Nikon Coolpix L830 review

 

The Nikon Coolpix L830 is all about giving you an affordable long-zoom camera that's not bloated with features you might never use, but has just enough of them to keep you from feeling cheated or like you're missing out.

The Nikon Coolpix L830 is easy enough for just about anyone to pick up and use; it has higher-end features for its price, such as a tilting high-res LCD; and has very good daylight photo and movie quality.

No electronic viewfinder or control over shutter speed and aperture might be disappointing for some. Autofocus performance is on the slow side when the lens is zoomed in as well as in low light or indoors.

With easy-to-use controls, a nice tilting LCD, and pleasing photo quality, the affordable 34x zoom Nikon Coolpix L830 is a solid pick.

Nikon Coolpix L830 review

 

As long as one is aware of its limitations, the Nikon Coolpix L830 should satisfy its intended customer – users looking for a super zoom camera on a budget.

The Nikon Coolpix L830 has the stance of a more advanced camera, but in reality it is a good point and shoot with a super-zoom lens – good for casual photographers who want something more than a basic compact or smartphone, but unimpressive to anyone...

Nikon Coolpix L830 Plum

 

It's a modest update from last year's L820 , which was a good deal as well. In fact, the differences between the two pretty much come down to three features: a tilting LCD (the L820's was fixed), a little extra zoom (765mm compared to 675mm), and a...

Nikon Coolpix L830 Review

 

The Nikon Coolpix L830 represents the new pinnacle of Nikon's budget-conscious, easy to use Coolpix L-series. Considering its relatively attractive price of £229.99 / $299.95 / €279, you get a lot of bang for your buck. Headline specs are its 34x zoom...

Like its baby brother, the L330, the Nikon Coolpix L830 is a puzzling prospect. Both cameras are certainly easy to use, but no more so than most cameras with an intelligent automatic mode. Neither can the L830 bring anything remarkable to the table in...

Nikon Coolpix L830

 

The new member of Nikon's Coolpix L series bridge camera has several new features. L830 packs powerful 34X zoom lens with focal length range of 22.5-765mm (in 35mm camera terms) that ensure sharp shots at such long focal lengths. Coolpix

34X super zoom, 16MP camera, good night shots, powerful flash, macro shots from 1 CM distance, tilting LCD display, good daylight images

No viewfinder, low-light autofocus performance is slow, no connectivity features (Wi-Fi)

Though it is a bulky DSLR type bridge camera, it shoots well during both day and night. With the super zoom capability, it comes in handy to click photos for each occasion. People looking for an affordable camera that can capture moments with a fair...

Nikon L830 review

 

The Nikon COOLPIX L830 is a budget bridge super-zoom. Its DSLR-styled body is light and compact - a step down in scale from the mid and higher end P-range super-zooms. Launched in January 2014, it supersedes the L820 extending the 30x optical zoom...

34x optical stabilised zoom ; 3in 921k dot articulated screen ; Long life from NiMH and Lithium AAs ; Wide range of movie modes including 1080p

Lens cap blocks lens on power up ; Bulky and heavy AA batteries ; Delete button active in shooting modes ; No Wifi

The COOLPIX L830 Is a budget super-zoom that somehow manages to include features that you'd only expect to find on a more expensive model. There's the zoom of course, a 34x optical range isn't all that common in a model this size at this price. But the...
