  • Great Camera = Outstanding quality photos and videos!! Great Camera = Outstanding quality photos and videos!!
Color: Red
Great Camera = Outstanding quality photos and videos!! I had the Cool Pix L24 for about 3 years and loved it! I had no problems with it whatsoever. About 4 weeks ago I accidently dropped it and the battery latch snapped off. Since I couldn't close the compartment and duct tape didn't work I decided to get the Cool Pix L32. I love this camera as much if not better. A major improvement for me is having the video button on the console. With the L24 I had to press a couple of buttons and go up/down on the menu and then press start. This is a nice feature! There are some additional beneficial features that make this a must have quality camera as it is easy to use, works great, and is fun to use. I did read other comments about the battery compartment door but the caveat on that is you must be careful when opening and closing it. Just like anything with digital and electrical components you have to handle with care and also keep out of extreme heat and cold. Also, the NX2 software still works! All I had to do was attach the compatible Nikon cable I had with the L24 and connect it to the L32 and to my computer. This synchronized the L32 with my computer and NX2. After I did this all of my photos and videos were then transferable from the L32 and the card reader. Working with the NX2 software is pretty easy but you have to take time and most of all read the HELP files at the top of the screen. This helped me tremendously because at first I didn't understand why the images from my card reader weren't showing up on the main screen in NX2 on my computer. WARRANTY - A Warranty paper is inside my camera box that includes the serial number and model number of the camera and can register it online at www.nikonuse.com/register. I received this camera 7/3/2015 and on the paper inside it reads, "Registration not required for warranty coverage." "You must present this form together with Proof of purchase and proof of purchase date (Bill of Sale to obtain warranty service. This Nikon product is warranted by Nikon Inc. to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase." My Coolpix L32 Nikon I just bought and received comes with a Nikon one (1) year warranty. I am very happy with this camera and it is a great price with tremendous value! If I hadn't dropped my L24 I would still be using it but the good thing is I have the most up to date Cool Pix camera now. I give this little but quality and powerful camera my highest recommendation! The audio is awesome too! ... show more

This camera is super easy to just bring everywhere and the picture quality is exactly what I was looking for. It has the film look with the option to add the date timestamp to the bottom of the picture. I received it refurbished and it was perfect for my needs

  • Quality camera that will last...
Color: Red
First let me say that it is becoming harder and harder to find good quality cameras at a reasonable price. Lately I find cameras like this one that are either inexpensive and of bad quality or great quality but very expensive. This camera falls in a vanishing category of great quality at a reasonable price. This camera will take high quality pictures at 20.1 mega pixels and it is important to note that the zoom is optical which means that you will not give up any of the resolution when you zoom in. If your goal is to get the best quality you can get, and this camera does not make you happy, you will have to move to professional cameras that have detachable lenses and you are looking at many times the price. But here is something that you will not like and the only reason I gave it 4 stars. The world is moving fast to 4K video resolution but unfortunately this camera cannot even do 1080p recording. Considering that most cell phones today have 1080p video recording capabilities, you would think that a device that all it does is camera functions, would at least have the ability to record 1080p video. If you are looking for a quality camera that is easy to use and you want it to last, this camera is highly recommended. But be sure first that you just need a camera for pictures and not for video. This may be the reason why these cameras are at the brink of extinction, they are great picture cameras but our mobile devices have spoiled us so much that we do not want just a picture camera any longer. When we consider buying a camera, we do it because we want something better than what we already have in our pocket and that usually means that we are looking for optical zoom and quality lenses with quality video capabilities. If you are still interested in this camera, here are some things that you may want to know: 1) It has a big 3" screen that is easy to see and use. 2) Operation is very simple and the menus are easy to figure out without having to read a manual. 3) It uses 2 AA batteries that you can buy everywhere. I had cameras with rechargeable batteries that go dead if I do not use the camera for a few months or their charger is proprietary and when it is broken or lost, it costs a lot to replace it. I love the simplicity of just putting 2 new commonly used batteries and be good to go. 4) It takes the full size SD memory card which means that you can just put in an adapter (many micro SD cards come with a free adapter) and turn it to a micro SD card while you will not have to throw away your old full size cards. As for durability, we use cameras for the nursing staff to take pictures of patients and enter them to our electronic health record (EHR) software. We also use them for employee badges. Although we do not need high resolution pictures for these functions, when we get the less expensive cameras, they do not last for more than a few months. I always find them dead or the battery compartment door broken and held by rubber bands. So I have been replacing those $30.00 to $50.00 cameras with the Coolpix L32 and I do not have any problems anymore. Note that this camera does not come with a USB cable and it has a non standard connector. You can either use a USB card reader like this one Rocketek 11 in 1 USB 3.0 Memory Card Reader, or you can buy the USB cable here, Replacement Nikon Coolpix L32 Digital Camera USB Cable 5' USB Data cable - (8 Pin), which costs less than 5 bucks at the time of this review. ... show more

  • My kid loves this little camera
Color: Red
I ordered this for my daughter as every time we go shopping she asks me to buy her a camera. So when her birthday came up I thought it would be a wonderful starter camera for her. It arrived unmanaged and is a slick little point and shoot camera. She really likes how small it is and the photos come out extremely crisp. She doesn't know much about photography yet but when I see the images she been taking I can see she's been watching me closely. I played with this little camera and am impressed with it. When I first played with it I was shocked how light it was, as I'm used to my DSLR. Adjusting the settings on it was a learning curve for me as again I have a Canon DSLR that I use regularly. I don't have anything negative to say about this little camera and my daughter absolutely loves it so that's what matters. ... show more

  • BEST COMPACT CAMERA
Color: Red
This is my second COOLPIX. I have been a photographer for 50 years, starting with a twin lens Rollieflex and working my way through all of the cameras from 35mm to 4x5 view cameras. The new digital age is remarkable, and I chose to use this camera for its wide angle lens and very small size. Generally it is easier to get closer than back away. The compact nature of this camera combined with the wide angle and the use of AA batteries are the main selling features. The use of AA batteries makes it so easy to have back-up power. Go with lithium batteries and buy the Amazon case that fits it (the one with a zipper pouch for spare batteries, a ziplock bag for occasions when you might loose the camera overboard, and a small flex leg tripod). The camera seems to hold up well, but I had to ditch my old one since the repair cost exceeded the price of a new one (lens error). I got about four years out of the old one, so it was a great value. I have not used the camera for extensive video, but the new 32gig memory cards should hold alot. Even if this camera fails after a year (you might consider an extended warantee), I would buy another one. ... show more

Color: Red
I bought this camera to take on a vacation - because I didn't want to clog up my phone with pictures. I had a click and shoot Nikon before and I liked it. So I thought this would be a good buy- I also liked the idea of it taking batteries instead of needing to be charged. Let me list what was ok about this product first. The pictures that I was able to take came out nice The batteries lasted a long time What was bad.. The camera will shut it's self off or go into energy saver mode I guess which makes sense to not waste the batterie. HOWEVER the time in which it will automatically do this (if you are not taking a picture) is way way too short. Also there is no simple way to "wake up" the camera from this state. You basically have to turn the camera completely off and then back on again - this is a very annoying thing if you are walking around taking pictures or are on a tour and there are gaps in-between things to see and take a picture of. I can't stress enough how FRUSTRATING it is to want to take a picture of something and find that your camera is unresponsive. Also important to note the time delay between taking one picture to the next seems like forever! Now I know it's not going to be as fast as say your iPhone but seriously just one second delay means you can not take good pictures of something active.. example a bird in flight… Also some times randomly the picture I took would come out almost black - for no reason I could find. I don't know if I just had a dud of a camera or what but I was not at all happy with this purchase. ... show more

  • Non-Standard Cable Non-Standard Cable
Color: Red
The title of this review reflects the most frustrating part of this camera, which is that the camera comes without a USB cable, and the cable connector is not standard. More on that later. First here is the overview of the things I liked about it. Pros: 1. It has an actual battery voltage monitor that shows up when you power up. Every other camera I own only shows the battery voltage when it needs to be replaced. I would rather see what charge is left ahead of time. 2. It uses standard AA NiMH rechargeable batteries. There is even a setting for NiMH in the Battery Type menu. Being able to use NiMH AA batteries was a non-negotiable requirement when purchasing this camera. There are few such cameras available now. I have tons of AA rechargeable batteries, and in the middle of a shoot, I want to be able to just swap out the batteries and go. I don't want to plug the camera into the wall for hours. I also don't want to be paying 50 bucks for a proprietary backup battery and then having to depend on a proprietary battery charger to keep it charged. I already have tons of rechargeable AA's, and I want that to be my power source. I don't care if the Lithiums last longer. I have tons of NiMH AA's, and when they run out, I swap 'em. 3. When you select Macro mode, it remembers that setting between sessions. The Canon cameras turn the Macro setting off when you turn off the camera. You can make a case for either method, but I prefer that the camera retain the setting. 4. The menus were easy to understand and use. 5. When the camera turns itself off after the timeout, it blinks the light around the on/off button to indicate that it is off. I think that's cool. 6. The photos look OK.... not great but OK. The colors look OK so far. 7. The body of the camera seems fairly solid. It is also small and easily put into a pocket. 8. The monitor screen is large and bright. Here are the things that I do not like about the camera: Cons: 1. The biggest con is that there is no USB cable supplied with the camera. I knew that there is no cable supplied when I bought it, but I have lots of camera USB cables lying around from old, defunct cameras. Fuji, Canon, Sony.... they all came with the same cable, so who needs another one? Wrong. The Nikon cable has its own proprietary connector on it, so none of the standard cables will fit. If Nikon is going to design and ship the camera with its own proprietary USB connector, then it behooves them to supply a compatible cable with the camera. That is my opinion. I took off a whole star for this problem. I am now waiting for an additional order from Amazon to get a cable for the camera so that I can upload my photos without opening the fragile battery door to take out the SD card. 2. That brings me to the second problem. A lot of reviews mentioned that the battery door breaks easily. It does appear to be rather fragile. It is working for now, but it would not surprise me if it broke pretty soon. If I can get my hands on a USB cable, I will open the door only to replace the batteries, not for getting the card out to get my photos. I am hoping that will extend the life of the camera. I have two old point-and-shoot cameras (different manufacturer) that work fine except for the broken battery doors, which make them pretty useless. One of them is now taped shut, and the other one is screwed shut. There must be a way to make a battery door that will last. 3. That brings me to a minor gripe, which is that the SD card is difficult to remove with the batteries in place. I have figured out how to do it, but it is a bit tricky. Taking the batteries out to remove the SD card is just an extra step I would rather not do. 4. Also, the SD card goes in backwards. On every other camera I own, the SD card goes in with the label facing the lens. On the Nikon, the SD card goes in with the label facing the back. It doesn't really matter, but it was confusing for a few seconds. 5. There is no Shutter Priority mode or Aperture Priority mode. In fact, there are no manual modes at all other than turning off the flash and adjusting the exposure by a couple of stops. This is an automatic camera. There is only Auto in this camera or use one of their preset scenes. I do not use manual settings very often, but when you need them, you need them. 6. The camera stores the image files with all caps suffix, JPG instead of lowercase jpg. On a windows platform that is not a problem, but on my Linux computer, which is always case sensitive, it is an entirely different file name. This is just a minor complaint, but all of my scripts and web pages have been standardized on lowercase jpg, so I have found myself renaming a lot of files. 7. The camera has more pixels than lens. What I mean by that is that the maximum setting of 5152 x 3864 pixels shows an image that is not pixelated, but it is blurry. I compared my PowerShot A2000 IS point-and-shoot camera with the Nikon L32 and the difference in focus quality is striking. The PowerShot image is much sharper than the Nikon. I have taken off a star for the weak lens. Considering what I will actually use the camera for, which is to post images on the web at 640 x 480 pixels, the image quality should be sufficient. But that said, the quality of the camera is defined by the quality of the lens, and this camera has a subpar lens on it, even when compared to another cheap point-and-shoot camera. I do not know yet whether the camera will mount on my Linux system for image upload, but once I get the necessary USB cable, I will update this review with the answer to that question. Update 2018/01/04: I have finally received the cables that I ordered for uploading the images from the camera. I ordered two cables, just in case, since some of the online reviews for both cables indicated that the cable did not work with their camera. Nikon 25851 UC-E16 USB Cable Nikon Coolpix L32 Digital Camera USB Cable 5' USB Data cable Replacement by General Brand Both of the cables have the correct connector on them for the Nikon, and both work properly. I simply insert the small connector into camera and the USB standard connector into the computer and turn on the camera. The camera connects via USB as a Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) device. The name of the mount point is "USB PTP Class Camera" with the usual folder structure. The files on the camera can be accessed, but not modified. The PTP software mounts the camera as a read-only device. To unmount, simply turn off the camera. To repeat, these cables have a proprietary connector on them that will fit into the Nikon camera only. The camera does not accept the standard mini-usb or micro-usb connectors. If you buy one of these Nikon cameras, make sure that you order a USB cable along with it. According to the online specs, the Nikon OEM cable is compatible with the following Nikon models. COOLPIX L32, L810, S30 CoolPix S30, CoolPix S30, and L26. That indicates that the proprietary connector has been used across a wide range of Nikon models. For those who are running Linux, I run a Linux Mint system, and the camera connects OK to my system. Here is a very brief outline of my system OS specs.
