This is a further development of my Nikon Coolpix L120, which I have not even looked at. I miss 35mm film and my Nikon FE. If you really want to learn photography, composition and some art, use an old-fashioned 4x5 camera. You can, but don't have to, study exposure, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, otherwise film speed and Image Master. BRIGHT. Since your local pharmacy does not sell negatives or 4x5 film, you can develop and print film yourself. Skip a few decades and buy a modern digital "wonder" like the Nikon D5600. You're an idiot again. Wonderful. This D5600 works with Nikkor AI-S lenses in manual mode as well as newer Nikkor DX or FX autofocus lenses. Like many of its kind, it's an unbearably obnoxious know-it-all. Give yourself a few months sabbatical to explore this insufferable beginner nerd cam.
