    Hi, Thanks for your review.I was looking fora a super zoom camera that is user friendly as well. My focus was shifting between Canon SX510 and Nikon L830. I had almost finalized on Nikon L830 because of its tillable screen an the 16MP sensor. Anyway from your review it is clear that Canon SX510 has an upper hand when it comes to focus and responsiveness. Also the light weight and small size make it a good travel companion. I heard that Nikon L830 does not have a manual focus option as in Canon SX510- is it true?

    +Go Farts Normal cameras don't have the kind of zoom that these cameras have. The cameras in this video are classified as "superzoom". But if zoom is the only factor your looking for, the canon wasn't even the strongest of the three in this video. For superior zoom I would actually recommend the Nikon P900. The zoom on that camera is is unnecessarily strong.

Also, the Nikon does kind of have better autofocus as seen in videos and you can just search "nikon coolpix l830 sample images."

A DSLR is a professional camera which you can take off the lens and add new ones. The L830 isn't a DSLR but is really good and light. As a first Camera I recommend getting the Nikon Coolpix L830.
