P510 Primary Features
- A 42x optical zoom NIKKOR lens with coverage for angles of view for focal lengths from the wide-angle 24 mm to the super telephoto 1000 mm (equivalents in 35-mm [135] format)The Q510 is equipped with a 42x optical zoom NIKKOR lens offering the highest zoom ratio* in COOLPIX history. With coverage for angles of view for focal lengths beginning at the wide-angle 24 mm all the way up to the super telephoto 1000 mm (equivalents in 35-mm [135] format), the camera supports capture of a wide variety of subjects, from those that are too far away for effective capture with previous models to macro photography and wide-angle shots.
- Target Finding AF for the intended composition in sharp focus With this feature, utilizing high-performance image analysis technology developed exclusively by Nikon, the user simply points the camera toward the desired subject and the camera instantly predicts the portion of the scene on which focus should be acquired and then selects the appropriate focus area and focus area size. As the active focus area is automatically specified in accordance with the size of the subject, resulting images are in clear focus. In addition, Target Finding AF not only works with subjects positioned at the center of the frame, but with off-center subjects as well. This capability is clearly exhibited with shooting of smaller subjects such as flowers, food, and the like.
- Improved Scene Auto Selector mode for automatic selection of 1 of 9 scene modes according to the scene and shooting conditions The Scene Auto Selector mode built into the P510 is capable of more precise and specific identification of scenes than it was with previous models. With this feature the camera automatically identifies the scene and shooting conditions and then selects the optimal scene mode. Scene Auto Selector can choose from nine scene modes–two Portrait options, Landscape, two Night Portrait options, Night Landscape, Close-up, and two Backlighting options–but is actually capable of automatic identification of 16 scenes.
- A GPS function for recording shooting location information and tracking routes Shooting location information acquired by GPS is recorded with images. When ViewNX 2 is used, a map showing shooting locations can be displayed in the computer monitor. The P510 also offers a log function that records movement over a specified interval as a log data even when the camera is not in use or is turned off, allowing users to preserve a record of their movement on vacation, for example, as a file that can be viewed later. What’s more A-GPS files can be downloaded to increase GPS satellite acquisition time when the camera is turned on for smoother operation.

 Fujifilm HS30 EXR vs Fujifilm HS20 EXR, fujifilm HS30EXR includes a number of key specification improvements over the HS20EXR model it replaces. Read the specification comparison review below and share your thoughts with us
Buy Fujifilm HS30 from Amazon
Buy Fujifilm HS20 from Amazon
FinePix HS30EXR features an improved EXR-CMOS sensor, By redesigning the shape of the photo diodes used in the EXR-CMOS sensor, the images display 30% less digital noise at higher ISO settings, which results in smoother tones and better low light images.
The Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) has been greatly improved.
New Lithium-ion rechargeable battery delivers up to 600 pictures per charge.
New EVF : Fujifilm HS30 EXR features same EVF as Fujifilm X S1, FinePix HS30EXR’s EVF have large display unit of 0.26-inche and features 920,000 dots, compared to only 200,000 dots on the HS20EXR, making for a far clearer viewing image.
Writing Speed: The writing period after continuous shooting has also been dramatically cut to approximately 2 seconds (compared to 20 seconds on the HS20EXR).
New Intelligent Digital Zoom function: This doubles the focal range, delivering a massive 60x zoom (30XDigital + 30XOptical) with a maximum telephoto setting of 1440mm.
In the new Fujifilm HS30 EXR you get customisable Function (Fn) key to assign shortcut and New HS30 EXR supports manual focus during movie recording.
Conclusion: Upgrade is recommended, Fujifilm HS30EXR comes same 30X optical zoom but features new sensor, faster processing power and better battery life..

About Sensor and processor
Fujifilm X S1 features bigger sensor compared to Canon SX 40HS and Nikon P500, The sensor is not only bigger but Fuji X S1 uses same sensor of Fuji X 10 (Pro compact camera) and in several test done by Fujifilm and others we found that Fuji X 10 sensor is better compared to Canon G12.
The new sensor of fuji X S1 allows you Capture 3 exposures of the same scene with high-speed continuous shooting, each at a different dynamic range setting (100%, 200% and 400%).
But we should not forget about canon SX 40 HS Sensor and image processor, Canon SX 40 HS uses newly developed BSI CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 image processor, the Digic 5 image processor creates 75% less noise and 6X faster compared to Digic 4 image processor, Due to new sensor and image processor you get more details and less noise in high ISO settings.
Multi-area White Balance in SX 40 HS: The Canon SX40 HS features advanced Multi-area White Balance optimizing color tones of both subject and background under multiple light sources.
Nikon P500 image sensor captures more noise and less details compared to Canon SX 40 HS (See here).
Image Processor: Image processor of both Canon and Fuji are very fast, both can capture 10 shot/sec in high speed shooting mode, Nikon P500 is limited to 8 shot/sec only.
RAW: Only Fujifilm X S1 features RAW format capture, Fujifilm X S1 features in camera RAW converter, The conversion of RAW data not only takes into account exposure compensation, white balance and other in-camera image quality control settings, but also lets the user apply Film Simulation modes in the converter mode. For PC you get
AF Points: Fuji not mentioned in its specification chart but during research we found that Fujifilm X S1 features 49 selectable AF points, Canon and Nikon Features 9 AF points.
