Camera OverviewNikon Coolpix P610

The Nikon COOLPIX P610 is a point-and-shoot superzoom camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor. It shoots stills at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels and supports a burst mode capable of up to 7 frames per second, giving shooters a reasonable buffer for capturing fast-moving subjects. On the video side, the P610 records up to 1080p footage with frame rate options spanning 24fps, 25fps, 30fps, and 60fps, covering both cinematic and broadcast-friendly standards.

The camera's optical image stabilization system helps manage camera shake, complemented by a digital IS option as well. For composition and review, shooters get two display options: a 3-inch fully articulated LCD with 921k-dot resolution, which is genuinely useful for low-angle and overhead shots, and an electronic viewfinder that also resolves at 921k dots. ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 6400, providing a usable range across varied lighting conditions.

Connectivity includes built-in Wi-Fi and USB, allowing for wireless image transfer and tethered use. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. The camera weighs 565g and is powered by Nikon's EN-EL23 rechargeable lithium-ion battery, rated for approximately 360 shots per charge.
