Everyone complaining about this cameras video quality obviously doesn't understand the concept of lighting ;) taking a video in your poorly lit room is obviously not gonna look good, or professional.
+Supreemee Dee Jeedi Just grabbed mine for $99 for my daughter who's 14 and an aspiring photographer. :) Hoping it will be a good "starter" camera until I think she's ready for a DSLR. It's surely an upgrade from her cell phone.
+Supreemee Dee Jeedi Actually Target has it on sale today, Wednesday, for the same Black Friday Price. However, who really wants to view their photos by using a cord and hooking up to a monitor only? There's no Wifi and no card slot. Also, If you read the 'not so good reviews" at Nikon ppl are claiming to have serious focus issues even on the next model up, the full l1080 Hp Nikon L840.
Such an awesome camera! Does what it says and is so simple to use. Definitely good for beginners and the zoom is great! Not into videos so the lack of a full HD recording is no biggy. If you need a simple and affordable name brand camera then this is the one for you!
I bought this camera at a pawn shop for $55 and it works great taking pictures and video. Some people need the top of the line equiptment but for the novice and beginner vlogger it will give them hours of quality use. If you have great content and are able to hold your audience, the cameras ability wont even come up in the conversation.
Just got one. Well, the images at low light conditions easily get extremely shaky, also it´s really upsetting that it isn´t able to shoot in manual, since It could be the solution to many problems. Although the zoom is verry good and for street photography it`ll do. I`ve recently been shooting in Black And White mode and adding/taking exposure and the results were pretty good
My wife got an L340, I find myself using it a lot for stills. It is just so easy and convenient. I use an HD action camera when I want HD video for the smaller size. I mainly use the L340 for family shots and going to the park where the zoom shines.
i got this camera brand new at the pawn shop for 79 bucks soooo if they video suck like everyone say it do then i wasn't out much money plus it beats using my phone 👌
I just bought a Nikon D3400 with a 70-300 mm lens. Imagine my surprise when the reach of the Nikon Coolpix L340 (28x ) was SUPERIOR to the reach of the 70-300 mm lens! Very disappointed with the the Nikon D3400, even with the 70-300 mm lens.
thank u I just seen that the Nikon l340 was going on the black Friday deals this year and was thinking about doing youtube videos with it. this just helped to now that I need to look for a different one.
Do you think this would be a good beginner camera for a 12 year old? My daughter wanted to take basic video and pictures for School trips, Family Gatherings, etc. This would be her first camera, no advanced features needed yet.
it comes with memory card, or purchase separately? Please answer me, do not think anything about it anywhere. And it came, how many gb have? Thank you in advance!
I got one of these cameras for Christmas and I haven't had a problem that everyone in the comment section is talking about. This is coming for someone who takes pictures everyday. It isn't the camera you own its how well you can take the picture and what conditions you have.
My daughter wants to get into photography, would you recommend this camera? If not, what would you recommend in the $200 dollar range as a starter camera?
I want to buy a camera but its My first camera i'm only 15 and I just want a camera for better quality pics for on trips and holidays and pics with friends should I buy it? Please respond someone🙏🏼
+Muhammad Bilal I have one and I would definitely recommend it for pictures! Not the best quality for videos but I honestly really like the picture quality
GUYS PLEASE LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i bought this camera and i first i thought i made a mistake no!!!!!! you just need good lighting and good hd videos come out i use natural lighting from the sun - want proof go on my channel and look at my april favourites fail!!! and i use the nikon l340 camera for it make sure to click 720p to get best results also i live in the uk where it is always rainy but even when its cloudy my videos still turn out good - DONT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!
I was greatly disappointed by this camera. But I did only pay around $80 for it so I wasn't that mad. Don't expect DSLR quality action shots. I just wish i could change shutter speed and what not.
Bought my L340 a week or so ago. I vary rarely use video, so the comments regarding that don't bother me - I bought it for producing good quality 7"x5" photo greeting cards to sell, and am very pleased with it. One moan though - I find it very tricky closing the lid on the battery/card chamber. Opening is OK-ish, but closing feels clumsy and I worry that the hinge might be easily broken. Is there some special knack to closing it smoothly? If so, I've not mastered that yet. It matters to me because I tend to take out my SD card more often than some users might.
I got this camera as a gift for Christmas, was a bit disappointed with not being able to control the shutter speed, the iso etc but other than that I think that it's a good camera and have definitely taken some real nice photos with it
hello man i am from colombia i just bought that camera but i can not take panoramic pics.do u have the same problem? if you dont, do u know how can i take these types of pics ?? thanks
I like this camera, but I am hesitating to buy it, just because AA batteries. Can you suggest the alternatives working on lithium-ion battery(I hope I am explaining correctly)?
Just bought this camera off of amazon prime and should arrive tomorrow. Going to the Grand Canyon this summer and looking forward to the exiting pics i'll get! :)
is this a good camera for night hiking? in June I'm hiking a mountain and it's to see the stars and sky "change colors" so I need a camera and idk if I should get this or not. HELP PLEASE.
We bought this for $99 on sale during black friday so it was a steal. Wish it had a self timer. The flash has a timer but why if I can't run and get in the pic. Very sensitive if you or your subject slightly moves during shutter shooting, pics up the movements in real time. Kind cool if your looking for special effects, but not for clarity. I'll give an 8/10. If I paid full price I'd return it for and HD1080 and less sensitive model.
I was just about to buy it because I want to start a RUclips chanel but just read that it doesn't work very well with videos... Is there a camara that has nice quality with videos but is in the same price range?
Hi. I am planing to make a short movie. i have no idea which camera is better. with this camera can i make a good quality video? did this camera have attach mic facility available? i like this camera because of this under my budget. Can you pls help with your Honorable advice. Thank you
I do a lot of digital art and was planning on playing with the images in software like Corel painter and Photoshop. Would this be a good camera for that purpose?
Hoping to make the yearbook committee at my school, and we have to supply our own cameras. All I have is a Pentax istD from 2003 that was my aunts, and then my mom's. We don't even know if it works, do you recommend this for a beginner
Hi, i might buy this camera for a hobby of mine, which is filming air raid sirens. would you reccomend this for zooming in on an air raid siren and recording it? i will also use it for photograhpy
Anyone know why every time I take a pic with this the camera refocuses and loses the original focus I have set? Also why does it take so long to actually take the pic
do I really need 1080p camera for video cause this is the new level from my 1080p phone and would it be good for u know making skits and blogs as a beginner
I bought this camera a day ago.. not the best but its pretty good.. you can take night shots with the flash on it it will look good. You will need natural sunlight to take nice pics. Worth the $179 though.
Nope, there is none of that. The lens can not be taken off, and it's just a basic camera. Can't do anything special like that, just point and shoot. There are also no audio mics for this camera either.
I got this as a beginner photographer and it's brilliant for a starter like me
John Butler thank you that's what I was looking for
Cadence Brooke me too
Gadget's Technology me too
John Butler haha me too bro
John Butler that's why I'm getting it to get my photography skills up doesn't hurt Got to start somewhere right
Everyone complaining about this cameras video quality obviously doesn't understand the concept of lighting ;) taking a video in your poorly lit room is obviously not gonna look good, or professional.

Buying one for 60$ today I'm pretty happy about this review thanks man!
I got it this weekend, great camera! It's my first camera and I saved up for it and I was really excited and already took some great pictures!
Target will be having this camera on Black Friday for $99

+Supreemee Dee Jeedi , it is advertised as having HD video. i am wondering if the camera has been upgraded since this review. . .
+smokeybear740 i was looking at new ones today and they are still only at 720p

Just picked up one of these brand new for 20$ at my local swap meet, thanks for the helpful information.
I got this for Christmas today and I’m loving it.
Is it still worth buying?
Costing me around $150..... or any other suggestions?
Nikon Coolpix L340 or nikon s7000, which one will take the better pictures?
Just bought this for $99 for black Friday! I'm impressed with it so far
Do bridge camera's in general have good shutter speed? What kind of camera has best quality pictures, bridge cameras or compact digital cameras?
hey Karl, what camera did you use in this video? (I'm not referring to the one youre reviewing lol)
I was going to get this camera for filming but thanks to your review I will go with a different camera! Thanks Very Helpful!
Do you think this equivalent or better than the L310?
I was greatly disappointed by this camera. But I did only pay around $80 for it so I wasn't that mad. Don't expect DSLR quality action shots. I just wish i could change shutter speed and what not.
Picked this up in Vegas as a backup camera. Good point and shoot. Good for just taking basic pictures. Paid $175 at Target. Good value.
Tremendous value for the money - it's now going for around $50 and for that price, you can't go wrong.
what good is it if you can't control the shutter and white balance .
Bought my L340 a week or so ago. I vary rarely use video, so the comments regarding that don't bother me - I bought it for producing good quality 7"x5" photo greeting cards to sell, and am very pleased with it.

Would you recommend this for a beginner ?
Should i get this or the canon powershot sx410 IS?
what do you want to do

Sooooo what's the best camera in this segment for both pics and videos recording.
I like this camera, but I am hesitating to buy it, just because AA batteries. Can you suggest the alternatives working on lithium-ion battery(I hope I am explaining correctly)?
Do you know if this camera model can transfer the pictures you take on it to the Nikon app from your phone?
What kind of camera are you using to film this current video?
Is $99 worth it for this?
How much?
Just bought this camera off of amazon prime and should arrive tomorrow. Going to the Grand Canyon this summer and looking forward to the exiting pics i'll get! :)

Hey :) it actually does have a timer! Just play with the buttons. It was tricky to find at first but it's definitely there :)
I was just about to buy it because I want to start a RUclips chanel but just read that it doesn't work very well with videos... Is there a camara that has nice quality with videos but is in the same price range?

Best deal in Target :) Picked up mine and so far its good The only issue is in low lighting settings makes it hard to auto focus
i love this camera
Which camera did u used to record your face with?
Actually you CAN change the ISO. The lowest is ISO 80.
Any idea what the quality would be for pictures inside a gym taking pictures at a basketball game? I just need an easy camera for my kids sports.
Anyone know why every time I take a pic with this the camera refocuses and loses the original focus I have set? Also why does it take so long to actually take the pic
Do you think that it would be Good for an entry level vloger
What camera do you recommend instead of this?
Is it worth buying a mic for it or is the built in on ok
Bought the camera a day ago and seems like the zoom toggle was a bit shaky.. can someone help me to fix the zoom toggle?

Nikond5200
On a regular picture for just taking a picture with friends would it have the dslr blurry look? Help!
can you take the lens off? i want this camera but i might get another lens for it if it comes off.
I bought this camera a day ago.. not the best but its pretty good.. you can take night shots with the flash on it it will look good. You will need natural sunlight to take nice pics. Worth the $179 though.
Hi.. Is there any extra gadgets that I can get for L340, Like extra lens, Extra microphone.. etc
Nope, there is none of that. The lens can not be taken off, and it's just a basic camera. Can't do anything special like that, just point and shoot. There are also no audio mics for this camera either.
Thank you ☺
awesome review...you should work for Nikon, or Sony, or ?? cuz I'm considering this camera, didn't know it wasn't 1080 HD videothanks !!
what camera you used to made your video ,its very clear
does the screen come out? Where you will be able to see your self while making the video?
+Mckenna Calderon it doesn't come out, so you can't see yourself while recording.
Its on Amazon México for $139 dlls, but i see the video sucks. You Recomended?
Great for car/ bike shows and rolling shots once you get use to it
What kind of manual focus lens can I buy for this camera?
