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.

Meets the specification but no guarantee supplied

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!

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.

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

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.

Tengo muchísimos años usando las Nikon y soy un autentico fan..y compré la P520 por su maravilloso zoom y los 18.1megapixeles...todo muy bien pero...no le puedo poner un filtro UV, no sólo por el filtro sino por protección del lente y esto no es posible, rayar el lente acaba con la cámara y dañar un...

I am a very amateur photographer, but I have been very impressed with this camera. I was especially excited when I was able to get clear, close-up pictures of the moon, since all of my previous (point-and-shoot) cameras could only make the moon look like a bright little speck of light in the corner...
