DP Interface has finished their review of the 8.1 megapixel Nikon Coolpix P4 and rate it 6.9 out of 10. They go on to write -
“The Nikon Coolpix P4 along with its WiFi-enabled sibling, the P3, are both for casual shooting and you’re at the camera’s mercy in action shots since both have slow performance. That’s probably one of the reasons Nikon included a time lapse shooting feature - the Coolpix P4 is not for action or low-light shooting! And for a last rambling, the P4 currently sells for the same price as the P3. I wouldn’t recommend the Nikon Coolpix P4 as there are other (better) cameras worth your time.”
What’s hot: 3.5x zoom lens with optical image stabilization 2.5 inch LCD with average resolution and visibility Good build quality Aperture control and some other changeable settings User-friendly; many scene modes and built-in help Interval shooting feature can be useful Nice VGA movie recording at 30 FPS Above average, good image quality
What’s not: Below average battery life Not for low-light; average flash, poor AF in the dark, no ISO 800 Slow performance in almost all aspects, small buffer No control over shutter speed, no live histogram either Plastic compartment door and tripod mount WiFi enabled Nikon P3 retails at around same price
