Nikon Coolpix S500

The Nikon S500 is a compact camera that will, fully automated, do its job by means of the intelligent software inside the camera. Actions are being performed nearly completely automatic and correct the image quality if needed. The compact format and the light weight make it easy to take the camera along in your pocket. An important component of the camera is the VR image stabilization system; it directly contributes in the image quality, in this case the sharpness of the picture. Although the Nikon S500 does not have an exceptional large range, such a system will alleviate movement blurring, which has been caused by a too long shutter speed in bad lighting situations. It's a pity that the Nikon Coolpix S500 has not been equipped with a 28mm wide-angle lens.
The image quality of the Nikon Coolpix S500 compact camera is fine and the color saturation is average.n excessive artificial light, the Nikon S500 may deviate from its excellent white balance metering, but this can be adjusted by selecting the right white balance setting in the camera's menu.
Focusing with the Nikon Coolpix S500 goes nice and smooth and, with a few exceptions, will never fail.Noise is strongly visible here and to my opinion you should only use this option in emergencies.
The camera sets lighting and image processing so it is adjusted to the type of subject; this way the end result will be bit more appealing than a picture taken in the standard Auto mode. The Nikon Coolpix S500 also has a panoramic setting, less convincing because of the lacking of a wide-angle setting, but it will still give nice results nevertheless.
The camera is extremely users friendly and gives a fine end result. In regards to comfort and user friendliness the Nikon S500 does not seem to need many improvements.
