Nikon Coolpix P500

Weighing 494 grams, the Nikon Coolpix P 500 is slightly heavier than the P100, but the design, but something different. In high-end super-zoom, Nikon P 500 typically looking bridge with a thick stem, large flash lens, pop-ups and electronic viewfinder. Grip shape to fit comfortably in your right hand and rubber for maximum comfort. 


Another part of the dominant P 500, of course, the increase is the 32x 22.5 mm high 810 mm width 35 mm format. By reflex, you'll need at least 3-4 glasses to cover the same focal length, the internal P 500 Nikon lenses are still defined as very close, even if it does not grow much more telephoto. Super Zoom always had the reputation of being "fun factor" P 500 and more different. The ability to quickly move from ultra-wide angle lens to take steps to scrutinize. Be sure to have a kind of freedom you feel different types of cameras. 

Your size, P 500, the standard pretty quickly, with a maximum width of the gap D f/3.4 / 5.7 and 22.5 mm to 810 mm. Note that the end of the cover lens of the camera before the need - to do otherwise, an error on and off camera, but "boring but if you just want to check what is already on the card and allows you. Run P 500, with buttons for play, in this case, the objective was not to be extended. 


Fortunately, Nikon has incorporated vibration reduction (VR), for the kingdom, an important feature of the camera to avoid them. Curiously, although the Nikon VR system optical motion detectors based SLR climate in P 500. The image stabilizer makes a huge difference to the sharpness of the image, as shown in the example on the page. 

 

 You can hear a slight whirring mechanical sound when it is lit, but otherwise you really have not noticed, except that you can use slower shutter speeds than normal and still take sharp photos. Unfortunately, no dedicated button to turn off VR - but at least indicate that appears negative impact on battery life, the camera manages approximately 220 photos with the Li-ion is available. It is always a good idea to turn off VR (via the menu) when the camera mounted on a tripod, for fear of the system itself cause the device blur attempt to address this is not there.


Zooming is done through traditional zoom lever sits around the shutter button on the right handle. A variety of double speed turning back and forth will adjust the focal length quickly, and turning their lens will advance more slowly, allowing you to adjust the focal length of your choice with greater precision . You can also zoom using the zoom control and innovative side of the lens barrel, which is activated rocker vertical shift with your left hand. It is an act more slowly than the main zoom lever, and therefore ideal for shooting videos when you need to zoom calmer with less mechanical noise.

Unfortunately, no eyes proximity sensors enable the camera to automatically transfer between the two - you must press the button whenever you want that to happen. The electronic viewfinder is a bog standard affair with 230,000 points and average power, nothing to write home about, especially in 2011. The three-inch LCD screen on the back of a much more enjoyable to watch, thanks to its high resolution of 921,000 points. More importantly, it is hinged and can swing up or down, you introduce flexibility within your photos. free-angle LCD would be true, can also be turned on its side, that's even better if.


Not the arrangement and number of external controls has changed much since the P100. You still get dial traditional method, mounted on top of the P, A, MS and shooting modes - perfect for the photographer who wants to take full control - and completely alone, Scene Auto Selector, Smart Portrait, Night Portrait, Night Scenery and backlight modes. There is also a user (U) parameter you can use to quickly find a mix of your most frequently used settings. The shutter, zoom lever is and the power button is essentially the same places on the P100, went through a new button for continuous shooting.
