Nikon Coolpix P510
Superficially, the Nikon Coolpix P510 appears to be similar to several ultra-zooms, yet underneath it hold a good number of refinements. Of course, its ultra long 1000mm reach is headline-grabbing but what makes the P510 really compelling is its highly effective image stabilization, its improved...

Nikon Complicated pix
If you are talking about usability then there is nothing cool about this product. I would describe this as being as frustrating as a 4 hour traffic jam. If you are like me and not great with technology then this product is not for you.

Can't believe people like this camera!
I can't believe people like this camera. It has such a headache! I owned several Kodak digital cameras in the past and loved them. This was recommended by Best Buy staff but it has taken terrible pictures! It does poorly in low light (out of focus).
Pros:
- Not overly difficult to use
Cons:
- Rarely takes good pictures-Nikon has poor customer support

Nikon Coolpix P510 REVIEW: Its 42x Zoom is a Sight to Behold
When I first started playing with the Master of the Mighty Zoom, I was very impressed. There were little things here and there that were improved over last year's Coolpix P500. I loved most of the shooting features and effects, as well as the Coolpix P510's extensive external design.

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
