What customers say about "Imaging"
Canon PowerShot SX410 IS All-in-One Digital Camera
  • This camera is ideal for taking high quality pictures and it is simple to use, making it ideal for beginners.
  • The camera is 20MP and has 40x Zoom which allows it to take images of high quality.
  • The zoom on this camera is amazing and the picture is great.
  • It takes great pictures and the customization is great!
  • The photo quality at all levels is absolutely abysmal.
Nikon COOLPIX B500 Digital Compact Camera
  • Picture quality great. Check and use the various settings for the perfect pic. Continuous is particularly useful. Have fun with the effects.
  • Excellent in low light. Battery life was good, but goes quicker if linked automatically to phone for downloading pics on the go.
  • The high ISO means you don't need to use the flash as frequently as you would with most cameras.
  • I had one criticism of the camera, it's that it doesn't take great shots in low light.
  • Even the slightest movement produced blurred images. I have also tried turning auto mode off and increasing the iso, with varying but still unacceptable results.

What customers say about "Display"
Canon PowerShot SX410 IS All-in-One Digital Camera
  • Easy to use camera with super zoom. Great screen.
  • The display has a great resolution, aesthetically small and well done.
  • Takes very crisp pictures. Very easy to use. Amazing screen.
  • The display is not so beautiful.
  • LCD screen is very grainy when taking pictures.
Nikon COOLPIX B500 Digital Compact Camera
  • I did like that the display screen is adjustable, very helpful when taking pictures at different angles.
  • It hasn't got a viewfinder but has a 3 inch screen which can be tilted and moved.
  • Big screen and easy to read menus make up for this, well worth the price tag.
  • The fold down tilting LCD view screen is an amazing feature. Easy Bluetooth connection to my phone but not a feature that I really use.
  • I like the pivoting viewfinder but I wish that the camera had a screen that turned completely around.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
Canon PowerShot SX410 IS All-in-One Digital Camera
  • It is possible to connect to a TV.
  • A great options to connect.
  • Charging is easy and the connector is conveniently located.
  • An excellent camera, it has all the necessary connectors.
  • The Wifi printing and downloading was false advertising. This feature does not exist on it.
Nikon COOLPIX B500 Digital Compact Camera
  • I don't use the set up to transfer my pictures wirelessly to a mobile device, there is a cable to enable you to connect the camera directly to a computer or laptop. And it works well.
  • There is also the ability to connect your compatible phone/tablet and control camera remotely or even sync new pictures to your phone as you go.
  • I love the Bluetooth connectivity. That is life-changing. The Nikon app has worked well, paired with my iPhone 7.
  • The software interface on the Nikon COOLPIX B500 software was just sad and needs a serious update.
  • Just wish it was able to connect to a microphone and the screen could flip to the side as well! No complaints other than that.
