The Nikon CoolPix P300 is one of the compact digital cameras of 2011 to suit the keen amateur wishing to learn and use more features than on cheaper compacts or a professional that wants high quality images especially if not lugging round his kit of choice. This is an easy to use compact with practical controls and excellent performance.
One of the issues faced by compact cameras is the distortion to images as higher ISO sensitivities are applied, used particularly for fast action or in low light. Even at ISO 32oo the P300 performs admirably with edge distortion and faded colours affected to a minimum with normal shots producing vivid colours and some of the best photographic detail. Only small issues with return to default settings in auto and a tendency to under expose photos, but these can be overcome with a little concentration. The other features such as video in HD, special filter effects and the panorama feature keeps it up with developments by Nikon’s competitors, but what stands out is the quality of the photos.
The P300 has an f/1.8 NIKKOR ultra wide-angle 24mm lens, a 12.2 megapixel CMOS image sensor and has full (1080p) HD movie recording. It has one of the highest ratings of 2011 cameras by those who have bought it so if you are seeking to buy this delightful compact check out the full P300 specifications and features, compare to the Canons, Casios and Fujifilm offerings and get the best prices online. This is one compact digital that is worth looking into.
