Review: I read all the reviews on desertcart and other photography sites, I compared all the Nikon P models...the p510, p520, p530 etc. overall this had the best ratings across all the sites, and best overall feedback. Not too mention it was an amazing price on desertcart. I received the camera, used it for some sporting events, two indoor birthday parties, and also for some videos. Overall it is an amazing camera, and takes great pictures. Focus is a little slow when zoomed out far, but this camera has a very powerful zoom, so any zoom would have a difficult time focusing with such a powerful zoom. Going from pictures to video is simple and easy, and the flip screen is a great extra that I love.
Review: An excellent, almost utterly outstanding camera! Fantastic low-light capability -- I really didn't think you could get a 42X zoom and low-light capability like this on a digital camera. 42X zoom is probably a bit of an overkill -- it's there if you want it, however. I'm still getting used to it, so I know I'm missing some of the finer points of the camera. I purchased this particular model for the GPS capability, which is pretty good, especially when the camera is used outdoors. I'm hoping that the software can be updated with a few tweaks: 1) Capability to turn off the "Power-on" sound -- you can change the graphics, but I haven't found a way to turn the sound off. Depending on the venue, it could be a bit distracting. 2) GPS is captured in a "Degrees / Minutes / Seconds" format -- I would like to see the capability of displaying a "Degrees / Minutes.decimals" format. 3) Would like to see the GPS info available for display on the screen, as well as being added to the picture. Right now, the GPS info is recorded as part of the picture's file properties. Also, if you modify the file, you lose the GPS info. All my previous digital cameras have been of the pocket, "Point and Shoot" variety. Sure, they had their positive points, but they were limited in true picture-taking capabilities. This camera takes on some size and weight, but it gives you so much more in picture quality. No, it's not a thousand-dollar camera, and it won't fit in your pocket, but for me, it's now my standard go-to camera. If you don't need the GPS capability, I would recommend the Coolpix P530 camera, or its follow-on. Highly recommended -- you won't be disappointed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: ¿Raw?**
A: no raw

**Q: When I shoot in the sports mode, the monitor goes black.  Is that supposed to happen?  I only get 7 shots in a sequence.  Is there a way to get more?**
A: The Sports setting is a sub-setting of Scene mode, in which the camera makes most decisions for you and leaves you with limited ability to change the settings. With Sports, the P520 sets itself for continuous shooting in a burst of 7 shots.  If you want to have more than 7 shots in a sequence, you would have to use a different shooting mode, such as Program, and then select continuous shooting from the Shooting menu, choosing the L option for up to 30 shots at high quality but lower speed, or one of the super-high-speed options for 60 shots at a very fast speed, but much lower quality.  The monitor goes black because there is not enough time to keep refreshing it with the live view during the continuous shooting.

**Q: Does this camera come with video in MP4 format?**
A: I checked the various options for movies, but although there are a number of resolution settings, I didn't see where .mp4 format was an option.  The format that my camera is currently using is .mov

**Q: What settings should i use for clicking pictures at night?**
A: The Nikon Coolpix 520 has a "Night Mode" option. Just choose the "Scene Selector then choose the "Night Portrait Mode."

### ⭐ Review
*by R***S on 29 January 2014*

I picked up this camera as a Christmas gift for my wife. The first few shots out of the box were great - mostly stills, between 3 and 15 feet away, indoors with ideal lighting. If that's the kind of photography you're planning on doing, this is your camera. Outdoor shots, less than ideal lighting, or anything requiring even minimal zoom were basically worthless. This camera will not focus in dim or dark lighting, and will not focus when zoomed. We even tried a tripod, but it just couldn't handle it. Kind of a shame - the zoom lens on this camera is pretty impressive, but the software just isn't up for the job. My iPhone camera blows away the P520 in most situations. We gave this thing an honest try for about 3 weeks, then ordered a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200. The plan was to do a side-by-side comparison of the two and return the lesser camera. The Lumix blew away the Coolpix in every single area. Crisp, clear shots day or night, zoomed or close up, handheld or tripod. Needless to say the Coolpix P520 was returned a week or so after we got the Lumix. This camera WILL disappoint you - I definitely would not recommend it.
