Very Nice Camera!,
I bought both the Nikon p510 camera and the Sony hx200v camera to see which I prefer. I took numerous pictures with both, but decided to keep the Nikon p510. Although both cameras took very nice pictures, I liked the way that people shots came out with the Nikon p510, especially indoors. The Nikon p510 seems to give a nice “matte” finish to skin shots and with a bit more color, whereas the Sony hx200v showed/emphasized more skin flaws. Also, indoor pics with the Sony were inconsistent – sometimes too yellow, and other times too white (overexposed). Although the Sony hx200v does have a “soft skin” setting, I felt it looked too unnatural (gave the skin too much of a porcelain doll finish). Also, the Nikon p510 seems to handle indoor pics better where there is a lot of backlight. Outdoor pics are nice with both cameras, but again I preferred the people pics with the Nikon p510 (the outdoor people pics taken with the Sony were more neutral toned). The only reason I give this review 4 stars is because the zoom can be a bit flaky when trying to focus with maximum zoom, in particular on small objects such as birds; sometimes it would focus right away, but a lot of times I had to keep adjusting the zoom before it decided to focus. Yet, I haven’t had this problem with other types of pictures.
4/22/12 update: I think I found the solution to the problem I had with zooming on small objects. Pg 72 of the disc manual (“Using Focus Modes”) talks about how to change focus modes. It seems that when I change the focus to “infinity”, it focuses on the subject a lot quicker. I’m still going to play with this setting a bit more, but so far it seems to have helped. Also, after reading page 73 (“Available Focus Modes”), it looks like “manual focus” may also be helpful on zooming in on small objects. I will play with these settings for a while. If I find these settings consistently work, I will change my rating to 5 stars.

|Very pleased so far — exceptional camera,
This is the perfect compromise camera for me. I gave up my DSLR to my daughter who is a serious photographer. It was a great camera but more than I needed. This is light, full of features and takes great pictures.
I’ve heard concerns about Nikon’s battery life, but so far I’ve had tons of pictures and video off a single charge.
The picture quality looks terrific.
The zoom is amazing.
I usually don’t care as much about these things, but the red color is great.
I doubt I’ll ever use the GPS feature. It is usually pretty obvious where I am when taking pictures.
I highly recommend these extras. For $500 total you get an nice bundle.
1. The 2 extra batteries plus the wall charger will be very handy — 2 Pack Battery And Charger Kit For Nikon P100 P500 P510 Digital Camera Includes 2 Extended (1100 Mah) Replacement Nikon EN-EL5 Batteries + AC/DC Rapid Charger + LCD Screen Protectors + ButterflyPhoto MicroFiber Cleaning Cloth $19.95
2. This bag is the perfect size for the camera, extra batteries and charger — Case Logic DCB-304 High/Fixed Zoom Camera Case (Black) $15.28
3. I’d get two memory cards. They have more space than you’ll probably ever use. Each holds over 3,400 pictures, but if you take videos you’ll have plenty of room and of course you want a backup. — Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 10 Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC10E $14.98
