Nikon Coolpix P3 VR Wi-Fi - Nikon Digital Cameras

The Nikon Coolpix P3 has 8.1MP resolution, a 3.5x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens and an extra large 2.5 in. LCD monitor. New is the addition of Vibration Reduction (VR) capability, Nikon's version of lens image stabilization used in its renowned SLRs. VR compensates for camera shake during hand-held shooting.

The Nikon P3 also comes with the freedom of wireless, offering Wi-Fi support, 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 P3 features a shutter speed range of 2-1/2,000 sec., and has a range of Advanced Scene Modes (9 Advanced Scene Modes; 7 Scene Modes) that gives photographers the ability to capture a single scene in different moods through the use of three effects that adjust brightness, colour intensity, sharpness, noise reduction and more.

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. AF Area focus with corresponding Spot AF area metering makes it easy to focus and meter on off-center subjects.

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 P3 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.

Shoot movies at up to 30fps, with choice of three sound modes. Additional time-lapse movie mode lets you take pictures over a long period of time and then create movies out of them by speeding up the action.

The Nikon Coolpix P3 should appeal to beginner and serious amateur photographers desiring an easy-to-use wireless digital camera with image stabilization and lots of other practical features.
