Nikon Coolpix P1 Digital Camera Review

Navigation


The Nikon Coolpix P1 looks like all of its other compact Coolpix cousins with its 3.6 x 2.4 x 1.5-inch body, but it comes with a little something extra—wireless technology. The P1 and its sibling, the P2, were announced in September 2005 and hit the market a month later for a $549 retail price. Nikon claims the P1 to be the world’s first wireless digital camera, though Kodak also makes that claim of the EasyShare-one. We can say for sure however that the 8 megapixel P1 offers the most megapixels and most manual control of any consumer wireless digital camera currently out. This Nikon Coolpix has 16 scene modes, an auto mode, a program mode, and an aperture priority mode. This model also has the Nikon technology suite that includes Face Priority Auto Focus, in-camera red-eye fix, and D-Lighting compensation. The compact P1 has a 2.5-inch LCD screen with 110,000 pixels, a 3.5x optical zoom lens, and 32MB of internal memory. Its most distinguishing feature is its built-in wireless port, which can transfer pictures and movie clips to a wireless enabled computer or printer within a 100-foot range. The P1 comes out just as the consumer wireless market is heating up.
