The Nikon COOLPIX L32 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built for simplicity and portability. Its 20MP sensor captures images at up to 5152x3864 pixels on a 1/2.3-inch sensor, while the ISO 80–1600 range handles a variety of everyday lighting situations.

For video, the L32 shoots at 720p / 30fps, covering casual day-to-day moments. Storage is flexible thanks to support for SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards.
