Nikon Coolpix L840 Review

 

Ben Andrews reviews the Nikon Coolpix L840, an ultra zoom camera with a 38x optical zoom lens and built in Wi-Fi.

Easy to use ; Relatively compact in class ; Tiltable, high-res screen ; Snap-back zoom feature ; Full HD video recording ; Built-in Wi-Fi with NFC

Relatively high RRP ; Competitors offer more zoom for the money ; Image quality nothing special ; Uses AA batteries ; Screen not touch-sensitive ; No electronic viewfinder

There’s no doubt that the Nikon Coolpix L840 is a very easy camera to use and produces pleasing photos. Wi-Fi connectivity with NFC pairing is a welcome upgrade from the L830, and the increased zoom reach adds extra versatility. But is this enough?

Nikon Coolpix L840 Review

 

The Nikon Coolpix L840 replaces last year's Coolpix L830, but sticks to the same recipe of offering a chunky bridge camera design with a relatively large optical zoom range for modest money.

The Nikon Coolpix L840 is a decent all-rounder that performs well and generates reasonable image quality, providing you don’t scrutinise too closely and spot the slightly disappointing detail levels. It’s fast to focus, exposes accurately and has a...

Nikon Coolpix L840

 

Stunningly clear photos at great distances and close up, even when used by a total amateur. Shows you on screen what it is focusing on. Screen tilts for overhead shots. Fast response time. Pretty much point and shoot, although you can change settings...

Remembering flash is not automatic, you have to flip it up. But this also gives you easy control.
