Camera Overview — Nikon Coolpix L610

The Nikon COOLPIX L610 is a 16MP point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 1/2.3-inch sensor and a fixed LCD display. It targets everyday shooters who want a simple, accessible camera without the complexity of interchangeable lenses. The camera outputs images at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels and supports a range of color profiles including Standard, Vivid, Black and White, Sepia, Cyanotype, High Key, Low Key, and Selective Color — giving users meaningful creative flexibility straight out of the box.

Optical image stabilization (OIS) helps reduce camera shake during handheld shooting. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with 9 focus points, face detection AF, and subject tracking, making it straightforward to keep moving subjects sharp. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps in 8-bit Standard color.

The 3.0-inch fixed LCD with 460,000 dots serves as the primary composition and review tool, as no viewfinder is present. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. The camera runs on 2x AA batteries — alkaline, lithium, or Ni-MH — with an approximate CIPA-rated 120 shots per charge using alkaline cells.

The plastic body measures 108 x 69 x 34 mm and weighs 240g, making it genuinely pocketable for travel and casual use.
