Description — Nikon Coolpix P1
The Nikon COOLPIX P1 is a point-and-shoot compact camera featuring an 8MP sensor in a 1/1.8 inch format, producing stills at up to 3264x2448 pixels. One of its standout hardware features is built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, complemented by USB — giving users two paths to transfer images from the camera's SD card storage. Autofocus uses a contrast detection system, and the 2.5 inch LCD serves as the sole framing and review display.
The minimum ISO 50 setting is useful for well-lit environments. Powering everything is an EN-EL8 Lithium-Ion battery. The plastic body weighs just 6.6 oz and measures 3-7/8" x 2-1/2" x 1-5/8", keeping it genuinely compact.
Video tops out at 480p. There is no image stabilization and no weather sealing, factors worth considering when evaluating this camera for your specific shooting needs.
