Nikon Coolpix P3 review at dpreview
Posted by Steve on June 23rd, 2006
A review of the Nikon Coolpix P3 digital camera is available at dpreview. The Nikon Coolpix P3 is a compact digital camera with 8.1 megapixel resolution, a 3.5 times optical zoom and a large 2.5 inch LCD display. The Coolpix P3 has some impressive features, with Wi-Fi capability and a vibration reduction being the two most outstanding ones.
The review impression:
“[…] There is no doubt that the P3 is a better designed and more capable camera than the model it replaces. Ultimately though, for the majority of the target market, the images aren’t punchy enough, the shutter lag is way too slow for a 2006 model and - most importantly - the number of excellent alternatives from Nikon’s competitors, means the P3 will be of fairly limited appeal. A good camera, but unfortunately not a great camera, and one that just misses out on a recommendation, not because the final picture quality is poor, but because it can be quite a challenge getting there.”
