I bought this camera to keep in my car all the time. Not going to leave my ($) camera in my car. Does it shoot as good as my other Nikons, no. But I have got some great photos with it because I had it with me. The zoom is great, in fact wow! I have even sold a canvas photo that I took from a boat because it was so good. Got some great night shoots at the beach one night at a bonfire, because I had it with me. I gave one to a friend, he loves his. Buy rechargeable batteries, read the instructions and have fun.

I wish I knew more before I purchased this. (it is being returned for a refund) Firstly, it is very beautiful. That red color is amazing. It feels responsive and even takes rather clear shots outside in good lighting. Now for the bad. First it does not have a rechargeable battery but uses AA alkaline. I overlooked that fact before purchasing it. The little door that reveals the batteries and the SD card (same place) is so flimsy it would surprised me if it lasted a month. You have to open it often because that is how you get to the SD card and batteries (which will surely be changed often). And lastly - it is absolutely useless in low light. Even good low light. Blurry as it gets. You need flash (which overexposes) or you must be outside. If you want a cheap flimsy beach camera this is maybe ok. I am personally disappointed in Nikon for making this thing and may never buy another Nikon point n shoot again. Their SLRs prove they can make sturdy, excellent quality products but that unfortunately does not translate to the L830 at all.
