It is complete junk! I bought this camera when my L120 died. It seemed like I was getting an upgrade with this model, but not so. This camera renders color horribly and requires heavy edits no matter which settings I choose. About half of the photos come out blurry or grainy so I have to take 4x as many pictures to ensure that I get one usable shot. I use the camera primarily for business and have had to invest many hours a week fine-tuning my photos to get everything right. For years Nikon has provided me with affordable options for cameras that improve my business, but it seems like the quality of their products has gone downhill.UPDATE 10/3/15 This is the WORST camera I have ever purchased. It takes horrible pictures and costs my small clothing business money every day because my pictures are just garbage and I can't afford to put out the money for a new one. The pictures are dark even with the exposure turned all the way up and if you use the flash the photos are green, blue or pink. I know how to use the lighting settings. This camera model is DEFECTIVE and I have no recourse. AWFUL! Thank you for your feedback Sorry, there was an error Sorry we couldn't load the review
Top reviews from the United StatesThere was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2015 This seems to be a very decent camera though it did seem like it had been rewrapped or repackaged in a fairly unsealed box. It apparently is okay, however, and has no blemishes or defects. I own a lot of digital cameras and my wife nearly killed me dead for buying another one. I have everything from el cheapos to tiny ones, to two Canon SLRs. Before I retired I was a photographer for thirty years plus with film cameras, mostly Minoltas and Ricoh. The main thing about any camera is the lens size and quality. There is a mathematical formula called Dawe's limit which involves lens size and resolution. Resolution is nlt magnification. Resolution is the ability to separate two close points. The higher the resolution, the closer the points can be and still be separated. This is why astronomical telescopes have to be so huge. The magnification of these telescopes, if they aqre located on the earth's surface, is limited to something below 1000x in linear magnification (not area). Assuming that the lenses are of similar quality, you are never, never, never going to get as good a picture with you tablet as with a camera with even a reasonably sized lengs. To give an example of resolution before moving on: you have pocket size binoculars thaqt give you ten times linear magnification and they are convenient and fine. If you take a ten power binocular with a fifty millimeter lens, however, you will immediately see the difference in image sharpness and crispness and ability to see detail. I have a nine power binocular with sixty three millimeter lenses which I took to aq bay along with a ten power fifty millimeter pair. Despite being a power less than the ten power, the sixty three millimeter lenses of the bigger binocular allow me to see individual lumps of coal on a coal barge moored four miles away. The smaller, ten power pair, did not show individual lumps and a pocket ten power pair would have revealed far less at that distance. This is resolution. This camera has a fairly decent lens if you want good photos. It has over 20 mp which is more than enough if the sensor is of decent size. To understand this, you have to understand that the CCD, the sensor that takes the place of film, has a certain size. A twenty megapixel lens might not be all that great if the actually sensor is only the size of your little fingernail. It is like film size in film cameras. You may have the same resolution film in both cameras but you will get a heck of a lot better large print from a thirty five millimeter camera than from a little spy camera or 8mm film. Size does matter both with film and sensor size and with lens diameter. They should really standardize cameras to the thirty five millimeter frame size and give you some number based on both sensor size and megapixels but they don't. Given your choice--bigger is far better. This thing takes for triple A batteries by the way and they come included though one of mine had popped out of the packing. I would recommend this camera and it will probably serve you better than a tiny point and shoot model. It is not very large or bulky at all so don't expect to get something like a full size or even a compact SLR> Happy shooting. 10 people found this helpful Report Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2016 I bought this camera almost a year ago, and so far, have not done much with it other than some test shots. Prior to buying, one reviewer said she could get 960 shots before changing batteries, and while some people don't like the fact that it uses AA batteries, that was actually a factor that caused me to get this camera. Who wants a specific re-chargeable battery pack that might be discontinued at some point? Not me. Just change out 4 AA batteries and toss the old ones in nearest trash can. I have not noticed any delay in auto-focus. I still have original batteries in camera, as I have not used it much, the internal clock keeps pretty good time. It came with a usb cord to attach to computer, which is still in the box, but I removed the memory card, put into my little Kodak, and attached to computer, no problems up-loading photos, which were sharp enough to cut your eyes! I took some shots in small room at night with only a small lamp on, without flash, and then repeated the shot with flash, and there was very little to no difference, both were sharp. I was amazed at the lighting and sharpness with no flash, indoors at night. I have taken some very sharp outdoor shots from patio, with no flash in bright daylight, which came out fantastic. Prior to this camera, I had 2 little Kodaks, which still work great, one of which is a 7.1 megapixel, which I have had shots made into 24 x 36 posters, and came out beautifully. Some of the reviewers on here probably got defective duds, hence the reviews they left, but I definitely think this is worth the money. If you think the camera strap will break, keep a tighter grip on the camera! Several reviewers mentioned blurry shots with zoom, but another reviewer was dead-on when he said you have to use a tripod or brace against tree or rail. A free hand using zoom will give you a blurry shot with most any camera! I have not noticed that the batteries drain quickly, my 2 Kodaks that only use 2 AA batteries each have decent battery life with average Duracell or Energizer. I have not used my camera on a moving subject, so I will defer to reviewers who say this model is not the best for action or sports, but for any type of stills, indoor, outdoor, various lighting conditions, you can't go wrong with this one. Right after my first review, I played around with the zoom outdoors, and I did indeed see what other reviewers meant about the auto focus taking a few seconds. However, you need a tripod or other way to steady the camera for zoom, otherwise your shots will blur every time. 5 seconds to wait for auto focus is not going to kill me. This is probably not best camera for sports or fast action, but if you don't need it for that, then this one is great. 16 people found this helpful Report Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2015 I have been Looking for a step up camera from the Kodak Easy Shots. I have two of them. This is more professional looking. It was a damaged box sale. But the camera had been tested and repackaged. It arrive fast and in excellent condition. Looks great, feels good. I was immediately impressed with the big ole view screen. Crystal clear. I bought a 16gig card for it and on mid range it's show 5,000 pictures storage. I'm 63 don't think I've taken that many in my life. Crisp clean pictures. I sell Custom cars and use a laser printer to make catalogs of my cars. The pictures un-touched using the auto setting on the camera look better than reality. With all the self filtering it does. As I learn more I'll add to this review. But It came Thursday and it's better today Saturday than it was then. Oh get the new nicad no memory batteries, or go lithum. It deserves them. May 12, Update: I've made a couple of trips searching for classic cars. I have been using the Kodak Easy Shot I think. Been using two of them for nearly 10 yrs. I cannot remember their names now.... This camera has made me for even their names. It's better than I thought. 5 people found this helpful Report Top reviews from other countries4.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars Reviewed in India on August 30, 2018 One person found this helpful Report 5.0 out of 5 stars Cámara de muy buena calidad Reviewed in Spain on October 20, 2015 Una cámara de muy buena calidad por poco dinero. Muy sencilla de utilizar pero el manual de instrucciones no esta en español. 5.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Was Looking For Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2015 Decided to purchase this as an upgrade to my little Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S650 ... I didn't want the physical bulk or complexity of an SLR but did want something with a bit more resolution than the Sony; After a bit of internet research I decided the Nikon L330 seemed to fit the bill. The camera arrived on time and the packaging offered excellent protection. I have used this camera for a few days now, and overall, I am quite happy with it. It's very simple to operate; I was taking photographs within a minute or two of inserting the supplied AA batteries and switching on. The display is crystal clear and can be set bright enough to be viewed in bright sunlight. The various control buttons are positioned logically, and (for average sized me) are easy to operate. The option menus are also logical and easy to navigate; Basically, if you've used any kind of digital camera at all, then operating the L330 will pose no problems. Eg: If you set the camera to 'Easy Auto' mode operation is as simple as point and click (I suspect I'll be using this mode a lot). The camera feels solid and well built, though I suspect it wouldn't survive an accidental drop onto concrete (so don't drop it). Not really mentioned in the blurb, but you can set the camera to use NiMh rechargable or Lithium batteries if you don't like using the default AA alkaline batteries. I've been randomly taking photos for three days now and the supplied AA batteries are still going strong. Picture quality is superb, though some of the higher zoom images I took were a bit blurry. Probably more down to my shoddy technique than a fault of the camera. Macro mode works quite well, good if you like taking close ups of flowers and whatnot. |
