Nikon Coolpix P500 & Canon Powershot SX30IS - any thoughts?
Both of these cameras are in the $400 range and both have
optical zooms (36x for the Nikon, 35x for the Canon) roughly equivalent to 24-800 mm in a 35 mm camera. In reading reviews many folks have had problems with battery life on the Nikon whereas battery life on the Canon is a strong point. Any comments from owners of either of these cameras? Thanks, Dick |

Nikon Coolpix P500 & Canon Powershot SX30IS - any thoughts?
When I got my SX30-IS last year, I got an extra battery
just in case, but so far haven't depleted the first to the point of having to change while out and about. I always top both of them off and rotate before leaving. When shooting in /very/ cold weather you may find it helpful to keep a second battery in your (warm) pocket for when the first starts to show lack of power. When shooting several hundred pictures per day I have had to change batteries very occasionally with my Nikon DSLR. I also follow your top-up, rotate and change on a nightly basis when a shoot is critical, but perhaps not as rigorously as I used to. Cheers, David |
