Get closer to what matters
40x optical zoom, 80x Dynamic Fine Zoom
Few shots are too far away for the Coolpix B500's NIKKOR ED glass lens. 40x optical zoom gives you super telephoto power, then Dynamic Fine Zoom, an enhanced digital zoom, effectively doubles that reach for a whopping 80x zoom. Lens-Shift Vibration Reduction (VR) keeps your shots steady, crucial at such long distances, and a 16-megapixel backside illuminated CMOS sensor captures every detail.
