Worth the Money at the New Price I picked this camera up at the new lower price ($150 less). For this price the camera is definately worth the money. From a picture taking standpoint the camera is great. 8-Megapixel photos that look great, great flexibility for different sceens and a pretty quick shutter release are the highlights. The camera does have some difficulty focusing in dark situations especially if you have zoomed in and the object is too far away.
The only real problem I encountered is setting up th...

Nikon P!, great pictures and features The Nikon P1 is my first digital camera. I have waited for prices to come down and features to go up. My 20 year old Nikon F2 was stolen which made the decision pretty easy. I am amazed at all the features available in this small camera. The pictures are excellent even in automatic mode. The camera has 16 scene modes as well and two different levels of semi-manual mode. I did not have problems setting up the Wi-fi connection on my network and was surprised at all the reviews complaining abo...

Nikon P1 Could Be Better I am a consummate camera buff having been in photography since the mid 1970s. I have used many different cameras (Canons, Pentaxes, Olympuses, Kodaks, Polariods, an Agfa, even had a Minolta for a brief time, yuck!) and shot tens of thousands of photos all over the world. In 2003, I retired my T-50 and EOS 650 and stepped into the digital world with a Canon "Powershot" S-50. (It has been a delight not having to fumble with film while having the capacity to take 1000s of shots on a 1.0GB card!)...

Great camera with no wifi issues I find the Nikon P1 to be a great point a shoot camera. I had no problems with it right out of the box. I have taken many well developed pictures and I'm more then pleased with it.
This is a point and shoot camera so you do give up full manual control. But there is a variety of features to let you play around and be creative to a certain extent.
I've gone through most the settings and have had very little to complain about. The only pictures that have not turne...

Just not fast enough for snap shots I love it's small size (easy to pocket), decent looks (it's a camera after all), outdoor picture quality (could be better indoors) and of course the wifi feature (easy to use, IF you have WinXP!).
If you like to take spur of the moment shots though, this camera is just not up to snuff, especially indoors. It just takes too long to boot up and focus. Between photos there is a good 2 second lag, at least. Not good if you like to take photos of your kids in an "oh so cute" action situa...

Great Camera
I initially had some problems setting up the Wi Fi on this camera. The instructions for using this with an Apple computer could definitely be more clear (not sure if the same issues exist for PCs).
BUT in fact it is easy to set up the wireless (if only they'd explained it better to begin with!) and it works like a charm. You can set up your computer to display a slideshow of photos, and the ones you snap are automatically added to the slideshow as soon as you take them. G...

(even more) fine print on the wireless transfer In order to use the wireless, in addition to the widely publicized need to have Nikon's software installed, there is an additional requirement for using Windows XP if you're on a PC. Though the USB cable works fine on my Win2k box, my inability to try out the flashy new feature is annoying. Hopefully Nikon will release a firmware update to uncripple the wireless very soon.
The wide end has moderate barrel distortion & the flash doesn't fill the frame. Aperture priority doesn't do an...

Look at the New List price from Nikon. The old list price will never go back. Amazon says (40%)
off the exploded old list price. This camera is getting mixed reviews. A lower price would help the likability of this camera.
It's WI-FI feature is not so great..look at the Canon SD430 at what it can do. Video only uses the digital zoom of 2x and makes .MOV files which are Apple software files and very large file size with HQ video. The LCD is cluttered with all the different settings available. Read the manual on Nikons webs...

Great digital camera Works great right out of the box. Simple, intuitive, easy to use. Takes great pictures with the point and shoot mode. Lots of custom options available for special pictures and creative types. Small compact size, but easy to hold. Not too small. Good battery life.

Nice camera, but far too slow to focus to get any action shots Gamer head is right. The boot time is not the issue, in low light, with a moving subject, forget it, you will never get the shot. The camera is very slow to focus under low light conditions. Also, you will find most everything indoors or cloudy conditions is low light. thus, no catching any spontaneous nighttime cuteness or following animals at the zoo on a cloudy day, etc. Over all a nice still shot camera, but must have very fast memory to use movie mode, and no low light movement or your...
