The B600 was brought out 8 years after the P500 which is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before delving in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple summation of how the B600 matches up versus the P500 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix B600 & Nikon Coolpix P500. The entire galleries are available at Nikon B600 Gallery & Nikon P500 Gallery.

If you are intending to travel with your camera, you'll have to take into account its weight and measurements.

Typically, it's tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions simply by researching specifications. The image here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the B600 and P500.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Nikon B600 to result in greater detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more modern B600 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
