Nikon Coolpix P310
Nikon’s newest offer in the “Performance” line of Coolpix cameras should impress every entry-level photographer. The camera’s retro design is simple, sleek, and attractive. Don’t be fooled though, Nikon made sure the camera is anything but retro, its all function here. The f/1.8 wide angle zoom lens on this camera provides enough flexibility to capture moments inside or outside, dark or bright. The 19 different scene modes are more than enough to assist photographers in new situations. The option for manual settings is also a highlight for those willing to go outside the comfortable world of shooting auto. The Coolpix P310 is offered at around $200.95 and is available now.
