Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Nikon COOLPIX B500 Digital Camera (Red): Capturing Memorable Moments in Vivid Detail by Keri Diaz

Zoom focus needs work

Pros, great photos, easy to use, full HD video, great zoom. Cons, there are big problems focusing when zooming, sometimes the zoom can be almost useless. The lack of manual control of shutter speed, focus or anything else. I love to shoot time lapse waterfalls and stuff like that which is totally impossible with this camera. However, I can't find a camera in this price range that has this feature, so I can't necessarily deduct a star for it. But I'm feeling a little generous just docking because of a scaling issue. While shooting the video, I zoomed in on the waterfall, leaving the entire image blurry for a good 30 seconds before finally coming into focus. I don't see a good excuse for this, wildlife photography can be almost impossible. I managed to shoot a squirrel and a woodpecker, but only from a distance so they wouldn't be too afraid to shoot.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • not sure
