The Nikon Coolpix P300 is an excellent camera for its price. Its ultimate appeal boils down to how you answer two questions: How valuable are RAW mode and manual focus to you? Next to the Canon PowerShot S95, the Nikon Coolpix P300 holds its own and co...

We love the simple, no frills styling of the Nikon Coolpix P300, and the neat design is backed up perfectly by high-end build quality. The P300 is easily tough enough for everyday use, and the aluminium casing is also tactile. The Coolpix 300 features a 12.2-megapixel sensor, and it's capable of delivering pin-sharp images. You'll be able to shoot video in full 1080p high-definition, and there's
The biggest problem with the Nikon Coolpix P300 is the fact it doesn't shoot Raw images. This won't affect many users, but will be a disadvantage for those who like to tweak images in Photoshop afterwards.
The Nikon Coolpix P300 is an impressive compact camera, offering a high quality design and images that can more than match the price tag. The fast lens results in decent low light photographs, and the range of manual settings mean you can get some exce...
The Nikon COOLPIX P300 manages to outperform its rivals in the 'prosumer' class when it comes to providing Full HD movies, longer zoom and faster continuous shooting, but its lack of RAW format capability and use of a smaller sensor might hold some sem...
The Nikon Coolpix P300 might not quite match the image quality and fine detail resolution of the Canon S95 it was made to challenge but has its own merits and is a valid and competitive alternative to most expert compacts in the market. With a street ...
Abstract: The name Nikon to anyone who knows anything about cameras means quality. Does this quality extend to pocket cameras? Here I am looking at one of their latest that is little more than an oblong black shape how does it perform?...
Good AF system, good macro mode, 8fps burst mode, user-definable AF point adjustment
So-so image quality, no manual focus, no RAW files
Not to be confused with the larger-sensor competition, the Nikon Coolpix P300 does a decent job in the mid-high level compact market. No RAW capture may be a bugbear for those wanting fuller control, yet a decent AF system, full manual control and dual...
Great build quality with attention to detail (flash mechanism), Excellent screen that's sharp, precise and has accurate colours, Good picture quality up to 800 ISO, Goodquality lens, particularly at telephoto settings, Gerneally pleasant to use
Video compression affects quality, sound could be better, Handling could be improved (left hand is largely redundant), No custom controls, Battery life a bit limited (less than 250 photos), Aperture drops from f/1.8 in wide angle to just f/4.9 in telephoto
The Nikon Coolpix P300 is a basic expert compact that's really quite good. However, the lack of RAW mode and advanced custom controls leaves it lagging slightly behind the Canon S95....
