I really like this camera!

This was bought for my wife, who is a "point & shoot" person - she's artistic and can compose nice shots, but very "technically challenged". Neither of us have ever owned Nikon or Canon, so you will see no "brand loyalty" here.
Pros:
  • Better Bokeh Than Others
  • Chromatic Aberation
  • Color Rendition
  • Color Variety
  • Easy To Customize
  • Sharpness
Cons:
  • No External Charger
  • No Lens Filter Threads

Pros:
  • Easy To Use
  • Good Image Quality
  • Good Image Stabilization
  • Great Zoom

Nikon Coolpix P510

I'm still not sure whether there's a good reason to have a 42x zoom lens on a compact camera. But regardless, the Nikon Coopix P510 is overall a very good full-sized superzoom, even if you never use the full zoom range. And, actually, it's probably better if you don't.
Pros:
  • A fun camera to shoot with
  • Overflowing with photo and movie features
  • Backed by very fast shooting performance and excellent low-ISO photo quality
Cons:
  • Has trouble focusing at the telephoto end
  • Its low-light/high-ISO photo quality has room for improvement
  • Camera feels cheaply constructed

Nikon Coolpix P510 Digital Camera Review

Whilst I certainly would not recommend the P510 for anyone who regularly uses video record functioning it does most definitely have a number of other redeeming features that are highly desirable in a compact of its class.
