Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the excellent picture quality and ease of use of the COOLPIX B500 16.0-Megapixel Digital Camera. Many appreciate its compact size, lightweight design, and the convenient Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities. Positive feedback also highlights the camera's vibrant colors and features. However, some users point out that the battery life could be improved, and that the autofocus may need some adjustment.

    Good camera for the price, can't complain! Picks up colors nicely and pics come out pretty clear. I like that I can take pics in a dark room and they still come out nice and bright.

    I guess for the price it is a good camera but when it is cold it’s hard to use. And when taking photos with the flash you have to wait for the picture to finish loading to see the real photo and before you can take another photo. This is definitely for someone who is a beginner

    This is a great camera for the price. Shoots great pics and videos, has good editing options, and Best Buy had a color that I couldn't find in any other store locally! Bought it for my gf and she loves it!

    Great long zoom, step-up from basic point-n-shoot

    I'm an old school SLR (remember film?) user - no longer wanting or needing to get technical, but wanted enough features to play with and achieve great results. Size was convenient for travel. Resolution, optics are good. Autofocus is a bit sluggish, but I learned to work with it. The adjustable screen viewer is a handy feature. Panorama feature seemed a bit wonky at times, but it's probably user error. I typically use it for travel photos, better-than-snaphots of events and friends, etc. For the price, it fits the bill. Happy with it.

    After linking my camera to download it continued to drain the batteries dead. I had to replace the batteries 4 times on our trip to Ireland. Will not transfer the videos to the app!!! I am very disappointed in this camera!
