Nikon Coolpix P300 Digital Camera Review - The new Nikon Coolpix P300 is tested to find out how this serious pocket camera performs....Go To Full Review

Nikon’s Coolpix P300 compact digital camera is similar in price to the rest of its class, but has about two more megapixels, at a full 12 megapixel resolution. It also has 1080p HD video recording. The optically stabilized 24-100mm (equivalent in 35mm terms) Nikkor lens is crisp and helps with the great low-light performance of the camera....Go To Full Review

It can’t match the best compacts on the market, but top video and a quality lens make this camera an attractive proposition....Go To Full Review

Sporting an enviable catalogue of features, the Nikon Coolpix P300 would be well-suited to a DSLR user seeking an easier camera to transport for everyday use, or even a holiday alternative that shares the ability for manual command and a heightened performance in low light....Go To Full Review

The Nikon P300 lives up to its "P for Performance" designation with better-than-average high ISO performance and a generous, fast lens at wide angle....Go To Full Review

The P300 is a likeable and highly stylish premium compact that’s easy to use and capable of producing good results. While the 4.2x zoom range is a bit limited we do like the f/1.8 lens, even if it can’t produce the kind of defocused ‘bokeh’ to rival DSLR lenses. In addition, the P300’s low-light, high-speed and multiple-exposure shooting modes all have their uses and are capable of good results when used with due care. That said, it does lose points for not being able to record lossless Raw images. Ideally, we’d liked to have seen smoother and more precise zoom controls too, along with a wider choice of aspect ratios. Overall though, if you’re on the lookout for a stylish compact with DSLR-like control and some interesting shooting features, the P300 deserves to be on your shortlist....Go To Full Review

If you buy the Nikon Coolpix P300 thinking that it can’t get any better then you may be disappointed. Good though the camera is, it’s not quite up there with the larger-sensor (and better image quality) competitors such as the Canon PowerShot S95....Go To Full Review

I really wanted to like the P300. Right size, fast 24mm lens, no frills and gimmicks, good price. But it's not a compact I tend to reach for in practice. The small things all start adding up: very small sensor, no raw, rapid loss of aperture while zooming, small battery, the list seems to go on a bit too much....Go To Full Review
