    Love this camera. Easy to use. Perfect for the person who wants to take great pictures, doesn’t want a crazy complicated camera, and prefers to not take pictures with their cellphone.

    I recently bought this camera and used it for the first time in Tahoe. The pictures came out good although not as good as I would've thought. However, that could be my fault. I was messing around with the settings to test them out and may bot have used the best ones for the photos I took. When I got home I realized hat there was a whole other section of settings that I somehow missed. Im very happy with the camera overall given the price and ease if use. So far so good.

    A Camera That Has Provided Treasured Memories

    After the birth of my first great-grand son in 2017, photo and video sessions have been non-stop. We have everything from photos of his first day in the hospital with tightly shut eyes in the funny hat, to video of him taking those first steps around the kitchen island, to splashing in water puddles on his first rainy day outside. These are precious, irreplaceable moments and my Nikon B500 made them all possible. I LOVE THIS CAMERA!

    It's kind of a basic camera in a fancy chassis. The zoom is nice but takes too long to auto focus. The snapbridge app doesn't really work as well as it was advertised. Probably could have spent half as much for the same functionality.

    Bought this particular camera for a vacation in Ireland. I knew I needed a camera for both photos and video and this Nikon Cool Pix camera worked beautifully. The zoom feature allows for some unbelievable photographs. Wish the video feature recorded the audio a little better, but I'm hoping an external audio mic will fix that. The neck strap is a little chintzy so beware when wearing camera, as the weight will eventually pull the strap loose from the camera.
