The Nikon Coolpix P520 is going to offer a 42X optical zoom lens with a maximum telephoto setting of 1000mm. This is a very impressive feature that you aren't going to find on a lot of cameras. There are some aspects of the that aren't able to match its other high-end features, though.
Nikon COOLPIX P520 Review
The Nikon Coolpix P520 boasts the most powerful lens in Coolpix camera yet, incorporating a 42x optical zoom lens which provides an effective focal range of 24-1000mm.
Nikon rests on its laurels as the competition zooms on by.
While it didn't fare very well in low light, we're still impressed with the Nikon P520 on the whole. Just as impressed, in fact, as we were with the earlier P510. For habitual bright-light shooters-the sort who spend their weekends shooting t-ball games and soccer practices-the P520 is an extremely...

NIKON Coolpix P520 - red
I was on holiday and borrowed this from a friend. I was totally surprised by how light it was, easy to handle, the zoom was amazing and having the built in video was great. It would work on manual or preset but in either case the result was great.- Ease of use
- Night shots weren't great
Superb All In One Camera.
Originally I was going for the Nikon P510 or the Canon SX50. After checking both in the high street stores, there was not that much noticeable difference in the zoom of both cameras 50X compare to 42X for Nikon.
I'm so glad I purchased this camera
This camera is my first step from digital compact towards SLR. I am delighted with it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I particularly like the zoom facility (good for close-ups of wildlife in the garden).- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Simple Controls
I wish this was my camera & not hubbies
Absolutely awesome zoom and the stabilizer means the zoom can be used while being held. My husband uses it to take pics of birds and family mostly.- Easy To Use
- Fast/accurate auto-focus
- Good Image Quality
- Good Image Stabilization
- Good in Low Light
- Great Zoom
- Large Clear LCD
- Nice Body Color
- Short Lag Time
Most versatile camera I own!
Owning a 35mm film Nikon FG and two Nikon SLRs including the D40x and D3100 and multiple VR and non VR Nikkor lenses I must say this camera is like a Greatest Hits recording. It has all the things that made Nikon what it is today and the only camera to take with you when you want to travel light.
