The Coolpix P1 is the world’s first built-in Wi-Fi-enabled digital camera available now. This groundbreaking camera allow users to immediately transmit images wirelessly directly to a computer – or to any PictBridge-enabled printer equipped with the optional Nikon Wireless Printer Adapter (PD-10), for wireless printing. The Coolpix P1 literally pulls the plug on digital imaging while showcasing Nikon’s commitment to providing the latest in digital imaging technology. The Coolpix P1 gives you the freedom – with the push of a button – to immediately share and print your images like never before. The Coolpix eight-megapixel P1 is the world’s first digital camera with built-in Wi-Fi capabilities to transmit images via 802.11b and 802.11g-compatible wireless networks and adapters to a computer or most PictBridge-enabled printers equipped with the new optional Nikon Wireless Printer Adapter (PD-10). Eliminating the need for extra wires or cables, the new models allow consumers to send images from the camera direct to a selected computer or printer with the touch of a button. With a range of up to 100 feet, the P1 enables users to transfer images on-the-go from almost anywhere in a home, office-even from the backyard.

Digital Camera MagazineA superb all-rounder, offering great image quality, ease of use, top photo features, accessible wireless technology, plus it all comes at a very reasonable price. It also produces good colour reproduction and pin-sharp detail. Fast, fun and about as future-proofed as a digital camera can be. |

Trusted ReviewsEven without wireless technology, the CoolPix P1 is a superb high-end compact camera, with attractive and user-friendly design, rock solid build quality, some dazzling technology and excellent picture quality. It’s a little pricy compared to some of its competition, but it’s got the quality to back it up. |

Steve's DigicamsBottom line – Nikon’s Coolpix P1 is a nice ultra-compact digicam that produces good quality 8-megapixel images and VGA sized movies; and lets not forget its 802.11 b/g certified. I liked just about every feature on this model, and was only annoyed when trying to capture spontaneous moments of friends and family indoors. At about $399, it offers a good value and will make a great choice for family, business, or tourist users and is sure to please the WiFi geeks who hate wires. |

Imaging ResourceOverall, a good choice for the point & shoot user looking for an easy to use, compact digital camera with a surprising range of capabilities. At the same time though, it’s also an appealing option for the more advanced shooter looking for a “pocket” camera. A Dave’s Pick for its image quality, good styling, and rich feature set. |

Let's Go DigitalTThe Nikon Coolpix P1 is the start of another whole new period: the time of transferring pictures through networks. For now it may just be a toy for the so-called ‘early adapters’ but soon this will be the most common thing to do in the world. Those who buy the Nikon Coolpix P1 now are prepared for the future and are able to make photos of excellent quality in the meantime. This makes the Nikon Coolpix P1 a truly recommendable digital camera. |

Digital Camera InfoNikon started with a basic set of features: 8 megapixels, 3.5x optical zoom lens, 2.5-inch LCD screen and crammed them in a compact body with a built-in wireless port. The consumer wireless market is quite new and the P1 is one of the first three models in this new segment. The P1 has stiff competition and answers with more megapixels and a bit more manual functionality. However, the Nikon Coolpix P1 also skimps in some very important areas. |

Digital Photography InterfaceThe Nikon Coolpix P1 (and P2), unlike the other 2 WiFi cameras on market from Kodak and Canon, have several protrusions; namely the lens barrel and grip. The Nikon Coolpix P1 (And even the Kodak EasyShare One) are not meant for shirt pockets but maybe a bag or coat pocket. |

CNETThe Nikon Coolpix P1’s most noticeable flaw is its somewhat sluggish performance. Slower than many cameras in its class, it takes more than 5 seconds to grab its first shot after powering up, and it has a poor continuous-shooting rate of 0.7 to 1.4 frames per second. Shutter lag is average at around 0.7 second. Some users may find the Nikon Coolpix P1’s photo quality good enough to offset the poor performance, but you may want to shop around a little before deciding. |

PC MagThe 8MP Nikon Coolpix P1 and P2 can claim the title of the first wireless (802.11b/g) point-and-shoot digital cameras in the consumer marketplace. But the Coolpix P1, which we tested, can’t claim the title of the easiest wireless point-and-shoot to use, that honor goes to the Kodak EasyShare-One. In fact, we found the Coolpix P1’s wireless features somewhat frustrating. And if you’re spending nearly $550 (or almost $350 for the P2), we think you deserve a smoother wireless experience. |

The Globe & MailBottom line? It really is a nice camera, but if you’re buying it for the wireless, you may be disappointed until Nikon works out a fix. |
