The camera is small and light enough to carry around with you everywhere, which is why it’s a popular choice for vacations. However, from my experience, it’s still an excellent camera for anyone who wants to take great photos without spending thousands of dollars on cameras. In terms of pricing, the L340 compares relatively closely with the Canon PowerShot SX410 HS, although the latter has a longer focal length range, at 40x. Other buttons on the back of the Nikon Coolpix L340 are a playback button for looking through your shot images, a Menu button for accessing the main menu and a delete button. Nikon Coolpix L340 uses AA batteries, using a battery life that updates 370 images when using an alkaline battery, or 960 shots when using a battery.

It has excellent time-lapse shooting functions, making it a good choice for wildlife and astrophotography.While the design can seem unimportant for some, remember that nothing can beat a fashionable and sturdy device.

Con 3) Few Models With Image Stability and Articulated Screens: In general, most Nikon models lack built-in image stabilization, increasing the potential for image blur when taking photos without a tripod. Where previous camera types included 26x optics, the latest version received 28x optical zoom, offering a 35mm focal array equivalent to 22. You can’t alter things such as aperture, shutter speed, autofocus point, and so on, and you can only shoot in JPEG (there’s no raw format shooting). It’s found in a sort of recession into the camera, so it’d be pretty difficult to accidentally knock the record button on and make erroneous videos.However, the limited ISO range (ISO 80-1600) combined with the rather slow lens makes for a disappointing combination in many situations. There's no noise evident in any pictures with this rating, edge definition is sharp and the colours are faithfully reproduced.
