I use one of these alongside a Canon DSLR. My DSLR is definitely preferred whenever possible due to (naturally) the lens options and higher mpx, but I do think it's worth having both. The lack of true optical zoom on phone cameras means that, unless whatever I'm shooting is right in front of me, they aren't super useful. I feel comfortable leaving something like this in my trunk for on-the-spot photo needs where I'd rather not treat my DSLR the same, and it's also a great option for concert photography. Many venues - where I live, at least - make a stink if audience members bring "professional-grade" cameras (basically anything with an interchangable lens, regardless of whether or not it's actually up to pro standards), and only allow phones or point-and-shoots. This is a great alternative for getting those good close-up shots that a phone can't while avoiding getting your things confiscated by venue security with the personality of a TSA agent.
It's literally a great informative video! I loved the review you did about the Nikon Coolpix B500, if it's really worth buying. I could see that it is an excellent camera for beginners like me, in addition, it is important to highlight the many sophisticated features that it has, I loved it, I already want one for myself!
I haven't had the opportunity to test this camera yet, but I hear good things about the resolution it delivers, as I'm involved in this world of photography, I always like to test a new camera!
The Nikon Coolpix B500 is for anyone who wants something fairly basic, since it doesn't have an advanced mode. You can have a little control in fully automatic mode, but you can't change aperture, shutter speed, or shoot in raw format.
The Nikon Coolpix B500 has superior color balance, and Nikon cameras are known for their dependability, therefore I believe it is worthwhile to get one.
have one but am not really too happy with the focus. like if I focus on something really far it won't stay focused it will come in and out. maybe it's a setting not sure also on video mode it's not really as crisp as I would like again maybe a setting not sure.

This video information on the Nikon B500 camera is very impressive and useful to camera enthusiasts wishing to know more about it. The features are excellent.
Thank you so much for this video. I had been thinking about buying a new Camera and this video about the Nikon Coolpix B500 was really useful for me. I learned a lot of new things about this Camera. Thanks!
What am I doing wrong with this camera? I have an iPhone 14 promax and feel like it takes better pictures. I feel like I’m using a camera from the 90s with the poor picture quality. Hopefully I’m doing something wrong. Please help.
Hey there, if I need a camera for work. All I need is a point and shoot. I need to take pictures rather fast between one pic and another. And I need it to be ok taking pictures in dark places like inside the kitchen cabinets when there’s no power in the house. Would this camera do?
I do mobile photography, and now I want something which can give me zoomed photos but, DSLR and Mirrorless both are out of my budget, I want to click wildlife mostly or landscape if it ( Coolpix B500) can shoot portraits that will be the best for me, Can it do the all?
I know this is a months old comment, but here is a reply in case it's still useful for you and other potential buyers. I have this camera, and certainly is a great one for beginners if you can get it at around $200-$300. In my experience it's best for landscape for sure. For wildlife, it can work but you really need a good angle and lighting on your subject. Taking pics of birds is really hard for the lack of stabilization and shutter speed control specially for flying/on the move birds. It should work for portraits as long as you don't expect a highly blurry background ("bokeh effect") in your pictures. Should be just fine for non-blurry portraits, which is good enough for non-commercial use. This camera should always thrive for stationary subjects, under good lighting and specially while using a tripod. The zoom is really good for taking pics of the moon (but the moon being the only subject, not as in part of a landscape). The color science within the camera is also good considering that it does not save RAW files, the jpegs are good enough to post on social media without much tweaking if the previously mentioned conditions are met.
