About the Nikon Coolpix P3
The Nikon Coolpix P3 was released in February 2006 as a compact built around a 1/1.8-type CCD with about 8 effective megapixels. Its lens covers 36-126 mm in 35 mm terms, a 3.5x optical zoom, with an aperture range of F2.7-5.3.
The body measures 92x61x31mm and weighs about 200 g, with a 2.5-inch screen. It uses the dedicated EN-EL5 battery and records to SD cards. The 3.5x zoom and the F2.7 opening at the wide end make it flexible for street snapshots as well as subjects a little further away. The 8-megapixel count on a 1/1.8-type sensor gives room for moderate cropping. Its 2.5-inch screen is handy for checking framing.
Buying one used
The battery is the dedicated EN-EL5 and media is SD. Before buying, check battery life, how smoothly the lens extends, and what the 2.5-inch screen shows.
