Summary: Wonderful Camera
Comment: The camera is a GREAT camera full of features. My wife and I LOVE this digital camera for it's ease of use, ease of reviewing pictures, and the size of the LCD screen.
The features are incredible.

Summary: Out shoots my mother's
Comment: My Mom and I both are into photography as I inheirited her film camera and had to save up for the P1. The 8MP gives great enlargements. one problem I do have however is I will take a picture in Macromode and go back to it later on the computer and realize it was out of focus. Even after a year of ownership I still have a hard time finding the proper depth of field.
Good camera for night photos. I still rely on my Pentax K100 for the artistic stuff.

Summary: Nice camera!
Comment: I was looking for a small, easy-to-operate camera, that produced a nice large file. The P1 is a great camera. Small, easy to use, has a big bright viewing LCD, and seems relatively sharp. I wish that it had an optical viewfinder, but that's just my personal preference. The battery lasts a very long time (about 300 shots per charge) and the scene modes are handy. Also the video quality is above average, if you want that feature.
This camera is NOT being produced any more, but should be available from several vendors.

Comment: I can't say that I can tell a difference in photo quality from our 2 pixel camera we replaced.

Summary: Not quite up to the promise of Nikon
Comment: I've owned a number of film cameras over the years, and always prefered Nikon. The digital world is something different, though. I have owned Kodak, Sony, a couple of Canons, Konica, and a couple others too ghastly to name. I finally picked up the Nikon P1 at Costco after returning one of the ghastly ones. It is better than any of the others with the exception of my Canon 5MP Elph. Picture quality can be very good, but you often have to work for it. Automation levels for focus, flash, exposure etc just aren't anywhere near as good as with the Canon. An earlier review mentioned control issues - knob turns too easily, "dark flash" etc, and was very accurate. WiFi works, but is hardly worth the trouble. Again, it looks better on the box as a bullet point feature than the reality, as is the case with so much of this camera.
If you want to "work it" you can get very acceptable results, although there is more color "fuzzing" at the edges of details under heavy magnification than I see with the Canon.
If you want a camera that you can pick up, point, shoot and get routinely get better than expected photos, this isn't the camera for you. I use The P1 a good bit at work, but given a choice for family type events, I pick up the wife's Canon.
Consider the Canon Elph SD600 as an alternative to this.
