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
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
