On the camera itself, I have nothing to complain about.
Neither the red color (which is a nice looker in my opinion and visually much fancier), as well as to the material and processing.
It is hard and well in the hand and also for a beginner like me, operate the camera was easy to understand.
The buttons are clearly labeled and can be quickly and safely click during use, making the function also visible on the monitor.
When you open the flash, this function automatically switches on the camera, which ensures rapid uptake. In addition, you can tilt the monitor up and down, which can be of great help in particularly high or low positions.
Two absolute pluses include the 38-times-Mega-zoom, which still delivers crisp images even at full utilization, as well as the built-in Wi-Fi function, which provides an immediate transfer of images taken on his smartphone or tablet. With the right app which can be downloaded free of charge, a fast connection with a second device is possible. I have tried with my HTC One and it worked flawlessly.
On the quality of the images, as well as the videos I can not fault. Primarily of course, the images in the foreground. Can be set this from 640x480 up to 4608x3456 pixels. Where one already is the lowest quality level delivers super shots.
Another point is that the Coolpix L840 is powered by batteries camera.
For me personally, this is by no means be seen as a drawback. I have the camera now are just over a month, they have had to be used every day of my Berlin holiday and since then continue at least every third day on a long walk, and still there are the not even half depleted, batteries supplied in camera. Where experience has shown that the zoom function and video recording are the largest battery eater.
Also an advantage at this point is that you go always easier comes to batteries, if even then but should be unexpectedly empty.
My conclusion is therefore that I personally have no complaints about this camera and it can only recommend. It lies well in the hand, can be in spite of their weight long and comfortably worn around the neck, offers a variety of functions, is well suited for beginners, offers four batteries have a long life and the most important, whether with Zoom or without she made crisp images.
