Sufficient memory is not included.
Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
For a camera that does it all, and makes it look easy, it's hard to beat Nikon's Coolpix L120 Digital Camera (Black) .You get a high resolution 14.1MP CCD sensor, a sharp Nikon 21x zoom lens that will carry you from a very wide-angle 25mm all the way to ultra telephoto 525mm (equivalent in 35mm format)--there's really no type of photography (landscape, portraits, parties, travel, wildlife, sports, etc.) that isn't possible with this range. And with 5-way image stabilization and sensitivity up to 6400 ISO, you'll get sharp pictures every time, even in low light or using the longest telephoto setting.
Of course, 1280 x 720 HD video is included, with stereo sound--all you need to do is touch one button and you're shooting beautiful video without making any adjustments. A bright, high-resolution (921K dots) 3" LCD display helps you capture and view great images under any lighting conditions.
Other great features include burst shooting at 15.3 frames per second for catching fast-moving subjects, modes that automatically detect and photograph a smile, warn you when your subject blinks, and correct redeye automatically. 17 Scene modes adjust the camera settings for different common photo situations, and there are 5 color options for increasing your creativity.

I am the "picture taker" in the family. The action shots are amazing. I researched several camera reviews on several websites before choosing the L120. Outside photography is great. Am still having trouble with indoor settings, but I am getting the hang of it.

I bought this as a replacement when I don't want to carry the bulky Nikon D300 DSLR, but want better picture than pocket size point and shoot.Pros: Long zoom, HD videoThis camera takes excellent outdoor pictures where light is abundant. Outdoor pictures are bright and crisp. Zoom is clear but the camera auto-focus point seems to be in the background rather than the foreground. What that means is if I take a picture of you standing in front of a tree from afar, the tree will be more clear than you in photo. But you won't notice these minor differences if you only develop 4x6 or 5x7 photos.HD video image is satisfactory, zoom is very slow at video recording mode. Image stabilization can't compare to a dedicated hand-held camcorder, but the recording quality is good enough for me since I don't have to carry an extra recording device.CONS: A lot of presets with no manual control. Nikon created many shooting scenarios presets and forced you to pick. You can change ISO setting but you can NOT choose a different shutter speed. There would be no problem if the presets work as described, but they don't.This camera is impossible to take an indoor photo on people.- Day time photos of wife sitting next to the window under sunlight while reading a book - FUZZY.- Day time photos of friends inside a restaurant having lunch - FUZZY.- Day time photos of kids at birthday party blowing candles, singing songs, etc - FUZZY.- Night time photos of family sitting on a couch with all room lights turn on - FUZZY.I have tried these with every available presets such as Portrait Mode, SPORT MODE, AUTO Mode with various ISO settings under flash and no-flash. The results are similar. Do I have super shaky hands that I am unaware of?- Night time picture of a pen on table under low light - Clear.Conclusion: This is a good outdoor camera but useless for indoor. I am returning it because of its inability to produce clear indoor live portrait. What good is a camera if you can't shoot clear pictures on people?Could the camera I received be defective? Maybe, but [...] reviews have reported similar issues.4 AA batteries will approximately good for 300 photos with half flash, and half non-flash

I use my new camera to take pictures of family, friends, and pets, in both indoor and outdoor settings.
The camera takes beautiful pictures, which was expected, but I have never had a camera this nice before.
When I opened the package to find that the body and lens had a few scuffs and scratches, I was kind of disappointed. After I turned the camera on to test it, I realize those marks didn't matter. It works perfectly!

The quality of the video is great! I'm a comedian and I record all of my shows from the back of the comedy clubs which is way over 100 feet away from the stage. I use the zoom for close-ups and it captures every face expression and gesture.

I ordered refurbished. When i received the camera and turned it on, it just kept trying to auto focus and the screen just flashed "Remove Lens Cap" I never even put on the lens cap so I was quite disappointed. Customer service at B&H was great though. I hope the replacement they send works correctly!

Comments about Nikon Coolpix L120 Digital Camera (Black):
I've only owned the Nikon Coolpix L120 for two weeks now and so far I really like it. This is only my second Nikon that I've ever owned. The first was a Nikon SLR I had back in the 80's that I really liked. The camera is very easy to use and it takes great pictures. Even though the manual is in PDF format I own a printer that can print out in duplex mode, which means I can print out the entire manual with half the paper. I recommend reading the manual as it has a lot of information on how to use the different scene modes. I thought it was great that the camera came with 4 Energizer Lithium batteries. These are the best type of batteries that you can use as they will last a very long time.

The Nikon Coolpix L120 Digital Camera is a truly fabnulous camera and can serve everyone from the casual picture taker to a developing photographer. It is easy to use. Even a know nothing newbie could have the camera taking pictures in just minutes. It's extremely versatile with settings that enable you to take a crip clear photo in any situation. And, it's a powerful platform that accepts adn accommodates lots of different lenses.
I truly haven't found anything about it that I don't like.

The Nikon COOLPIX L120 14.1 MP camera is very easy to work and use and has that Professional feel about it. It takes great photo's and focus is fast. I am still learning all of the features but I have to say that this is the best camera I have owned. The images are very clear and bright, zoom is fast and so is shutter time.

A friend of mine recommended this camera to me because I'm a beginner with limited finances, and this camera gets surprisingly good telephoto shots. He used to work for the Calvin Company (an industrial film production house) in Kansas City), so he knows good equipment.It shoots decent video as well. Here's some footage he and I shot using this camera:http://youtu.be/r0796grRWPU

This is a great point and shoot. Whie I wish it had a manual operation, the scenes it has to choose from are so extensive that you can find one to match nearly any setting. This camera takes great photographs, and is very user friendly. The refurb is "like new"....really it IS new. Can't tell any difference in outer appearance or operation...well worth the extra savings!!

We bought this as an intro digital camera for our son. He wanted one of the Nikon's with interchangeable lenses, but he is more than pleased with this camera. It's quick to capture the moment, as long as the flash is on inside (learning curve). This package was refurbed with a 2 year warranty and came with a case, batteries, software, and 8g card. It was a great deal---we're going to go out and explore next weekend with our cameras and let him begin using the options. Very very pleased.

So simple to use. I bought this little power house for my granddaughter to have while she spends a semester studying in New Zealand. She has been testing it for the last two weeks and is looking forward to capturing the beautiful NZ landscape. The sharpness and color almost look like 3-D.
I will certainly put this camera on my wish list for my family to see.

I received this camera as a Christmas Gift. I was looking for a camera that had the ability to shoot multiple frams per second that would be useful for shooting at concerts and in low light. Also having a variety of different settings was a plus. I look forward to trying out all of the settings on this camera. The size of the camera is also nice. It is easy to carry, without being to bulky.

This has the look and feel of the old standard 35mm SLR camera. Not at all like my previous pocket camera. Nikon quality. Simple auto shoot settings or an intuitive complex shoot menu. The pop-up flash is powerful for those shots past 8-10 feet that my pocket camera lacked. Great price on this camera also.

This camera is a Christmas gift upgrade for me from a 6Mp camera. I shoot stills and landscapes and so far have been extremely happy with the performance. It has a wide range for telephoto AND is lightweight and easy to use.
The only thing I find to be a little annoying is the auto-focus doesn't keep up/adjust near as fast as I thought it would.
Other than that? Great camera!

Comments about Nikon Coolpix L120 Digital Camera (Black):
I wanted to upgrade to this camera from an older Canon digital camera that lacked most of the features offered by the L120. The L120 offers fantastic telephoto and wide angle capabilities and good motion capture. I like all of the features such as "red eye" correction and other photographic effecs. The only think that could have been better was the power source - it uses normal AA batteries and I would have preferred rechargeable lithion ion batteries, but for the price that is not a major consideration.
