While we've yet to see the final working version of the Nikon Coolpix P510, our first impressions were certainly good.The sturdy chassis is comfortable to hold and didn't feel too heavy (although it's worth noting that the unit we saw didn't contain the a...
Whilst I certainly would not recommend the P510 for anyone who regularly uses video record functioning it does most definitely have a number of other redeeming features that are highly desirable in a compact of its class. The generous offering of 1...
Compact, mini-SLR design body with great grip, Zoom range from 24 to 1,000mm equivalent, Effective optical image stabilization, Built-in GPS, Second Zoom lever on lens barrel, Lots of Movie options including Full HD and slo-mo, Stereo audio recording, ...
Achieving focus can be an adventure, Short shoulder strap, Battery can only be charged in the camera without optional charger, Focusing can get lost, Manual focus only in Sports Scene mode, Somewhat slow cycle time, No flash hotshoe, No raw mode, Below...
It used to be that shooting with a superzoom meant compromising. With each new generation of superzoom, though, fewer compromises are required. With the Nikon P510 I was, for the first time, not keeping score so much as exploring a new way to see. It w...
Big 42x optical zoom, 1080p HD movie, EVF and articulated, hires 3.0inch monitor
Expensive, Long video start delay, Somewhat bulky
Nikon recently introduced two new Coolpix cameras and although they show no resemblance whatsoever to each other, they are remarkably similar. Both digicams share identical GPS systems, identical EXPEED C2 image processing engines, indentical 16 megapix...
Nice and easy to hold – lightweight but sizeable, with a good grip, Zoom lens stays steady for crisp shots, In-camera UI is incredibly easy to manipulate, Very versatile: Shoots macro, high-zoom, portrait, and landscape well – provided the lighting is dec
Video capabilities are limited, Low light without flash isn't impressive, Some features just don't pull their weight: GPS and built-in effects
Should you buy it? The Nikon Coolpix P510 balances many tradeoffs: Lots of hardware features, but sub-par video. Easy-to-use controls, but poor low-light performance. What you need to keep in mind when considering the P510 is that this won't best a DSL...
Nikon's CoolPix P510 gives new meaning to the expression super-zoom camera. Sporting a 42x optical zoom lens ranging from 24mm - 1000mm, they have provided a lens range that outdoes all other compact cameras. Don't worry, this camera is not all lens ei...
Long 42x zoom lens. Sharp images. Snappy performance. 1080p video capture. Integrated GPS.
Highspeed burst limited to 5 shots. No hot shoe or mic input
Bigger than a compact, but smaller than a D-SLR, the 42x Nikon Coolpix P510 packs a high-quality lens that delivers sharp images. Integrated GPS, 1080p video capture, and plenty of other features help it nab our Editors' Choice for the best full-size sup...

Quality: about par with most other digicams in this sector.Why you would buy it: you want a long zoom in a small package.Why you wouldn't: no reason.On sale in three colours: black, red and silver. To me, the red does look a bit odd on such a well-configu...
