Camera

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.

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….

I keep on seeing camera’s say that they are compatible with "this line of lenses" or things like that. But i have an old 35mm non-digital camera and I have tons of different brands of lenses! So i was wondering if the camera’s now only work with the same brand lens, for instance Canon with Canon lenses or Nikon with Nikon lenses, etc.

No, there are still third party lens makers out there. SIgma, Tamron, and Tokina all make lenses for multiple mounts.

Even the lenses you have were not necessarily made by the company named on the lens… Sears is an example of a company that didn’t actually make lenses, they paid companies like Cosina to make them and put the Sears name on them. That still goes on as well.

Depending on the lens mount of your gear, it may be possible to use it directly on a modern DSLR, or it may require an adapter to do so. If you can use it directly (Pentax K or Nikon F) then all you need is a camera. If your lenses use any other mount, like Canon FD or any maker that no longer exists (Konika for instance) then you are better off just getting new stuff. Sucks to buy all new gear when you have perfectly good old gear, but that’s the breaks.

I’m very new to Cameras , i have tried reviewing a phone using many cameras but the phone screen is blur while recording, can any one please suggest me a good camera for recording phone screen, with out blur.
