Overview
The Nikon COOLPIX L610 is a compact point & shoot digital camera released in 2011 featuring a 16-megapixel CCD sensor. It is equipped with a 15x optical zoom NIKKOR lens, covering a focal length range equivalent to 28-420mm in 35mm format, providing versatile shooting capabilities from wide-angle to telephoto. The camera uses a CCD image sensor measuring 1/2.3 inches with a resolution of 4608 x 3456 pixels. Autofocus is contrast-detection based, with a focus area covering 99 points across the frame. The camera also incorporates electronic image stabilization to reduce blur caused by hand-shake. For video, it supports Full HD 1080p recording at 30 frames per second in MOV format. The device features a 3.0-inch LCD display with 921,000 dots for easy framing and review. Power is supplied by a rechargeable EN-EL19 lithium-ion battery offering moderate battery life suitable for casual usage.
Exposure control is fully automatic but allows for scene modes and some manual control over ISO sensitivity ranging from 80 to 3200. Shutter speeds range from 1/1500 to 1 second, accommodating a variety of lighting conditions. The camera lacks an optical viewfinder, relying solely on the rear LCD screen for framing shots. Connectivity options include USB 2.0 and HDMI output for transferring images or viewing on external displays. Storage is handled via SD/SDHC/SDXC cards, with no internal memory. The COOLPIX L610 runs on Nikon's EXPEED C2 image processor to ensure efficient image handling and fast operations.

Key Advantages
The COOLPIX L610 offers a high-resolution 16MP sensor for detailed photos suitable for prints and cropping. Its 15x optical zoom lens provides great versatility for various shooting scenarios from landscapes to distant subjects. The Full HD video capability allows users to capture quality videos with smooth frame rates. The 3.0-inch high-resolution LCD screen provides bright and clear image previewing and easy navigation of menus. The camera supports a wide ISO sensitivity range improving low-light performance. Its compact and lightweight design makes it highly portable for daily use and travel.
Limitations
The camera uses a CCD sensor which generally results in slower processing speed and increased noise at higher ISOs compared to CMOS sensors. Lack of an optical or electronic viewfinder can make shooting in bright sunlight challenging. Shutter speed is limited to 1 second maximum, restricting long exposure photography options. It lacks advanced manual controls preferred by experienced photographers. The absence of RAW image format limits post-processing flexibility. Battery life may be insufficient for extensive shooting sessions without spare batteries.
