When life is action-packed, you need a camera that takes great photos and HD movies without interrupting the fun. The super-fast, super-easy L610 Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera hits the mark. Zoom in close with a 14x optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens. Optical VR Image Stabilization keeps the shot steady (even if your hands are not). You won't have to worry about camera settings — Easy Auto Mode on the 14x Optical Zoom Digital Camera makes all the control decisions for you. The high resolution 16.0-megapixel CMOS sensor on the L610 Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera lets you shoot with confidence in challenging lighting conditions. You'll create brilliant photos and Full HD (1080p) movies — indoors even without a flash, during sunsets, on cloudy days, beside nighttime cityscapes and more. Fire off action sequences at 1.9 frames per second (up to 4 shots).
Very nice camera with good feel to controls onboard. It is also right size for portability and my size hands...

I love the compact size and the way it fits my hand. Pictures are sharp. The primary drawback is the relatively short ALKALINE battery life, which is a problem with most AA powered cameras. Be sure to use quality lithium batteries or good rechargeables and you won't have any battery problems. Good zoom range. I purchased a hard leather Nikon case which protects the camera and lets me just stick it in my pocket, so it's always ready. I like the zoom range for photographing birds, butterflies and flowers. Very good macro mode for close-ups. I have not tried all the features available and I am not a professional. I have not tried nighttime shots as yet. I was looking for a handy little camera to replace a different brand digital camera that I owned and this fits the bill, but again be sure to use lithium batteries or good rechargeable ones. I stick a couple of spare batteries in my pocket when I go bird-watching just in case I need them. I bought this from my local Wal-Mart store and the price is very reasonable.

Review 4 for Nikon Black COOLPIX L610 Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 14x Optical Zoom
After reading the reviews I thought this would be a great camera for a wonderful price but should have known better. Thankfully my phone camera has very good quality or I would have missed a lot of wonderful shots of my grandchildren this spring break...this camera is going back today!

Review 5 for Nikon Black COOLPIX L610 Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 14x Optical Zoom
I bought this camera based on the specs, the most important one being the use of AA pen light cells. No dead battery worries. I would have preferred a slightly smaller size but compromised to get the 14x optical zoom. It is still small enough to be easily carried and takes great pictures.

Review 6 for Nikon Black COOLPIX L610 Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 14x Optical Zoom
I bought this camera online for vacation. I did not have very high expectations for a $150.00 camera, however it was not what I expected or wanted. It took great pictures, but took way to long to process each shot before youcould take another. And the flip up manual flash... Why? Definitely not worth the extra $50.00 over the many other budget cameras they sell. I even exchanged it for $79.00 camera that works much faster.

Faster Memory Card needed for Nikon L610
Posted 03/19/2013
You're right — this camera is somewhat slow to write pictures but largely that can be improved by getting a faster (newer) SD card, a class 10 that does 45MB transfer speed works best but at minimum you'll want an SD card that can do 30MB per second (especially if you need to shoot video). As for the manual flash, the low light capacity means you don't always need flash unless you're shooting moving people or pets in a low-lit environment where you will see blurring if the lighting isn't decent (for minimizing blurring it is also helpful to increase the ISO). The good thing about this camera, in any event, is that when you do use the flash it will go a lot further, up to 19 feet, yet at the same time it doesn't have a narrow, blinding focal area that will glare off of subjects' the way some very small camera flashes do.
In general, Easy Auto (with heart icon) works better than the Auto/program mode for capturing the best shot on this particular camera. Finally, this camera is also fairly quick to eat through AA batteries. Nikon should have included lithium AA's for some 400+ images, as opposed to just 40 images on a set of alkalines. (There is a place in the menu to set it to rechargeable or lithium batteries.)

Review 7 for Nikon Black COOLPIX L610 Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 14x Optical Zoom
Took this camera to Vegas. It took great pictures and was easy to use. I hardly had to use the flash, that was great for taking pictures inside. I only gave it for stars because it has so many slections to choose for taking pictures it was hard to use, but with use it should become easer. And sometimes it was hard to get it to focus. I really think this is a great camera and would buy it again.

Review 10 for Nikon Black COOLPIX L610 Digital Camera with 16 Megapixels and 14x Optical Zoom
Replaced a Nikon Coolpix L11, which we used for about four years. It was an easy camera to use, light and reliable. This newer L610 has given us the same type of service with greater flexibility, more detail and enhanced features. We expecially like the telephoto and low light performance and the video capabilities. One of the best features is that it still uses AA batteries. The new high performance AA batteries work very well and have good duration. More importantly, they're easy to replace in a pinch, especially when outside the US. The L610 is a little heavier and larger , but well worth it when considering the performance. The camera package includes updated editing software for a computer. Because the lens is larger and more susceptible to damage than the L11, we purchased a small carrying case. While it doesn't have all the GPS and wireless features of some of the more expensive cameras, it does what cameras are supposed to do - take great pictures with ease.
