The Scene button also accesses the L840’s nine filter effects (see examples in the Image Quality section of the review), plus a Short Movie Show function that’ll automatically compile brief video clips into a thirty-second movie with customisable backing music and special effects. You can choose between the default, scene-detecting Scene Auto Selector mode, as well as eighteen individually-selectable scene modes, including a sweep panorama function. However the screen still isn’t touch sensitive, and to cut costs, there’s no electronic viewfinder either.Ī conventional mode dial is also omitted from the Nikon Coolpix L840 so you’ll need to press the Scene button on the rear panel to change shooting modes. The screen itself boasts the same specs as the outgoing L830’s monitor, with a high 921,000-dot resolution and very good viewing angles that make it easy to judge exposure and colour accuracy. It can’t flip 180 degrees to face forward though, so you’ll still have to guess the perfect selfie angle. You’ll have no trouble composing high or low angle shots either, as the 3.0” screen will tilt 90 degrees up or down. Although the gap between the hand grip and lens barrel may be slightly narrow for some, the grippy rubber coating makes the camera feel secure in the hand and there’s a decent-sized rear thumb rest, too. Not only is the control layout almost identical to a typical point and shoot compact camera the Nikon Coolpix L840’s chunky form also adds to its ease of use. However, this does make it far easier to use than you might expect.

In terms of creative and manual control, the L840 is much the same as Nikon’s shirt pocket-sized Coolpix S3700. The L840 may bear a passing visual resemblance to a DSLR, but that’s where the similarities end. Ease of UseĪlthough Nikon markets the L840 as a bridge camera that’s designed to be a middle ground in performance and control between a compact camera and a DSLR, that’s somewhat stretching the genre. Other features include a tiltable high-resolution 3.0” monitor and nine filter effects, plus an advanced Smart Portrait mode and Glamour Retouch post processing effects to flatter shots of friends and family. NFC pairing is also present, making it a doddle to set up a wireless connection with an NFC-enabled smart device.

The sensitivity range is now up one stop to ISO6400 and the L840 will continuously shoot seven shots at 7.4 frames per second where the L830 could only capture five images at 6.7fps.īut the most notable new addition to the L840 is its Wi-Fi connectivity for remote camera control and wireless image sharing with a smartphone or tablet. Image capture is still taken care of by a 16.0-megapixel CMOS sensor, but Nikon has made some processing improvements. The lens also features lens-shift Vibration Reduction that’s essential for giving you a fighting chance at capturing sharp shots when zoomed in. Optical zoom is boosted to 38x (up from 34x in the L830) and though there’s same 22.5mm-equivalent wide angle focal length, telephoto reach is now a 35mm-equivalent 855mm. The L840 has been treated to a couple of updates over its predecessor. The Nikon Coolpix L840 replaces last year’s Coolpix L830, but sticks to the same recipe of offering a chunky bridge camera design with a relatively large optical zoom range for modest money.
