Nikon Coolpix P1

Review of the Nikon Coolpix P1

The Nikon Coolpix P1 is identical to the Nikon Coolpix P2 except that it has 8 megapixels instead of 5.1 and is available in silver and black. It has a 3.5x optical zoom lens and a huge 2.5" LCD screen.

The main feature that differentiates it from other cameras in its class is the fact it has Wi-Fi technology allowing for wireless transfer of images to Wi-Fi compatible cameras, computers and printers. A Wireless Shoot and Transfer function gives you instant "live" transfer of images as soon as they are shot. Wireless printing to a PictBridge compatible printer requires an optional Wireless Printer Adapter PD-10.

There's an aperture priority mode for those who like to have more manual control and 16 scene modes for those who want the hassle removed. Movies are recorded, with sound, at a respectable 30 frames per second.

For the same features but with 5.1 megapixels go to the Nikon Coolpix P2.
