Nikon's new ultra zoom camera, the Coolpix P500, offers one of the most versatile lenses you'll find on a point and shoot camera.

The P500 carries a 36X optical zoom lens. In addition, Nikon has given the P500 strong wide angle capabilities with a zoom range of 22.5mm to 810mm, and Nikon says the P500 is a strong macro performer, thanks to its powerful lens.

You'll find 12.1 megapixels of resolution in the P500's CMOS image sensor, a high-resolution 3-inch LCD screen, and 1080p HD video capabilities. The P500 carries a strong list of specifications ... and, not surprisingly, it carries a high price tag, too (MSRP $399.95, Compare Prices). The P500 is available in either red or black.
