Nikon Coolpix P4 Review

by Richard Baguley

- Perhaps the most notable feature of the small, lightweight Coolpix P4 is its vibration reduction mode. In our informal tests, this feature did an effective job of reducing camera shake.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Size, 8MP, Auto Mode, 2.5" LDD

    Weaknesses: No View Finder

    Overall Evaluation: This is a great little compact camera and the second Nikon Coolpix that I have owned. It is solidly constructed, and takes great pictures. The 2.5" LCD is great. I love the size, it fits in my pocket. With a 3 year old, my problem was my old Nikon was just too big to carry around everywhere, so I missed a lot of great moments. Not anymore. I recommend this little camera.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: weight, size of screen, multiphoto option, price, reduced vibration

    Weaknesses: slippery body, camera design--fingers in front of lens?

    Overall Evaluation: I have a nikon 850 I bought years ago and loved it because it felt great in my hand and was easy to use. I took movies, slides and night shots to just play with the camera. It looks like what a camera should look like to take good pictures. Silly huh? This new one is small and a bit slippery that one should always use the strap.I'VE OWNED IT ONE WEEK--so no revelations about quality and using the vibration reduction feature.
