The Nikon P300, while not quite perfect, delivers a lot of bang for your buck – shooting 1080p video and solid images up to ISO 800. The controls are a bit of mixed bag as they give enthusiasts a serious level of control over their exposures; however,...
small size, dual rotational wheels for ease of use, bright aperture at wideangle, 1080p HD movie setting
no hotshoe, standardsized 1/2.3in compact sensor, lack of control buttons, no manual focus
The Nikon Coolpix P300 is a success for what it offers, but although it may look a lot like a Canon S95 on the outside, the differences on the inside see it as quite a different model. For a true high-end premium compact you'd be better to look elsewhe...

Because of the way the P300 is marketed, we’re tempted to really just lay into it with nary a positive word. As we’ve thoroughly stated by now, the Nikon COOLPIX P300 is no Canon PowerShot S95 contender, no competition for the Olympus XZ-1, and not in ...
On paper the Nikon Coolpix P300 beats its main rivals in most key areas - more megapixels, bigger LCD screen, faster continuous shooting, higher quality video - but the lack of RAW mode, physically smaller sensor and some questionable design decisions...

Sammanfattning: The Nikon COOLPIX P300 is a stylish compact camera with a remarkably powerful f/1.8 lens, starting at 24mm (35mm equivalent) with 4.2x optical zoom. High Refraction Index glass further ensures sharp images with high contrast. Combined with its powerfu...
I really wanted to like the P300. Right size, fast 24mm lens, no frills and gimmicks, good price. But it's not a compact I tend to reach for in practice. The small things all start adding up: very small sensor, no raw, rapid loss of aperture while zoom...
