Nikon P500 (Black)
12.1-megapixel COOLPIX digital camera

Up close and personal
There's no shot too tough for the Nikon P500 digital camera. It's 36x, wide-angle optical zoom lets you bridge the distance, allowing you to get close-up shots with ease, get shots that distance would normally ruin, and even capture wide vistas or large group shots. Your shots will come out looking, good, too, thanks to dual image processors and Nikon's EXPEED C2 image processing engine that minimizes noise, streaking, and distortion. Your action shots will come out looking sharp with the P500's high ISO capabilities. Nikon's Smart Portrait system makes sure your most common subjects (that would be your friends and family) always come out looking good, with red-eye reduction, face tracking, and even light compensation so they don't come out looking blotchy. Plus, just in case you're looking to add a little more life to the memories you capture, the Nikon P500 takes high-quality 1080p video, letting you lighten your load by leaving one more device behind.

THIS IS A GREAT CAMERA, BECAUSE YOU CAN BE AT ANY DISTANCE. IT MAY BE ALITTLE BIGGER TO CARRY, BUT I THINK ITS WORTH IT. I LIKE THE BIG VIEW SCREEN OR THE OPTION OF THE VIEW FINDER. I BOUGHT IT FOR THE BIG ZOOM LENS

I WOULD HAVE TO SAVE THAT FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS LITTLE EXPERIENCE WITH QUALITY OF CAMERA AND FEATURE SUCH AS THE INCREADIBLE ZOON AND SETTINGS FOR EACH AND EVERY SITUATION THIS IS ONE ENCREDIBLE CAMERA. FOR THE PRICE UNDER $500 DOLLARS THE FEATURES ARE UNMATCHED. I EVALUATED EVER CAMERA IN THE SUPER ZOOM CATERGORY AND NONE CAME CLOSE. THE BEST PURCHASING DECISION I COULD HAVE MADE.

What a great camera for the right price. It is light weight. It is easy to navigate. The zoom is superb. It has a large number of pixels so I can print larger pictures.
