Nikon Coolpix P3 digital camera

 

The Nikon Coolpix P3 slips into the Coolpix range above the P1 and P2 and alongside the otherwise identical P4, identical that is apart from the P4 lacks the WiFi connectivity found on the P3. Overall, image quality is superb, some frame filling shots...

Easy to use, good design and control layout, stylish, plenty of advanced modes

Wi-Fi set up problematic, to much noise at ISO 400, no optical viewfinder

Overall, image quality is superb, some frame filling shots of colourful rugs are so detailed and sharp that even stray carpet fibers are clearly defined in the photos.

Nikon Coolpix P3 - digital camera review

 

Intro Wi-Fi is the word for the 8-megapixel Nikon Coolpix P3. Like its predecessors, the Coolpix P1 and the P2 , as well as its compact contemporary, the Coolpix S6 , this compact point-and-shoot incorporates an internal transmitter for uploading...

Wi-Fi file transfer and printing; excellent image quality; many photo options.

No Wi-Fi e-mail or Web posting; no remote camera operation using Wi-Fi; no manual exposure control.

Like its older siblings, the P1 and P2, the Nikon Coolpix P3 has a limited Wi-Fi capability and excellent image quality. Better value and quicker performance can be found in the company's nonwireless offerings.

"The Nikon Coolpix P3 is a solid if slightly unspectacular digital camera. It has eight megapixels, image stabilisation and also offers WiFi connectivity. Everything appear to be in the right place and picture quality is good as well."
