Nikon COOLPIX L32 Digital Camera with 5x Wide-Angle NIKKOR Zoom Lens

Great Camera = Outstanding quality photos and videos!!I had the Cool Pix L24 for about 3 years and loved it! I had no problems with it whatsoever. About 4 weeks ago I accidently dropped it and the battery latch snapped off. Since I couldn't close the compartment and duct tape didn't work I decided to get the Cool Pix L32. I love this camera as much if not better. A major improvement for me is having the video button on the console. With the L24 I had to press a couple of buttons and go up/down on the menu and then press start. This is a nice feature! There are some additional beneficial features that make this a must have quality camera as it is easy to use, works great, and is fun to use.I did read other comments about the battery compartment door but the caveat on that is you must be careful when opening and closing it. Just like anything with digital and electrical components you have to handle with care and also keep out of extreme heat and cold.Also, the NX2 software still works! All I had to do was attach the compatible Nikon cable I had with the L24 and connect it to the L32 and to my computer. This synchronized the L32 with my computer and NX2. After I did this all of my photos and videos were then transferable from the L32 and the card reader.Working with the NX2 software is pretty easy but you have to take time and most of all read the HELP files at the top of the screen. This helped me tremendously because at first I didn't understand why the images from my card reader weren't showing up on the main screen in NX2 on my computer.WARRANTY - A Warranty paper is inside my camera box that includes the serial number and model number of the camera and can register it online at www.nikonuse.com/register. I received this camera 7/3/2015 and on the paper inside it reads, "Registration not required for warranty coverage." "You must present this form together with Proof of purchase and proof of purchase date (Bill of Sale to obtain warranty service. This Nikon product is warranted by Nikon Inc. to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase."My Coolpix L32 Nikon I just bought and received comes with a Nikon one (1) year warranty.I am very happy with this camera and it is a great price with tremendous value! If I hadn't dropped my L24 I would still be using it but the good thing is I have the most up to date Cool Pix camera now. I give this little but quality and powerful camera my highest recommendation! The audio is awesome too!

First let me say that it is becoming harder and harder to find good quality cameras at a reasonable price. Lately I find cameras like this one that are either inexpensive and of bad quality or great quality but very expensive. This camera falls in a vanishing category of great quality at a reasonable price. This camera will take high quality pictures at 20.1 mega pixels and it is important to note that the zoom is optical which means that you will not give up any of the resolution when you zoom in. If your goal is to get the best quality you can get, and this camera does not make you happy, you will have to move to professional cameras that have detachable lenses and you are looking at many times the price.But here is something that you will not like and the only reason I gave it 4 stars. The world is moving fast to 4K video resolution but unfortunately this camera cannot even do 1080p recording. Considering that most cell phones today have 1080p video recording capabilities, you would think that a device that all it does is camera functions, would at least have the ability to record 1080p video. If you are looking for a quality camera that is easy to use and you want it to last, this camera is highly recommended. But be sure first that you just need a camera for pictures and not for video. This may be the reason why these cameras are at the brink of extinction, they are great picture cameras but our mobile devices have spoiled us so much that we do not want just a picture camera any longer. When we consider buying a camera, we do it because we want something better than what we already have in our pocket and that usually means that we are looking for optical zoom and quality lenses with quality video capabilities.If you are still interested in this camera, here are some things that you may want to know:1) It has a big 3" screen that is easy to see and use.2) Operation is very simple and the menus are easy to figure out without having to read a manual.3) It uses 2 AA batteries that you can buy everywhere. I had cameras with rechargeable batteries that go dead if I do not use the camera for a few months or their charger is proprietary and when it is broken or lost, it costs a lot to replace it. I love the simplicity of just putting 2 new commonly used batteries and be good to go.4) It takes the full size SD memory card which means that you can just put in an adapter (many micro SD cards come with a free adapter) and turn it to a micro SD card while you will not have to throw away your old full size cards.As for durability, we use cameras for the nursing staff to take pictures of patients and enter them to our electronic health record (EHR) software. We also use them for employee badges. Although we do not need high resolution pictures for these functions, when we get the less expensive cameras, they do not last for more than a few months. I always find them dead or the battery compartment door broken and held by rubber bands. So I have been replacing those $30.00 to $50.00 cameras with the Coolpix L32 and I do not have any problems anymore.Note that this camera does not come with a USB cable and it has a non standard connector. You can either use a USB card reader like this one Rocketek 11 in 1 USB 3.0 Memory Card Reader, or you can buy the USB cable here, Replacement Nikon Coolpix L32 Digital Camera USB Cable 5' USB Data cable - (8 Pin), which costs less than 5 bucks at the time of this review.

This camera is super easy to just bring everywhere and the picture quality is exactly what I was looking for. It has the film look with the option to add the date timestamp to the bottom of the picture. I received it refurbished and it was perfect for my needs

I ordered this for my daughter as every time we go shopping she asks me to buy her a camera. So when her birthday came up I thought it would be a wonderful starter camera for her.It arrived unmanaged and is a slick little point and shoot camera. She really likes how small it is and the photos come out extremely crisp.She doesn't know much about photography yet but when I see the images she been taking I can see she's been watching me closely.I played with this little camera and am impressed with it. When I first played with it I was shocked how light it was, as I'm used to my DSLR. Adjusting the settings on it was a learning curve for me as again I have a Canon DSLR that I use regularly. I don't have anything negative to say about this little camera and my daughter absolutely loves it so that's what matters.
