We love the simple, no frills styling of the Nikon Coolpix P300, and the neat design is backed up perfectly by high-end build quality. The P300 is easily tough enough for everyday use, and the aluminium casing is also tactile. The Coolpix 300 features a 12.2-megapixel sensor, and it's capable of delivering pin-sharp images. You'll be able to shoot video in full 1080p high-definition, and there's

Not to be confused with the larger-sensor competition, the Nikon Coolpix P300 does a decent job in the mid-high level compact market. No RAW capture may be a bugbear for those wanting fuller control, yet a decent AF system, full manual control and dual...
