The Guys say...
The P520 maintains the body design and lens of the P510 -- both cameras have the "small DSLR" bridge form factor and both use a 42x, f/3-5.9 powered zoom lens. The P520's nominally higher megapixel count does not translate to sharper images or better image quality, however. The P520's 3.2" viewfinder is larger than that of its predecessor, but other than these small differences the cameras are more or less the same. Wi-Fi is available on the P520, but you'll need to buy an add-on -- it's not built-in to the camera. This does not feel like much of an upgrade.
