Excellent
I have compared like cameras for the last two months trying to determine which product to purchase. Having used cameras of friends, I finally decided on the Nikon P-510. The picture quality and performance is unbelievable. I do not regret my purchase and would do this all over again as I believe I have purchased the finest camera in it's class!

Awesome zoom and fine piictures!
This camera is so impressive. The mega zoom is awesome and the pictures taken with the zoom are fine and have the balance and brightness.

Great Camera with so many extras
I have owned so many cameras but this is the best camera. It has everything that a person could want. There are some individuals that don't like the video portion but they just have to learn to use it right..
This camera as special effects when taking pictures that I have enjoyed and used many o them. I look forward to continuing to learn to use more of this camera's options and effects.

Excellent portability! See's Saturn!
I use this camera for reasons that should be done with a DSLR. The zoom helps me get the best picts from a safe distance in a war zone. I use manual settings for most of my shots. I included a picture of Saturn from a dark sky location. I used 1/80 shutter, 7.8 fstop and 1600 ISO on a Manfrotto tripod with a 10 second delay. For a point and shoot to reach out this far, is the reason why I do not have a DSLR and spare zooms. We had a mortor explode close by and the camera fell while attached to the tripod. The tripod 1/4" mount broke off the bottom plastic of the P510, so I epoxied the lower half of the camera back on. I would like to see a few changes in firmware. Allow full 8 sec shutter at any ISO. Add a RAW NEF or JPG choice. Allow digital zoom in Manual mode. Add a bulb function. Allow the screen to dim much more for night astrophotography. Add a finer focus control as the current one moves too course. Finally, make it in Gloss Yellow.

Moral of the story - Stick with Nikon
I've been a Nikon user for the past 25 years and have purchased several Nikon cameras, film and now digital. I recently read the specs of the Canon G1-X and bought it-and then took it back three days later and bought the P510.
I was looking for a smaller, but quality-speced camera to use when my Nikon Digital SLR with accessories was too bulky. The most important spec for me was an electronic viewfinder which the P510 has. Everything else is icing on the cake and their's lot of icing - 42x optical zoom, built in GPS, PSA and M modes, 16.1 MP sensor but having an electronic view finder was the big one! Photos are great-a perfect camera for what I was looking for and it's easy to use.

How many shots in an HDR photo?
Mar 23, 2012 by
Has staff answer
I read a review that said the P510 could take High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos by shooting two bracketed exposures in sequence, then combining them. Can it be set for more than two photos? If so, up to how many? I really like the HDR feature on my iPhone and would LOVE to use it on a real camera. Thanks very much.

DO you have a Diopter-Correcting Eye Cup or similar for the P 510 because the viewfinder is very poor ...
....poorly made and it is difficult to see through despite squeezing the nose. Even a soft rubber shoe (as used in Panasonic DMC FZ 50) would improve the very small view window.
Please answer as it is not fun to miss so many pictures because of the tiny viewfinder in hard plastic.

How to find the solution to play back recorded video on my computer ?
The video recording with P 510 worked good and replaying it on the camera is fine.

the replaying is disastrous with come and go and absolutely unacceptable and un-usable.
Please advise what is wrong as one of the main reasons to buy this camera was to get

P 510 came without protection, where to get a fitting camera bag ?
To use the camera often, there is the need of a light canvas camera bag, to
protect the camera when walking etc. Protection against sun light and overheating.
Sure I have cases and bags for other cameras, but the light weight P 510 needs something
easy and light and small enough.
Where to get a fitting one ? Best with Nikon label and made for this camera ?
