 Nikon P1 preview : At the IFA in Berlin Nikon held their press conference where a new range of Coolpix digital cameras was introduced. Among them the new Nikon Coolpix P1 digital camera. With the introduction of the Coolpix P1, Nikon introduces their first digital camera with Wi-Fi built-in. The Nikon Coolpix P1, together with its smaller brother the Coolpix P2, is the world's first digital camera with built-in wireless communication for the consumer market. Wait a minute, I can already imagine you thinking about the Kodak EasyShare-One camera… Well; it has wireless features, but not built-in. We have had a pre-production model of the Nikon Coolpix P1 for a short while in our office so we took some time to create a preview for you.

 Nikon P1 Wi-Fi connection
The Nikon Coolpix P1 is an easy to handle digital camera with a high resolution CCD on board. Equipped with a standard optical zoom lens providing an optical range of 36-126mm (equivalent to 35mm format) and the automatic pre-programmed scenes, you could say it is just one of those digital cameras out there waiting to get used for easy shooting. However, the integration of a true wireless communication is unique, only Canon and Kodak have a camera in their assortment with wireless features. The question is: will Wi-Fi connected digital cameras have potential, will it be the big feature to push a news series of digital cameras towards the consumer? Personally I am sure that wireless transfer will offer great comfort and will add new possibilities to the already packed cameras. Time will tell…
Nikon Coolpix P1 Wireless digital camera
The Nikon Coolpix P1 is a nice compact camera to work with. The one feature that makes the difference is the wireless transfer mode which is built-in to the digital camera. I have used it myself during the short period I have had the pre-production model in the office and I have to say it works flawlessly. Once you have setup the profile it is as easy to use as your wireless Internet. I can imagine that a lot of consumers are not ready yet for wireless at this moment, but the Nikon P1, for sure, is one of the first generations of digital camera's featuring wireless communication; many will follow! The features of the Coolpix P1, 8 Megapixel camera are appealingly straightforward. Either you use it as easy as you want it to be by activating the scene modes and let the built-in intelligent software do the rest or you use the A and S modes for more creative photography. Whatever you select it brings you the result you want, captured still images and video clips! Click on the link below to enter our Nikon Coolpix P1 preview.
