Overall, the Nikon Coolpix P500 is quite impressive. Although there are no errors, the camera features make up for them. Below are the main advantages and disadvantages I have found after using the camera for a few hours.
advantages:
- BIG 36x optical zoom (at full zoom, I could see buildings 5 miles away, as if they were two blocks away)
- Relatively light and compact, much smaller than I expected (compared to an entry level DSLR).
- Up to 240 FPS video, nice slow motion.
- Manual control, a must for all experienced camera users.
- Buttons well designed and easy to find and use.
drawbacks:
- Image quality was good but it was largely expected, there is nothing unusual in this price range. If you prefer a higher-quality images of features in the price range, an entry level DSLR that D3100 is the way to go.
- If you accidentally leave the lens cap on and turn on the camera lens would still try to get out, and it will paint the engine. CAUTION! I found this to be the biggest mistake that does not have a "lens cap on" sensor or a resistance sensor that would stop the motor if the sensed something wrong.
- No information external battery charger. You must charge the battery while it is in the camera via USB cable and AC adapter. And while it is charging, it will not let you turn it on, so that you can not use it as a power source either.
- As with all ultra high zoom are all small vibration is enlarged, so if you do not have a tripod or other form or support, it is extremely difficult to get a clear picture at maximum zoom.
All in all, it is very user friendly. From beginner to the experienced photographer, photo geeks, are the features on this camera is sure to impress. If you can handle a few minor drawbacks, the Nikon Coolpix P500 pretty nice camera.
