Nikon CoolPix P1 Wi-Fi Compact Camera

Cliff Smith hooks up with the Nikon CoolPix P1, the first compact to offer integrated Wi-Fi connectivity.

Even without wireless technology, the CoolPix P1 is a superb high-end compact camera, with attractive and user-friendly design, rock solid build quality, some dazzling technology and excellent picture quality. It’s a little pricy compared to some of...

Nikon Coolpix P1 review

The P1 is an 8-megapixel compact with Wi-Fi and 32MB of on-board memory and a fast 3x zoom lens

Nikon’s wireless wonder isn’t just a time-saving gadget for cable-phobics, it’s a superb 8-megapixel camera in its own right. Small, smart and destined for greatness

A superb all-rounder, offering great image quality, ease of use, top photo features, accessible wireless technology, plus it all comes at a very reasonable price. It also produces good colour reproduction and pin-sharp detail. Fast, fun and about as futur

Nikon Coolpix P1 review

Nikon Coolpix P1

Wi-Fi transfer and printing; very good image quality; many customizable image parameters.

Sluggish performance; limited manual-exposure control; can't e-mail images or post them to the Web via Wi-Fi.

The Nikon Coolpix P1's good image quality offsets its novel but limited Wi-Fi capabilities.

Solid picture quality. Good performance and features.

Connecting to wireless signal can be frustrating. Manuals and help guides need improvement.

The Nikon Coolpix P1 may have been the first wireless point-and-shoot to reach the market, but its wireless capabilities lag behind.

Wireless Nikon P1 Fails to Connect

Efforts to link wirelessly between the Coolpix P1 and a notebook can be annoyingly fruitless.

Nikon CoolPix P1

The 8-megapixel Coolpix P1 and 5-megapixel P2 are the world's first builtin Wi-Fi-enabled (802.11b/g-compatible) digital cameras and allow consumers to immediately transmit images wirelessly directly to a computer or to any PictBridge-enabled printer equi

Bottom line - Nikon's Coolpix P1 is a nice ultra-compact digicam that produces good quality 8-megapixel images and VGA sized movies; and lets not forget its 802.11 b/g certified. I liked just about every feature on this model, and was only annoyed when tr
