What customers say about "Imaging"

Canon PowerShot SX410 IS All-in-One Digital Camera

This camera is ideal for taking high quality pictures and it is simple to use, making it ideal for beginners.
The camera is 20MP and has 40x Zoom which allows it to take images of high quality.
The zoom on this camera is amazing and the picture is great.
It takes great pictures and the customization is great!
The photo quality at all levels is absolutely abysmal.

Nikon COOLPIX B500 Digital Compact Camera

Picture quality great. Check and use the various settings for the perfect pic. Continuous is particularly useful. Have fun with the effects.
Excellent in low light. Battery life was good, but goes quicker if linked automatically to phone for downloading pics on the go.
The high ISO means you don't need to use the flash as frequently as you would with most cameras.
I had one criticism of the camera, it's that it doesn't take great shots in low light.
Even the slightest movement produced blurred images. I have also tried turning auto mode off and increasing the iso, with varying but still unacceptable results.

What customers say about "Display"

Canon PowerShot SX410 IS All-in-One Digital Camera

Easy to use camera with super zoom. Great screen.
The display has a great resolution, aesthetically small and well done.
Takes very crisp pictures. Very easy to use. Amazing screen.
The display is not so beautiful.
LCD screen is very grainy when taking pictures.

Nikon COOLPIX B500 Digital Compact Camera

I did like that the display screen is adjustable, very helpful when taking pictures at different angles.
It hasn't got a viewfinder but has a 3 inch screen which can be tilted and moved.
Big screen and easy to read menus make up for this, well worth the price tag.
The fold down tilting LCD view screen is an amazing feature. Easy Bluetooth connection to my phone but not a feature that I really use.
I like the pivoting viewfinder but I wish that the camera had a screen that turned completely around.

What customers say about "Features"

Canon PowerShot SX410 IS All-in-One Digital Camera

Perfect camera, takes high quality pictures and the zoom is fantastic.
This inexpensive camera seems to have good features, especially the zoom.
The operation is simple, the manual, which can be downloaded online, explains all the features.
I love all the great features, and the optical zoom.
Photos and videos are crystal clear.

Nikon COOLPIX B500 Digital Compact Camera

It didn't disappoint, easy to use and has a lot of the features and mode which good picture quality.
Many different modes so I mainly stick to auto. Super camera for a first timer who wants good pics.
Sound good, I can take decent pictures of the moon even and sports mode is fav. For a point and shoot, great value for money and very easy to use.
Also, easy to press the shutter button halfway to focus, and then set up the frame. Glad to have this camera!
Lack of any manual control over shutter speed, focus, or really anything. I like to be able to take timed exposures for waterfalls and such, completely impossible with this camera.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Canon PowerShot SX410 IS All-in-One Digital Camera

It is possible to connect to a TV.
A great options to connect.
Charging is easy and the connector is conveniently located.
An excellent camera, it has all the necessary connectors.
The Wifi printing and downloading was false advertising. This feature does not exist on it.

Nikon COOLPIX B500 Digital Compact Camera

I don't use the set up to transfer my pictures wirelessly to a mobile device, there is a cable to enable you to connect the camera directly to a computer or laptop. And it works well.
There is also the ability to connect your compatible phone/tablet and control camera remotely or even sync new pictures to your phone as you go.
I love the Bluetooth connectivity. That is life-changing. The Nikon app has worked well, paired with my iPhone 7.
The software interface on the Nikon COOLPIX B500 software was just sad and needs a serious update.
Just wish it was able to connect to a microphone and the screen could flip to the side as well! No complaints other than that.
