Nikon’s COOLPIX P530 is a mid-range super-zoom camera with a 42x optical range – taking you from 24mm all the way to 1000mm. It has a 16 Megapixel CMOS sensor, 3in screen, electronic viewfinder, PASM shooting modes and 1080p video at a keen price. It’s up against models like Canon’s PowerShot SX520 HS and Sony’s Cyber-shot H400, so it’s those two models we’ve compared it to in our Nikon P530 review! Find out which mid-range super-zoom will be best for you!…
Canon’s PowerShot SX520 HS is a compact DSLR-styled ‘bridge’ camera with a 42x optical zoom range equivalent to 24-1008mm.

The Sony Alpha A3000 is an entry-level camera styled to look like a DSLR or one of Sony’s own SLT models, but inside it’s actually mirrorless, just like the earlier NEX range. Announced in August 2013 it’s positioned alongside the NEX 3 series, rather than replacing it, although the long-term rebranding of Sony’s mirrorless cameras…
