Nikon Coolpix P510 Review

Nikon Coolpix P510 is a superzoom camera with 16.1 megapixel CMOS sensor in a compact and appealing design. It is smaller than any DSLR camera so is quite handful and very comfortable to hold and use. It is equipped with ED (low-depression) glass lens that covers phenomenal focal length of 24mm wide-angle to 1000mm super-telephoto. It allows you to capture the finest details with high-speed continuous shooting at 7fps for full-resolution (4608 x 3456) images. High-speed shooting helps to captures all the actions that is specially useful in sports or baby photography. The continuous shooting and compositing capabilities of the Back-illuminated CMOS image sensor help you take beautiful clicks with low light scenes like night landscape or Night portrait while shooting with the camera in hand. It uses optical VR Image Stabilization and amazingly fast autofocus to capture spontaneous action which produce sharp and clear images. Full HD movies (1080p) with stereo sounds dazzles when recorded with a 16.1 mp CMOS sensor with zoom and continues autofocus feature. The P10's autofocus includes AF, Macro, Infinity and Manual modes.

Coolpix P510 has ultra-high resolution with 3 inch 921k-dot, vari-angle LCD monitor. Even more importantly, the LCD is articulated and able to tilt up or down, giving you some added flexibility in composing your shots. Although the LCD is not fully tiltable but very comfortable in shooting high or low angle scenes. Coolpix P510 has built-in Geo-Tagging and Global Positioning System (GPS) that gives you exact location (longitude and latitude) where the picture is taken and stores it in image's EXIF data. You can also record the location without clicking the pictures to know your route. One more interesting feature of Nikon Coolpix P510 is its 3D shooting mode. This mode creates 3D image that can be seen back in your 3D capable TVs and computers.

Overall Review

Nikon Coolpix P510 is a revolutionary camera that has so far been winning positive affirmations from customers and review experts. It features 16.1MP back-Illuminated CMOS image sensor paired with a 42x zoom NIKKOR ED glass lens that covers the exceptional focal range of 24 mm-1000 mm with a wide angle equivalent to that of a telephoto lens. Advanced Lens-shift VR image stabilization very skillfully compensates for the shakes produced, in subject as well as camera. And, with the powerful 42x optical zoom, you can always take the advantage of shooting far sceneries without compromising for the overall image quality. Design and build quality is purposefully made for providing Optimized controls and efficient handling.The 3inch high-resolution Clear color display can be twisted as much as 0 to 90 degrees upward or 82 degrees downward. With the new function button, you can assign it varied functions that you like to use often. The handgrip is intended to help curtail camera shake. And the body endorses a zoom control at side so as to make the handling more efficient. The Nikon Coolpix P510 keeps you cut to cut synchronized with its high-speed shooting options. High-speed continuous shooting enables you to capture shoot unremittingly with 7fps. And the feature on the high edge is the full HD recording support. The built in GPS makes it easier for you to tag the captured moments with co ordinates of that place. Ultimately, Nikon Coolpix P510 surprises us with its powerful zoom and picture capturing capabilities.
