The Nikon Coolpix P520 is going to offer a 42X optical zoom lens with a maximum telephoto setting of 1000mm. This is a very impressive feature that you aren't going to find on a lot of cameras. There are some aspects of the that aren't able to match its other high-end features, though.

I ordered it 3days before going to Jim Corbett and to my surprise it came to me in just 2 days. Was too happy to get it so early but it was just the beginning of surprises.

I loved the speed and hand balance of the P520. However, when photographing, the monitor does not show the view from through the lens and this had to be constantly accounted for otherwise I lost the front or back of what I was shooting.

Easy to use; Build quality

Bulky; Battery life

"good product"

I have used this camera for about 3 weeks, the camera is real easy to use right out of the box. I have taken some night time pictures with good result. I would recommend a good tripod for night time shooting as a steadier platform. The zoom feature is great !
