I have a P510, takes great pictures in good light. Has problem focusing in low light (cloudy days) On full zoom and with digital zoom pictures are not sharp. I takes 99% wildlife as it's small and easy to carry on horse back or on an ATV. I'm 71 and can't walk far without running out of breath.

i believe i have to reccommend it !!!!
i have a P80 which is great.
my son has a P500 which is much improved, has greater zoom of course, but MUCH GREATER vibration/stabilization

we tried a P520 at Costco last week,,,, were thorougly impressed by its 42X zoom ALL OPTICAL,, and the vibration/stabiliztion is evenmore improved,,, i am getting 'shakey' as i age,,, and i really enjoyed looking at long zooms,, and how stabile it made what i was doing,, and of course you can get down to wide angle,, a macro and even my old P80 makes it easy to so a panorama or even 360 degree shots... by the way, just got a sales brochure from Costco yesterday,,, buying on line they now have the P520 down to $399.99 with "stuff inclued"
enjoy Harold
