Fine camera, clumsy, hard-to-use manual on a CD

With my Nikon S600, I took its small, compact manual with me whenever I traveled. Even with my D5000 I can take the manual with me. Now this option does not exist. I will have to carry about lots of pages that I have printed.

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

Pros:
  • Pocket-size
  • high quality camera
Cons:

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.
