When I used SnapBridge on Nikon’s D3400 DSLR I had no problems connecting, so hopefully this is something Nikon can fix with an app and/or firmware update. It sounds good, but in practice I found connecting frustratingly unreliable and when it does work, Snapbridge on the COOLPIX 500 feels rough and unfinished. The COOLPIX B500 offers excellent connectivity Nikon’s new Snapbridge technology provides an always-on low power Bluetooth connection which transfers photos to your smartphone in the background and there’s also Wifi with NFC for faster manual file transfers and remote shooting. It has an excellent flip up (and down) screen and even with non-rechargeable alkaline batteries fitted you’ll still be shooting long after cameras with proprietary Lithium Ion rechargeables will have given up. It may not offer manual exposure modes but makes up for it with plenty of scene and feature modes with a proper mode dial to make selection much easier. It’s simple, but far from basic, despite the budget price tag. The Nikon COOLPIX B500 is a very attractive proposition for novice photographers moving up from a phone or small compact and looking for a long zoom range in an SLR style body without the expense and complexity of a camera with interchangeable lenses
