The COOLPIX P510, successor to the hugely popular COOLPIX P500, offers an astounding 42x optical NIKKOR zoom lens that ranges from a powerful 1000mm super-telephoto focal length, down to a 24mm wide-angle. It also packs a punch with its 16-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and advanced lens-shift vibration reduction. The P510 is able to capture detail that would be too far away to reach with any other camera. Steady shots are ensured in any situation, thanks to advanced lens-shift vibration reduction.

Zooming beyond expectations: the high performance COOLPIX P510
An excellent performer with unparalleled range, the compact COOLPIX P510 boasts a 42x zoom, a tiltable high resolution 921K-dot LCD monitor and Full HD (1080p) movie recording with stereo sound.
For everything from wide-angle shots of a group of friends to long-reaching frames of dolphins out at sea, the astonishingly powerful wide-angle to super-telephoto range of the COOLPIX P510 covers all circumstances. Its 16-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor and advanced lens-shift vibration reduction ensure sharp shooting in any light, so that even at longer focal lengths, frames remain steady and subjects are pin-sharp.
One-touch access to movie mode means you can switch easily from taking stills to filming in Full HD (1080p) with stereo sound. Optical zoom and autofocus functions are still available when filming, and the COOLPIX P510 can record in slow or fast motion using speeds of up to 120 fps (VGA). Movies can be shot in iFrame format and a built-in HDMI connector lets you connect the camera directly to an HDTV, to view photos and films straight away with family and friends.
The tiltable high resolution LCD monitor will help you discover your creative side, making it easy to take shots from above or below to get a different perspective. Built-in GPS records the exact location where a picture was taken as a geotag in the image data.
Advanced Lens-shift VRII realises the equivalent of a shutter speed setting that's four stops faster than the actual physical setting.

42x optical zoom and Nikon VRII image stabilisation
A 16.1 megapixel Back-illuminated CMOS image sensor is paired with a 42x zoom NIKKOR ED glass lens that covers the phenomenal focal range of 24 mm wide-angle to 1000 mm super-telephoto (35 mm format equivalent). Advanced Lens-shift VRII realises the equivalent of a shutter speed setting that's four stops faster than the actual physical setting. This is a big aid to achieving consistently sharp results, particularly when taking advantage of the super-zoom, shooting macros or recording 1080p Full HD movies.
The continuous shooting and compositing capabilities of the Back-illuminated CMOS image sensor helps you take beautiful Night landscape or Night portrait pictures while shooting with the camera in hand.

Optimised controls and designed for efficient handling
The 7.5 cm (3-in.) vari-angle 921k-dot (approx.) high-resolution Clear colour display can be tilted as much as 90 degrees (approx.) upward or 80 degrees (approx.) downward. You can assign often-used functions to the new Function button for quick one-touch access. The handgrip is designed to help minimise camera shake. And the body includes a side-mounted zoom control for stable handling.
High-speed continuous shooting helps capture all the action
The COOLPIX P510 keeps you ahead of the action with high-speed shooting options. With a press of the dedicated continuous shooting mode button, you can quickly switch from single-frame to High-speed continuous shooting at a rapid 6fps (approx.) for full-resolution (4608 x 3456) images*. Other modes include Sports continuous mode (approx. 60fps/120fps) and the Pre-shooting cache.
Beautiful handheld still images and movies at night
The continuous shooting and compositing capabilities of the Back-illuminated CMOS image sensor helps you take beautiful Night landscape or Night portrait pictures while shooting with the camera in hand. The same benefit is also seen when shooting 1080p Full HD movies.

I am not allowed a second review but as a follow-up to my review of three months ago I can say that this sensational camera has completely re-vitalised my photography. It is easy to run out of adjectives but one moment I am photographing a pin point sharp bee on a flower, the next moment a wonderful landscape and the next an express train passing the local station. I cannot stop taking pictures. I am like a 16 year old with a new toy rather than a 70 year old pensioner. I am absolutely thrilled by the product, I now know how to 'drive' it and all I can do is repeat, on 5 september 2012, my early June 'highly recommended' opinion. It is a great all-in-one package. Go for it!... Read more ›
My main interests are wildlife and macro photography. So small birds, their darting movements and indifferent light are my daily lot and the camera has proved equal to the task.
The zoom - well other reviwers have commented on its ability which is simply outstanding and the image stabilisation is equal to the task.
I have to admit to not yet mastering the capturing of movement yet but it is a still early days.
This is the first review I have written on Amazon inspite of being a regular customer for a number of years but I simply have to let other potential customers know what a great product Nikon have produced. If I can master the process I will try to add a few pictures I have taken.
Now for the dropped star in my rating.....
If you are considering this camera with the intention of using the video capabilities for anything other than shooting either stationary or very slowly-moving subjects not further than about half the zoom-range away - think again. When using in video mode the autofocus seems to suffer a nervous breakdown; to reiterate what others have already said, the video AF simply dozes in and out of focus and can take an age to achieve focus at all - it is in all honesty quite useless. I tried it with the camera mounted on a monopod and got diabolical results, goodness knows what it's like hand-held! Finally, when zooming (and indeed focusing) during video you are able to hear every whir, buzz and what sounds like tiny men inside the camera working pulleys - rendering any sound recorded unusable.
This AF problem is ONLY WITH VIDEO, in my somewhat limited experience; when using (as I intended when purchasing this camera)for still photography this camera is fantastic and you will very quickly grow to love it!... Read more ›
I have a holiday coming up where I do not want to take my SLR's but I want something a bit more versatile and better quality than my digital compact, for this the P510 is the perfect compromise.
I chose the Nikon because the superior quality in every Nikon other product I have bought has always been immedeatly apparent and the P510 does not dissapoint, I have the vibration reduction (VR) function on some of my SLR lenses so I was already aware of its advantages photographing at extreme zoom ranges.
16 megapixels? well theres all sorts of ideas upon how many megapixels you may need, personally for normal photoraphs I think 12 megapixels is loads, trouble is you pay for extra megapixels in storage space, but worse still in processing time, 16mp pictures are noticably slower to send to my printer than 12mp.
I found the eyepiece small and difficult to use and instantly missed my SLR, if you are looking at this camera rather than a compact then you probably take your photography a bit more seriously than most and I would urge you to look at an entry level Nikon SLR above this, it will cost a little more but you will find it more comfortable, faster and easy to use, dont forget SLR's have a fully automatic mode too!
If you are looking at this camera for the same reasons as me then go for it! early results are impressive, it is not as fast and comfortable to use as an SLR but it will be perfect for my forthcoming holiday.... Read more ›
It takes superb photographs.
I just need to read the manual now to get the most out of it.
I am not in any way a camera boffin and with this in mind after a lot of research chose... Read more
