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.

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

It can also record your route even if you don't shoot any photos, but you can't map it until you get back to your computer, Imaging-Resource.com points out.

Nikon P510 Review
It's clear that Nikon has truly improved upon the P500, fashioning an incredibly long 42x extended zoom camera that does it all quite well. The build quality and handling are without complaint, the autofocus works quite well from 24mm all the way out to 1000mm, and images are surprisingly noise-free...

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
