This review is from: Nikon Coolpix P3 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3.5x Vibration Reduction Optical Zoom (Wi-Fi Capable)I have owned this camera for 3 weeks and I had a hard time choosing between this and the Casio ex-z850. So I did not choose. I tested and bought them both for different reasons. Nikon cameras have the best glass elements and it is obvious when you take pictures. I have owned 6 other point and shoots and I own the Nikon D70. I hope to soon own the D200 with the 18x200 kit, if Nikon ever releases it to merchants!The P3 does not have a lot of features but the ones that are present are great!X Great Picture Quality you can count onX The VR feature is a miracle, and 99% of my pictures are not blurredX Great Macro Feature that yields good picturesX Best point and shoot for night time shots with or without a flashX Color Quality of photos is wonderfulX The body of this camera is larger than most, but small enough to put in your purse or shirt pocket. I have small hands, yet I like that it is a little largerX There are 5 flash optionsX There are 3 choices for enhancement of 9 of the 16 scene modesX The camera is easy to use and intuitiveX You can control to a degree the aperture and program modes X Movies are clear and sharp when recordedX I love the D-lighting and red-eye features that can be used in the cameraX I get great ISO results with this camera;X Portraits are easy to make and the results are beautifulX 5 options for various Picture sizesX 6 Continuous shooting modesX 8 WB options and five image sharpening selectionsX BSS (Best Shot selector is great to have)X Several other in camera adjustments for photos X I have not used the Wifi- feature yetCons:Only shoots in JpegNo viewfinder (I find I do not need it)Difficulty installing camera's WIFI program onto my computer - Nikon USA has additional instructions on their website that you may find helpful to assist with any difficult installs So why did I buy both The Casio 850 and the P3? The Casio is a great Pro-photographer camera, and you have to understand how to work the many great features, which can be difficult if you do not know what you are doing. I love many of the features on the Casio camera and it shoots as well as my D70, but the ISO most often is noisy and must be corrected in Photoshop. You have to be careful that the photographs are not too sharp. It is a great landscape camera and yields incredible pictures for a point and shoot. Even though they market the camera as being very intuitive and an easy shoot, in my opinion, there is a lot of clean-up work to perform in Photoshop. However, I can count on the P3 for perfect pictures for all other situations and almost no adjustments are required in Photoshop. It shoots better indoors and has better night time photos than the Casio 850 in my view. Also, you get great outdoor pictures too. All in all, Nikon did not add lots of new features to the P3; they made the existing ones better. I like that. I travel a lot in my work and it is not easy to carry the D70 and several lenses with me at all times; however, the P3 is a great stand-in camera and when I use the Casio 850 and P3 together to substitute for the D70 I have the best of both worlds. I realize that everyone can not afford two cameras nor are two needed... The reviews for the P3 camera are either boring or missing in action. I think this is a great camera, if you want a camera that is simple to use, yields beautiful pictures, and is dependable. There are some sample p3 photos at this website [...]
This review is from: Nikon Coolpix P3 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3.5x Vibration Reduction Optical Zoom (Wi-Fi Capable)The Coolpix P3 has a lot of things going for it: 8 megapixels; sharp 3.5x zoom with Vibration Reduction; good quality 2.5" LCD; good in-camera menus; and good battery options. It also has the most "trick" hookup...WiFi. First, as I've stated in many reviews, the VR should not be undervalued, even if this is a relatively short zoom for stabalization. It can aid in almost any situation, most notably low-light non-flash photos, and really enhances flash photography in low-light, so that we can see more of the background detail. In-camera post processing is truly enhanced with the "D Lighting" control. Essentially, this features allows you to lighten the darker areas of a photograph while not lightening the middle or light areas. This can help bring out underexposed backgrounds with flash, or allow us to see the eyes ...
