Verdict

Nikon COOLPIX P520 review – Verdict

Nikon COOLPIX P520 front view

The Nikon COOLPIX P520 is an overall capable compact, with a reasonable standard of image quality, a clearly effective VR system and an excellent LCD screen to recommend it. It’s also currently priced around £80-90 less than rival models, although this is perhaps reflected in its finish and the quality of its electronic viewfinder. Still, if these issues are of no concern it’s definitely worth adding to the shortlist.
