- 28x optical zoom, 56x Dynamic Fine Zooms
- 20.2-MP CCD sensor for bright, sharp photos and HD videos
- Frame coverage: Approx. 99% horizontal and vertical (compared to actual picture)
- HD 720p videos with sound bring your memories to life

The Nikon Coolpix L340 Digital Camera has a superb 28x optical zoom telephoto lens with Vibration Reduction (VR). It gets you closer to the action for sharp 20.2-megapixel photos and steady 720p HD videos. Let Scene Auto Selector do the work, or use the simple menu system to select one of 16 Scene Modes.
I would say it's excellent for a beginner. I have read other reviews that say it's not good for fast action/sports, and that focus on zoom takes a few seconds and are blurry photos at times, but if you brace camera on a tripod or fence, etc, and wait for focus, you should do well with far away mountains or anything distant. I learned with a manual 35 mm camera, and this is definitely better, it takes a lot of thought out of setting up a shot while still getting good results. I definitely think you would enjoy using it.
