WOW!!! I cannot believe how good the 1,000mm is!! I was skeptical at first, but was blown away when the 1,000mm sample opened!! Bravo Nikon!!

Most photos are taken at ISO 100. That review can be done in this case?????????????????????????????????? (Google translate)

They’re good shots - I particularly like the guy with his bum hanging out. One day he’ll look back at that and say ‘what was i thinking!!’

These samples impressed me enough to order one.
Apart from a bit of softness at the edges, my eyes think this camera may be a gem.

Given the focal length provided and those 16MP, I’m actually surprised that it didn’t end up giving paint like photos, ISO 100 has a bit of that over cooked look, but nothing too serious, ISO 800 looks usable and optic issues are well controlled. Perhaps the major issue is the limited dynamic range :/

Those 1000mm ... that’s more than my telescope >_>

Video looks smooth and sharp, focus hunts a bit and dynamic range issues are easily noticeable (though it looks like it was quite sunny).

That aside it seems like a nice camera for family vacations. However, if one is looking into photography more seriously, there are better cameras.

My son’s 23 birthday happens to be coming up in a few short weeks.  He had previously indicated that he wanted in new Invicta watch as a present.  This morning he called and said he wanted the Nikon P510 instead.  Is he taking up my hobby or is it the 40something bikini wearing MILF that moved in next door.  Please PB readers, let’s take a vote

I already have the camera . . . and it’s true, the 1000 mm is really good.

Jackie,

If you want to take pictures of the moon, buy a telescope (that’s probably the hardest part) and use a cheap camera (Canon A800 for example) on it… I did it with my 80€ telescope… got some quite nice pictures with it :]

Hi Jackie, I have a Meade Starnavigator 114 telescope and I have been trying to take photos of the moon, but when I recently got my Nikon P510 camera I was able to take some great photos of the moon just using the camera. Im very pleased with them.

If anyone wants to attach a lens filter and a lens hood use a lens adapter used for nikon p500 .Thats what i have seen online .If there is any other way one knows let me know . I can see neither of the top cameras can have a lens hood ,etc attached to the directly .Only the Canon Canon PowerShot SX40 has the facility .Also shocking is that non of the top 3 bridge camera brands ,that have big zooms ,can shoot in raw .Only thee Panasonic Lumix FZ150 can shoot in raw but it has only 600mm range .It can be noted that Panasonic Lumix FZ150 is the best rated camera for being very fast focusing and getting good photos . The best photo quality goes to Sony Cybershot but it doesent have raw . With canon one can get good photos at even 1600ISO but it doesent have raw also . If someone does not mind slow starts then go for the very cheap Kodak Easyshare Max Z990 .That also has raw in it and it shoots good photos . If you want the distance then go for this Nikon 510 . This one also takes good photos at any distance .But Its very unfortunate that this either does not have raw .

            Good Luck

This Nikon P510 makes movies in MOV, incompatible with the Windows Movie Maker, and so, you can not edit the film to pass them on Youtube. You will only see at home. Converters on the market MOV to WMV, have problems and ruin the movie. The Nikon support does not solution. Good to know ...

if you want to use filter with P510, you have to buy 58mm Adapter Ring / Adaptor Ring for Nikon P510 or KIWI lens adapter for Nikon COOLPIX P510 Digital Camera 67mm. The fist one mounted as a lense cap 51 mm to 58 mm. The KIWI mounted to unmoving body of obiective and consist of 2 parts 51 mm to 67 mm and 67 mm extender for macrolens/ I got it both from ebay.

thanks for the review.
1.the sample pics r 2 big,no real reason 4 that
2.the 100 iso shot r really ok with all camera,waste of time,the high iso is the problematic area .
