I own more than a year, the Nikon P520 now and have made some thousand photos with it. Alternating on my trip I also use a Pentax K 5 II. With menus and all sorts of camera settings I am very familiar. Even a Bridgkamera as the 520 kan conjure remarkable pictures with the correct settings. It surprises me again and again as critics of this camera into a two days or less, kommem a verdict, which they then deem valid. (Camera defects excepted) One should not take all too seriously, if you want to opt for this camera this short owner. Basically you should ask yourself, will you want to make a clippers or "images". If you want to take good pictures, which you can still find good, even after repeated watch, then there is in my opinion not matter in which fraction of a second the camera focuses. I need some time anyway to, neckline, front and Himtergrund, horizontal horizon and much more set. All of these requirements make it only photographing a real hobby. Why do I even writing this review? I want to encourage all those who are flirting with this camera. I am gekommen.- to a startling realization I have on various trips with the same destination, alternately made 520 photos of the same scene with my Pentax DLSR K5 II, with ultrasonic lens, as well as with the Nikon P and am very surprised at how great the 500 grams Nikon has maintained against the 1 1/2 kilos of Pentax. Of course I could find subtle differences when significantly enlarged. But I do not vegesse that 300 euros, the Nikon and 1500 Euro the Pentax, face. It is verbüffen that again the Nikon depends on the next trip to the neck. The very good imaging zoom and the ease are to a strong argument for me to faforitisieren the camera as a travel companion. Another note for small battery. Whether small or big; A second battery is included but in any Ausrüstung.Jedenfalls with me. And I have been photographing for 60 years. It used to be a replacement battery. This time was another contribution to our schö.Hobby.
