Pix with new camera

Russ - 4-6-2012 at 05:43 PM

No sunrise yet but been testing the new Nikon P510 with it's 1000mm zoom. The reviews I've read said it didn't focus very well at max zoom and was slow doing it. I am happy with both. Here are a few untouched..











And some I played with...







And a shot of the New & Old Rangers

Great photos! Looks like some good dove/quail pickins for the Bar b que! Approx cost nfor SLR Digital?? Whatever the cost it's probably worth it-- at least for the next 5yrs. Thanks and waiting for sunrise photos. Tio

$429
Here's some info on it.

The option was a 500mm + Nikor lens at well over $1000 and not something to travel with.

Great detail at 1000, Russ. You'll have fun with that.

Nice birds, Russ. Thank you. Always appreciate photos of Baja's treasures. Keep posting. You have motivated me to start throwing in more of my pics.

Gotta say, the new XP is pretty cool looking. Kinda flashy for a cave dweller.:yes::yes::yes::yes::cool:

Fantastic photos with the 510. Looks like a great camera to take on a long journey without having to carry extra lenses, etc.

Might just have to buy one myself as we are headed to New Zealand in October.

Thanks for the info and the great images!

Now that is a very cool shot. I put it in my animal folder. thankx!
I got mine from Amazon too and extra batteries & 8G card

I assume you must use some type of tripod when zooming in, right?

Ken Bondy - 4-7-2012 at 04:01 PM

Spectacular Russ!! What's the max aperture? How big is it? ++Ken++

Russ - 4-7-2012 at 04:18 PM

Ken, 3.3 to 5.9 ( http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/nikon-coolpix-p510-b... )
Bob, No tripod. It has a pretty good vibration dampening system. Here's feature the traveler will like. It will put the GPS location in the image info.

Bob H - 4-7-2012 at 04:49 PM

Russ, thanks for the info. Are you able to use other Nikon lenses?

Nope, it's an all in one deal.

Bob H - 4-7-2012 at 06:50 PM

Looks like a great camera, especially for the price. I like the red model. I'm on the verge of getting one. Will put my hands on one at Best Buy to touch and feel, and then order online.

Sprocket - 4-11-2012 at 09:51 AM

I have the same camera it works really good for what it is!
