    Product Description

    From the Manufacturer

    Create in any light.

    The fastest lens ever in a Nikon COOLPIX.

    The COOLPIX P300 camera does justice to your photographic talents with a 4.2x wide angle, f/1.8 maximum aperture NIKKOR glass lens. This is the fastest lens Nikon has ever designed into a COOLPIX camera—it offers a 24-100mm optical zoom range and impressive telephoto performance for razor-sharp images. Plus, its maximum aperture of f/1.8 assures exceptional low-light results and minimum depth of field. This outstanding lens will showcase your skills whether you're shooting portraits, panoramas, weddings, real estate, products, publicity stills or any other challenging compositions—and will do so with still images or Full HD (1080p) movies. Simply put, this high-performance lens catches detailed images while displaying Nikon's proud tradition of producing precision camera optics.

    Advanced features for challenging conditions.

    Its 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor provides superb image quality, high speed operation and exceptional low-light performance. The back-illuminated CMOS lets you shoot true-to-life pictures with remarkable detail and color clarity. The COOLPIX P300's four-way VR Image Stabilization is also a boon for handheld shooting. Custom optimized for this COOLPIX P300 model, Nikon's exclusive EXPEED C2 processing engine enhances professional quality images.

    You'll also love Motion Detection's ability to identify moving objects in frame, adjust shutter speed and ISO, and freeze the subject to create stunningly sharp photos. When activated, Best Shot Selector automatically records up to ten shots with a single press of the shutter and then selects and saves only the best image. The camera's high ISO speed of up to 3200 with advanced noise reduction assures brilliant still images of dimly lit and fast moving photo subjects.

    Manual control for the serious photographer.

    The COOLPIX P300 allows photographers to stretch their creative limits with an impressive range of manual control. There's a Mode Dial for quick and convenient control over select settings, including shutter/aperture/programmed and manual exposure. Exposure Bracketing automatically brackets exposure for three shots. And the ISO can be set as high as 3200 at full resolution to control image quality in low-light conditions or when shooting fast moving subjects.

    High-Contrast Monochrome

    The COOLPIX P300 also features several new in-camera special effects, including High-Contrast Monochrome for sophisticated black and white shots. Nostalgic Sepia adds character and mood or creates shots with an antiqued look. In-camera editing functions such as active D-Lighting restore details and contrast. This camera comes with several filter effects like Painting, Fisheye, Miniature, and Cross Screen. You can also control images with a creative slider that adjusts brightness, intensity and hue.

    Full HD movie recording at 1080p

    HD movies have become the standard for web posting, website design enhancement, publicity clips and real estate property tours—or simply for capturing action that delivers so much more impact in high quality video. With the COOLPIX P300, you can shoot Full HD (1080p) movies while recording full stereo sound. The One-Touch recording button allows instant moviemaking, while the optical zoom control creates a variety of cinematic effects. Slow and fast motion HD movie options for 15, 60 and 120 fps*. Viewing and sharing your movies is simple too, with an HDMI-CEC output that allows in-camera playback or convenient hookup to an HDTV or computer.

    * reduced resolution

    The COOLPIX P300 takes the guesswork out.
    Advanced Night Landscape mode

    Every shooting environment comes with its own unique characteristics, and the COOLPIX P300 has intuitive features to help you master each one. It optimizes settings for up to 20 common scenes so you simply point and shoot. Turn on the Scene Auto Selector and the camera automatically recognizes the scene you're in and selects the best one from among seven choices. With Nikon's ingenious Easy Panorama Scene Mode, just pan in any direction and it will automatically detect the movement, then combine and assemble the various shots into one seamless 180-or 360-degree panoramic image.

    Nikon knows that night and low-light shooting present tricky challenges. Advanced Night Landscape and the related Advanced Night Portrait are invaluable tools that eliminate the guesswork by shooting consecutive shots at fast shutter speed and composing them into sharp depictions of night scenes.

    Convenient features

    Photo ops often arrive without warning, but your COOLPIX P300 is always ready with invaluable features like ultra fast start-up and autofocus—plus automatic High Speed Shooting that can capture up to seven shots in a second at full resolution. You can compose your shot using the large, three-inch LCD Clear Color Display. This precision, 921,000-dot, ultra-high resolution screen produces rich detail and excellent contrast, and includes anti-glare coating for easy viewing of photos and HD movies.

    921,000-dot, ultra-high resolution screen

    Nikon's Smart Portrait System offers useful tools that refine every shot. Smile Timer automatically releases the shutter when your subject smiles, while Face-Priority AF detects and focuses up to 12 faces at once. When activated, Blink Warning alerts you when a subject may have blinked and suggests a retake. The innovative in-camera Red-Eye Fix‡ addresses the problem by correcting for red-eye while the camera is shooting. Uneven or ruddy complexions can also be corrected with Skin Softening, which smoothes skin tones at three different levels and can be applied while shooting or during playback. Your close up shots will also be enhanced by the COOLPIX P300's Macro Shooting capabilities, taking clear, sharp pictures as close as 1.2 inches. And feel free to click away, as this COOLPIX has a 240-still shot capacity and comes with an EN-EL12 Li-ion rechargeable battery.

    Mostly good except for some quirks

    Mostly good except for some quirks
    Owned this camera for a week now and already have a few irritants to report. But first the good stuff.1- Excellent fast f1.8 lens- works better than my canon g12 in low light (g12 is f2.8 only)2- Love the high res screen3- Minimalist form/design appeals to me4- Interesting scene modes- like the panorama and high contrast monochrome in particular5- pop up flash is easy to understand-works only when popped up6- 24mm wide angle - i am considering a tokina 11-16 mm for my canon t2i but i like the fact that this little camera also has wide angle capabilities. Hope to take some creative pics and post soon.I was wanting to buy the P310 (which is still not available as of Feb 2012) but settled for the p300 as it is cheaper and doesn't have a 16 mp sensor (a bad idea IMO for such small sensors). Also considered the canon s100 but that is too expensive and the G1x's price is simply obscene. Sony Hx9v was another option but the lens on p300 is way better.Now for the irritants:1- Proprietary charging port- Nikon, why? Not to mention the brick like wall adapter that is half the camera size.2- The charging equipment mentioned above makes it hard to fit the whole camera + adapter+USB connector in a portable case that can be attached to your belt. I am still struggling to find one on amazon.3- The battery indicator on LCD is not dependable. It goes from fully charged to half suddenly and then within a few shots it drains completely. If you see it at half level, safely assume it is 95% consumed and recharge asap. I hope P310 has his fixed. I guess my big G12 battery has spoilt me.4- The playback button needs to be pressed longer than expected in order to turn on the camera without extending the lens. At first i thought the only way to see images was by turning the camera on completely by pushing the power button. I haven't read the manual so this may be my bad.5- Finally, the images do not rotate when you rotate the camera (like it does in the iphone and G12). Maybe it is not a feature. I also hear a low ticking sound each time i shake the camera. Maybe it is the VR system but i dont know. If any of you also hear it please comment. I hope it is not a defect in my unit.So far, i am still enjoying the camera results. The 1080p video is very good too.Image quality is fantastic for a P&S.I will still test this camera out for a few more days and if i dont find any new flaws i may just keep it. Currently I want to rate it 3 stars because of the negatives but going with 4 stars due to excellent image quality and video capabilities. Thanks for reading and hope this review helps.
