I bought this camera to take kayaking for nature photography. I didn't want to bring my expensive Nikon and lens. I am really pleased with the results. I often take it with me when I don't want to lug around a heavy 500 MM lens. I particularly like the flexible, bright view finder.

great price; nice pictures; great to carry around

I would have liked a viewfinder in bright light

: No frills, but the Nikon B500 serves a useful purpose for a reasonable price

Affordable; Great battery life; Huge zoom

No viewfinder; AA batteries; Middling image quality

THIS IS THE BEST STYLE OF CAMERA AND NOT LIKE A BRICK. VERY LIGHT EASY TO USE THE DESIGN IS OUTSTANDING. THE ZOOM IS OUT STANDIIG AND ALSO THE MACRO.

This is a good camera for beginners. Its pretty basic and doesnt really have a lot of bells and whistles that ppl look for but its ok. I like the fact that I can have photos sent to my phone and transfer them to social media if I wanted to.

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

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.

Nice camera to buy for a low price... It is giving Excellent performance till now. Zoom is awesome but needs a stable hand Low light pictures also nice. Very nice bridge camera, a semi DSLR Prestalled editing feature is nice

I bought this camera so that I could take better long-distance photos with the higher-power optical zoom, and it works just fine for that purpose. I also wanted a camera that would work on AA batteries, since these batteries are plentiful and can be purchased almost anywhere.

Sorry the video has music playing. I don't know how to directly contact sellers as I'm new to amazon and the app so if you guys could reach out to me that would be great. As you can see in the video the camera doesn't turn on when I click the power button unless I do it a few times then eventually...
