Nikon COOLPIX P510 Voucher

Wingfoot 3A (USA) : Purchased the camera for an over seas trip, but also used the item for a Hawaiian vacation. The camera was used in and out of cold waterfalls, toted along as i jumped from a 20 ft drop into a water hole mixed with sea and fresh water; as well as snorkeling off a beach without ever fogging up. the camera froze on me once, had to go back to shore, patted the battery compartment dry before opening and forced the camera to power cycle manually, went back within a few minutes in to the ocean without a hitch. The battery life depends on usage, i found that with the GPS function as well as movie mode drained the battery quicker than without those functions being used, but i still was able to get one days worth of vacation shooting on a 4 gb card. The GPS function is definitely helpful when you get back home from vacation in order to remember the places you've been. sometimes it takes the camera some time 10-15 minutes before the camera picks up your location depending on your over head cover. The camera does surprisingly well in low light conditions as well as 5-10 ft shots underwater, the colors at 5-10ft still come up well and require minimal color correction through Photoshop. The weakness is long distance evening shot focus, but i didn't really expect the camera to have that ability, manual focus is usually more precise; i couldn't find that function on the camera, will continue to play around with the camera to see if that function exists. Additional functions that would be helpful would be delayed shot capability for night shots, i figure that could be a software function update. Overall I would recommend this camera albeit it's price.

shops a lot : I've owned the camera for two months. It' every user friendly and the pictures are outstanding. When we loaded the pictures onto our computer and compared them with the pictures taken by our old camera, the colors were more vibrant, the focus sharper and they just looked better. I've shot stills and video. The video would freeze part way through a shot, After some research I found it was my memory card, not the camera. I had tried to save money and purchased a Kumputerbay memory card. When I changed that for a more expensive car, the video worked fine. My only complaint is that when using video the zoom is fast and jerky. I need to do more research and confirm it's the camera and not a setting I don't know how to use yet. Overall, I am extremely pleased with how easy the camera is to use and the quality of the pictures it produces.

James Boekholt : Camera takes EXCELENT pictures and video as I would expect from Nikon. What I didn't expect was a waterproof camera that LEAKS during first use. I have returned mine to Amazon for a refund. I saw several other reviews that the device leaks, but I thought it was an isolated incident or user error. There was no user error here. The first time I used it was in the pool and I doubt it was deeper than 3 feet in water. When I went to get pictures off the camera I noticed that there was moisture on the LED screen. The camera was still functioning, but it definitely leaked.
