So here are some pics with my new Nikon P510. This thing has an incredible zoom lens that goes all the way out to 1000mm. It also does a very good job of gathering available light in low light and darkness. Features are straight forward and overall seems to be a nice camera.
Here are the images. These are all raw except for the moon shot. I did a little bit of editing with the moon but you get the idea of how well this thing does with regards to zoom. Still even learning the photo editing.
Taken tonight at about 10:45. Does a decent job of light gathering just on full auto mode.

Closeup... I guess Macro?
