I bought this camera so that I could take better long-distance photos with the higher-power optical zoom, and it works just fine for that purpose. I also wanted a camera that would work on AA batteries, since these batteries are plentiful and can be purchased almost anywhere.

The Nikon Coolpix B500 is a bridge camera with a 16 megapixel sensor, which is paired with a 40x optical zoom. You can also activate a digital zoom up to 80x. It offers a range of shooting modes, but there's no manual control, and it can't shoot in raw format.

Very good camera
Picture quality is good with good zoom capability. The reason why i am not giving 5 star is, The build in WiFi wont work without Snapbridge app(in android). I couldnt try this bacause my phone runs on android 4.2(android 5.0 or later is required for Snapbridge)

I bought this for my wife but she may never see it.
Simple, easy to use right out of the box, great lens, reasonable price, Nikon quality. I use DSLRs and bought this for my wife, but it's so easy to use, download, and fits practically anywhere. I've never used a WiFi download with my cameras but will be updating now. This camera has convinced me.

Nikon Coolpix B500
I bought this camera to take kayaking for nature photography. I didn't want to bring my expensive Nikon and lens. I am really pleased with the results. I often take it with me when I don't want to lug around a heavy 500 MM lens. I particularly like the flexible, bright view finder.
Pros:
- great price
- nice pictures
- great to carry around
Cons:
- I would have liked a viewfinder in bright light

When I bought B500 i was confident for the result because of the great name of NIKON. So i was not disappointed. Great pictures, easy fucntionality, various interesting modes like the moon shooting and the stars shooting.

This is a good camera for beginners. Its pretty basic and doesnt really have a lot of bells and whistles that ppl look for but its ok. I like the fact that I can have photos sent to my phone and transfer them to social media if I wanted to.
