Having now almost four weeks with the new Nikon Coolpix P500, I also allow myself as a lay judge to give it. It is so far the best camera with the photograph and had until then I was a Sony TX-9H.
Pros:
- HUGE 36x Optical Zoom (at full zoom I saw structures 5 miles away as though these were two blocks away)
- Relatively lightweight little, much more compact than I was expecting.(in comparison to a beginner Digital slr)
Up to 240 FPS video, nice slow motion.
- Manual controls, essential for just about any experienced camera user.
- Buttons well organized and no problem finding and employ.
Cons:
- Image quality was good however it was virtually expected, nothing remarkable with this cost range. Should you prefer greater quality images over features within this cost range, a beginner Digital slr like the D3100 is what you want.
- Should you accidentally leave the lens cap on and turn your camera on, the lens will still try to be released and it’ll grind the motor. Be Cautious! I discovered this to become the greatest flaw, not getting a “lens cap on” sensor or perhaps a resistance sensor that will stop the motor whether it thought something in the manner.
