I have this camera. I love it, especially for the price.. The two annoying things are the batteries and lack of viewfinder. I just purchased rechargeable batteries, which pretty much solves the problem. The viewfinder thing is still annoying, but you can't find a flip-out screen on any camera at this pricepoint. The HD video is very good and it is much easier to use than a DSLR. I had a T3i before and it was too complicated for a beginner. This camera is good for someone like me who doesn't have time to learn complicated settings.
Within the settings, can you change the shutter speed and ISO? I read in a CNET review that you can't change the settings, which doesn't make any sense at all. Surely I am misinterpreting what they're saying.
i had always wanted to take pictures but never really got much into it besides simple shots, of my kids or people, i bought this camera, and i was and am currently in love with it, i no longer use it much now i am now using a dslr nikon which i love even more, i shoot mostly live band stuff, as well as sunsets and moon stuff, as far as this camera goes you can and will be able to take some fantastic pictures, i highly recommend it, if you are just starting out, i'm on facebook and post alot of my pictures there. i really love this camera you will be able to get great pictures, but settings are limited as far as having full control of setting but gives you great options either way.
I bought this yesterday after watching this review! :D Its a pretty nice camera for a beginner like me :) Gonna make some visual effect movies now....:D I'm from India, here its Rs. 14,900/- Thanks for the review bro, it really helped :)
Bought this camera yesterday off eBay. Amazing little thing! Much, much over what I expected. Got it for £80, looks new. Real deal, compared to the new compact cameras at same price.
How do you adjust the video to a smaller setting. When I shoot video and then watch it, The shooting is so large that it kinda bliinks frame after frame because its shooting so large and I dont know how to adjust the size setting on the camera
I'm a nail blogger currently looking to upgrade to a can instead of the phone I'm using right now. Would you say this is a good camara for close range pics?
Got this for Christmas unexpectedly. I've been wanting to get into photography for a while (Wanting to get the Nikon D53/5500 for a real DSLR) Didn't even know this existed until I got it haha. I like it so far, it's a good beginner camera, very simple to use, not too much going on so you can just point and shoot
Unfortunately most companies make their cameras record under 30 minutes by default per video because of some shipping tariff. If they record more than 30 mins they are considered video cameras. ;(
Yeah, It's dumb why would a tax law be any different for a "video" camera vs a "still" camera today? Most still cameras do video and most camcorders can do snaps. (and phones do both as well) a camera is a lens on a box! Typical government stupidity!
I find this to be a really nice camera for its price. It shoots close-ups relatively well as well as composed shots in general. There are limitations on exposure settings, but it's not too much of a hassle unless you are shooting at...low light. However, its video quality out weighs its cons tremendously. The zoom is long and cinematic, plus this camera shoots 1080p video at 60fps, which is a peg up from most entry level cameras. Simply because, my entry level Canon T5 Rebel and entry level GoPro 3 Silver both shoot at 1080p, but only at 30fps.
Hi! I am loving my Coolpix L830 and having no technical difficulties, but I seemed to have gotten stuck and lost in the different scene modes that you can use. I was exploring them all but I cannot seem to be able to go BACKWARDS to the original set of scene modes that have the landscape. I use landscape a lot. I NEED to get back to that! I wonder if you could help me figure out how to go back to landscape? I would think that it is a simple thing, but I have been spending a lot of time trying to get back there with no results at all. If you could help, it would be SO appreciated!! :-/
I have this camera really like it. Battery life could be better but for the price its an all around good camera. I would say for a beginner like my self its a great deal.
+Awesome Clips I have no idea but some amazon reviewers were complaining about that then commentors of those reviews said to thoroughly read through the manual, as that answers lots of problems apparently.
I got this camera, it is really good. But I can't figure out what causes the following problem. As soon something moves. It is blurred.... anyone know what I need to use? I tried the sports mode. But no change...
BeautybyLish Thank you for the info, but how do I switch off the auto zoom? There is only manual, and it still produces terrible blurred pictures... for example an arm moves..
Would this be a good camera for makeup tutorial videos? As in does it catch lighting well and does it autofocus very well during a video where a lot of close up will take place? Plz answer back Karl Conrad
The Autofocus isn't that good. You also don't need this much zoom for a makeup tutorial IMO. For makeup, try and get a camera that has a flip screen so you can see what you are doing on camera. (Sony NEX)
PrepperWorkShop no all muslims dont do beheadings, just like all christians are not crusaders I leave you in peace and i wont curse you back even though i can coz i dont want to dirty my tongue like you can
+Javed Iqbal Memon So true, However those people who where in the crusade where not Christians or they would not have done that in the name of the Holy God.If you would like to talk about truth just shoot me an email or something, would be happy talking to a muslim.
Hey nice video! I just have a quick question. Does the L830 have a burst mode? It allows you to take multiple shots at once. Please reply asap. Thanks!
olivia bartenn TheNBPM this camera is a great camera and has great HD, the autofocus does come in handy so if you wanted to do makeup tutorials you could but I recommend maybe one with a flip lens that you could see your face in the lens but other than that the camera will do the job so i recommend it and the videos come out great with the lexar 1080 HD card!
It appears that the 16mp camera on my galaxy note 4 phone takes better pics than this camera. While the galaxy lacks a zoom lens, it stays in focus better, and in side by side tests, has taken more detailed images. I have just started learning how to use the nikon L830, and love the look & feel of it, but want good photos; need to learn to use the nikon to be sure.
I don't know. The image quality doesn't look to have a High resolution liking and non-replaceable lens..uh. I think I'll be heading to the D3200 if I am willing to spend a little more. Hmm difficult choice.
Hi very quick question I got my nikon l830 a week ago but yet I dont know how to use the flash when im recording in the dark do you think you could help ?
The flash can't be in active more than half a second. Flashes use capacitors to power them up immensely just to fire once, so if the flash is active continuously then you will run out of batteries in 5 min or your camera will get heated up so much that it might melt the circuits inside.
is this considered a Digital or a bridge camera im fairly new to photography and i got thrown off when he said its a point and shoot camera which i thought where Digitals but please comment and help me out :)
how long will this camera record video nonstop? I'm looking for a good dual purpose camera that can also record. I'd rarely record for such long times, but I know I'll never go over an hour so that's why i say that. Anyone know?
Got this camera for christmas a year or so ago. I still can't figure out how to get pictures of stars! I try a bunch of settings and never get stars that i see in the picture. Just black screen. What settings should i use to get pictures of stars?
+Karl Conrad The pictures you took were saturated by the background light, your light source was behind most of the objects you took pictures of, making them look lower in quality. its not the cameras fault it is poor photography
I was wondering because I saw this on Ebay and a smaller package set for 29.99. www.ebay.com/itm/231448441120?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
That would be a matter of depth-of-field settings. So if you stand away from the object, and zoom in so the zoom is somewhere between 80mm and 200mm (equivalent lens) you should get a blurred background, depending on how far away the background is from the object.
It has a fixed lens, unfortunately. The only special about this is the 34x zoom for a very good and inexpensive price. I think everything else is very basic on this camera when it comes to point and shoot. I just literally watched your review on this camera about ten minutes ago. lol
ok guys, so im looking to get a camera to start photography, im 15. should i start with an Asashi Pentax k1000, or this Nikon L830? please help, Thanks
Hi guys i m confused with this 3 cameras, i.e nikon coolpix l830 Canon powershot sx510hs Sony cybershot h300 Almost same price and differences in specs
I was looking into buying this as well as a first time camera. I looked on amazon. It does have 1080P video.www.amazon.com/dp/B00HQ4W3OE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=13P66NC53SJAQ&coliid=I2LHVODYUAFE8W&psc=1
I'm not sure if this helps or not, but I do see the camera has an AC adapter port, but it'd be a separate purchase. Now, depending on the type.duration of time lapses you're thinking of doing, many people will do so by taking a large number of photographs at intervals, and then combining those into a video. Most cameras can't be set to take enough photos by themselves, and need to be hooked up to a computer or tablet to control them, but that's more in DSLRs than this type of camera. I'm not professing to be an expert, but it's just things to think about.
No, you'd have to use a DSLR for that. I *have* seen some cameras with adapters to make the zoom stronger, or make it more wides angle (especially Canon S2IS/S3IS) but am not aware of any adapters for this camera.
No. There is No light inside these. The Flash is caused by a capacitor that charges and discharges within the system. The power is just sent through a fine element inside the flash which is what causes the Flash. You could put some red cellophane or something over it if that's what you want to do how to make it look red.
Can't update firmware on P600 from 1.0 to 1.2 :( First the camera said "update failed" Then i tried formatting the SD and copy the firmware to it again and now the camera does not even show the option to update, only the current version 1.0 :( And firmware 1.0 will not charge my dead spare batter. Arghhh!
Well to say the least, this camera is the most practical to use! Well, that is if you don't have really a complicated preferences like other professional photographers. If you are just into for casual photography that you use everyday, then this camera is the best choice!
I have a couple of questions for anyone who will answer... How long of a video does this camera take? I have the Nikon Coolpix L26 and it has over 15 different settings (Close up, snow, inside, ect.) and I was wondering if anyone who has this camera knows if the Nikon Coolpix L830 has the same settings?
Hi I have a question... Does this camera auto focus? Example, if I wanted to film a makeup tutorial video and focus on my eyes, would it auto focus and zoom into it? I'll wait for your answer asap. Thank you.
Yes, it has auto focus. www.amazon.com/dp/B00HQ4W3OE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=13P66NC53SJAQ&coliid=I2LHVODYUAFE8W&psc=1 look at the Question and Answer portion at the bottom.(:
It will also depend if you want a close up autofocus on your subject (e.g your eye). You might want to test out the camera the cam at a shop on macro shooting. Nikon specified it at 1 cm minimum focusing distance. www.nikon.com.sg/en_SG/product/digital-compact-cameras/life/coolpix-l830#techspecs
hey man. I'm looking for a cam that can take some cool close up shoe pics and just some artsy sky pics but I also want the kind of camera with the strap that looks cool.😂what would u say is the best way to go for a good dollar?
I've had mine for a couple days now, it's zoom is pretty good, and it Can take some sick sky pictures. It has a Nikon strap which looks pretty cool to me
did you really just zoom in on a plain white wall for zoom test? wow, pick a tree or sign or....something with some detail....jeez
Mike Oxbig that wall is not even white
exactly, what a dumb test, there was a clock in that tower, that would have made a much better zoom target
I have this camera. I love it, especially for the price.. The two annoying things are the batteries and lack of viewfinder. I just purchased rechargeable batteries, which pretty much solves the problem. The viewfinder thing is still annoying, but you can't find a flip-out screen on any camera at this pricepoint.

Within the settings, can you change the shutter speed and ISO? I read in a CNET review that you can't change the settings, which doesn't make any sense at all. Surely I am misinterpreting what they're saying.
Bought mine yesterday in the Argos sale, taken one photo with it so far and really impressed with the quality.
this is a very good beginners camera! especially for younger people, especially for teenagers who are wanting to take some photography classes
Anamaria D. Nica I’ve also been told this! Glad I took the time to research, I’m absolutely in love with my little l830 plum baby 💜
Just purchased my own l830 here in 2018, VERY pleased with the quality!
i had always wanted to take pictures but never really got much into it besides simple shots, of my kids or people, i bought this camera, and i was and am currently in love with it, i no longer use it much now i am now using a dslr nikon which i love even more, i shoot mostly live band stuff, as well as sunsets and moon stuff, as far as this camera goes you can and will be able to take some fantastic pictures, i highly recommend it, if you are just starting out, i'm on facebook and post alot of my pictures there. i really love this camera you will be able to get great pictures, but settings are limited as far as having full control of setting but gives you great options either way.
i've also shot hd video live music and didn't use external mic it still came out fantastic good camera, for video or pictures buy it you'll enjoy it
Just bought one Saturday in black. Love it
How is the sound quality for recording ? And how is the video quality ?
You're a very good photographer. The still shots show you know how to shoot to show a camera's capabilities. Thanks for the review.
I bought this yesterday after watching this review! :D
Its a pretty nice camera for a beginner like me :) Gonna make some visual effect movies now....:D
I'm from India, here its Rs. 14,900/-
Thanks for the review bro, it really helped :)
thanks karl for the review
How good this one in low light?
For more details check out review on amazon amzn.to/13QwrY2
Bought this camera yesterday off eBay. Amazing little thing! Much, much over what I expected. Got it for £80, looks new. Real deal, compared to the new compact cameras at same price.
thank you for a very good review, my partner gave me this camera as my first point and shoot and it looks like he made a good call.
again thx's
Thanks for the video. Can enyone tell the difference between the L830 vs P530?
How do you change the image quality. Like from standard to fine
How do you change the picture Quality from basic to fine and vise versa
Hey Karl.. about the sample vid, were you using a microphone or was it the camera's mic itself?
Inhuman Dude yeah that's a
good question
haha yeah
wow, really good camera, thank u for reviewing
How do you adjust the video to a smaller setting. When I shoot video and then watch it, The shooting is so large that it kinda bliinks frame after frame because its shooting so large and I dont know how to adjust the size setting on the camera
waiting for moon zoom test.. will u pls?!
What is the autofocus on HD video like, it didn't seem to autofocus as you zoomed?
when you did the ouside test were u using the mic on the camera?
I'm a nail blogger currently looking to upgrade to a can instead of the phone I'm using right now. Would you say this is a good camara for close range pics?
Got this for Christmas unexpectedly. I've been wanting to get into photography for a while (Wanting to get the Nikon D53/5500 for a real DSLR) Didn't even know this existed until I got it haha. I like it so far, it's a good beginner camera, very simple to use, not too much going on so you can just point and shoot
Can we click still images while video recording is on?
Is there any way to get around the 29 minute recording limit?
Did you get the answer of how to make videos longer ....
Unfortunately most companies make their cameras record under 30 minutes by default per video because of some shipping tariff. If they record more than 30 mins they are considered video cameras. ;(
Yeah, It's dumb why would a tax law be any different for a "video" camera vs a "still" camera today? Most still cameras do video and most camcorders can do snaps. (and phones do both as well) a camera is a lens on a box! Typical government stupidity!
Great review
About the battery.... Is there any specific kind of battery to be used ?
great review!
I find this to be a really nice camera for its price. It shoots close-ups relatively well as well as composed shots in general. There are limitations on exposure settings, but it's not too much of a hassle unless you are shooting at...low light. However, its video quality out weighs its cons tremendously.

And I will be sure to pick one up!

How u can charge those battaries ??
Is it has this only type of battary ?
Does it have auto focus? Also, can the screen face the other way?
Also, what setting do you have to change to make the zoom on the video zoom faster? My L830 zooms in and out slow.
+Awesome Clips I have no idea but some amazon reviewers were complaining about that then commentors of those reviews said to thoroughly read through the manual, as that answers lots of problems apparently.
Is it good for recording?
Hi I have one on these cameras but I cant find the red eye reduction on it can you please tell me is it on it ...
I got this camera, it is really good. But I can't figure out what causes the following problem. As soon something moves. It is blurred.... anyone know what I need to use? I tried the sports mode. But no change...
Turn auto focus off
BeautybyLish Thank you for the info, but how do I switch off the auto zoom? There is only manual, and it still produces terrible blurred pictures... for example an arm moves..
what camera did you use to film this?
Damn 9 years ago nearly my life time 😮
Is this camera good enough to film short films?
i had the l810 and i have the l830 both are great
How can I upload my pictures to my iPhone?
well i am bit confused between fujifilm 6800 and nikon L830 can you suggest me a better camera
thank you
So I'll need a battery charge to load this camera?
Hey! I want buy a camera and i want your opinion! Nikon L330 or Nikon L830? Thanks a lot!
what would the best dslr camera be under £130
what is the difference between this and the L840?
How do you do to make video on the move?
Would this be a good camera for makeup tutorial videos? As in does it catch lighting well and does it autofocus very well during a video where a lot of close up will take place? Plz answer back Karl Conrad
The Autofocus isn't that good. You also don't need this much zoom for a makeup tutorial IMO. For makeup, try and get a camera that has a flip screen so you can see what you are doing on camera. (Sony NEX)
Karl Conrad which is a good camera with good autofocus around same budget. i need like iphone/nexus5 autofocus quality but around 200-300$ range?

is it possible to put an external microphone on it ??????
What are the best brand batteries ?
Hey nice video! I just have a quick question. Does the L830 have a burst mode? It allows you to take multiple shots at once. Please reply asap. Thanks!
no :( you will need a dslr for that :)
Would this be a good camera to use to film makeup tutorials
I need to know as well
olivia bartenn TheNBPM this camera is a great camera and has great HD, the autofocus does come in handy so if you wanted to do makeup tutorials you could but I recommend maybe one with a flip lens that you could see your face in the lens but other than that the camera will do the job so i recommend it and the videos come out great with the lexar 1080 HD card!
I have this exact camera and I have to say it’s great for zooming in in eye looks during filming
does this camera have live viewing ?
It appears that the 16mp camera on my galaxy note 4 phone takes better pics than this camera. While the galaxy lacks a zoom lens, it stays in focus better, and in side by side tests, has taken more detailed images. I have just started learning how to use the nikon L830, and love the look & feel of it, but want good photos; need to learn to use the nikon to be sure.
I am looking for a camera to take pics of stock cars in live action what would be the best camera for that ? thanks!!!
I don't know. The image quality doesn't look to have a High resolution liking and non-replaceable lens..uh. I think I'll be heading to the D3200 if I am willing to spend a little more. Hmm difficult choice.
go hard or go home! or just go D3200
Viktor Espinoza Yep, made my decision a few months ago, now I own a D3200. Its perfect.
Viktor Espinoza the l830 and the d3200 are vey different this is a beginners camera differing from the d3200 that is not
My Christmas gift,Iwill try it soon,like the zoom
Can`t wait to try....:)
Omg i got ut for xmas to!
I also got it for xmas from my fiancée. I think she has a good eye for cameras. Lol
hi can suggest m e which is best L830 or sony H300
Hi very quick question I got my nikon l830 a week ago but yet I dont know how to use the flash when im recording in the dark do you think you could help ?
The flash can't be in active more than half a second. Flashes use capacitors to power them up immensely just to fire once, so if the flash is active continuously then you will run out of batteries in 5 min or your camera will get heated up so much that it might melt the circuits inside.
is this considered a Digital or a bridge camera im fairly new to photography and i got thrown off when he said its a point and shoot camera which i thought where Digitals but please comment and help me out :)
Does yours have a strange noise? (like a high tone or sth like that) heard from that...:)
how long will this camera record video nonstop? I'm looking for a good dual purpose camera that can also record. I'd rarely record for such long times, but I know I'll never go over an hour so that's why i say that. Anyone know?
For as much memory it can handle, it'll go on and on, until the memory card gets filled up.
around 29-30 mins from most reviews I've read and seen. Best to get the rechargeable battery if you are doing longer filming.
ok dont yell at me for not watching full video or reading descrip. but tl;dr
DOES IT HAVE A TIMER AND SHOULD I BUY A TRIPOD
yes has a timer i would deff say tripod on full zoom
Got this camera for christmas a year or so ago. I still can't figure out how to get pictures of stars! I try a bunch of settings and never get stars that i see in the picture. Just black screen. What settings should i use to get pictures of stars?
a better camera 😄
+Karl Conrad The pictures you took were saturated by the background light, your light source was behind most of the objects you took pictures of, making them look lower in quality. its not the cameras fault it is poor photography
Can you put different lenses and flashes on this?
No yu can`t change the lens or Flasher this is the lower line of Nikon
you need to get a DSLR and a lower end one might cost about the same Chris
I was wondering because I saw this on Ebay and a smaller package set for 29.99.
www.ebay.com/itm/231448441120?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
You cannot change lens on bridge cameras..
Is this camera able to make a blurred background when taking a picture of an object ? Please answer
That would be a matter of depth-of-field settings. So if you stand away from the object, and zoom in so the zoom is somewhere between 80mm and 200mm (equivalent lens) you should get a blurred background, depending on how far away the background is from the object.
External flash support....????
Is this a good camera for shooting music videos and taking regular pictures ? I need your feedback
I have done some amazing wildlife photography with this camera. It all depends on your talent. Overall its a good camera.... id rate it 7 out of 10
The autofocus isnt that good while recording videos... id suggest for videos you go for sony
This is Toronto?
what is eye-fi?
Is this a good camera for doing photo shoots?? Please answer, thanks so much.
Not really... Sorry
Question: Are there any external lens that can be attached to this. Love mine, but I'm trying to be more professional.
It has a fixed lens, unfortunately. The only special about this is the 34x zoom for a very good and inexpensive price. I think everything else is very basic on this camera when it comes to point and shoot. I just literally watched your review on this camera about ten minutes ago. lol
LadyJaja Can you pause the video?
Penny and Holly's horses yes, also in case you're wondering, you cannot snap some pictures while taking a video.
LadyJaja How!
i just bought this today, and thanks for this review that i spent my money on a worth it camera
is it still worth it in 2020
DO you think this is a good camera for like stop motion animation or things that are very small
Of course. there is also a close up moce
Just wondering if I can take pics on the camera and download them by wifi to fb or insta?
I don't think this features wifi
I have this camera and cant get the burr out for nothing no matter what i do the images aren't clear ...any help would be greatly appreciated ..xo
this camera is great, but nobody mention the slowmo feature?
ok guys, so im looking to get a camera to start photography, im 15. should i start with an Asashi Pentax k1000, or this Nikon L830? please help, Thanks
L830
Hello Guys, I want to buy a new camera and could you suggest me which is better Nikon L830 or Nikon D3000? Thank you in advance : )
Hi guys i m confused with this 3 cameras, i.e
nikon coolpix l830
Canon powershot sx510hs
Sony cybershot h300
Almost same price and differences in specs
I do some time lapse how you do auto time lapse
Will it defocus the background like dslr dose ???
yep.
How long battery life does this have on 1080p video? I am thinking of doing timelapses
I was looking into buying this as well as a first time camera. I looked on amazon. It does have 1080P video.www.amazon.com/dp/B00HQ4W3OE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=13P66NC53SJAQ&coliid=I2LHVODYUAFE8W&psc=1

Now, depending on the type.duration of time lapses you're thinking of doing, many people will do so by taking a large number of photographs at intervals, and then combining those into a video.

I'm not professing to be an expert, but it's just things to think about.
I wouldn't get this camera for long time lapses, the batteries don't last that long! I mean I can film a 20 minute video but not much longer with it x
Hey was wondering if you could add an external lenses to this camera.
No, you'd have to use a DSLR for that. I *have* seen some cameras with adapters to make the zoom stronger, or make it more wides angle (especially Canon S2IS/S3IS) but am not aware of any adapters for this camera.
There is no hotshoe for this camera.
Can you put a led light inside when you pop up the flash
No. There is No light inside these. The Flash is caused by a capacitor that charges and discharges within the system. The power is just sent through a fine element inside the flash which is what causes the Flash. You could put some red cellophane or something over it if that's what you want to do how to make it look red.
Can't update firmware on P600 from 1.0 to 1.2 :(
First the camera said "update failed"
Then i tried formatting the SD and copy the firmware to it again and now the camera does not even show the option to update, only the current version 1.0
:(
And firmware 1.0 will not charge my dead spare batter. Arghhh!
Karl Conrad it's a good camera for youtube videos, like vlogs? Thx!
Ewerton Neves i wouldn't recommend it for that
Nop, look at Nikon P600 or Nikon S6600 or Samsung MV800.
Well to say the least, this camera is the most practical to use! Well, that is if you don't have really a complicated preferences like other professional photographers. If you are just into for casual photography that you use everyday, then this camera is the best choice!
Trick Photography 101 I think a tilt screen is really helpful for vloging :)
which one should i buy l830 or l840 pls suggest
L840
I have a couple of questions for anyone who will answer...
How long of a video does this camera take?
I have the Nikon Coolpix L26 and it has over 15 different settings (Close up, snow, inside, ect.) and I was wondering if anyone who has this camera knows if the Nikon Coolpix L830 has the same settings?
The l830 hold videos up too 30 minutes :)
Hi I have a question... Does this camera auto focus? Example, if I wanted to film a makeup tutorial video and focus on my eyes, would it auto focus and zoom into it? I'll wait for your answer asap. Thank you.
Yes, it has auto focus. www.amazon.com/dp/B00HQ4W3OE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=13P66NC53SJAQ&coliid=I2LHVODYUAFE8W&psc=1 look at the Question and Answer portion at the bottom.(:
Thank you. :-D
It will also depend if you want a close up autofocus on your subject (e.g your eye). You might want to test out the camera the cam at a shop on macro shooting. Nikon specified it at 1 cm minimum focusing distance.

idk what you are talking about, quality looks amazing for the price point.
I have the L830 and its better than expected for the money.

Can take some sick sky pictures. It has a Nikon strap which looks pretty cool to me
