Nikon COOLPIX P520 Digital Camera (Black)
The Nikon COOLPIX P520 is a high-performance bridge camera designed for photographers who want the massive reach of a super-telephoto lens without the weight of a DSLR system. Featuring a stunning 42x optical zoom and an 18.1MP backside-illuminated CMOS sensor, this camera excels at everything from sweeping landscapes to detailed wildlife photography. With integrated GPS and professional-style manual controls, it is a versatile companion for travel and outdoor exploration.
Exceptional Optics and Reach
42x Zoom NIKKOR Lens: The expansive 4.3-180mm lens provides a focal range that covers nearly every shooting scenario. Whether you’re capturing wide group shots or zooming in on distant subjects, the P520 delivers sharp results.
Lens-Shift Vibration Reduction (VR): To ensure clarity at high zoom levels, Nikon’s advanced VR technology compensates for camera shake. The specialized ACTIVE mode is included to stabilize the viewfinder and captured images when shooting from moving vehicles or unstable positions.
18.1MP BSI CMOS Sensor: The backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor is designed to capture more light than traditional sensors, providing superior performance in low-light conditions and “Night Landscape” modes.
Versatile Display and Video
3.2″ Vari-Angle LCD Display: The high-resolution (921K-dot) screen flips out and rotates, allowing you to easily compose shots from creative high or low angles.
Full HD Video with Stereo Sound: Capture cinematic 1080/60i video with the press of a button. The integrated microphone records high-quality stereo audio to complement your high-definition footage.
Travel-Ready Features
Built-in GPS and POI: Track your adventures with an onboard database of approximately 1.86 million Points of Interest. The camera automatically records the location of every shot, which can later be viewed on map software like ViewNX 2.
Wireless Capability: The P520 is compatible with the WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter (sold separately), enabling instant photo sharing and remote camera control via your smartphone or tablet.
Ergonomics and Control
Pro-Style Handling: An ergonomic handgrip and side zoom control provide maximum stability. Frequently used functions can be assigned to a dedicated Function (Fn) button for rapid access.
Manual & Auto Modes: Transition from the “Scene Auto Selector” for effortless shooting to full P/S/A/M manual exposure modes and manual focus for total creative control.
