Nikon P300 Review

After many years associated with comparative stagnation, Nikon's P-series has returned. Your Coolpix P7000, introduced delayed a year ago, presenting a bit buddy - your P300. Both in relation to its spec as well as styling, your P7000 was made for you to compete with Canon's Powershot G-series, though the P300 is actually pitched just a little decrease.

Even though when you're getting started it's a lot like the Canon Powershot S95 as well as Olympus XZ-1, the P300 is really a substantially various camera in a very handful of critical techniques. It includes larger resolution, at 12MP instead of the 10MP common in that school. What's more, it offers Full Hd video (1080p as opposed to 720p), nonetheless its true shades are generally tricked by the decrease price-point, an inferior sensor (1/2.3" as opposed to 1/1.6" or 1/1.7"), and the inability to file RAW data files.

And so, regardless of certainly being built to attract the identical viewers because Panasonic LX5 as well as Canon S95, your Coolpix P300 is in reality a great deal more detailed within specs phrases with a camera such as the Canon SD 4000 IS/IXUS 300 HS. Much like the SD 4000 Can be, your P300 provides superb quality along with handbook handle in the truly small system, at a lower price cash as opposed to bigger indicator, RAW-enabled Powershot S95, or its 'big brother' your Coolpix P7000. The particular P300's lens will be optically settled down, addresses a helpful 24-100mm (comparable) array, and is also impressively rapidly from wideangle, when unspectacular in the extended end (f/1.8-4.9). The trunk 3in Lcd screen is actually bright as well as contrasty using 921k facts - exactly the same specifications as the window screens within Nikon's mid-range along with top-end DSLRs.

In many various other respects, the actual P300's specs page is related to each of our anticipations of the newest lightweight cameras. In the equivalent of 24mm, their lens will be broader as compared to both the Canon S95's or even Olympus XZ-1's 28mm equal, however will be a bit quicker compared to the two at the  finish.
