Review on 📷 Nikon COOLPIX L830 16 MP CMOS Digital Camera: 34x Zoom NIKKOR Lens, Full 1080p HD Video & More! by Larry Cothran

I was expecting to receive this camera on December 8th, but it arrived on December 2nd, the day after I ordered it. I'm not sure if the same applies if you buy it, but in terms of speed, I'm very surprised. ****** Although this can be long, please read the honest review. **REGARDING THE CAMERA: I've spent HOURS reading reviews and had mixed feelings. I even researched outside sources to come to a conclusion. In the end I decided to buy a camera that seemed to be selling for a very good price. I bought this camera from Amazon marked "New" and the seller's name seemed to start with an S. I clicked the button with the seller's name in blue and saw a 98% satisfaction rating with VERY LITTLE dissatisfaction. He seemed good enough to me. Despite the surprise, I received the camera with ALL the cables (actually a connecting cable; USB), a set of batteries and straps, which I looked up on YouTube on how to attach them. First of all, all the problems I found reading the review were mostly solved in the instructions I found on the internet before I received them in the mail along with the package. One-year warranty documents were also included. Although the manual was long, I am VERY GRATEFUL that I took the time to read it as it contained useful information that those who rated the product four stars or less complained about. Photographer but let me tell you this is an AMAZING CAMERA. The image uploaded to my computer was crystal clear and the camera's editing capabilities were great. I could go into more detail on all the specs, but you'd better watch a YouTube video to learn more about the camera and see some comparisons. - I did that and realized that this camera is great for me. I don't care that the camera runs on AA batteries, but for some it was a hindrance. If batteries won't void your warranty, you should look into rechargeable batteries. Plus, you don't have to worry about forgetting your charger. Second, you can buy a camera bag. I haven't thought about it and will be rummaging through my closet for something durable until I buy one. You will also need an SD card (or memory card). YES, autofocus can be blurry at times and a steady hand takes better photos, but with a little patience, and I mean A LOT, things should clear up. This is nothing unusual and the same thing happened with my first camera (which is still nothing compared to it). Reading the manual will also help you learn about AF (autofocus) options. Another issue I found in the reviews was that the camera didn't have a viewfinder (something to look at). but the screen tilts. I have to agree that the viewfinder would have done better, but it wasn't a deal breaker. I might as well move the camera away from my face and take a picture. Take the time to get to know the camera and you will love it. maybe a bit out of my league. People call this camera "beginner" but I like it. I could go on but overall I am very happy with my purchase and I have reason to believe you are too. Take some of the negative reviews with a pinch of salt because they probably haven't read the manual, but listen to the "gotchas" as some have described to see if the camera is right for you . It doesn't feel cheap, it's not very heavy and the color (red) I bought is sexy to say the least; it is dark red while it looks slightly pink in the picture. I agree that it will take time to learn how to use it the way I want, but just playing around with it, I like it. Smile Finder works great too! (You can buy a tripod if you plan to use it frequently) I've had a few blurry shots with it so far, but I think it's because I'm still learning. I re-read the manual :) LARGE CAMERA INCLUDED: **** USB CABLE ***** NECK AND LENS HOLDER ***** FOUR AAA BATTERIES ***** EXTENDED FOR 1 YEAR WARRANTY LOT MUST TO PURCHASE : CARD MEMORY, OPTIONAL AA BATTERY (MUST BE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS BRAND AND MODEL) CAMERA CARRYING CASE ****** UPDATE -----> SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS (I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER)** ** * *** **I STILL LOVE THE CAMERA A FEW MONTHS LATER BUT MY BIG SUGGESTION: BUY NIKON GUARANTEED APPROVED BATTERIES. YOU WILL BE CONFIRMED WITH A GUARANTEE BY CHECKING THE MANUAL YOU RECEIVE WITH THE PACKAGE, CALLING YOU AND/OR SEARCHING FOR YOU ON THE INTERNET. hp IT MAY GET A FEW BLURRY SHOTS BEFORE YOU SET UP THE CAMERA BUT IF YOU LEARN TO USE IT YOU CAN GET REALLY BIG SHOT! HOPE THAT HELPED!
