Nikon COOLPIX P310

Nikon's latest advanced compact offers an impressive feature-set on paper, but how does it fair under closer scrutiny?

Nikon Coolpix P310

The Nikon Coolpix P310 is the company's latest take on its high-end compact camera. Like the P300 that came before it, the P310's biggest sell is its 24-100mm f/1.8-4.9 lens. We weren't really sure we'd like the P310 that much: it's a tad confused in...

Decent AF with lots of options including user-defined point, detailed images, close-up macro mode, lots of movie capture control

No raw capture, standard compact sensor size, image quality behind the larger-sensor competition

We weren’t really sure we’d like the P310 that much: it’s a tad confused in this market space as it doesn’t challenge the larger-sensor advanced compacts of its competitors.

Nikon Coolpix P310 review

The Nikon Coolpix P310 earned scores of Very Good in three of the four testing categories (exposure quality, sharpness, and lack of distortion), and a Good score for color accuracy. Unlike most other cameras these days, the Coolpix P310 takes an...

Other pocketable premium cameras are out there, but most of them cost at least £300. If you're looking for a pocketable point-and-shoot camera with manual controls and good low-light performance, you won't find a lower-priced option than the Nikon...

Nikon Coolpix P310 review

The Nikon Coolpix P310 is a good compact camera, but it does have a few issues. The purple fringing is of most concern, and while the inability to shoot raw isn't an issue in itself, its presence would allow greater control of noise.However, the P310...

Nikon Coolpix P310

The Nikon Coolpix P310 is a fair bit cheaper than some similar cameras such as the Canon Powershot S100. It lacks a couple of features compared to that camera such as GPS and a RAW mode. If those are not important to you then this camera becomes a lot...

Nikon COOLPIX P310 Review

The Nikon COOLPIX P310 bears all of the hallmarks of an advanced compact camera, both in design and specification. The Nikon COOLPIX P310 review follows...

Good LCD screen, pleasing design, PASM shooting modes

Lack of Raw capture, exposure and white balance a touch erratic

The P310 is a respectable advanced compact that features a full specification, albeit one with a few noteworthy holes in it. Image quality and performance is generally reliable and, on the whole, it’s a worthy purchase for those looking for more from...

Nikon Coolpix P310 Review: Premium Compact Camera at a Bargain Price

The Nikon Coolpix P310 is without peer at its price ($300 as of August 15, 2012). It's a premium compact camera priced more like your average point-and-shoot, with a fast F1.8 lens, manual exposure controls, very good image quality, and a pocket-size...

F1.8 lens with good low-light performance ; Manual exposure controls ; Excellent macro capabilities

Slow save speeds for Night Landscape and video ; No RAW-shooting mode

With an F1.8 lens, manual exposure controls, and a much lower price than other premium point-and-shoots, the pocketable Coolpix P310 offers excellent bang for the buck.
