Nikon Coolpix P510 Digital Camera Review
Superzooms are popular for plenty of good reasons, but the main attraction is always the huge zoom range. The Nikon Coolpix P510 certainly has that part covered. Its massive 42x, 24-1000mm equivalent lens has the longest reach of any camera out there by a long shot.
Pros:
- Enormous
- class-leading 42x zoom range
- Strong all-around image quality
Cons:
- Build quality feels a bit cheap
- Not as much control as other superzooms

Nikon's P510 sure puts the "zoom" in superzoom. Its 42x lens has a staggering 1000mm telephoto focal range.
