Description — Nikon Coolpix L120
The Nikon COOLPIX L120 is a 14MP point-and-shoot camera with a 1/2.3-inch sensor and Expeed C2 image processor. It captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4320x3240 pixels across five color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Black & White, Sepia, and Cyanotype — and supports a burst rate of up to 15.3fps. ISO flexibility spans 80 to 6400.
The sensor-shift (IBIS) system works to reduce the effects of camera shake in handheld scenarios. A 3.0-inch TFT LCD with anti-reflection coating and 921,000-dot resolution is the primary interface for shooting and playback — no separate viewfinder is included. Video recording is available at 720p / 30fps.
The camera outputs to external displays via Micro HDMI and also offers USB connectivity. Storage options include SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards plus built-in internal storage. Power comes from 4 x AA batteries in alkaline, lithium, or Ni-MH format.
The body measures 110 x 77 x 78mm and weighs 431g, constructed from plastic with metal elements and no weather sealing.
