Review: It's a basic digital camera with decent zoom - I got the Nikon L840 to replace my Canon SX-520HS for general photography. So I decided on this Nikon L840 camera. I have now had this Nikon camera for over a year and now can give a decent review on this Nikon camera. Pros: Nice 38X optical zoom lens, exposure controls, easy to use, great sized rubberized hand grip, nice tilt-out rear LCD view-finder, takes SD cards, uses 4 AA batteries, has really good battery life & takes a pretty very good photo indoors [with flash] or outdoors in full daylight conditions. Cons: It feels so cheap with so much plastic, the auto focus sometimes is a bit slow, cumbersome menu system & no mode wheel on top of the camera since there are very few manual settings this camera can do. Overall photo quality seems quite good with this camera. Indoor photo quality with flash & outdoor photo quality in full daylight are actually quite good for me. Taking photos in low-light conditions is a bit harder with this camera & photo quality drops considerably unless you use the flash, but none of my digital cameras really never took a halfway decent low-light photo anyways. Digital video quality is great. It has wi-fi for those that use it. Overall, I am very fairly pleased with the photo & video quality this digital camera produces. I have had similar Nikon "P series" digital cameras including Nikon P-500, P-510 and a P-520 and this L-840 from Nikon compares better against the P-500 and P-510 and equals the P-520 in photo qualities. I am rather pleased overall with this Nikon camera. If you need a fairly basic, larger, inexpensive digital camera with a decent-sized zoom that takes pretty good photos & fairly easy to use, I think this Nikon digital camera is about the best you can find in the price range and compares very favorably to similar Canon digital cameras including the SX-510HS [30X optical zoom] and SX-520HS [42X optical zoom] in photo qualities. I gave this Nikon digital camera 5 of 5 stars because I simply think it's a great basic super-zoom bridge digital camera. UPDATE: I have now had this Nikon L-840 for over 7 months & overall photos are pretty good still, no change there. Indoor photos are still very good and really a periodic issue with the "freezing up" of the camera and me removing and reinserting the 4 AA batteries once in a great while is the only problem that has popped up. No other issues and the camera is still working pretty good. I kept the rating at 5 stars because nothing serious has happened yet with this camera for me.
Review: Neat little camera - Note: I am a novice. I'm still not knowledgeable (or aware) of all the functions of this camera. The smaller size and lighter weight of this unit are big pluses when traveling. Very easy to set up and get shots quickly because it is not as bulky as other makes/models of cameras. Easy to use buttons, and intuitive. Best feature I've discovered so far is the zooming. Example: from shore in Bar Harbor, ME, took picture of a lighthouse, on a tiny island (egg rock, I believe). Need a steady hand to do it, but the camera has incredible zooming from such a distance. Can get shots of hummingbirds with remarkable detail (and those little guys are hard to get to sit still and pose!). Still trying to figure out why the zooming function is a little finicky. (I suspect I'm choosing a setting not suitable for what my intent demands.) Depending on lighting conditions, size of objects in the foreground and background, sometimes the camera has a hard time determining what to focus on exactly. I've noticed this difficulty mostly in overcast weather, with monotone colors abound (gray, brown, taupe, with almost no distinction in lighting conditions between closeup and far away). Overall happy with purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you adjust the aperture and shutter speed with this camera?**
A: Actually, it does not have manual settings.  You can change the scene mode, which will change aperture and shutter settings, but even then, the camera chooses for you.  The lack of manual settings is my biggest complaint with the camera.  I know what I want the camera to do, but I can't get it to do it.

**Q: how does it do with upclose pictures?**
A: Close up pictures are absolutely true to life. There is one small shortcoming with this camera though - not a defect - just an irritant. If you power up the camera without taking off the lens cover, it gives a 'lens error'. Only way is to put off and put on the camera again. Hopefully its a software issue that they can fix.

**Q: What is included?**
A: The camera, lens cover, a strap to hang it around your neck, and the cord with a USB end to hook up to your computer! Hope this helped :)

**Q: Will it be good for a beginner?**
A: Yes, good for a beginner. Basically a point and shoot camera, great for landscapes and portraits. Has a great optical zoom of up to 38x and when set on macro amazing closeups. One you get used to all the options you will love it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good but still being tested
*by E***R on January 17, 2016*

i don't like giving reviews before i have had plenty of time to test a product, which is why you get 4 stars and not 5, as i am still testing. i do a lot of testing. most of my effort is in low light. weakness- on off button too small and too low profile. 2nd, button to view pictures just below hand grip. i understand why its there, but move it. camera's are for taking pictures not viewing them. when i hold the camera in one hand to take a picture, the 1st knuckle joint can hit this button as i squeeze to take the shot. this button changes the camera mode to view pictures. which means that ones in a life time photo was missed. move that button. i noticed a drop in quality when sequence shots, the latch on the battery compartment feels weak, . in my opinion, this is what will end the life of the camera when it fails... duct tape to the rescue. i know i'm being hard, but thats who you want to hear from. . now the good stuff. its a great camera, your not a professional, professionals are not looking at point and shoot cameras. so buy the camera. i'm not going to be a sales man, and run threw all that's good, i gave it 4.5 stars, that tells you my thoughts. low light is the big test for any camera, point this at the sky at night, take a picture and you can see the stars in the photo. the camera greatly exceeded my expectations in low light, normal lighting, i'm still testing, but all cameras can handle normal, its speed and lighting, the win the day for cameras. i have tested the lighting, it passed, the speed, i haven't tested, it winter. it's cold, so testing is delayed. 4.5 stars, i would buy it again.
