Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Who says taking great photos and videos is hard work? Let the COOLPIX L610 with 14x optical zoom, do all the thinking as you capture 16.0-megapixel close-ups from telephoto distances or dramatic low-light images like you've never shot. Easy Auto Mode makes all the control decisions for you, so you can spend more time enjoying the moment and less time fussing with the camera. You won't even have to worry about charging—it runs on convenient AA batteries!
Zoom in on the action
14x telephoto zoom with Optical VR image stabilization
When the action starts, you want to catch it—sometimes from a safe distance. With the COOLPIX L610's powerful telephoto Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens, you can zoom in on your subject from amazingly far away. Extreme macro shots are just as easy. The COOLPIX L610 lets you get as close as 0.4-in. (1 cm) from your subject! And whether near or far, your photos and videos will be razor-sharp, thanks to built-in Optical VR image stabilization.
Catch great moments
Superior low-light performance
The COOLPIX L610 highly sensitive 16.0-megapixel CMOS sensor lets you shoot with confidence in the most challenging conditions. You'll create brilliant photos and Full HD (1080p) videos in nearly any lighting situation—indoors without a flash, during sunsets, on cloudy days, beside nighttime cityscapes and more. And when the action speeds up, no problem! The COOLPIX L610 has ultra-fast framing rates and can fire up to 1.9 shots per second (4 shots) for exciting action sequences. Target Finding AF ensures your subject is in focus in every frame.
Maximum results, minimum fuss
Onboard intelligence for easy success
When you're shooting fast action, you don't have time to fuss with camera settings. Luckily, the COOLPIX L610 can do all the work for you. Easy Auto Mode automatically detects what you're shooting and selects the best Scene Mode (from among 6) for the situation. For more challenging situations, choose one of the camera's 19 Scene Modes like Night Portrait, Night Landscape, Backlighting and more, and the COOLPIX L610 will make sure you get great results!
High definition videos with style
Some stories can only be told with a movie. When that moment happens, just touch the COOLPIX L610's movie record button and you'll instantly be recording in Full HD (1080p) with stereo sound.
Ready when you are
The COOLPIX L610 can run on two regular AA batteries, so a fresh set of batteries will never be far out of reach. It also accepts alkaline, lithium type and Nikon rechargeable batteries, available as an optional accessory.

Menu features are very simple to use, even if you don't bother to read any of the instructions that come with the camera. I have not used the movie feature extensively yet, so I have some learning to catch up on with respect to the sound recording level adjustments. However, the video was simple to use, and playback likewise was intuitive. By the way, we shot inside with available light, and the quality of the video was excellent! We really didn't take the time to do a decent test of the sound level, but what we did record was clear.
The package comes with a USB cable, and a video cable, a camera strap, and two AA batteries. There are plenty of accessories available, but I limited myself to a 16 GB SDHC card, a Case Logic camera case, and a set of four rechargeable batteries with charger. The price of the camera, plus the noted accessories was a total of nine dollars more than the lowest price for just the camera that I found anywhere else.
One final note: Nikon engineers have a home run with this camera. The ergonomics are first rate - for you Industrial Engineers out there, this model is a case study in human factors engineering. For the rest of us, this camera is at the perfect price point for new digital camera users, and is a welcome high quality addition to the more seasoned user's camera bag.
I received my camera from Amazon the same day my niece was having her 3rd birthday.
I didn't have time to test all features but I know to increase my ISO for indoors/low light conditions.
With that said, I prefer low ISO settings for sharp pictures and the camera's lowest ISO setting is 125.
My first pictures were taken under this setting and while they came out sharp, they were a bit dark.
I increased my ISO to 200 and WOW, pictures were perfect!.
With my old Canon (A540), I had to use ISO 400 for pictures to be barely viewable.
A day after, I had time to play around with different ISO settings and Scenes and found
ISO 400 also produces nice sharp pictures so I will use that setting on future indoor/low light conditions.
I recommend staying away from any pre-defined scene setting and use Auto with ISO setting 200-400 for indoors and ISO 125 for outdoors.
Additionally, get yourself a lithium battery and make sure to change the setting under the menu to reflect the battery in use.
I found using regular alkaline batteries, it would last around 40-50 shots and the flash takes some time to load.
With lithium battery, flash loads instantly between shots.
This camera is smaller than my previous Canon A540 and fits nicely on my jean front pockets.
Personally, I love the design and received many compliments. I'm not a fan of flat cameras.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and Amazon's delivery was prompt - as always.
Update: 12/28/2013
I'm not sure if the camera had dropped but I'm unable to fully close the battery compartment.
Now, I have to purchase a new camera just under one year of use. BTW, going back to Canon.
I understand I'm within the year warranty but I rather avoid the hassle.
Knocking down 2 stars (from 5 to 3) for lack of durability.
