- Slow shot-to-shot speed

Very welcome to the collection
Evening out? This is the one. you must set this camera on a shelf, fence, table or tripod to get one timer shots every time. It does very well hand held, just hold still and you'll be pleased at the low light peformance. Nice file size.

Great pix for what it is
If you're looking for a fast lens, excellent scenery captures night or day, versatility, and full manual... You're looking at the right tool. It is all those things. Where it falls short is in sensor size and zoom length. For my purposes it is excellent.
Pros:
- Excellent battery life
- Thoughtful Well Executed
- Very Bright Lens
Cons:
- Mediocre Zoom
- Sensor Size

Great substitute for when you can't carry your DSLR
I can't carry my DSLR everywhere (too big, heavy, and attention-getting), so I was pleased to find an affordable alternative in this Nikon Coolpix P310. One problem I always have is dark or blurry photos in low-light situations. This model reduces the problem quite a bit.

Nikon Coolpix P310
Roughly a year ago, we received the Nikon Coolpix P300 , a professional point and shoot compact camera that offered a plethora of functions, including an aperture of F/ 1.8 on the wide spectrum. The camera offered really good image quality, but left us overall quite unsatisfied.

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

Nikon COOLPIX P310
In the meat of Nikon's COOLPIX P310 sits a 16MP CMOS sensor and 4.2x optical zoom. The zoom itself covers a 35mm equivalent focal range of 24-100mm, although the main draw is really its fast maximum aperture.
Pros:
- Good LCD screen
- Pleasing design
- PASM control
Cons:
- Lack of Raw capture
- Metering and white balance issues

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.
Pros:

- Good build quality
- Fast
- f/1.8 lens (but only a wide angle
- PASM shooting modes
- Effective optical image stabilization

Cons:
- No RAW option
- Small sensor means it doesn't offer the image quality increase of other advanced compacts
- Flash unusable for closest macro capabilities (0.8 inches/2cm) due to overexposure and shadow cast by lens
- Image quality drops off above ISO 400
- noise levels very high by ISO 3200
- Noise...
