Nikon Coolpix 2500 Review
The Nikon Coolpix 2500 was announced
on 21st February 2002 as a part of Nikon's new offerings at the PMA
2002 show. The 2500 marks a stylish design departure from the 775
and 885 but also brings familiar echoes of the split & twist bodied
Coolpix 900, 950, 990 and 995. The 2500 is clearly targetted at a relatively
young 'trendy' market, those who are looking for quick easy to use (and
stylishly designed) digital cameras but cameras which can also deliver
a certain level of image quality.
The 2500 features a 2 megapixel CCD sensor and a 3x optical
zoom lens, because of its clever 'internal twist' design the lens and
flash unit are protected when rotated to the vertical position. This makes
the 2500 an ideal coat pocket or handbag camera, there's little need for
a separate case and there is certainly no lens cap. Thanks to the double
swivel (lens portion is connected to the main body on both the left and
right side) there's also no flex or potential to damage the swivel mechanism.
Because of the 2500's internal zoom / internal focusing
lens there's no extending lens mechanism to get damaged (unlike many other
compact digital cameras). About the worst thing that could happen to this
camera if it were knocked would be that the rotating portion is flipped
back into its protective vertical position.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
