Ergonomic grip for 16 megapixelsFocus on creative composition with this easy-to-use camera that guarantees superb results. The most common functions are directly accessible with the mode dial. A wide range of features make it easy to get great shots of your favourite travel or leisure activities. The high-performance 16-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor allows you to take pictures with the image quality you've always wanted.
The Nikon Coolpix B500's ergonomic design offers a stable grip despite its extremely compact dimensions (113.5 x 78.3 x 94.9 mm). Its classic styling and high performance combine with another advantage: its light weight of 542 g including batteries and SD card. And no matter where your travels take you, you'll always be able to take pictures, as the AA batteries used by your camera are available in all countries. |

40x optical zoom and vibration reductionCapture all the action at sporting events, sharpen distant subjects in cityscapes, or take extraordinarily sharp shots of the moon or a starry night with the NIKKOR 40x optical zoom, expandable to 80x with Dynamic Fine Zoom. With this optical system, you get a powerful lens in a compact camera with focal lengths ranging from 22.5mm wide-angle to 900mm super telephoto (equivalent focal lengths in 24 x 36 format).
Camera stability is essential for sharp images. The high-performance Vibration Reduction System effectively eliminates blurring even with the 40x zoom lens in full use. You can be sure to take sharp pictures in all circumstances. The optical vibration reduction function saves 3 shutter speeds (according to CIPA standard, measured at the maximum telephoto position) and the ergonomic grip makes it easy to hold the camera steady. |
Shoot Full HD videoBlurry videos are a thing of the past now that you can record Full HD (1080p/60i) videos on your Coolpix B500. Thanks to the 4-axis Hybrid Vibration Reduction (VR) system, which combines optical and electronic VR, camera movement will be compensated for, resulting in effective blur reduction, even with the 40x optical zoom used at its maximum value. Impress your friends with crystal-clear videos of family celebrations, concerts, architecture, or nature, no matter how far away your subject is, and take stills while recording video. |

Damn, I didn't see that there was no other viewfinder, I should have taken the Panasonic...
Otherwise, it seems to do the job well, nothing to complain about in terms of handling. The settings to make it work with the phone are a bit messed up, I'll have to look into it.
