Description

The Plum COOLPIX B500 Digital Camera from Nikon features a 16MP 1/2.3" BSI CMOS sensor for high-resolution imagery as well as Full HD 1080p video. This sensor's construction utilizes a stacked backside-illuminated design to improve clarity and image quality when working in dimly-lit conditions. The 40x optical zoom lens provides a 35mm equivalent focal range of 22.5-900mm, covering wide-angle to telephoto perspectives to suit working in a wide variety of environments. Further subject magnification can be achieved using the 80x Dynamic Fine Zoom that effectively doubles the camera's reach. The lens also features Vibration Reduction to help reduce the appearance of camera shake when shooting at the longer zoom lengths or with longer shutter speeds. A 3" 921k-dot tilting LCD screen allows image composition from unique angles, as well as image review and menu navigation.

I bought this camera because my husband and I were taking a trip up to Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan and I wanted a camera that would produce better quality pictures than my cell phone and would also have a great zoom. After spending hours online reading reviews I decided on the this camera and I am SO glad I did. My top criteria were for a camera that would have high quality pictures, great zoom, and ease of use. The camera is easy to use, takes minimal set-up (which you can link to your phone and do all of the set up on the app on your phone) and it takes gorgeous pictures. I tested the camera out before we left, using different types of modes and playing with the zoom and on our trip we got some phenomenal pictures (it helps the subject is one of the most beautiful places in the US). I took about 200 pictures and the battery life still shows as full and only two pictures came out blurry (both were of deer that moved at the last second). The zoom is incredible as well. I zoomed pretty far with the picture of the sailboat and it turned out beautifully. ... show more

    • Good beginner camera
Color: Black
I bought this Nikon Coolpix B500 Digital Camera for my 15 year old granddaughter. She had expressed an interest in photography and been using an old digital point and shoot that we had given her several year earlier. She felt limited by the point and shoot's image quality and lack of features. Since opening this on Christmas 2022, she has been making some amazing photographs. She really has an eye for subject matter and composition. The camera lens is amazingly sharp, so her pictures easily stand up to enlargement many times over. The zoom is so good she has taken excellent pictures of the moon where the craters are clearly visible. She has even done some macro photography with this camera, so it's very versatile. One thing I don't like about it, and it's a personal preference, is that it does not allow for interchangeable lenses. Fortunately, as I said, the lens on it is amazingly sharp, so for most situations, it will work well. I just like having options. This camera also works with SnapBridge, a Nikon software program for it's cameras. The camera doesn't have all the bells and whistles of my D850, but it's only a fraction of the price, and for what you pay, you get an excellent beginner camera. ... show more

Great camera out of the box. If you receive an error message to turn off and then on remove the lens cap. The optical zoom works effortlessly. Without a tripod I was able to take steady shots from quite a distance in bright daylight. Perfect for nature photos. Bigger than a point and shoot but not overly so. Gone are the days of the camera bag with several lenses and focusing on your subject. The smartbridge is a bit slow but works, no cords to lose or carry. Used on a iphone se. All in all many features for the price. I would recommend this to s semi serious picture taker ready to advance from cell phone or small point and shoot pictures. If you want to take and really enlarge photos for wall art this is the way to go. ... show more

    • I am half tempted to throw it away.
Color: Black
Piece of garbage. Absolute junk. Now, that being said, it takes great pictures. It has awesome features. I love that I can use my phone to work the camera. The software is a bit glitchy, it may take two times to get it to sync. Why do I hate it? I put the batteries it came with into it. I messed around with it for a good bit. I even took a few pictures. I then put it away after turning it off. I took it back out a couple months later, the batteries were really dead. What??? Fine, I put Energizer lithium batteries in it. You could run a Tesla off those things. It turned on. I said fine. I took the batteries out and put them in a bag with the camera. Last week I wanted to use it. I reinstalled the batteries. It said full batteries. I tried to take a movie and couldn't figure it out even after a few tries. I also couldn't make sure it was on the 1GB SD card. I deleted all of the pictures and it got more room. It has got to be on the internal memory since it says I can do 15 min of movie or 400 pictures. Anyway, I gave up and shut it off. I didn't need it for an hour. I found out not to put it in what looks like movie mode on the top wheel. Keep it in auto and just hit record. So, got it set up, turned it on, aimed and zoomed. Ready, set, record. Dead batteries!!! AHHH! I checked them. 1.9, 1.8, 1.8, 1.3. Sure, one is low. No clue how that happened. It should still turn on because the total voltage is 6.8v. Regular batteries, like the ones that came with it, maybe 6.4 if you are lucky. Normally 6.2 - 6.3 total. I have never used it for an actual purpose other than trying out features. ... show more
