    Is nikon coolpix p610 a dslr?
    eda.keebler
    about 2 years ago
    The Nikon Coolpix P610 looks and feels like a small DSLR camera. It has a decent sized rubberised handgrip, with a rubberised patch on the rear for your thumb and another rubberised area on the other side of the camera - all of which aids grip.

The Nikon Coolpix P610 is what you would call a bridge camera. It is not as small as a compact camera but is not as big as a DSLR

A 60x optical zoom and full manual control make this a solidly specced bridge camera
