Nikon Coolpix P100 – A Digital Medley!
Introduction:
Promising an exquisite array of features, faster performance and with a commitment of delivering more for a lesser price the Nikon Coolpix P100 has entered the market offering tough competition to its rivals. Let’s find out how far it succeeds in doing so.
Features:
Nikon Coolpix P100 is one of the few digital cameras that offer ISO settings as high as 3200 which makes your night time pictures also to look as clear and beautiful as those shot during the day time. The Best Shot Selector (BSS) feature of the camera takes 10 pictures out of which it retains the most sharpest & clearer image for future retrieval. Not many cameras of the same range offer this feature.
Pros:
• Make prints of 16 x 20 inches without foregoing any quality with the powerful 10.3 megapixels resolution of the camera.
• Whether you are shooting an entire spectrum of the rainbow or a beautiful edifice in its entirety the NIKKOR ED Glass Lens of 26X optical wide-angle zoom will capture every inch of it for you in great detail. For capturing action shots of your favorite game you can use Sports Continuous shooting option; it allows you to shoot continuously 120 frames per second.
• Shoot Full HD movie with 1080p HD resolution and connect it to your TV or PC to enjoy watching it with your family.
Cons:
• Quality of the images is no where near the hefty price this camera carries.
• Using the zoom option is a pretty noise affair with this camera.
• The camera does not offer RAW image support and this can be a major disappointment for most of the users.
Pricing Range: Grab this power-packed camera by paying just 379$-410$! Available in Black!
Final Verdict: The Nikon Coolpix P100 has too much on its platter- various shooting modes, bounty of features, faster shooting gimmicks and all. But what fails to satisfy or rather disapprovingly shocks the user is the decadent quality of its pictures & video. With too many things going on with this model, the Nikon has failed to focus on the most crucial factor, quality. Apparently, lack of quality has left the Nikon Coolpix P 100 camera as a soulless body!
