Product Information

The specifications for the Sony H400’s EVF are the same, but when I compared them, the COOLPIX P530’s EVF was significantly bigger and also a little brighter. If it means a visit to a Nikon dealer/repairer then it will not be worth it seeing as the camera cost me nothing. inch side-hinged flip-out screen has been replaced with a slightly smaller 3 inch panel that no longer articulates.

And for users who don’t mind its minor flaws and inconveniences, it remains a strong starting camera. The P530 is quick to focus in good light and at wide angle focal lengths, but when fully zoomed in it can become somewhat leisurely. On the COOLPIX P520 it’s actually a sub-setting of the Backlighting Scene mode, one of three scene modes, the other two are Landscape and Night landscape, to have dedicated positions on the mode dial. You can pan with the camera in portrait or landscape orientation – the P7700 works out which, you don’t need to tell it beforehand. With a fully charged battery, when pressing the on/off button, the 'green' light at the button comes on, then after 3-4-5 seconds goes off.The P520’s face detection works reasonably well when people are within a few metres of the camera in good light. The COOLPIX P520 employs a unique (among these three models, at any rate) method for switching between the EVF and the screen. Like most EVF’s, and the PowerShot SX50 HS and Lumix FZ70 / FZ72 are no exception, the COOLPIX P520’s provides a bright and stable image when stationery, but when panning and with moving subjects things have a tendency to get a little jittery with visible pixelation and noticeable lag.
