Nikon Coolpix L610 (Black) price range: $139.00 - $249.99
- Reviewed by: Joshua Goldman
- Reviewed on: 01/23/2013
The good: The Nikon Coolpix L610 has an above-average feature set for its street price, including a backside-illuminated CMOS sensor and 14x zoom, and uses AA batteries for power.
The bad: Shooting performance, while better than most in this category, is too slow for photos of kids and pets. Battery life is short with alkaline batteries. Flash must be manually popped up and the optical zoom doesn't work while recording video.
The bottom line: Though nothing extraordinary, the Nikon Coolpix L610 is a decent entry-level compact camera that shoots slightly above its price.

Summary: All in all, it is a very nice camera, with great features, and seems to be worth the money I spent on it. I don't know if it is just the camera I got, but any time I try to record video, it says the batteries are exhausted, even if they are brand new. I am an ametuer at photo taking, so don't be going out buying one just off what i said, look around, and choose the one best for you. (This camera happened to be what i was looking for)
