Which one should you choose?
Choose Nikon COOLPIX L27 if two AA batteries and a 5x 26–130mm zoom fit your buying plan.
Choose Nikon COOLPIX S3400 if 20.1 MP and a 7x 26–182mm zoom are worth using an EN-EL19 pack.
The L27 is the replaceable-AA option; the S3400 is slimmer and adds resolution and reach.
