User Reviews for Nikon CoolPix P4 Digital Camera (8.1MP, 3264x2592, 3x Opt, 23MB Internal Memory, SD/MMC Slot)

  • Reviewed by: d_bondi

    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.
