Nikon Coolpix L340 reviews

Pluses: Compact, adequate in price. Good quality of shooting. There is a connector for external power supply.

Disadvantages: Very picky about lighting when shooting video. All the videos I get are dark, despite the lighting.

Disadvantages: I bought a camera for shooting indoors with a tripod. There are no complaints about shooting with lighting. I work in auto mode. I actively use the zoom. With active work with zoom, the quality of photos remains high-quality (the camera has an indicator signaling the border of approaching the border, when the quality starts to fall) I took several photographs of animals – the movement in auto mode is poorly caught. For my needs, the very thing. Before that there was nikon p600. In comparison with the older model, Nikon L340 is no worse. Suitable primarily for those who need a good zoom.

Pros: Super good zoom

Disadvantages: Doesn't really take pictures

Disadvantages: I bought it to replace the old Samsung NV7 soap dish. I read the reviews again good. Duc here, in comparison with a budget soap dish – heaven and earth. Manual focus, exposure adjustment, color adjustment, super macro photography for objects a few millimeters from the lens, multiple flash types adjustment, sensitivity adjustment, shutter speed adjustment – there is nothing in this camera)))). And it was in the soap dish. And if you need to take a photo of something fast (for example, a child), he is not at all capable of doing it. Auto mode – does not cope with anything. On Samsung NV7, half of the photos were taken on cars – everything is super. Here – a continuous mess. But the zoom is good! But that's all. Oh yes, the energizer eats batteries well, quickly.

Advantages: Good zoom, low price, attractive appearance, convenient, ordinary 4 batteries, you can remove the “shutter sound”.

Disadvantages: The quality of pictures is worse than on a mobile phone !!!

Disadvantages: Saw Nikon Coolpix L340 among the cheapest ultrazoom cameras at the moment. And if about the rest of the cameras the reviews were 50/50, then this model was praised by literally 90% of buyers. You can also see here how many fours and fives are placed. All these reviews misled me. It was enough to take a series of photos with a mobile phone and this camera – the difference is shockingly obvious! In cloudy weather, the SMARTPHONE showed much more fine detail in the photo than this zoom lens! Ten years ago I bought for myself a camera with ultrazoom, also inexpensive, but I was not ashamed to even print those pictures in a large format and hang them on the wall! People, my advice to you: take a smartphone for 12,000 rubles, the quality of the pictures will not be worse. Of course, a mobile phone will not have a zoom, and therefore you always have to approach and not shoot from afar. You always take your mobile phone with you anyway – that's the quality, if you buy a smartphone for 12-13 thousand rubles, it will be no worse to shoot! It's a shame, there is not much money, I thought this model was something like stock balances in warehouses, the last of the inexpensive and not bad ones. I have already bought a purse and a pencil for cleaning optics … – now I will give all this to my friends. And the camera immediately handed over in the evening. But that's better than losing 12 thousand for nothing.

Advantages: no advantages

Disadvantages: My ancient cell phone with a 5MP camera shoots better in any shooting conditions. This device can give out a more or less decent photo only with perfect lighting in sunny weather. All other modes are complete crap. Photos are dull, there is no color rendering at all. There is no video quality. A display without rotation is generally useless. The slightest deviation of the angle – nothing is visible on it, only if the display is clearly in front of your eyes. The question is – why is he needed this at all? it was possible to make a simple viewfinder in the old fashioned way. There are no really useful settings.

Disadvantages: Banal pumping out of money on a promoted brand. Money wasted, I don't recommend it to anyone. Look for other manufacturers. This is my 2nd Nikon, my wife bought it out of ignorance, the seller persuaded it. I'm tying up with Nikon. I also had problems with the 1st, I repaired it under warranty, they did it, but I waited a long time. The same problem appears again, the matrix is ​​buggy. On the Nikon website, there is not even an opportunity to leave reviews about their products, this in itself says a lot. They are afraid to burn their “reputation”.

Pluses: Yes, awesome phot! I took what was, because the phot was needed urgently (I was going with the child to the zoo and to the ship, but my own was dead) There are few settings, but even without them it gets up! Yes, sometimes he is reluctant to look for a frame (at night, on the move, from a vibrating ship), but everything they wanted was filmed – both the animals in motion and Moscow at night from the ship. Better than my previous ones.

Disadvantages: Not enough custom settings

Disadvantages: I don’t regret it at all. Thinks and saves quickly, checked the quality at high magnification – no soap, no rainbow. Apparently someone was not lucky with equipment and pens.

Pluses: Flash, zoom, design, quality.

Disadvantages: Scene auto selector does not work well.

Disadvantages: I have been using the camera for 9 months, compared with many soap dishes that are more expensive, the L340 will be much better, but if you shoot it correctly. I only use AUTO MODE, other modes spoil the quality of the photo. ISO is from 80 to 400, but almost always 80 and even at night the photos are cool, well, I choose the white balance manually depending on the situation. The flash is good, the light is far away. The batteries last for a very long time – Durasel lasted more than 600 photos, almost all with a flash. I put in lithium batteries and I'm not worried. On the zoom, the photos are awesome in quality, it's a pity that there are almost no manual settings, but a portrait with a blurred background can be easily made. The camera is good for your money. Many people write that the photo cannot be viewed without turning on the camera and climbing in the menu too, so did you even hold the camera in your hands? Hold the photo viewer button for 2 seconds and everything is the same as in all cameras. And even when you turn it on for the first time, you must set the time and time zone, then other settings will be available (stabilization, for example). If you did not enter it, keep it without batteries for about a week until it is completely reset.

Advantages: The quality is 20 megapixels, the zoom is good, the video shoots at 30 fps, the price, the weight is 430 grams, a bunch of filters

Disadvantages: The zoom buzzes a lot, the screen does not rotate, the video is in HD, there are few settings, it works on batteries.

Disadvantages: I am a professional in photography and video shooting. Digicam is good, but not the best. It runs on batteries, but I bought AA batteries and I'm not worried! A DSLR is always better, but for a digital camera it's great! In general, a good fotik)

Pluses: Price, wide angle of optics. In high quality mode (5152×3864 with an asterisk) JPG files weigh 7-10 megabytes and stretch well in Photoshop (not RAW, of course, but the result pleased)

Disadvantages: Soapy at the widest angle and at ultra zoom, although the price covers this disadvantage as well as the viewing angles of the display (TN TFT matrix). Why shove 20MP on such a small matrix, I don't understand, ISO 400 is working, 800 is noisy, 1600 is porridge. As a professional in cinematography, I personally did not have enough manual exposure mode.

Disadvantages: Took for 9350 for retired parents in spbzone, in general, not a bad device. Includes USB cable, cover, strap and batteries. Test without processing and with a twist of the exposure in the camera: from the store to home https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Dxai/JoMmWnxqh P.S. There are so many miners on previous reviews that it seems that competitors are up in arms. If the review lies, write your own and attach proof.
