@CalenderJuiceSheena Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I recently bought that camera and so freakin' excited to use it!
nice review, thank you (even so many years later, still good!)
@IllxllI The battery can be recharged via an included USB cable.
No problem!
WOW! One of your best reviews David! Thank you for the experience!

A question about photographs like the one of the bird at 12:03. What settings did you use to get the background this blurry and the bird so sharp without being mere centimeters away from the object?
Flashback! This is the first video of yours that I watched. Cheers David! :D
I used the Panasonic HDC-SD600K. Thanks for watching!
@teknoplayer @iMstrKrft I understand what ISO means. I have an entire video dedicated to it. As you can see, this review was 14 minutes long, and that's with cuts edited in. Like I mentioned, I wanted to keep everything short and to the point. If you really care about ISO and everything else, you can research it on their website. Not mentioning something does not make a person any less experienced. It comes down to how I wanted to present this review to a general audience.
What do I need to put my camera on to take a 4x6 photo is that a option on the camera or would that be a option on software also how do I like set timer for camera and where do i even find that at
hey i know this is random, but does this camera take good videos of other screens? like if i wanted to video myself using the computer, would it appear clear or with the weird screen bars you get by using a regular camera?
awesome videos david very well done and also your vids are very explainable
@intelvistaw Yeah, not on this video. The length was too long, so I stuck with 720p.
yes chris i know that the 60d is good,but because of budget constraints,you can try the t2i or even the t3i,the t3i even has a flip out screen and both are baby 7ds!
@TheMatty59 No. Your answer is to use a video editing software such as Sony Vegas to add a 'slow-mo' effect for your desired video.
hi....my most of the movie is indoor....what u suggest me to get good video quality ...should I make my scenes outdoor for better quality
@MrNuun your comment totally confused me.. I did some research on the Canon SX 230 HS and the Nikon p500 and finally decided to go with the p500.. Video shooting is the main feature im looking for... But you say that canon shoots better video than nikon does... Which camera do you then suggest for me?
im hoping you can suggest a good setting for still filming like product reviews with this camera. I will be filming in day light in a room setting
Is it better than the canon powershot sx40?
I heard that you can do manual focus with this. Not expecting too much out of manual focusing since it's not a DSLR, but is it true that you can do this and is it good enough to be used ever?
@MrNuun Thanks for the reply and suggestion.. In our country it costs about 400 USD. But all the sample videos on youtube look fine ?!
hi! what camera can you recommend for a starter like me? i want cheap. probably the same price with this? i also want a "bridge" camera. digital camera size but with an SLR quality pictures with an excellent video quality. any suggestions?
Hi.. if you pick between this product and Sony nex5k which one you will choose?
@thecreativeone :Can you pls tell me what to opt for? Nikon P500 or the Sony HX100V?
Thanks so much for this video! I recently purchased the camera and love it, but I have one question. If I wanted to manually focus while recording, how can I set the camera to do that? For example if I wanted to shoot a rack focus how can I get the camera to focus manually WHILE recording video? Thanks again.
Thanks and what camera do u use right now
Hello, thanks so much for posting this video. My husband bought me this camera to take photos of my children. I was so excited to get it and now I'm so upset with the quality. I thought it would have given clean non blurry pics. What mode would you suggest to use for taking portraits? Or do you think this camera doesn't have the capabilities?
2 questions Sr. does this camera takes 360 degree pictures? and can you set the shutter speed for light graffiti pictures. Thanks in advance,.
what setting do you usually using for taking pictures
Great video David.
@ilovedagreenday Yes, I'm clueless. Either that, or I have notes in front of me to make sure I don't miss anything.
are u able to PVR with the Nikon COOLPLIX P500 if you can please make a video about
should i buy this camera because i normally like to take photos is this enough for photos and the price is low so tell me can i buy this one
is it good for filming and taking photos of sports like skateboarding or bmx also can it do that photo thing when it takes a lot of photos real quick
Are you able to hook it up to an external mic?
Can we chose the shutter speed ?
can you put lenses on it and if so what size lenses
whats the burst mode like FPS?? good pictures??
Can you pls tell me what to opt for? Nikon P500 or the Sony HX100V?
Is this camera good for action shots? I do equine photography, so I'm looking for a camera that takes sharp action shots.... Thanks!
Good video! But, can you solve me a problem? I have a coolpix P500 nikon and I don't really know how to do a panoramic yet! Help me, please.
I heard the video mode in the P510 is bad because it always unfocus how's it in this one?
@WinHelpTube Yes, both cameras are very comparable. They're actually pretty similar.
Fantastic review David. I would of liked to have seen a clip of the 36x Zoom though. Thanks.
Thanks bro this video tell me alot about nikon p500 thanks again
Would this be a good camera to shoot lightning during daylight? Either in photo or 240fps video?
I have had this camera for a little under a year and still find out new things everyday. I really like it but could you do a film on how to get the best quality out of your camera for filming?Or do you know any videos that would help because i can't find any! When i film i have trouble knowing what settings to use, ect. Thanks!
@Asphaltmonkey0 Agreed. It's definitely the better camera to save up for.
Is it good if im going to a concert??? im trying to look for a good camera.average price..great zoom and still images...like for concerts there gonna be moving alot so i need to capture a good picture from far away
Are you required to charge the battery while it's in the camera?
can you change the lenses for this camera?
Yes u can do manual focus with the p500
Do u think a glidecam would work good with this camera?
Is this camera as good as the Panasonic Lumix FZ-47? Or should i get this one. Or if you have another camera that is better than both I'll check that out. Thanks!!
Do you think that you may be able to do a review on the Nikon 1?
hi! thank you for this video :) I've had my camera for a while now, but just recently started being more active in my youtube account. BUT i tried recording video with my nikon, and it sucks. It looks no where close to the test you showed us. I think i need a different sd card? The one i'm using now is a Sandisk Ultra SDHC - 32 GB - 30mb/s' - has a 10 with a circle lol. Could you please tell me what card you used for your test video? I was thinking an ExtremePro Sandisk one would be good? Thanks again for the awesome video :)
what do you think about the canon sx40 in comparison/?
tell me which one should i bye between nikon p510 / canon sx 20 ??? and tell me which one is the best about or idea ?
my camera (the coolpix p500) when I make a vid only goes up to 480p. how can I make it go up to 720p? PLEASE RESPOND!! thx!!!
Ive got a P500.... I FRICKIN LOVE IT
Does it have a macro/close up mode?
The canon ELPH 300HS has a sensor the same size as the Nikon Coolpix p500 (1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm)) "Bridge" cameras are just point and shoots with big zooms (they often have more manual modes but not always) Nothing will beat a DSLR given how much bigger the sensors are!
i have this camera and find that the battery gets exhausted very quickly.. am i doing something wrong? any suggestions?
I'n buying this camera thanks to this video. you sold me.
Does it shoot in RAW mode?
Hi, I wish I have watched this video before I purchase the camera, but I guess it's too late! I just have a question, how can I focus on only the face that I'm taking the picture for and make the background blurry. Also, how can I take a multi shots? One more questio, should I just stay on the auto mode if I'm not that familiar with the options? I'm an new mother and purchased this camera to take pictures for my son. I also wish that you can make a video on taking panorama pictures.
can we atach an aditional lense in dis cam like we can atach in a dslr???????
Yes
hwz da macro settngs regardng dis camera?
Dose it do manual focus and apture (I think thats how to spell it)
Someone knows if this camera have any other microphone input...like if I want to use a better microphone can I plug on Nikon P500??
can you please so the range of the zoom of it please because i am buying one for christmas and i am hoping it has got a good zoom range on it. so if you can please do that that would be great.
Wow I love this review, its easy to understand! (because I'm not camera savy) I have a question though, which camera would you suggest out of all of your reviews is the best? Now let me say, I don't want a DSLR (I know nothing about manual modes =S) I need a camera with some easy to learn manual modes, a great sensor for awesome image quality (the sharper the better) and I lovee taking micro pics. So I don't need a great zoom. I dont know what I'm looking for could you help me out? thanks =S
does it have a 360 frame shoot
@balletbunhead777 No, you can't. You'll have to get a DSRL for that.
Does this camera record time lapse
thank you soo much dude
People have to understand, they are not Ansell Adams. The beautiful photos you seen in ads and in magazines have a lot to do with things most of us cannot realistically control such as lighting, filters and time to set up the shot. If the camera is simple to use and take decent shots, be happy. Nice review.
just wonderin, if u can zoom while revording video, it would make a great vid for utube, cause i want to know what 36x optical zoom is like :)
@IllxllI it doesn't use disposable batteries? he takes out the battery and puts it back in in the beginning
Awesome review!
i bought this camera and i cant do the right settings to have a good pictures.. can you help me
david its called a prossumer and instead of the 60 d the 550 d or the t2i will be a good dslr
is this camera good for concerts?
@itzRockSolid I had the SX30IS and I have the P500. I have to say that image quality on the P500 is better even thew SX30IS having more mp's, cuz mp's are not that important but the lens are. And the P500 have a very fun functionality that it can film in slow motion.
I have the same camera but i only take a couple pictures and its already half way dead. And ive changed the battery but it still dies on me quickly, and idea why? you said you had no problem with it but for some reason mine runs out of battery very fast
@goranPV thankx I ordered for Sony Cybershot..!!! :)
Can it be recharged? Or only batteries?
plz somebody tell me between canon powershot sx30 is and nikon coolpix P500 which one is better?
Were u filming this with a 300hs?
Would you say this is the same size as the new P510???? PLEASE HELP ME.
i recently want 2 buy this baby ....wil i b takin a good decision?
@thecreativeone Ok cool. Glad you answered! =)
Should I buy the Nikon P500 or the Sony DSC-HX100V?
compare with Canon PowerShot SX30 IS which one is better ?
PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!!!!!! @thecreativeone WHAT IS THE FOCUS LIKE? is it good for taking super close pictures? focusing/macro...?
does it have manual focus ???
@iDiggMGL Indeed I did.
I'm looking at buying one of these types of cameras. My price range is $500 dollars. I am looking for something that has good photo and video quality but with the features this camera has. Would you recommend a different camera around the similar price range with better video quality?
