Many of today’s digital cameras are also able to shoot videos, and the Nikon Coolpix L24 has this capability. Unless you are a serious video maker, you won’t need to have a separate camcorder to take videos. There are certain subjects, such as sporting events, a child’s recital or school play, or anything involving motion, where still pictures aren’t the same as having a video record of the event. Not only do you get clear crisp video footage, you also get high quality sound to go with it.

In addition to the Basic Kit, you can also buy a Deluxe Accessory Pack that will make your picture taking even more pleasurable. For one thing, you get 4 AA High Capacity NIMH Rechargeable Batteries, along with a charger. Using rechargeable batteries and a charger is very convenient. I bought a couple of extra rechargeable batteries so I always have fresh ones in my camera and a spare set already charged up. It is no longer necessary to make a quick trip to WalMart to buy a stockpile of alkaline AA batteries. If you will be making a lot of videos or taking a lot of reduced-light photographs, you will really get a lot of use out of the stable 50-inch tripod that comes in the Deluxe Accessory Kit. A durable hard shell case also comes with this accessory kit, which will protect your camera from impact, the weather, and moisture when you’re carrying it around.
Perhaps the most common complaint about the Nikon Coolpix L24 Digital Camera is that the door for the battery breaks super easily. In terms of annoying problems, this is one of the bigger ones that you may or may not have to deal with. Plenty of customers have reported that the door breaks off not just from the camera being dropped but from the simple open and closing of the door to change the batteries. If this happens, you either have to return the camera or keep the door in place with tape.
So often, especially with easily afforded technology, the big features work really well but the smaller features we take for granted fail. So if you choose to purchase this camera be very careful with the battery compartment door.
