is a Nikon Coolpix P500 a SLR camera?

Lu Tiner: 1

Arnette Dominici: SLR cameras use 35mm film. So no. The P500 isn't a DSLR, either.

Hollis Demasters: Nikon DSLRs are D(number).DSLRs are very expensive, are you sure the requirement isn't for a 35mm SLR ?Check with your tutor, used 35mm SLRs From Nikon, Pentax, Olympus and Minolta are fairly cheap on the used market (Canon SLRs tend to be electronically controlled, but if this is permitted, they aren't too shabby either)....Show more

Adan Alipio: An SLR camera's defining feature is the optical viewfinder composed of a reflex mirror coupled with a pentaprism or pentamirror. It's the same for film and digital. DSLR's are also SLR's. We wouldn't want to name film SLR's "FSLR" now would we?One way to be sure about this is to turn off the camera. Look through the small viewfinder. If you see through it, it's an SLR. If the small viewfinder only works if power is on, it's a bridge or a hybrid. If there is no small viewfinder then it's definitely no! t an SLR.No, the P500 is not an SLR....Show more

Kenneth Blacker: No. It's an upper level bridge camera. You'll need something like a Nikon D3100.
