hey there I'm Josh Goldman and this is a quick look at my cons budget-friendly mega zoom the coolpix l830 BSI CMOS sensor for better low-light images faster performance and full HD in slow motion movie capture a high-rise 3 inch LCD and of course the main feature the 30x zoom lens that goes from an ultra wide-angle 20 2.5 millimeters to 675 millimeters that is quite the range for the money and you get 2 ways to control it the usual zoom ring on front and another on the barrel now you can find smaller cameras with similar or more range but the bigger body allows for steadier control and double-a batteries which is a rarity these days also this camera is pretty much for auto shooting only so if you're looking for manual controls this isn't your camera but it also doesn't have is an electronic viewfinder so you have to rely on the LCD for frame near shots which isn't easy in bright conditions shooting performance is overall good for this class of camera but the autofocus definitely needs more time when the lens is extended or in low light or indoors so it's not the best choice for fast-moving kids and pets low-light photo quality while not great is better than other budget mega zooms but really this camera shines outdoors in good lighting so use it there and you'll get some very nice pictures and movies I'm Josh Goldman and that's the nikon coolpix
