  • Nice camera at a nice price.
Color: Black
I wanted a camera that took good pictures, without requiring a lot of fiddling with adjustments and without breaking the bank. This camera has filled the niche for me. The camera has several settings that are automatic , which cover different photo situations. The “Smart Scene” is your go to automatic option. It works well most all situations, whether normal or long distance. The “Macro” for up close on small objects works nice too. In the photos I attached, the flower was taken on Macro. This flower was about 3/4 of an inch wide. The lizard in the photo, was about 5-6 inches long and I took the picture from 20 feet away, with the camera set on Smart Scene. I was impressed that it took such a good picture of a small object, from so far away. The zoom is great. The camera isn’t too bulky and the weight is good. I carried it around my neck for three long days of checking out a zoo, an aquarium and a museum. Battery life was good too. I took a lot of pics and never changed batteries. On that note, it uses 4 AA batteries. I like this as opposed to a rechargeable battery, as you can throw extra batteries in your pocket and switch them out n the fly if the camera dies. Here are the cons: The auto focus can take several seconds to resolve itself. Not a deal breaker, but can be irritating. The flash will not auto deploy. You must manually extend it, if you think flash may be needed. I just left it up while inside. Other than that, the camera is great. It took a little practice and trial and error, but after about 45 min, I had it down. I can definitely recommend this camera. ... show more

  • Great camera for travel
Color: Black
I bought this camera because my husband and I were taking a trip up to Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan and I wanted a camera that would produce better quality pictures than my cell phone and would also have a great zoom. After spending hours online reading reviews I decided on the this camera and I am SO glad I did. My top criteria were for a camera that would have high quality pictures, great zoom, and ease of use. The camera is easy to use, takes minimal set-up (which you can link to your phone and do all of the set up on the app on your phone) and it takes gorgeous pictures. I tested the camera out before we left, using different types of modes and playing with the zoom and on our trip we got some phenomenal pictures (it helps the subject is one of the most beautiful places in the US). I took about 200 pictures and the battery life still shows as full and only two pictures came out blurry (both were of deer that moved at the last second). The zoom is incredible as well. I zoomed pretty far with the picture of the sailboat and it turned out beautifully. ... show more

  • Good beginner camera
Color: Black
I bought this Nikon Coolpix B500 Digital Camera for my 15 year old granddaughter. She had expressed an interest in photography and been using an old digital point and shoot that we had given her several year earlier. She felt limited by the point and shoot's image quality and lack of features. Since opening this on Christmas 2022, she has been making some amazing photographs. She really has an eye for subject matter and composition. The camera lens is amazingly sharp, so her pictures easily stand up to enlargement many times over. The zoom is so good she has taken excellent pictures of the moon where the craters are clearly visible. She has even done some macro photography with this camera, so it's very versatile. One thing I don't like about it, and it's a personal preference, is that it does not allow for interchangeable lenses. Fortunately, as I said, the lens on it is amazingly sharp, so for most situations, it will work well. I just like having options. This camera also works with SnapBridge, a Nikon software program for it's cameras. The camera doesn't have all the bells and whistles of my D850, but it's only a fraction of the price, and for what you pay, you get an excellent beginner camera. ... show more

  • The screen can be tilted. So you can take pictures with the camera on straps from your chest.
Color: Plum
Very easy to operate. Like the remote use from smartphone and WiFi transfer of photos to your phone. Like batteries AA. Use Lithium 1.5V rechargeable batteries. The weight makes it harder to shake, when you push the button to take a picture. With the tiltable screen, you can shoot from your chest. Good zoom range 40X optical. Would like larger light sensitivity lens. ... show more

  • Nikon camera
Color: Black
Let me start by saying the vendor provided very fast shipping and the camera was packaged beautifully. That said, the camera itself was a disappointment. The outside condition was very nice, however, the battery compartment showed obvious signs of previous corrosion and when I put batteries in it and tried to power it on, I got only a message that said to "power it off and then on again". It would not get past that message. I have returned this item for refund. ..I could not bring myself to give 5 stars because of the issues with the camera itself, but, also could not give lower than 3 because the vendor themselves were great.. ... show more

  • This is a truly revolutionary camera with all the features hard to believe. I fell in love with it.
Color: Black
This is a truly revolutionary camera with all the features easy to explain. Once you buy it, you'll get hooked on it. Every time you rotate the menu button on top of the camera, the screen will help you read the message and help you understand the purpose of each menu. You probably will not need an instruction book because the camera will explain in simple language. This is why it’s very difficult for me to return it. By the way, don't drop it for your sake. If you did, then you'll scream because it's very fragile. ... show more
