Nikon Corporation has further expanded its family of compact digital cameras with the introduction of the COOLPIX P3 model. It combines an exceptional 8.1 megapixels of resolution with an array of advanced features, marking a leap forward in picture-taking enjoyment. The COOLPIX P3 features a 1/1.8-inch CCD and, because it offers 8.1 effective megapixels of image resolution, the camera delivers outstanding imaging power that???s not only enough to show beautiful skin texture and capture the myriad colours of the human eye. It also means shots stay breathtakingly clear even when significantly enlarged. The model incorporates a high-quality 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor lens with a focal range equivalent to that of a 36-126mm lens in 35mm format. This provides ample opportunity to zoom in for close compositions, zoom right out to capture breathtaking scenery and even enjoy macro shooting from as close as 4cm.
