Review and operation of the NIKON Coolpix L120 Black digital camera

Review and operation of the NIKON Coolpix L120 Black digital camera

In 2011, a wedding happened in our life. And since I've been wanting a more or less decent camera for a very long time, we decided: there's no better reason, especially since we were going to go on vacation in the near future.

Taking the donated money, we went to the hardware store. There I chose this model at random: Nikon Coolpix L120, at that time it was one of the latest models. Well, I liked the look of it: it looks like such a big one, not really a soap dish, not cheap at the price, but also quite affordable. I thought it would serve well.

With the advent of a DSLR in the house, I completely stopped using this camera, and now it just lies in the closet. I even wanted to sell it once so that it wouldn't lie idle, but after consulting with my husband, we decided to leave it, because you can't get a lot of money for it, and it's kind of a pity to give away an excellent device for 3-4 thousand. Plus the memory of the wedding, the first trip together.

And today I picked it up again, inserted a USB flash drive and batteries, especially for my beloved Irek. And we went to test outside, in natural light, with our beloved dogs. The quality is super! Even at the maximum zoom value.

But I actually had no complaints about natural lighting. It's a completely different story with artificial and just weak lighting. There are already some disadvantages coming out,

As promised, I will tell you how to take pictures with a slightly blurry background using this camera. Of course, it will not be possible to achieve the effect of a DSLR with a 50mm lens, but we can still focus a little on the object.

The diaphragm is responsible for the beautiful bokeh effect, the more it is open, the more blurry the background we get at the output. But, since we cannot manually adjust the aperture value on this camera, we will have to use the modes that are available. In theory, Portrait mode could open the aperture, but in practice I did it better with Macro mode.

I have been using the camera for 2.5 years. To say that this is just a good camera is to say nothing! I can't help but mention the super zoom (as much as 21x!) and the excellent macro mode. In addition to macro photography, I really liked the modes "Fireworks", "Sunset", "Twilight/Dawn", "Food" and panorama mode. The flash is great. Your attention is provided with several photos taken by me on this camera model. Photos without any processing. The camera is not heavy, it "sits" comfortably in the hand. Easy to use. In my opinion, the camera fully justifies its price. As for the disadvantages, first of all it should be said that fast movements are blurred, and the quality of pictures taken at night is not pleasing. In general, I think that this camera model is a great option for novice photographers.

I received this camera as a gift from my mother 2 years ago.

I liked it, you can take good pictures if you try. Comfortable, not heavy. There is a built-in flash. Good optical zoom of 21x.

I am not a professional, I take pictures only for myself, so my opinion is subjective. Good for macro shooting. Portraits are also good, but landscapes are not very good at me. Hook hands.

Requires good lighting.

There is a video mode, I don't use it, I can't say anything about it.

Powered by 4 AA batteries. It sits down quickly, it is written in the characteristics that it should be enough for 330 shots, in fact – about 200 shots. Maybe I have low-quality batteries.

It's good that there is a protective cover on the lens. Dust, dirt, moisture are not terrible. The lens should only be wiped with a special cloth so as not to damage it.

Anyone can easily figure it out, everything is very simple.

I wrote that I may have low-quality batteries, so, the thing is that I chose the wrong type of battery in the settings.

If you also have batteries like me (they can be recharged), then you need to select COOLPIX (Ni-MH) battery type in the settings. The thing is that batteries have a voltage = 1.2, and alkaline and lithium batteries have 1.5. I hope this information will be useful to someone.

I bought this camera when the kids played with the old one. For some reason, in svyaznoy it cost 5000 rubles cheaper than black, but that was two years ago. My husband immediately appreciated its size and photographed everything. The photos turn out great, but for me its size turned out to be a minus. You can't put it in a woman's purse, and it's a little heavy in my opinion. carrying it on your shoulder is not very convenient and does not add beauty. So I don't use it often. If you choose the right shooting mode, you will get wonderful photos. There is also an auto-tuning for those who do not want to mess around. A very good video shooting mode, especially if you put a flash card (its memory is very small). These are all his positive qualities. But another disadvantage I think is that there is no battery. You need to buy either expensive rechargeable batteries or often change alkaline ones. There is a switching mode between battery or alkaline). You need four pieces in total. By the way, we had enough batteries for a year and a half, with frequent recharges. In general, therefore, I do not feel much pleasure from photographing, unlike my husband, he is very happy with the device and always carries it around his neck, probably feels like a photographer. I'll get a smaller one when I sell this one.

I want to take pictures of everything and everywhere with a good camera. We bought the Nikon Coolpix L120 a year and a half ago, chose carefully, compared many parameters, eventually settled on this camera, seemed the most optimal and did not regret it at all. The device is decent, I will not rewrite the factory specifications, you will read it on Yandex, I will tell you about my impressions.

I am completely satisfied with the quality of the pictures, a good video, at first the child was filmed on it while there was no camera, the sound is clear, even on the street with a slight wind.

The camera is not heavy, not bulky, it fits very comfortably in your hand, it is quite easy to operate, a clear menu, almost all settings are automatic, there are many modes for both day and night shooting and various functions, for example, it can warn that someone has closed their eyes or takes pictures automatically, reacting to a smile.

We take it everywhere with us, especially on vacation, various events, children's matinees, almost all photos turn out to be of high quality, even with a large approximation, shooting in the distance or in motion. And if you shoot close, you can generally see every hair on your head.

The colors all turn out to be real. Basically, we use a simple auto mode, always with a flash in the room, without it it will not be quite clear. You just need to get used to it a little bit, then you immediately know in what situation how best to shoot.

Of course, when buying it is better to take a flash drive right away (there is not enough memory in it, and the photos are larger than 5 MB) and rechargeable batteries, since you won't take pictures for a long time on simple ones, especially with a flash.

In general, there are a lot of advantages in it, I have not found any disadvantages in a year and a half. Unless the lens cap needs to be removed manually, an automatic shutter could be attached. Well, this is already the case, with fat, of course, it does not spoil it.

I attach several photos taken in different conditions (in motion, outdoors, indoors), it's a pity that the site compresses them, but the quality can still be evaluated.

Acquired Nikon L120 in the summer of 2011. I had to change my old Olympus. There was no point in changing it to an ordinary small soap dish, so the choice fell on the Nikon superzum line. The number of Mp - 14.1 and 21x zoom at first conquered me, but this is only at first. The photos are very "noisy", only the AUTO mode is more or less. If you do not pay attention to the noise of the photo, then you can give them a rating of "good". The color rendering is quite good. If you shoot moving objects, then the "Animals" mode will help you. The photos are clear. The video (unlike the photo) impressed me. I filmed a matinee with a child in the garden, everything is clear, the faces do not float, the sound is perfectly written. 21x zoom is an indispensable thing when shooting videos! The big drawback is the batteries. It was possible to put a battery in such a device, and not mess around with 4 rechargeable batteries, which sit down very quickly.

We bought this camera a year ago. Initially, they wanted a mirror, but they were limited in finances. We chose for a long time and came to the decision to buy this Nikon.
What can I say after a year. The camera is excellent, it is the best in this class. A lot of settings, bright and clear pictures, the ability to shoot high-quality video with excellent sound. The camera itself is not heavy. The display is clear and large, i.e. you can watch photos before uploading to the computer. Not buggy, not even scratched anywhere, although it was not used carefully, because there are children. The pictures are excellent regardless of the time and place of shooting. I am pleased with the zoom and the possibility of macro photography. Of course, I am far from a professional, I take pictures out of pure curiosity. But I can say with confidence that this is the best digital camera. I tried a bunch of digital devices, which I just didn't have. So there is something to compare it with.

Great camera. Attached is a detailed photo of the camera itself. Nikon Coolpix L120 is an excellent camera. I'm not a photographer, and my hands are, to put it mildly, "from the wrong place," but even I get quite good photos. I use it with Samsung Pleomax 2700 batteries. I would not recommend using it with Cosmos 2700 mAh batteries. There are two ways to zoom in on a photo:you can turn the shooting button, or you can raise or lower the button on the lens.

The flash is easily opened by pressing a button next to which a lightning bolt is drawn.

There are three connectors in the department for connecting different devices: HDMI,A/V OUT, DC IN 5.0V.

For the A/V OUT connector, there is a cord included with which the camera can be connected to a computer.

The camera is powered by 4 batteries (I use Pleomax 2700 rechargeable batteries).There is also a memory card slot in the battery compartment.

Good day to everyone. The Nikon coolpix l120 camera is a great thing. Makes great juicy photos. A few years ago, a question arose in front of me that our family needs at least some kind, because children are growing up, and a photo is a memory.The Nikon Coolpix L120 digital camera has medium dimensions, which is very convenient.The Nikon Coolpix L120 is powered by four rechargeable batteries. When I shoot with a flash, the batteries run out quickly.There is its own strap for wearing around the neck. The lens cap is tied on a string, so it definitely won't get lost.

The video turns out to be good with a good loud sound.

Nikon Coolpix L120 has many different shooting modes: Auto Mode, Sport, Continuous, Intelligent Portrait, Simple Auto Mode, Pet Portrait, Panorama Shooting, Food, Museum, Fireworks, Black and White Copy, Rear Lighting, Macro, Night Landscape, Twilight/Dawn, Sunset, Snow, Portrait, Landscape, Night portrait, Holiday/Indoor, Beach. The fact is that the Nikon Coolpix L120 is incredibly easy and intuitive to use! Absolutely anyone can take pictures with this camera: a child, a girl who does not know how to use technology at all, at least someone! Everything is very, very clear! And the photos are beautiful! A 14-megapixel camera. In short, I advise you.

I'll start with the fact that I used a regular soap dish before buying. But after its breakdown, I wanted something better. For a very long time I chose a camera, studied the characteristics, read reviews on the Internet. And after much thought, I decided on the Nikon Coolpix L120. I was attracted by the very beautiful and neat design and characteristics, as well as the price of this equipment. I have been using the camera for about six months and it suits me perfectly. Wonderful color scheme-photos in nature are simply magnificent.It is very easy to use, there are almost no manual settings, but for me this is not a minus, since the proposed scenes are quite enough for me (portrait, landscape, night portrait, indoor holiday, beach, snow, sunset, twilight, dawn, night landscape, macro, food, museum, fireworks, black and white copy, rear lighting, panorama shooting, pet portrait).Most of all, I am pleased with the zoom in this camera. I was sitting far away at the concert and he served me practically with binoculars =). The only disadvantage of this camera is that in poor lighting, photos in most cases are not very clear, and sometimes quite bad. But for such a price, this device is just perfect. If you want clear photos at any time of the day and in any light, take a DSLR. I think this camera is the best in this price category. And also, if you want to try yourself in the art of photography, but are not sure if you will like it, whether you will do it further, take the Nikon Coolpix L120.

This is my first camera. I was looking forward to when I would buy it. On March 8, this miracle device was mine. I've been using it for two years now and I'm not a bit disappointed in it. I didn't expect such quality. I don't even know what to call it - it doesn't seem to be a "soap dish" anymore, but it's not a "mirror" yet.

Inexpensive price. (And now it has completely fallen)
A good zoom, the quality of the photo does not change when it is significantly approached.
Bright colorful colors.
Excellent video quality (HD: 1280 x 720)
Stylish design.
Charging lasts for a long time.(If you constantly take pictures and shoot videos all day, then by the end of the day the batteries run out, I use rechargeable batteries)
A good flash.

There are significantly fewer disadvantages. Although I think this is the problem of all non-professional cameras. The quality of the photo in the evening is not the same as in the afternoon. (If during the day the clarity and colorfulness of the photos are at a height, then the photos taken in the evening are no different from the photos of ordinary digital cameras). But I still recommend this camera, because for such a price it's just excellent quality.

Excellent Nikon Coolpix L120 Camera. A wonderful model! I think that it can be attributed to the best in its value. I have always used Olympus, but unfortunately it has already lived its 8 years, so it needs to be changed already.Good zoom, focusing, high-quality pictures come out on the street, clear. Shoots well in motion. The video quality is also pleasing with a resolution of 1280x720 clips, the HDMI format speaks for itself! There is a mode of smiling, continuous shooting, in several frames per second, and combining them into one best.In general, I recommend it to everyone! Use and enjoy!

Originally bought for the filming of my little just-born foal. I bought it for relatively little money in one store from the Eldorado chain.I was surprised by the small price of the camera. I decided right away-I'll take it! Very easy for a beginner to use. Just without any settings "click!" That's all. You can shoot continuously and for a very long time. Ideally, until your hands get tired. The color scheme is very realistic. It looks like a very neat and simple camera! In general, not only I am happy, but also all my friends, whose photos can no longer be photoshopped for long hours after shooting. And how my little foal comes out in the photo, you don't have to say, it's better to take a look for yourself!

It all started with the fact that I just wanted a digital without any problems there, but when I saw the photos taken with this camera, I just lit up to buy it. I bought it and am very happy. In nature, in sunny weather, these are not photos - these are pictures, it turns out so beautifully, in some you can't even distinguish from photos taken with a DSLR. Justifies the price in full. The only thing that usually takes pictures indoors is still much better on the street. Before this wonderful camera, I had a terrible camera, which has even less quality than an old phone. Nikon L120 Coolpix IS A COOL CAMERA! 21x zoom, 14.1 megapixels! For those who want high-quality, bright photos - this is a great option! There are many cool modes. This camera occupies an intermediate place between a DSLR and a soap dish, so it's great, buy it, you won't regret it. But in addition to the advantages, it has its drawbacks. For those who want to start more professionally engaged in photography, it is not suitable. There are very few manual settings, there are only the most basic ones, for example, White Balance, Sensitivity. Another drawback is that there is no charging. In order for the camera to function, 4 batteries are needed, which are quickly discharged and charge for a long time. But in general, the camera is not bad! I repeat once again, the quality is excellent, the photos are bright, colorful. For those who don't bother much when taking photos, THIS IS JUST THE PERFECT CAMERA!

In this model, I was attracted by the quality of photo shooting and the quality of video shooting. Compared to other analogues for the same price, this model is the best of all.

Advantages of this model:

1. Optical zoom 21x.
2. High-quality battery.
3. Good sound when recording video.
4. Convenient menu.
5. A huge number of functions.
6. Continuous shooting mode.
7. Powerful built-in flash.
8. It feels good in your hand.

The only thing I would like to advise you when buying is to immediately take an additional battery and a 32 gb USB flash drive. I really liked this camera, so I advise you, for such a price, why not take it, soap dishes are more expensive, but they are much inferior in quality.

Favorite Nikon Coolpix l120. I decided to buy a camera somehow, initially I wanted a DSLR, but there were some problems with finances, and I really wanted a camera now that I decided to buy not an ordinary soap dish, but something more substantial, since there was not enough for a DSLR. I sat on the Internet for a long time, read reviews, noticed nikon coolpix l120. The reviews are good, the design is wonderful. I liked the red one.

I want to emphasize the advantages of this camera: The appearance pleased. It is convenient to hold with one hand - it does not slip out. The display is excellent. There are many shooting modes provided for all occasions. I really like the photos that are obtained + zoom, the quality is equivalent to a DSLR! Full video. The macro mode of photos is impressive. All the little things of the smallest details are perfectly visible. 21x magnification with clear image stabilization. We were pleased with the lens cap and belt, which are included in the kit.

In my opinion, I consider only one drawback: there is no 2-second delay in shooting (it is very convenient when you shoot at a large zoom, so that you do not have to pull the camera for 10 seconds, which is not very convenient.

For a camera of its price class, the model is simply excellent. The photos are wonderful, deep, full-fledged with bright colors. The video is at a height, even with the smallest resolution (640:480), a high-quality video with stereo sound and a small weight in Mb is obtained. It is good to have such a camera for those who have small children, so that they can be easily and simply filmed, imprinted on memory.

I decided to buy a better camera than the little soap dish I had. I didn't choose for a long time, but I read a lot of reviews, compared several devices in this price category. It was obvious to me that this camera was winning. Bright screen, good zoom, 21x, macro shoots great (I love this business, the wide-angle lens also pleases. There are few manual settings, practically none, but this does not bother me. Preset "scenes" are enough. The device does not weigh very much, but of course it is more than small soap dishes, at least because of the fact that 4 batteries give weight. The kit does not include batteries and a memory card, so I had to buy separately both a bag and batteries with a charger and a memory card. There is HD video shooting, there is an HDMI output. I bought it quite recently, so I haven't tried all the possibilities yet. I am very happy about the purchase, everything suits me as an amateur. I consulted with a professional who said that it was a very good camera. There is a possibility to install ISO 80. I advise everyone!
