L620

Hi,

I have a Nikon L620 that I've been using for several years now. The battery door has been sprung, and the LCD screen has a crack from being dropped on a hard floor.

I am debating with myself as to whether to have it repaired or to get a new camera.

If I get a new camera of a different make/model, I would want something comparable, so I am posting here for advice from the experts.

I like the size of the L620. I would like for a new camera to be of the same size. A new camera MUST be powered by AA batteries (as I have a load of AA rechargeable batteries that I use in both cameras and flashlights), and it would have to take full-size SD cards (as I have a load of those). The only thing that I don't like about the L620 is the same knock that most other people have against this camera: It takes a while for it to focus.

I would replace it. Maybe consider… COOLPIX B500

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Once a camera starts to "fall to bits" then -yes- it is time for a replacement

I suggest that you view DPReview.com site for cameras from all of Nikon-Canon- & Panasonic to see / find something that suits your needs. There are plenty to choose from

Hope this helps
