Nikon COOLPIX L31 Compact Digital Camera - (16.1 MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 2.7-Inch LCD - Silver

This is a great camera - Lightweight and easy to handle. Delivery & packaging was good. The downside is the instructions which were in total French. Someone else who also got this camera received their instructions in Czech & Slovakian. Luckily, I found a site on the web which gave the instructions in English. Perhaps a booklet in several languages including English could be included instead, as is usual when buying electrical gadgets.!! This camera does not come with a protective case but batteries are included. Yes, would recommend this camera.

Very good camera for the money

Great camera, easy to use, great results, I'm now a AA Fugi convert to AA Nikon.I never have and never will buy a camera that doesn't take AA alkaline & AA re-chargeables. If you’re out and about and your batteries die you are stuffed.Also, all re-chargeable batteries have a design life, when your internal battery expires (2-3 years) your whole camera will expire with it!

The camera can take some good pictures, however, at times it seems to take a while after the button is pressed to actually operate the shutter, this has lead to some pictures being blurred as it can lead to moving the camera before it has completed the shot.

This camera is faulty and will only store 12 photos on the internal SD card. It does not recognise any other SD cards. I cannot find anywhere on here to get a replacement or have it repaired. Useless!!!!

Nice little budget camera, very smart. Not top of the range but great for the price. And too many bells and whistles spoils the fun in my view!The quick start guide that comes with the camera is in French but the English version is here: http://download3.nikonimglib.com/archive2/xv6WV00AHprK017Iziw27OKu7O58/L31QSGEUR_EU(En)01.pdfA full Reference Manual (some 97 pages) is available here: http://download3.nikonimglib.com/archive2/vWDPb00TRkNv01senhg27ImsqV57/L31RM_%28En%2902.pdf

Very disappointed with this.Purchased in 2015 and was initially delighted - a little annoyed that the claims about the anti-blur technology so you 'never miss a moment' were complete crap, but it still generally produced nice glossy 16MP results, so no complaints.Then towards the end of 2016, after we'd only had it a year and a half, we began to see the glitch message 'out of memory'. At first it only popped up now and then (and was untrue - there was plenty of memory left), and it still let us take photos, so we ignored it.Now it is all that happens when you turn on the camera. We have tried everything - replacement batteries, a different memory card, formatting the memory card, taking out the memory card - nothing. Just a permanent little BEEP! 'out of memory'. It won't even let us try to scroll through the settings - you click the menu for options, select something and BEEP! 'out of memory'. There's no way out of it.Quite irritated, really - paid £50 for this and really would have liked it to last at least a few years instead of just getting past the guarantee period and then glitching out. Really hoped the Nikon brand would be better than this. Do not recommend.

A small camera that is simple to use and takes good photos.
