Reviews on Nikon L120 as a Bridge Camera?

Sunday, February 26th, 2012

Is the Nikon L120 a bridge camera? I have heard good reviews about it, although some people are questioning that it is a bridge camera. Just wondering if anyone knows anything on the L120 and why it might not be a bridge camera. Much appreciated, thanks

The Nikon Coolpix L120 has a good zoom. It LOOKS like a real camera, but it is ridiculously basic. It has no view finder, no hot shoe (so you can never attach a decent flash) and NO manual modes (only the auto scene modes) !!!!
Without manual controls you are very VERY limited in what you can do, and very limited in how much you can learn from and grow with the camera. It also not possibly to attach a decent external flash, so all you’ll ever have is that very inadequate little thing on the camera.

If you’re happy to forever stay on Auto, take simple little snapshots and let the camera decide what to do, then you’ll probably be happy enough with it, especially if you intend to only take photos in excellent light conditions – they’ll turn out quite well then.

If you want to learn, improve and get creative, then this is not the right tool for you. You need something with more options and more controls.

Can you use Nikon lenses for film cameras on your digital camera?

I was told that Nikon digital camera lenses are interchangeable with Nikon film camera lenses…the difference being that lenses made for the film cameras cost significantly less than those made for the digital cameras. Does anyone know if you this is true?

Yes…and no.
There’s a chart here to show what works….
