Nikon Coolpix P310

The Nikon Coolpix P310 is a fair bit cheaper than some similar cameras such as the Canon Powershot S100 . It lacks a couple of features compared to that camera such as GPS and a RAW mode. If those are not important to you then this camera becomes a lot more attractive.
Pros:
  • Features
  • compact size
  • colours when flash is used
Cons:
  • Picture quality not as good as other cameras in this category
  • no RAW mode

  • Good high ISO performance
  • Excellent control layout

Pros:
  • Great Features
  • Great Picture Quality

The Nikon Coolpix P310 is a hard camera to categorise. In terms of its size and operational ergonomics it's up against the Canon PowerShot S100, the Fujifilm X10, Olympus XZ-1 and Sony Cyber-shot RX100.

  • Affordable price compared to other advanced compact camera
  • Good build quality
  • Fast
  • f/1.8 lens (but only a wide angle

  • Flash unusable for closest macro capabilities (0.8 inches/2cm) due to overexposure and shadow cast by lens

Am very disappointed in the Nikon P310's HD Video capabilities, and its only a average still-image picture taker as well. I'm going to return it today for a refund or credit. The 1080p and 720p HD video clips of moving objects like cars and trains jitter during playback, and sometimes a lot.

The P310 has an ISO of up to 3200 and a lens that offers the same fast maximum aperture of f/1.8. New features include a lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function which offers camera shake compensation equivalent to a four-step increase in shutter speed, a custom function button on the front of...
Pros:
  • Pocket-size
  • high quality camera
Cons:
  • The P310 definitely looks a lot like Canon’s S100
  • it’s clear that Nikon is trying its damnedest to focus attention away from Canon
