With a fast f/1.8 zoom lens and manual controls in a pocket-sized body, Nikon’s Coolpix P300 and P310 were popular cameras for photography enthusiasts. However, the small 1/2.3-inch sensor was a barrier for the most serious photographers.

Photographers who want it all but want it in a small, affordable package should check out the new Nikon Coolpix P520 superzoom camera.
