Other super-zooms, like the Canon PowerShot SX70 HS offer better performance and more sophistication - but with a higher price tag.
Most other things remain the same, including fully automatic point and shoot operation, 1080p video, unremarkable continuous shooting and the unequalled Snapbridge for seamless image transfer to your phone while you shoot. As well as gains, there are losses, though, and the B500's flip out screen is gone, replaced with a fixed 3 inch panel with the same 920k dot resolution. The old AA batteries are replaced with a Lithium ion EN-EL12 that can be charged in the camera via USB. Summary The Nikon COOLPIX B600 is DSLR-styled 'bridge' super-zoom camera which upgrades the 40x range of the earlier B500 with a longer 60x 24-1440mm zoom lens - the same one as on the COOLPIX B700.
