“Bottom line - Nikon’s Coolpix P3 is a capable compact digicam that produces good quality 8-megapixel images and VGA sized movies. Beginners will enjoy its fully automatic and scene assist modes, while intermediate users will be able to get creative with Aperture priority and the range of adjustments available in Programmed auto mode. At a street price of under $400, it represents a good value, especially considering its cable clutter-eliminating WiFi connectivity, 8-megapixel resolution, Vibration Reduction and versatile 36-126mm focal length range.”
