...of the smallest in the Nikon range, measuring only 3.6 x 2.4 x 11.5 inches. The shape of the camera makes it easy to hold, although i would still recommend that the camera strap was used as well, for extra safety!!! The camera has a jet black metal body, with the Nikon logo on the FRONT right hand corner of the camera, written in silver and it's name (Coolpix P1) just below this. The flash is in the centre of the camera front and is around an inch ...
...holes, these are the microphones which are used when you are filming, they are very discrete, I didn't even notice them for the first few months! The BACK of the camera has a large (2.5-inches) LCD screen, along with several dials and buttons in order to operate the camera, and its various functions.

A great camera. If your looking for a small one then it might be a bit bulky, but has a great dial, use and internal memory. I put a1Gb card it in and get 300 ish photos. A great .

Disadvantages: Drains Power quickly when connected to computer & while using rear view panel.

I purchased a Nikon Coolpix 8800 a few months ago as a spare back up camera to my Nikon D70. I have owned a few digital compacts & found that the 8800 is a far more versitile compact towards my earlier compacts. This camera works brilliant with a Nikon WC-E80 Wide angle lens, this makes the Panaramic feature more usable allowing the shooter to take bigger Panaramic pictures with less shots.

...use this camera or a Nikon power pack wich holds 6AA batteries, I have found that the standard batteries are substandard & drain quite quickly when using some of the features (auto focus, rear view panal, uploading images). I also find the Computer lead attachment socket awkward. On a good note I have found the Nikon Coolpix 8800 a very versitile compact giving out brilliant image quality & definition, I would recomend that this camera is more ... Read review
