Camera Overview — Nikon Coolpix L830

The Nikon COOLPIX L830 is a point-and-shoot camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels. One of the camera's most practical selling points for everyday shooters is its use of 4x AA batteries, which means you can power it with readily available batteries anywhere in the world without hunting for a proprietary charger. The L830 features optical image stabilization (OIS) to help reduce the effects of camera shake during handheld shooting.

On the back, a 3.0-inch tilting TFT LCD with a sharp 921,000-dot resolution gives you flexible framing options, whether shooting from low angles or overhead. Video shooters will appreciate the 1080p recording capability, with frame rate options including 1920x1080 at 60i and 30p, as well as lower resolution modes for smaller file sizes. The burst mode reaches up to 6.7 frames per second, making it capable of capturing fast-moving subjects in a pinch.

ISO sensitivity spans from 125 to 1600. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the camera includes a built-in flash and USB connectivity. The camera has no weather sealing, so it's best kept away from wet or dusty environments.
