over 16 automatic and preset
shooting modes, you'll always be sure to get the precise shot you're
looking for. Best of all, "advanced scene modes" are available for 11 of
the 16 presets and allow the user to customize the final image by
providing a 3-level selection for enhanced creativity and control.
Not to be outdone, the Coolpix
P1 can also record high-quality movies at a rate of up to 30 frames per
second. There are a total of seven movie modes to choose from, including
six with the capability to record sound as well as a time-lapse mode that
enables the user to capture events occurring over an extended period of
time.
The camera also features a
built-in flash with six modes, and a built-in mic and speaker for
including sound in videos and playback from the camera. A large,
incredibly bright, 2.5-inch color LCD display and user-friendly interface
means that you don't have to take the extra effort to get up to speed with
the camera's functionality. Just power it up, and you'll be ready to go in
no time.
Other advanced features include
Nikon's Exclusive Feature System, which helps turns "pictures" into
"photographs." An In-Camera Red-Eye Fix takes "red-eye reduction" a step
further by removing red-eye directly in the camera. Face Priority AF
automatically focuses on faces for great portraits, and the D-Lighting
feature offers in-camera repair of dark images. The included rechargeable
battery gives you up to 180 images on a single charge. In short, the
Coolpix P1 is perfect for novice users or anyone looking for a
point-and-shoot camera that produces sharp, colorful photos with great
ease of use. For advanced shooters, the Coolpix P1 can serve as a great
"take-anywhere" snapshot camera.

Nikon P!, great pictures and features, April 16, 2006
Reviewer: pcaugh "Pat"
The Nikon P1 is my first digital camera. I have waited for prices to come
down and features to go up. My 20 year old Nikon F2 was stolen which made
the decision pretty easy. I am amazed at all the features available in
this small camera. The pictures are excellent even in automatic mode. The
camera has 16 scene modes as well and two different levels of semi-manual
mode. I did not have problems setting up the Wi-fi connection on my
network and was surprised at all the reviews complaining about the
complexity. I think the transfer rate is excellent and the pictures pop up
on your computer immediately after completion. If you have gotten past the
point of getting your wireless network to work in your home, the setup
process should be a breeze. Make sure you read the instructions related to
using a firewall and opening specific ports. The software is very easy to
use and the auto enhance feature is a one click process. The instruction
manual could have been a little more intuitive. I recommend an extra
battery and 1GB SD card. I found a package for the memory and a carrying
case which is not included for under $400.

Nikon Coolpix P1, April 11, 2006
Reviewer: R. Reeder
The Nikon p1 is very sleek looking with the perfect compact weight & size.
The user controls are easy to navigate through with a wonderful selection
of manual and auto settings. This camera takes great vibrant colored
photographs with the exception all your photos will turn out soft, as
though a softening filter were placed on the camera, even on the highest
sharpness settings. Batteries seem to drain quickly. I would say over all
this is a decent camera.
