    I have a mirror less , for real high quality. This has an awesome zoom. That I cam't get without a lot of money for the other camera. This does run on AA. I am amazed at the battery life. I am still using the original batters. Hundreds of photos and video and still going strong. Takes really nice photos. Can't beat this at the price.

    We took this Point & shoot camera on a European River Boat cruise and it takes great pictures. Great Zoom! The pictures were so good even zoomed out a bit, that we put a couple of pics on canvas and they look like they were taken professionally. Love it and would definitely recommend !!

    This is my first camera purchase since 2008, when I was in 8th grade. I never thought I would like a camera better than my smartphone camera, but for starting out, this camera is great. Zoom quality is strong and colors are pretty vibrant. Definitely recommend!

    I wish I had ever received the product to review. I prepaid and went back like 5 times when told every time on backorder and eventually told not coming in. I only went to store when they told me it would be in each time. Wasted my gas, money, time, aggravation, and my son's time. Wouldn't sell me floor model, yet wouldn't take it down despite I was eventually told they would never get product back

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I've taken some pretty decent pictures with this camera. I wish the video capabilities were a little better. It would be nice to be able to wireless connect it to my computer for use as a monitor.

    I actually had this for almost 2 years now and it still works great. I’m just starting out on taking pictures, this is my first camera and I say it’s definitely worth buying especially as your first camera. It has many different options on taking pictures and it easily connects to my phone which is cool. I love it

    The Nikon Coolpix B500 digital camera is very easy to use. It operates like similar digital cameras on the market. The only drawback is the instruction or owners manual that may come with a new camera. You have to download it from the Nikon website

    Great camera for the price. I bought mine when it was the deal if the day. It takes great pics. My only dislike is that the screen is not front facing for doing selfies, vlogs, etc. Either way great buy.

    Handy. Neat. Functional. This is my second digital camera but the first that is this 'big'. I found it easy to use and get around. It's still early days but I am pleased so far.

    I was not aware that this was a refurbished camera when I ordered it, and a good thing- I would have missed a good bargain! I have used it for several photo shoots and it works great. It was missing the original packaging, as a refurbished product, but otherwise I have no complaints and find it works very well. One thing that could be better- it has a great zoom capacity, but doesn't seem to have any kind of stabilization- so zoom shots will be blurry unless you stabilize the camera or have a super steady hand
