This iconic camera is ready for adventure

Nikon COOLPIX P510 | 16.1MP CMOS 42x Superzoom Digital Camera

Released in 2012, the P510 combines a 16.1-megapixel backside-illuminated CMOS sensor, an almost ridiculous 42x optical zoom, a proper electronic viewfinder, a tilting high-resolution screen, built-in GPS, Full HD video, and both automatic and manual exposure controls inside one wonderfully adventurous camera.

At its widest setting, the permanently attached NIKKOR lens captures the equivalent of 24mm—wide enough for landscapes, buildings, interiors, friend groups, and the entire story of where you are.

Keep zooming and it reaches the equivalent of 1000mm.

One thousand.

The faraway animal becomes the subject. The performer becomes more than a tiny shape on the stage. The strange thing at the top of the building finally reveals itself. The moon becomes something you can actually compose around.

Then switch to Macro mode and focus approximately one centimeter from the lens.

The biggest view. The farthest detail. The tiniest discovery.

The P510 carries all three inside one camera.

Why You’ll Love It

Forty-Two Times Closer: A remarkable 24–1000mm-equivalent range covers landscapes, groups, portraits, wildlife, performances, architecture, and extremely faraway details.
Real 42x Optical Zoom: Bring a distant subject closer through the NIKKOR lens instead of merely enlarging the center of a finished photograph.
An Entire Camera Bag in One Camera: One permanently attached lens replaces the decisions, weight, and lens changes of a multi-lens travel kit.
Four ED Glass Elements: Nikon built specialized optical glass into the enormous zoom to help control color fringing and preserve detail.
Easy Today, More Control Tomorrow: Begin in Auto or Scene Auto Selector, then explore Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and full Manual exposure.
Professionally Restored and Ready: Every P510 is individually inspected, tested, cleaned, and prepared by the Cute Camera Co. team.

Nikon COOLPIX P510 FAQs

Clear answers to the questions camera shoppers ask most.

Is the Nikon COOLPIX P510 good for beginners?

Yes. Auto and scene modes make it easy, while PASM controls, an EVF, and manual focus are ready for more deliberate photography. Cute Camera Co. is here when first-card questions appear.

What memory card does the Nikon COOLPIX P510 use?

SD, SDHC, or SDXC card. The card is removable, so a compatible card reader is often the simplest way to move full-resolution files.

What battery does the Nikon COOLPIX P510 use?

It uses a rechargeable EN-EL5 battery. A compatible battery and charger are included.

Does the Nikon COOLPIX P510 lens zoom or change?

The permanently attached 42x zoom spans 24–1000mm equivalent. It is not interchangeable, so the whole travel kit stays in one body.

How do focus and exposure work on the Nikon COOLPIX P510?

Focus: Contrast-detect autofocus with manual-focus option. Exposure options: Program, aperture-priority, shutter-priority, manual, and scene modes. You can begin in the simplest automatic mode and use the additional controls only when they help the photograph you want.

Can the Nikon COOLPIX P510 record video?

Full HD 1080p video with stereo sound. Video resolution describes what the camera records; memory-card speed, remaining space, battery life, and recording limits can affect an individual clip.

Does the Nikon COOLPIX P510 have a built-in flash?

Built-in pop-up flash. Direct flash is part of the authentic compact-camera look many people love, while available-light shooting creates a softer mood.

Can the Nikon COOLPIX P510 send photos wirelessly?

Built-in GPS; no Wi-Fi. When wireless is unavailable or no longer supported by a current phone, a compatible memory-card reader is the dependable transfer route.

Does the COOLPIX P510 shoot RAW files?

No. It records JPEG stills, even though it offers PASM exposure modes and manual focus. It is best for someone who wants control and extreme reach without changing lenses.

Why does restoration matter with a Nikon COOLPIX P510?

Older digital cameras can hide weak battery contacts, sticky buttons, unreliable zoom or lens mechanisms, flash problems, card-reading issues, and screens or sensors that do not behave as expected. A restored and tested Nikon COOLPIX P510 gives you a dependable starting point so the retro charm stays fun.
