ALL-PURPOSE SHOOTER
Everybody with a smartphone can snap photos, but the image quality they can produce is still quite limited compared to a good dedicated camera. If you want something that has way more power than your camera phone, but is just as easy to use and share pictures with, the Nikon COOLPIX L830 could be the right option for you. It features a 34x optical zoom, 68x Dynamic Fine Zoom and allows macro shooting as close as approximately 1cm. Nikon COOLPIX L830 can also take pictures and HD videos easily from various angles, in great quality, because this camera has a combination of lens-shift and electronic vibration reduction (VR). The high-performance VR function, together with an easy-to-hold grip and side zoom control, means shaky photos should be a thing of the past. The camera also features Target Finding autofocus, image-editing functions, an Intelligent Auto Mode and a Smart Portrait System. Completed with a high-power zoom NIKKOR lens, it’s amazing that this heavy-duty camera comes so compact and weighs just 500g.
