It's been a week that i got this camera.I wanted a camera which is light weight,have good zoom,decent low light performance.There were only three of them i had to consider, Nikon P500,P510 and Sony HX100V. IMHO Nikkor lens is better than Sony, hence it was either P500 or P510.nThere are actually only three key differences between P500 and P510. First one is 36x vs 42x optical zoom, Second is better ISO ratings, and third is built-in GPS. I wanted better optical zoom hence i went for P510 and it was totally worth it. It has fantastic zoom. built in GPS means, when you upload photo to various online services it will automatically display the location on map, low light photos are also good. P510 can also shoot higher MP photos but once you cross 10MP there is not much difference in quality unless you want to print it on billboard.nI feel it was good decision to go for P510 against P500.Best 3 thousand i spend on gadget :)nnNote: in the low light condition and at 40-42x zoom it becomes difficult to click clear photos.If that is what you are looking for, buy a tripod as well.
I bought P510 a month ago(not from FLIP) and am having a very good experience with this one.n-42x is a greater closeness to your subject and combined with another of 2x DIGITAL ZOOM, its a BOOM. I clicked few photograps of FULL MOON and I LIVE THEM.n-but yeah, this much magnification also magnify the noise and shaking, need to have steady hands or a tripod.n-The Electronic VIEWFINDER is not much impressive, you can't use screen and VF simultaneously, need to switch every time.n-Manual Shooting gives you full controls over the shots and Automatic Mode acts like an experienced photographer, dual advantage.n-They say P510 comes with high ISO rating, great shutter speed, Well I say, thats just OHKEYY NOTE, nothing special about this.n-The AUTO FOCUS MODE on video recording is not much impressive, also, while recording, the OPTICAL ZOOM makes NOISE and that is also recorded in the STEREO AUDIO FORMAT. Then what...? I didn't buy this one to shoot videos. HUH.n-In SCENES MODE, NIKON has given many shooting modes. Choose your most suitable and ROCK.n-Battery life is not bad, and not too good, even. NIKON claims that P510 shoots 250+ on single charge, well, I shoot more than 300(I kept the display off and used the EVF, used sunlight and flash off) but it takes 5 HOURS to fully recharge the battery and bad thing is, when it is on charge, you can't do anything with the camera.n.nOKEY, ENOUGH, if you want to buy a BRIDGE, this is one of the best Options.nMake few more clicks, make your CARD ready, pay and buy this one, I hope you will write a REVIEW of SATISFACTION after few weeks.nROCK.
