Photo and video quality is very soft at high ISOs and in low-light conditions
The P500 is fast, powering up and shooting in an average of 2 seconds, and you only wait 1.5 seconds between shots. Shutter lag, the time from button press to image capture, is a mere 0.5 seconds. In the PC Mag labs, we use Imatest to objectively measure...

Bulky. Expensive for a point-and-shoot camera.
It won't fit in your pocket, but Nikon's Coolpix P500 is a killer camera that combines sublime speed with a huge 36x zoom lens, HD-video recording, and a high-res articulating LCD. Buy it now...
Abstract: Going where no Coolpix has gone before, the expands the ultrazoom lens envelope out to 36x, currently the largest in the class and well past the 26x zoom of the . But while Nikon went long on the zoom multiplier, they went wide on the lens. the COOL...
36x zoom!, Simple to use, Feels great in the hands,
Average image quality, No RAW, Disappointing video quality
For many photographers, the Nikon P500′s 36x zoom will be just too tempting to resist, and after using it, we can see why. With an unprecedented focal range of 22.5-810mm, there aren’t many subjects that it can’t cover, be it landscape or wildlife, far...
The Nikon Coolpix P500 is a rather modest update of its predecessor, the P100, with the new 36x zoom lens the star of the show. Being able to shoot ultra-wide angle landscapes and extreme close-ups with the same camera is very liberating, but the over...

The Nikon Coolpix P500 has a solid design, is overflowing with photo and movie features, and has very fast shooting performance for its class
Its photo and video quality is very soft, particularly at high ISOs and in low-light conditions. It also lacks raw support and auto picture rotation
The Nikon Coolpix P500 improves on its predecessor's features and shooting performance, but its photos and video quality still aren't as good as the rest of the package.

Like: It looks and feels the goods.
Dislike: The 36X zoom lens is absurd. No human can hand hold a lens steady at 810mm, and even with the built in vibration reduction the hand held shots are blurred. To make matters worse there is image softness at both ends of the zoom range. Of the 120 t
Ridiculously long 36x optical zoom. Comes in a gorgeous cherry red version. Quick, responsive autofocus. Great LCD screen. Incredibly wide lens
No hotshoe. Short battery life. Electronic image stabilisation in video mode not effective. Patchy image quality at telephoto end. Poor video quality
The P500 will suit a photographer who values plenty of features, an electronic viewfinder and an incredibly long zoom rather than impeccable image quality....
