These two cameras are very similar but I have to give a slight edge to the P510 because it has a longer zoom range. Both cameras can shoot high-speed video (120 frames per second), which will be perfect for capturing slow motion -- do yourself a favor and also get a tripod or other sturdy surface.
Which camera do you recommend for John-Sharpe?
Nikon P500 - $329
12 MP|36x f/3.5|1/2.5" CMOS|3" LCD
Nikon P510 - $350
