The Nikon Coolpix P1 has 8.0MP resolution,
a 3.5x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens and an extra large
2.5 in. LCD monitor. It also has the distinction
of being the first consumer Wi-Fi digital camera
to market, allowing wireless image transfer, wireless
live transfer (moves images to the computer as
they are taken) and wireless direct print to any
PictBridge-compatible USB either connected to
the computer or direct to the printer (no computer
needed) through the use of the optional Wireless
Printer Adapter PD-10.
The Nikon P1 features a shutter speed range of
8-1/2,000 sec., and has Advanced Scene Modes,
available in 11 of the 16 Scene Modes and which
provide a 3-level selection for enhanced creativity
and control to customize the final image.
A 10-step Aperture Priority Mode offers greater
creative control, allowing you to select one of
10 depth-of-field settings (in 1/3 EV increments)
with Live Histogram.
Nikon's innovative D-Lighting function compensates
for exposure problems by adding light and detail
to dark areas of shots, while keeping brighter
areas just as they are. Nikon's In-Camera Red-Eye
Fix automatically does away with red eyes in-camera.
And Nikon exclusive BSS (Best Shot Selector) selects
and saves the best of a series of several shots.
The Nikon P1 incorporates the Nikon Face Priority
AF* function that uses advanced biometric facial
recognition technology to detect a person's face
at typical portrait taking distances, then automatically
focuses on the face area.
* Face recognition capability may be limited
depending on the shooting conditions.
The Nikon Coolpix P1 should appeal to
point-and-shoot and beginner photographers desiring
an easy-to-use wireless digital camera. For slightly
less resolution at 5.1MP, and for about $150 less,
check out the Nikon P2.
