Customer Ratings & Reviews

easy to use, portable and easy to carry. use double A battery which could be replaced easily.

I got this camera just before a trip to Yellowstone, since I knew my phone could not capture distant wildlife. I am not a camera nerd by any means, but this camera was easy to operate and fulfilled all my hopes in terms of image quality. The zoom was awesome, almost as good as quality binoculars. I also like that the AA batteries can be easily replaced. One problem I have not figured out is how to capture videos and download them. Thought I had done it but they seem to be gone, so that aspect seems a bit tricky. All in all, for the price it’s a great camera.

My wife love to take thousands of pictures, this camera has excellent quality!!!

I love this camera. I've had one for 7-8 years now. Although, I gave my grandson my old one, because he needed one. So, I just bought another one. It's a great, easy to use camera. Takes great pictures.

I love this camera and how there’s so many options. The Bluetooth is the Best!

It's a great camera purchased for me to take high quality photos as a beginner

I am a novice photographer and wanted something easy to get started with. After reading countless reviews on this camera on both Best Buy and other webites, I decided to purchase it as a stepping stone between a fancy camera and basic one. It has a lot of bells and whistles that I will have to learn more about, but the pictures I have taken are incredible. They are everything I hoped for and more. The zoom is amazing and the clarity is so crisp, even with extended view shots. The pictures are crisp in the dark and the action mode has been a treat as well. I am anxious to put it on a tripod and take nature photos of birds, flowers, foliage, and other wildlife during my hiking trips.

This is a nice beginner camera, it has wifi so your able to connect with your phone so you can transfer pictures over very nice feature. With the long zoom your able to get good close up pictures of things far away. I recommend this camera it's a nice point and shoot.

Picture quality is good. Easy to use. The only down fall is the lens cover. It is not attached to anything. Real easy to loose. Other than that this camera is well worth the expense.

I have really enjoyed taking pictures with this camera. It is easy to use.

This camera is so fun! It's easy to use and takes great quality pictures! The wide lens and extra zoom make it easy to take great pictures from far away. I am very happy with my choice. The plum color is beautiful, too!

Nikon - COOLPIX B500 16.0-Megapixel Digital Camera - Plum is a fun camera

This purchase was for my wife as a birthday gift. She needed a new camera to mostly take close up pictures of medium to small items she lists on ebay. According to her it does a fantastic job on the mini pictures. Only negative is the bluetooth connection will not work for laptops or desktops. It is only works for phones to transfer the pictures and the usb cable is required for laptops. This was a disappointment and was not "Clearly" defined on the camera descriptions or specifications. We discovered this after reading the online manual! This is the only reason the camera was not rated excellent!

I personally enjoy the camera and is easy to use as well as move around.

Got this camara for my daughter. It has lots of settings and she loves it. She is having fun playing with all the settings and loves that she can send the pictures to her computer. She had an older nikon and loves all the improvements this one has...

Very happy with the camera so far. The zoom lens is great. Awesome pics.

Have been nothing but impressed with this camera. Its the perfect size to have with you on trips or vacation. Takes great pictures and doesn't sacrifice resolution in order to keep it small and lightweight. Only thing that keeps it from 5 stars from me: Doing anything with the digital zoom. It just takes too long to get into focus in auto mode. Missed a lot of good pictures when the camera is trying to focus. (Not a problem if you stay in the optical zoom range.)

I like the camera. It's not great at taking close up pictures, but I am impressed with the zoom and the quality of the pictures that come from the zoom. It is relatively easy to use, though it is hard taking pictures through glass (it is like that in general though).

Gave as a gift for a beginner..it was perfect and takes beautiful pics

Great camera for beginners. I bought it for my 12 yr old son. It is very easy to use, not complicated at all. It has amazing features, like the phone app that allows you to transfer photos from your camera to your phone. It’s a perfect starter camera.
