Powerful little camera- Nikon Cool Pix P4

Strengths: Flexibility, excellent pictures, great video and sound pickup, easy to use controls, 2 vibration reductions, review picture without extending lens. in camera guide book.

Weakness: miss glass view finder in bright sun.

I consider it my compact SLR. It has so many possible settings, I enjoy learning them as needed. The auto setting is very adequate for most shots. Face recognition focus in portrait mode is fun. It brackets a face even off center and bracket turns green when face is in focus. Press review button 2 seconds and screen lights up without lens extending. Great for editing without wasting battery....

Good PIcture quality

Strengths: 8.0 MP for a reasonable price, lots of manuals controls and user friendly.

Weakness: 3X Optical zoom, picture gets fuzzy in full zoom

Not too big and heavy but pocket size and with 8.0MP, its a good camera. Useful for both amateurs and advanced amateurs. My wife uses it as a simple point and shoot where as I toggle with advanced features. The P3 version has a wireless function but I think P4 is better as its a bit cheaper. You could spend those additional $100 for buying a higher memory card. P.S: Please be aware that a Card...

CoolPix P4 Camera

Strengths: Easy to use, great pictures and fits nicely into my pocket. my wife likes it too.

Weakness: None so far

I like the preprogrammed settings. I take a lot of snap shots and this camera is easy to carry and produces the results that I want. I am not a professional but do enjoy the pictures the colors are very accurate. Houston

Nikon Coolpix P4

Strengths: Size, 8MP, Auto Mode, 2.5" LDD

Weakness: No View Finder

This is a great little compact camera and the second Nikon Coolpix that I have owned. It is solidly constructed, and takes great pictures. The 2.5" LCD is great. I love the size, it fits in my pocket. With a 3 year old, my problem was my old Nikon was just too big to carry around everywhere, so I missed a lot of great moments. Not anymore. I recommend this little camera.

coolpix p4

Strengths: weight, size of screen, multiphoto option, price, reduced vibration

Weakness: slippery body, camera design--fingers in front of lens?

I have a nikon 850 I bought years ago and loved it because it felt great in my hand and was easy to use. I took movies, slides and night shots to just play with the camera. It looks like what a camera should look like to take good pictures. Silly huh? This new one is small and a bit slippery that one should always use the strap. I'VE OWNED IT ONE WEEK--so no revelations about quality and using...

Nikon Coolpix P4

This camera has effective antishake and offers a good selection of image controls. It's slow to start up, however.

Nikon Coolpix P3 and P4 First Impressions Review

Nikon says the “P” in its P line of Coolpix models stands for Performance, and on specs alone the Nikon Coolpix P3 and P4 seem to come loaded with some pretty decent firepower. Both models offer a new 1/1.8-inch CCD chip with 8.1 megapixels of image resolution and introduce Vibration Reduction (VR) and optical image stabilization into its consumer-targeted Coolpix line. Nikon, like a lot of...
