True versatility with a 26x optical zoom, 26mm wide-angle capability, and superb image quality Coolpix P100, a new compact digital camera model that offers an impressive focal range, wide-angle coverage, and exceptional image quality. Incorporating the precision optics of a Nikkor lens and the image quality benefits of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image-processing concept, the Coolpix P100 is a tool that brings flexibility and fun to photography. A new 26x zoom, Nikkor ED glass lens for the Coolpix P100 covers a broad focal range of 26mm wide-angle through 678mm super-telephoto (35mm format equivalent). It even covers macro shooting ability from as close as 1 cm (0.4 in.). The compositional freedom of this versatile reach and range is further enhanced by a 3-inch vari-angle high resolution Clear Color Display that can be tilted as much as 90 degrees upward or 82 degrees downward. Nikon Coolpix P100 Feature Highlights EXPEED digital imaging technology Nikon's smarter approach to digital imaging technology. From image capture to processing, Nikon's comprehensive EXPEED digital imaging concept encompasses the entire picture-taking operation. EXPEED is much more than a processing engine; it is a revolution in digital photography. Backside illumination CMOS sensor for advanced performance The Coolpix P100 enables images of exceptional quality even when shooting in night scenes or in dark indoor situations. Thanks to the new backside illumination CMOS sensor, which increases the amount of light that each pixel receives, resulting in improved sensitivity and noise reduction. The advanced performance of the new CMOS image sensor brings in-camera Backlit Scene HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging to the Coolpix P100. HDR merges some images of the same scene to create an image with a range of tonal detail that could not be captured in a single photo. Night Landscape mode also benefits from a function that combines a series of consecutive shots taken at a fast shutter speed into a single, clearer image when taking handheld shots at night. Further extending its potential as a versatile photographic tool, the Coolpix P100 features high-speed shooting. This capability allows users to shoot consecutive images in maximum size 3648 x 2736 (10M) at a rapid 10-fps (approx.). Other high-speed options include Sport Continuous Mode (120-fps) and Pre-shooting Cache. 3-inch vari-angle 460k-dot TFT LCD featuring Nikon's Clear Color Display and electronic viewfinder In addition to its 3-inch high-resolution vari-angle LCD featuring Clear Color Display with anti-reflection coating, the Coolpix P100 features the versatility of an electronic viewfinder that further enhances compositional freedom and accuracy under all lighting conditions. The vibrant 3.0-inch 460k-dot VGA display offers twice the clarity and detail of standard cameras for stunning image reproduction. High-Definition movie recording Entertain audiences with movies that capture the entire impact of the scene with Full HD. The Coolpix P100 can shoot up to 2 hours* of Full HD movies (1080p) with stereo sound with its conveniently positioned Movie-record button. Both the camera's optical zoom and autofocus functions continue to be available while filming. A stereo microphone optimally mounted on top of the camera accurately captures audio. The HS movie function provides the added benefit of recording movies that can be played back in slow motion or fast motion. *Recording stops automatically after 29 minutes. This figure is based on in-house testing standards and stated for recording at 25°C with a fully charged EN-EL5 battery. Actual results may vary greatly depending on factors that include differences in ambient temperature, and the amount of zoom and autofocus operations used. Five advanced image stabilizing features* help ensure sharper results Compensating for the effects of camera shake to realize sharper results and contribute to a more reassuring shooting experience, Image sensor shift and Electronic VR (Vibration Reduction) frees you to enjoy capturing special moments without worrying about slight hand movements. High ISO 3200 capability at any image size up to its maximum of 3648 x 2736 pixels allows faster shutter speeds when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects. Motion Detection automatically controls shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for subject movement as well as camera shake. And, Nikon's original BSS (Best Shot Selector) function automatically shoots a series of sequential frames and saves the one with the sharpest focus. * The camera selects and uses only the features required to optimize each image. Nikon's Smart Portrait System with Skin Softening As part of Nikon's Smart Portrait System, a series of advanced functions help produce consistently great portraits. The Skin Softening function ensures smooth skin tone on the face of subjects by leveraging built-in face-detection technology. Automatically detecting as many as 12 faces in the shot, Face-priority AF helps produce satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure. Smile Timer helps to faithfully record precious moments by automatically releasing the shutter when the subject smiles. Blink Warning alerts the photographer when it suspects that a subject has blinked, while the Blink Proof function shoots five sequential frames, then saves the one in which the subject's eyes are wide open. In-Camera Red-Eye Fix Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory. Four exposure modes P, S, A and M The Mode Dial provides quick access to the rich creative possibilities offered by advanced Programmed Auto [P], Shutter-priority Auto [S], Aperture-priority Auto [A], and Manual [M] exposure modes. Innovative Active D-Lighting function Enabled during shooting, Active D-Lighting is a unique technology that adds light and detail where necessary while leaving correctly exposed areas untouched to produce significantly improved images with a more natural-looking finish.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 448 of 454 people found this review helpful. Tons of performance in a very small box by Tom North is a device very versatile and suitable for most needs. It has a range of good macro go with a super zoom range. It compares well with a Panasonic DMC-GH1, which has a sensor much larger and more expensive lens (the lens is only twice the price of the Nikon). The Panasonic has also produced a higher saturation and contrast shots in default mode and it gives the appearance of a higher resolution. The Nikon has given a real auto color balance and contrast in the open more natural. Even at ISO 800 it was very strong. You can enlarge a few test shots on the DPReview forums by searching for "test shots Nikon P100." or if it works: [...] The two strengths that surprised me was the Nikon system indicator development. It's so cool that when you pull a bunch of flowers, the display shows each flower you selected by the matrix system of focus. You click the shutter with the knowledge that it is choosing what you want Wonderful. The second highlight is the range of the optics from good macro, nice wide angle, and amazing telephoto. Please see the photos I uploaded showing how well this camera compares. What the Nikon lacks mostly comes down to smooth tones and fine detail at high ISOs; and this is only because it is being compared to a large sensor camera. The images would easily pass a fairly critical viewer on an 8x10 print and seem to be better than previous cameras with this size sensor. Pros (so far): Great focus indicator system, Display shows small green squares over selected objects for focus = ready to shoot, red square = not ready Light, easy to hold good fit to my medium sized hands. Articulated screen seems more natural than the swing out to the side screens (aligned with lens) Quick access to shoot videos, focus tracking option, slow motion (lower res 240 fps), Hugh zoom range and quite fast action, 1½ ++ second end to end Outdoor sunlight colors quite natural Very good resolution lens for this price range and favorably compares to much more expensive lenses (see above photos, several are pieces of 16 x 20 prints) Very good macro versatility (see blowup of portion of terry towel above) Adequate viewfinder but very contrasty, necessary info in viewfinder Cons (so far): When shooting a video the focus is not able to keep up with the zoom (I reduced my rating because of this). No RAW image option (less important with tools like Corel Image Adjustment Lab that gives me color temperature correction on jpg) Lens cap rather than auto protect system, must remember to take it off before turning on camera (your notified when you forget) Must use the menu system for several settings (ISO, color balance), slower but OK (hats off to the Canon G11, Panasonic) Fast zoom over big range means it is tricky to accurately crop a shot (same with others though) Would love to see a 'nudge' feature for small changes Color balance with my photo fluorescent lights was tricky to dial in Quick shutter in most situations but not all No hot shoe for accessories and external flash Only an adequate viewfinder Minimum aperture of f8 (standard for cameras in this class, but would love to see it improved) Screen does not 'self protect' Must manually switch viewfinder verses LCD, simple one push button though 182 of 182 people found the following review helpful. Functionality of an SLR without the cost or expense By Ralph Furlong Ok, so I gave it a title that probably makes you wonder what I could possibly be talking about so here it is: 1 a really wide angle lens (26mm) for those close up shots and scenery shots (you know, the church with all of the spires that you have to backup all the way around the block to get into the picture). 2. a fantastic mechanical zoom lens that goes up to 678mm to bring in those distant shots (an with a tripod, the digital zoom puts you into the far objects pocket!). Keep in.
