Nikon's budget bridge camera — 28x zoom with 1/2.3-inch sensor for basic wildlife observation.
The Nikon Coolpix L340 is a budget bridge camera with 28x optical zoom covering approximately 22.5-630mm equivalent. It targets casual users wanting long zoom reach at minimum cost — well below Nikon's P-series in quality.
Uses a 20.2MP 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor — image quality is basic. The 28x zoom provides useful reach. Electronic VR stabilisation. 720p video — no Full HD. AA battery powered — convenient but running costs add up.
No viewfinder — 3-inch fixed LCD only. 22.5-630mm f/3.1-5.6 Nikkor zoom. AA batteries. 20.2MP CCD. 480g. Basic in every respect — positioned at the absolute lowest price for a zoom camera.
Available used for almost nothing. The CCD sensor and 720p video are extremely dated. Any modern smartphone outperforms it in most situations. Only useful where the cheapest possible optical zoom is the priority. Check for smooth zoom mechanism.
