I decided to upgrade my camera, and took a big leap of faith, to get this type, I have to admit it's as fantastic piece of kit. It does everything I want a camera to do and more. The picture quality is great, and is easy to use modes are great for a novice.

Brought this camera as a replacement for the previous model which was lost. Camera takes good pictures and is easy to use. The electronic viewfinder is a must in strong sunlight. It's a shame the adjustable LCD screen has been deleted from this model.

The Nikon COOLPIX P530 is a super-zoom camera with a 42x range extending from a 24mm wide-angle to 1000mm super-telephoto. It has a 16 Megapixel CMOS sensor and offers full PASM exposure control in addition to full auto.

43x stabilized optical zoom; Lots of movie modes including slomo; Respectable and versatile burst modes; Interval timer; Programmable Fn button

Unresponsive menu; Video recording lag; No GPS or Wifi

Lived up to everything I read about it. The pictures are fantastic and there are so many features I'm still learning about the camera. The only drawback it that the battery charges in the camera. I solved this problem by purchasing an additional battery and charger. Overall, Love it!

Meets the specification but no guarantee supplied

I was originally going to buy the canon powershot sx510 hs, but when i went to the store i noticed this camera was on sale. It had more features, and better picture quality than the canon. it also had a digital viewfinder which is handy for taking pictures outside.

Bridge cameras such as Nikon's P530 get lumped in with the compact camera category, which can seem a little odd when you consider their overall body size.
