Nikon Coolpix P510 Review
By Josh Fate
Review posted 05/15/2012
If you're not quite ready for a dSLR (perhaps it's a budget issue, or confidence), but want quality glass, advanced optics, and the ability to shoot across great distances; then you might want to consider the Nikon Coolpix P-series. The new flagship is the P510, which features an astounding 42x optical zoom lens (with a 1000mm zoom in 35mm terms). Because you can shoot so far, Nikon has included Advanced Optical Vibration Reduction image stabilization technology.
