It didn't seem to adversely affect the battery life either, which is around a barely adequate 200 shots, so we'd advise you to turn it on and then forget about it. You don't notice that the camera is actually doing anything different when anti-shake is turned on, just that you can use slower shutter speeds than normal and still take sharp photos. In practice we found that the VR system makes a noticeable difference to the sharpness of the images, as shown in the examples on the Image Quality page. Annoyingly there isn't a dedicated button to turn it on and off (it's somewhat buried in the Setup menu). Nikon have included their VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilisation system to help prevent camera-shake, allowing the use of shutter speeds up to four stops slower, while the new Active mode ensures clear shots even from moving vehicles. Although if you only want to review what's already on the card, you can also power on the P520 by holding down the Playback button, in which case the lens won't extend. Note that the lens cap has to be removed before turning on the camera - failing to do so will result in an error message being displayed, and you'll have to turn off the camera before you can turn it on again, which is a bit annoying. It certainly gives you a kind of freedom you do not feel with any other type of camera.įor its size, the P520's lens is also respectably fast, with maximum apertures of f/3 at 24mm and f/5.9 at 1000mm.

The ability to quickly go from wide angle to ultra-telephoto is something that has to be experienced in order to be fully appreciated. Super-zooms have always had a reputation for offering a high 'fun factor', and the P520 is no different.

Considering that with an SLR, you would need at least 3-4 lenses to cover the same focal range, the single, fixed-mount lens of the Nikon P520 can be described as remarkably compact, even if it does extend quite a bit when zoomed to full telephoto. The dominant part of the P520 is the 42x zoom lens, which goes from an ultra-wide 24mm to a frankly incredible 1000mm in 35mm terms. The deep grip is moulded to fit comfortably into your right hand, and is rubberised in a textured material for added comfort. Like most high-end superzooms, the Nikon P520 sports the typical bridge camera look, with a chunky hand-grip, large lens barrel, pop-up flash and an eye-level electronic viewfinder. Measuring 125.2 x 84.1 x 101.6mm, the Nikon Coolpix P520 is slightly larger than the previous P510 model, but its design is only minimally different. The Nikon Coolpix P520 is available in black, dark silver or red for £399.99 / $449.95 / €479.00.
