The Nikon Coolpix P500 is a fully featured digital camera. If you are looking for plenty of zoom power then the Coolpix P500 could be the camera for you. This is because it has a 36x zoom lens. This gives you the scope to zoom in on most distant subjects. The lens offers you a great deal of flexibility. It has a minimum focal length of 22.5mm (35mm equivalent) giving you extra wide angle capabilities. On top of that it is able to focus from 1cm away from your subject in macro mode. As you might expect with a lens of this length Nikon have built vibration reduction or image stabilisation into the Coolpix P500.

Other features worth mentioning are a full set of manual exposure controls including aperture priority and shutter priority. You can also reel off still photos at a rate of 5 frames per second with the Coolpix P500.

For composing photos there is a 3 inch LCD screen. The main attraction of the screen is that you can vary the angle it is at. This helps when you are in awkward shooting positions.

You can shoot High Definition movies too. The maximum movie resolution is 1080p. This gives your movies a bit of extra quality over and above the move standard resolution on offer with most digital cameras.
