I have had two Fuji film cameras and have had enough of there problems. So I switched to Nikon to give them a try, we will find out much later I am sure but as of now I am impressed!
The Nikon Coolpix B500 is a bridge camera with a 16 megapixel sensor, which is paired with a 40x optical zoom. You can also activate a digital zoom up to 80x. It offers a range of shooting modes, but there's no manual control, and it can't shoot in raw format.
The Nikon Coolpix B500 is an ultra zoom bridge camera, with a 40x optical zoom lens, 16 megapixel sensor, a tilting 3inch screen, and built in Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth. The Nikon Coolpix B500 is available in a number of different colours, and takes AA batteries.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built-in; Good battery life; FullHD video with stereo sound; 9fps continuous shooting; Tilting 3inch screen; Good grip and handling
Video focus struggles at the telephoto end; Image quality is poor at the telephoto end; Low-resolution panoramic shots
I bought this camera on Saturday and took about 5 pictures just to try it out. Sunday morning I turned it on and it says, "Turn camera off and then on again." I did this about a dozen times and decided that's all the camera is going to do.
Pretty
It's an expensive paperweight
Picture quality is good with good zoom capability. The reason why i am not giving 5 star is, The build in WiFi wont work without Snapbridge app(in android). I couldnt try this bacause my phone runs on android 4.2(android 5.0 or later is required for Snapbridge)
My other Nikon conked out two days before a cruise; I bought this as a last-minute substitute because it had a nice zoom feature, and felt light and easy to use. The only drawback, and it's one I should have noticed, is the lack of a viewfinder, which makes shooting in bright light impossible.
