It looks and feels the goods.
22.5-810mm focal length is extremely versatile
Picture quality is good in bright light
Controls and ergonomics are impressive
Ridiculously long 36x optical zoom. Comes in a gorgeous cherry red version. Quick
Responsive autofocus. Great LCD screen. Incredibly wide lens

Dislike
The 36X zoom lens is absurd. No human can hand hold a lens steady at 810mm
And even with the built in vibration reduction the hand held shots are blurred. To make matters worse there is image softness at both ends of the zoom range. Of the 120 t
High ISO performance is disappointing
Lens is soft at telephoto lengths and is poor at maximum zoom
No hotshoe. Short battery life. Electronic image stabilisation in video mode not effective. Patchy image quality at telephoto end. Poor video quality

The P500 will suit a photographer who values plenty of features, an electronic viewfinder and an incredibly long zoom rather than impeccable image quality....

Nikon's Coolpix P500 is a camera with a huge zoom lens -- its 36x zoom is one of the biggest we've seen on any stills camera. It's versatile thanks to this range, with a landscape-friendly 22.5mm wide angle and a stalkerish 810mm maximum zoom. We think it...
Abstract: Designed to appeal to amateur photographers who want an easy-to-carry camera that can cover most subjects and shooting situations, the Coolpix P500 is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It is offered in two colours: traditional black and a very...
Abstract: The 12.1-megapixel Nikon COOLPIX P500 ($399.95, MSRP) is an integral lens camera with an incredible zoom range of 36x—that’s optical, not digital zoom and it gives you the equivalent angle of view of a wide-angle 22.5mm to a super tele of 810mm! The ...
The Nikon P500 is a worthy successor to the P100. While it is lacking some features that I think would push it over the top (e.g. RAW image capture, HD slow motion, etc.), it still has a lot to offer. All in all, the P500 is a solid performer as a c...
So the Coolpix P500 performed horribly in our color accuracy test, especially for a Nikon. But here’s the thing: during our time with the camera, the images produced were actually very attractive. If you’d handed us sample photos from this model befor...
Nikon's CoolPix P500 has gone above and beyond in the world of Mega-Zoom digicams. Introducing its 36x Nikkor optical zoom lens, it has surpassed everyone with its amazing range. Assisting this incredible zoom lens is a 12.1 backside illuminated CMOS i...
