Nikon B500 REVIEW - BEST Superzoom Camera 2016 

That zoom lens and the downward tiltable screen will be perfect for ... enhancing... the look of my Tinder profile

I just bought this model as my first camera, I like the features it has and I can't wait to get outside with it once it arrives . I also like the Bluetooth capabilities which allow the transfer of pics to your phone.

Great review! I just purchased one and it’s 2020😂😂

AA bateri is the best part .. I don't have to worried to find any wall plug in the middle of nowhere .... just bring couple of batteries.. that's all

1:37 Nobody: Random guy with camera: Let's stalk this guy in green real quick.

I think this is the perfect camera for starters. Not too expensive and really easy to use. I love it

that shit is like a sniper but instead of shooting someone dead you are just shooting them

I was thinking about getting this camera.... Until I heard the part about double A batteries...

Warning: it uses up batteries something fierce. He says he gets some 230 shots per battery load; you could take anywhere form 400-500 photos in an afternoon of tourist photography. Buying rechargeable batteries works great and is economical.

Yeah I would just get the B700, which is a step up from the B500, because it can record 4K movies, 60x zoom,full 180 and tiltable screen which can be used for vlogging or selfies, and has a rechargable battery. its $200 more, but it make sense because of the more features.

Great review! I've just purchased one and it's November 2021, second-hand for 80€, can't wait to test drive it :)

I really want to get this camera. Cant wait to get one:) btw good review

Pls dont just slap the word "Best" on something...

I have both the B500 I got used recently, and the B700 i got new, both came out Feb 2016. The B700 is bigger, has EVF, 20mp, articulating screen and will shoot 4k. Both are small sensor super zooms. I like both, but B500 is smaller and kind of fun to use sometimes.

been looking for some cameras to start vlogging, this one was taken into consideration

I bought it yesterday in 16000 indian rupees And this is amazingly superb.

Best super zoom of 2016? Be your very own paparazzi

I have this camera and it eats through batteries so fast. I don’t recommend it personally but good review 👍🏻

I just bought one today, thanks to your video. It's great! Picture quality (with or without zoom) is amazingly good for this class of camera. Thanks for your review!

Got this coolpix for Christmas this year! I told my ma I wanted something to be able to travel with to take pics that arent just from my so so camera on my phone. Really great to know how great it really is! im excited to use the 40x zoom! Off to adventuring I go!!!

Anybody else get his dirty joke about the camera getting "excited"😂😂😂

I will say too, I am a Britain-based Teen trainspotter, and this is my first proper camera. The first time I used this, back in April, I had no problem, and I have honestly learned to love it. Best Birthday present ever!

You keep mentioning it has a 1" sensor. This is incorrect. It has a 1/2.3" sensor. FYI...

Just bought one for my Ecuador vacation. Nothing heavy to carry, easy automatic, better grip than mobile phones and better zoom

What settings do you use for this camera?

"look how excited this lil guy gets!" i just ordered this camera. Can't wait for it to get here. Excellent review

Hi ALL. So many don't seem to understand that the drop off in f stops at full zoom is a serious setback in most superzooms. However, the Panasonic FZ300 maintains a full f2.8 up to 600 mm equivalent through Leica glass. That's impressive!

got one... very light and handy, works very much like my old Coolpix L100 (instinctive and easy controls) only better. I shot in low light in the house, and it's pretty darn good. Even on zoom. Taking it kayaking tomorrow, fit in the dry box, handles nicely as the L100 did, but a bit easier to grip. tilt screen is very useful.

I'm looking for a first camera and I really like this camera, but I find it a little disappointing that it runs on batteries. Not sure if it's just me or if other people feel the same way as well.

Thanks for the review...thought I lost the charger cord. Your review helped clear I'm not careless or going nuts! --thanks

It's only 250 dollar cheap and what a fantastic camera actually I love it 😍

It does not have a 1 inch sensor.... The new DL series is going to have a 1inch sensor..

Hahahaha stalking dude with the green shirt. What a zoom! Great review bro. $300? Save another 3 and get a Canon t6i

is it good for making simple youtube videos and just taking nice pictures ?

When you buy this camera, you can also charge the battery , the charger is included in the pachlkage

Picked this camera up today! I’m in love!

Agh the battery thing killed it for me. What is this the dark ages.

i just bought one... go out shooting this weekend... it’s light weight, super nice... thanks buddy....

Haaa so did I! It’s 2020 and I purchased one. Yet to try it out. So it has a one inch sensor? That’s really impressive. I’m not keen in the AA battery idea.. but it’s not bad.

From those shots im sold

Panasonic Lumix FZ-72/82 has an optical zoom of 60x or an equivalent lens of 1200 mm, and a smart zoom to make the total zoom 300x, it also has a LOT of manual settings , I would prefer that one.

Wow the dead rising music really hit the feels

This camera is basically the old L820 with a tilt screen and 10X extra zoom for $100 more. I have the L820 and it's a great camera for video bloging. The AA batteries allow instant recharge/ changeover plus long life - just use the highest milli amp hour Lithiums available. However, still no microphone jack. Not good enough Nikon.

1:39 SPYING ON BAE LOL

gracias por el video ;)

Hey Karl, what would you recommend under $300 for a camera that will do good on vacation, and for RU-vid in general? Thanks!

I have the camera and to all worried about buying it due to batteries, it is really not bad they are rechargeable batteries and the charge holds for a really long time, great camera the zoom is incredible

thanks for the good Review, im from Germany and im speaking english Not very Well But i was understanding Most of all... I hope i write everything right and sorry for My Bad grammer..

Hi Karl! I think the best super zoom point and shoot is the Fujifilm HS50EXR! It's awesome! Make sure to check that out

I can't wait to use mine I got today!

I love how your so honest

I have the Nikon COOLPIX B500 12-02-2016 and I like it :) , You can get the Nikon COOLPIX B500 at Walmart for the total of $277.13 with tax.

Does this camera enables us to take still images while recording video (video snapshot) ? suggest point and shoot camera which does so if any !

I just got it and watching this made me glad I did, thank you for nice and helpful

Ordered this thinking it would be like our other Nikons, then found out it has no manual controls. Trying to cancel now! I already knew about the lack of a normal viewfinder (screen only), and the AA batteries. The AA's are not much of a problem, though they take forever to recharge. I was on a recent photo op trip, and shooting a one-room schoolhouse when the battery on my regular Nikon. No place around to plug in and I'd forgotten my power inverter for the car, so I had to finish the shoot with my smartphone. AA's would have eliminated that situation.

Finally I bought it.😎

Wow! The quality looks good! I think of getting this one bc I've been looking for a decent price one for a while

I just bought one it had great zoom capibilities.

I was startled to hear that the B500 has a 1" sensor; what were you smoking? It has the common size 1/2.3" sensor just like every other ultrazoom. For a while there I thought it was using the sensor from the Nikon 1 series.

What kind of camera should I get to start a RU-vid channel I am a very beginner

Is this DSLR CAMERA I mean background will blur or not

"Look how excited this little guy gets."

thanks a lot! i do have the coolpix camera but there where a lot of features that i didn't know existed in it!

hey cool review but you should have taken some photos at full zoom to see how good the photos are

Thanks for the review. I'm looking to buy this camera, and it helped a lot.

Hi Karl Conrad this is Prasad Reddy from India. Did u tested the Nikon B500 camera

When it gets a bit darker, it gets grainy and messy. How much darker are you talking about? It does have a built in flash so indoor and closer outdoor photos should be fine then, right?

i just bought this camera from black Friday, but i'm not sure if i should return it just to pay 200$ more for the b700

I felt awkward when the camera zoomed at the start then he said let’s see how exicited this lil guy can get and then he smiled

I'm getting this for Christmas for a vlogging camera

bought the acamera a few days ago, i think it is great

I got this for my birthday for a first camera and I say it's pretty good for the money

Sorry if this is a really beginner question but, does this camera blur our the background in photos and videos when focusing?

Is this better than canon t3i ?

Nice vid! Going to USVI next week was looking for a nice superzoom. Had the LX840 before and really loved its general cheap, use it and abuse it feel, the handle and the reach. Just wish they made the battery rechargeable or built-in. Can't carry battery on carry-on and batteries are expensive over there, AND chances are I already have a USB charging hub and the cable needed to charge it up.... Wish the B700 or A900 didn't get delayed. Don't want to get P900 either since it is bigger and likely there will be a B900.

The 'night landscape' mode is fekin amazing inany light and especially low light.

Great review particularly of the zoom lens .Good job .

I have this camera. Amazing superzoom! Nice review bro

so excited I'm ordering one soon and can't wait to use it 😊

We want a review for the B600 !!

Got this camera almost 10 months from now.. But still learning how to use it to get beautiful shots. Lol

nice review, I went right to the store and got my self a B500, its was on sale anyway :) great camera I love it.

Just one tiny little criticism. Please, please keep the camera still or put it on the desk when you're talking so much with your hands! I really wanted to look at the product but I couldn't because your hands are never still.

this video has helped me a lot! I'm gonna buy this camera very soon, so thank u! :)

I love this camera so much! My mom gave me the whole set like a tripod and cleaning thing a little bag thing yeah. Some stuff I have no idea for Lol.

Just got it today and it's amazing!!!

Now what camera are you using

I got one, thanks for guide me, your video is helpfull to know about this wonderfull device. Thanks a lot

nice review. but please upload full review of this camera(Nikon Coolpix B500).thnksss...i am waiting for your next video.

Hey man! I'm so torn between the Nikon CoolPix b500 or the Canon Powershot SX530. Please make a comparison video man! Thanks so much!

I'm confused between 2 cameras....the Nikon B500 and Canon sX530!! Which one is better?

stalker at 1:37 lol

Great video do you think it's a good camera to do Vlogs with

Hey Amazing review, I want to buy this camera not for professional purpose just for normal use... But I am confused between two Nikon Coolpix B500 And Canon Powershot Hs620 Hx... Which one should I go for?

Cool Thanks! Nice Review! Pretty straight forward and simple!

just gunna say you cannot use this as a Streaming camera (connecting it via HDMI will not let you see live view at all sadly) at all and there is no white balance or contrast settings in video mode at all

Might purchase one now

I'm going to pick one of these up today for my RU-vid channel :)

40x/900mm? that's cute. How does it compare to Nikon's Coolpix P900 2000mm camera?

best ever description bro. ☺
