When you feel that now is the time to be compact, you’re in a right condition, thank to the new new COOLPIX L610 digital camera. This affordable camera offers a 14x Zoom optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens and a 16-megapixel backside illuminated CMOS sensor. The L610 also comes with a large 3-inch LCD monitor and supports AA-size battery. But one thing that you’ll love is the Easy Auto Mode.

Expected to be available in September 2012 for $249.95 MSRP in a variety of colors including Red, Black and Silver, the COOLPIX L610 digital camera covers from a wide-angle 25mm to a distant 350mm (35mm format equivalent). The NIKKOR lens has two ED glass elements and lens construction consisting of 11 elements in 10 groups. And last but not least, it also supports macro shooting from as close as approximately 0.4 in/1 cm (at wide-angle setting).
