Фотоаппарат делает прекрасные снимки. Рабочие ISO 100 - 400, на остальных начинается заметный шум, по-этому при работе на автомате желательно ограничивать выбор ISO. Фотоаппарат удивительно быстро включается и готов к работе. Есть...

Хорошо
Меня фотоаппарат вполне устраивает.
- + Компактные размеры, высокое разрешение фотографий, яркие и четкие снимки
- - Сложно снимать в помещении при искусственном свете. Очень много желтых и смазанных кадров. Довольно сложное меню для дилетанта. Настоятельно рекомендую сначала прочитать руководство пользователя.
Удобный фотоаппарат в первую очередь для тех, кто только начинает увлекаться фотографией. В меру компактный. Быстро загружается с момента включения, до момента готовности к съемке. Высокое разрешение и возможность макросьемки. На улице получаются просто шикарные снимки. Цветность очень хорошая и близкая к оригиналу. В помещении приходится приноравливаться и хитрить с освещением. В первую очередь надо снимать только со вспышкой, иначе фотографии получаются низкого качества, в оранжевых тонах, часто смазанные движения. При съемке со вспышкой следует обратить внимание на освещение заднего плана, иначе может получиться светлое пятно на темном фоне. Проблемы пропадают, как только выходишь из помещения на улицу, даже ночью при свете фонарей кадры получаются очень хорошие. Если приноровиться, то фотоаппарат становится довольно неплохим инструментом для съемки хороших и интересных фотографий!

- + 1. Компактный.
2. Нормально для такого класса фотоаппарата снимает.
3. Довольно много мегапикселей.
4. Быстрый. Не сломался бы раньше времени только!:)
5. Умный.
6. Много настроек, много чего можно отрегулировать.
7. Аккумулятор более емкий, чем в среднем у компактов.
8. Есть белый цвет.
9. Отсутствует GPS.
10. Отсутствует Touchscreen.
11. Пишет неплохое видео 1080/30p с потоком примерно 19Мбит/с.
12. Пишет нормально фото и видео на самых старых и малоизвестных картах памяти.
13. Контроль перегрева при съемке видео.
14. Режим с понижением шумов (серия с объединением в один снимок).
15. Детектор движения объекта в авто режиме полезен для тех, кто в невменяемом состоянии фоткает спонтанно движущиеся объекты и хочет в итоге что-то увидеть на фото.:)
16. Красные глаза убираются не серией предварительных вспышек, а автоматическим анализом и редактированием при сохранении снимка в камере.
17. Хороший прорезиненый упор сзади для большого пальца. Есть также прорезиненый упор спереди, но на мой взгляд он маловат. Но лучше такой, чем никакого вообще.
18. Стабилизатор работает. При съемке с рук на максимальном зуме результат виден даже очень. - - 1. Сильное мыло при съемке мелких периодических структур) ткань и т.п.).
2. Разъем USB почему-то сделали внизу, а не сбоку, закрыли его какой-то хлипкой крышкой, не внушающей доверия, тип разъема не самый распространенный - придется все время таскать с собой USB кабель. Хотелось бы именть стандартный micro-USB, как у моего коммуникатора, чтобы два кабеля и две зарядки с собой не таскать все время в поездки.
3. Плохо реализована встроенная функция HDRi.
4. У белого аппарата крышка батарейного отсека и боковые части объектива почему-то выкрашеы в черный цвет. Вид не портит, но нежелательный нагрев на прямом солнце даст.
5. Корпус хлипкий в нижней части, легко продавливается пальцами.
6. Немного темноват на длинном конце.
7. Иногда странный шум при включении-выключении. Такое ощущение, что что-то трещит и сейчас сломается.
8. Отсутствует шифрование файлов, даже самое простое. Украдут фотик - и все личные фото попадут в чужие руки.
9. Индикатор батареи имеет всего 3 положения: "заряжен полностью", "пора заряжать" и "разряжен/мертвый"). Это неудобно...

- + 1. наличие режимов PSAM
2. светосильный обьектив
3. быстрый старт
4. быстрая фокусировка
5. вспышка выскакивает не когда хочет, а когда захочет хозяин
6. кнопка быстрого выбора параметров Fn
7. качественная сборка
8. и самое главное - очень достойное качество снимков. Если конечно не сниавть везде в авторежиме - если не A,S,M, то хотя бы в P снимайте и выбирайте правильно сюжет.
9. отличное соотношение цена/качество - - 1. разьём подключения к ПК и зарядке снизу - вполне можно было сбоку возле hdmi расположить.
2. слабый аккумулятор - сразу нужно приобретать запасной
3. при зуммировании не видно значения фокусного растояния - это было бы удобно.
4. хотелось бы матрицу 1/1,7 - это уже придирка, стоимость была бы как у Canon s100
5. не хватает одной кнопки Fn, хочется вторую, но это тоже придирка.
Во-первых хотелось бы всех предостречь от наиболее похвальных и наиболее ругательных комментариев. Действуйте как на фигурном катании - самая низкая и самая высокая оценка не учитываются. Из отзывов по данному аппарту мнением doom1good можно полностью пренебречь. Написанное им полный бред. Однако нужно понимать, что фотоаппарат очень пробвинутый и если вы не любите что-то настраивать и хочется просто нажимать на кнопку и получать результат, то этот фотоаппарат не ваш. Как впрочем и любая зеркалки, беззеркалки и т.п.

- + Быстро включается (2 секунды).
Хорошо видит в темноте, но с шумами.
Яркая вспышка и долгая батарейка.
Яркий и чёткий экран, с любого угла всё видно.
Компактный и удобно лежит в руке, удобное управление.
Быстрый, но шумный, автофокус.
Есть достаточно настроек для цвета и для качества картинки (цветовой баланс на любой вкус, эффекты, и пр.).
Поддержка карт памяти до 64 гигов.
Можно фоткать 3D - получается неплохо но с временным искажением, поэтому подходит только для статического сюжета.
Интересные настройки цветности, контрастности, чёткости, с ними можно имитировать эффекты разных светофильтров. - - Шумы даже на солнце и при 100ISO!! Устраняются фильтром подавления шумов, но взамен получаем мыльную нечёткую картинку, в следствии чего из 16 мегапиксельной фотки остаётся еле еле 8.
Авто цветовой баланс - слишком унылый (делает цвета блёклыми).

- + Начну свой отзыв с того что ранее пользовался предшественником данной модели камерой Р300 и могу сказать что модель Р310 это реально исправленные ошибки Р300(чтобы там не говорили теоретики). И так обо всем по порядку, камера стала намного быстрее предшественника включается мгновенно и готова к съемке,очень радует поправленная фокусировка которая подтупливала в предшественнике Р300,в Р310 фокусируется мгновенно, макро съемка стала не реально лучше теперь можно снимать практически в упор. Так же приятна глазу натуральная естественная цветопередача,добавился объем и контраст цвета и самое главное достоинство несомненно это резкий светосильный объектив, лучший в классе компактов с матрицей 1/2.3".Еще об нововведениях, ура!!! регулируемая система шумопадавления в плоть до отключения,регулировка качество снимка(Fine, Basic) как на Никоновских беззеркалках. Ну а в остальном корпус и сборка выше всяких похвал,материал металл+пластик и невероятно отличный...

Давно хотел именно такой фотоаппарат и наконец купил. Снимает супер! Доволен как сто слонов. Обошелся мне в 8500р. Хотя теперь, вижу они подешевели. Видимо т.к. выходит Р330 - вот это боба будет!

Плохо
- + Есть несколько плюсов:
+ Довольно яркие цвета
+ Большой и чёткий дисплей
+ Наличие ручных настроек
+ Хорошая вспышка (по яркости)
+ Лёгкий
+ m-HDMI
+ Подключение через обычный "тюльпан" к старым телекам
+ Быстро передаются фотки на комп - - Куча минусов:
- Хреновая матрица (в помещении с любой освещённостью фотки либо размыты, либо очень шумные)
- Ужасная оптика (по бокам сжимает изображение по вертикале. очень заметно, если фоткать лица)
- Нет отдельной зарядки в комплекте (тока через ЮСБ)
- HD там и не пахнет. Снимать можно только на 720, дальше интерполяция; в помещении видео ужасно зернистое
- Съёмка с большим количеством кадров (60 к/с или 120 к/с) пишется без звука и такое же стрёмное, как и при 24 к/с (дёрганное). Смысла в этой опции нет.
- При фокусировке очень сильно шумит
- Неудобный замок открытия вспышки (непонятно, зачем вообще было её прятать, она такая же мелкая, как и в обычных мыльницах)
- Сделано...

Фото получаются шумными, сказывается малый размер матрицы и непомерно большое количество мегапикселей. Цифровое шумоподавление пытается с этим бороться, однако результат - недостаток деталей и резкости. Проблемы баланса белого: один и тот же сюжет на одних и тех же настройках: фото то пересвечены, то нормально. Разочарован.

It's in fact my first compact camera as otherwise I'm almost 30 years taking photos with SLR since my childhood. I bought it with waterproof case 1.5 year ago to be able to take it safely with for canoying. I didn't do any research before, just needed to buy quickly a good pocket camera for experienced user. Just after the Christmas 2013 I was a bit shocked comparing my older photos taken by canon d650 with a good lens last Christmas and the ones taken now by this small nikon. The ones from canon were almost all blurred in contrary to nice shots from nikon. Of course it was mostly my mistake because I don't like to use flash and just simply forgot that time how different can be to take photos by SLR and such small compact.. I've realised that much more often I'm enjoying and needing photos sharp everywhere than playing with shallow depth of field.. And that's where such small camera with good image stabilization and good fast lens can easily outperform SLR especially in poor light condition without flash. Here are some of my findings:
pros:
- small, light, well built, nice to my taste
- fast lens 1.8 at the wide end (24mm!), most frequently used and appreciated by me
- excellent image stabilization
- excellent, sharp printed photos at least up to A3 - I'm frequently producing my own photobooks and some of them taken purely by nikon are simply amazing
- excellent handling with all manual controls I need (the front FN button can be set e.g. for quick ISO change)
- excellent bright and detailed rear LCD
- good battery life
- excellent photos even in poor light condition without flash - just set the camera to P mode, keep ISO 100-200, keep time faster than 1/15 and even with aperature around 2.8 you will get razor sharp photos at least of the static subjects of course and if your hand is not shaking more than normally :)
cons:
- some noise can be visible even at ISO 100 in 1:1 view on computer but who cares? In fact I care but after browsing my photobooks with so nice printed pictures or viewing photos on screen after some minor fixes if needed I don't care too much any more :)
- pretty high noise for ISO 400 and (supposingly) higher ones, as I'm not using it, but just read above in pros how to have a nice photos.. (BTW do you remember a non-digital photos taken on a real film with ISO 800 or even higher :-)?)
- in some situation tendency for underexposed pictures - but it can be easily tuned by very quick manual control
- as for any photo camera lack of contrast and color saturation under very sunny bright conditions as I don't have UV filter but the photos can be tweaked without bigger problem on PC (in fact I'm using only picasa for all changes and shot only in JPG - suprisingly, at least for me, you wouldn't notice it in the photobooks with A3 photos so if you don't need more..)
- pretty severe purple fringing in areas of high contrast and contra light but can be fixed on PC if you know how or just be omitted as in printed photos you must know that you want to notice it ;)
I'm always tempted to search for some better pocket camera like sony rx100 or even some high-end fuji gems but problem is that this nikon produces so nice photos :) It's funny how people are picky nowadays but forgetting sometimes to take really the photos and enjoying them at the end.. I have to say that I'm pretty happy and still satisfied with that rather unintended purchase!

Edit 5/2013:
P330 is now released and now you can find P310 at less than half price ($160-180) of P330. This makes P310 king for price/performance compared to other cameras in the price range.
Also, I'll add, I've dropped this camera about 4 times now onto a hard surface so it's got some dings and battle scars... but it keeps on working fine! (this is when I'm glad I don't have a $650 Sony RX100) One of the tabs that keeps the battery door closed chipped off so while it closes, it's easier for the door to spring open. I don't recommend you drop your camera ;-)
Edit 10/2012:
While I love the camera, it really struggles to auto-focus if you zoom during video. Focusing is VERY slow. Reducing to 4-stars... Does anyone have a solution for this? I keep the camera in "P" mode 95% of the time (P works for me).
Here are my priorities when it comes to point & shoots:
1. Price
2. Great low-light ability
3. Pocketability
4. Decent 1080p video
5. Extensive controls (like buttons, dials)
6. Zoom
At the time of this review (9/2012), I've had the camera for about 2.5 months and have taken around 800 shots thus far. [Update 12/2012] I've taken probably nearly 3000 photos and this thing continues to perform well.
1. I got it for mid-200s. That's a great price and the reason why I didn't get the popular Canon S100 as much as I like Canon, which I've had for many models in the past. Also, the S100 was plagued with a faulty-lens mechanism which would render the camera useless with it stuck in error mode permanently. If spending $360-400 for S100, I didn't want to put up with the chance of receiving a bad unit. If I didn't care about price, I would've gotten Sony's new flagship P&S, RX100 but $650, are you kidding me??? [Update 11/2012]: Canon has since released the S110, which is selling for about $400 now.
2. Aside from price, the utmost importance for me for a camera is how well it does in low-light. Sensor technology has come a long way, and mated with optical image stabilization, we're now in the era where we can take natural-looking flash-less photos indoors or outdoors with ambient lighting. P310 can do that. It's really excellent. I can take hand-held photos in the dark that come out brigther than real life. For years and years, taking indoor photos meant automatic use of flash but that is not the case anymore. Now using flash is the exception. Don't expect large-sensor miracles but for its tiny sensor, it suffices for me. I'm really surprised by how well it does in low-light. Where I've seen great results is outdoors taking photos of streets lit by street lamps and light from store signs or lights leaking from store interiors.
The night flash mode works pretty well and this is when you take photos in low-light settings WITH people as subjects (meaning, your subject is Jane and she's what you're focusing on but you'd also like the background to come in nicely) - there are 2 modes for this actually. One is the familiar "night" mode (aka slow sync mode) and the icon has a person with a star next to it. The other is the flash icon at the very bottom with 3 small triangles next to the flash symbol - this is rear curtain sync - flash fires twice while the shutter is open - I haven't done a sit-down analysis between the regular slow sync and rear curtain synch but rear curtain sync seems to work very well in evening settings. With these modes, I usually tell people, "don't move until I move" b/c people will usually move right after the flash goes off and create blur due to the slow shutter.
3. P310 is also truly pocketable, as in, you can literally slip it into your jeans pocket. I had the highly rated Panasonic LX5. The problem is that I never took it anywhere b/c it wasn't pocketable. I'm a dude and I don't carry a purse. I need my P&S to slip into my pocket. As the cliche goes, the best camera is the camera you have on you, right?
4. Video. It's a P&S with a small sensor and built in mic. Don't expect cinema-grade miracles. It's good enough. There's optical zoom during video, though I noticed focus is extremely slow, so slow that you wouldn't want to zoom. The stereo mic holes are well placed between the flash and mode dial. I've had a Samsung camera before with horrible mic placement and I'd always end up covering it with my hand during video (result: muffled sound). P310 does not have this problem. Also, the audio attenuation in very loud settings is a bit too much, so much so that it's too muffled and hard to hear what's going on around you. If in normal-volume settings this is not a problem. The audio is also not muted or cut off in the very beginning of the video - this matters b/c in very loud settings (i.e. concerts, clubs) you first hear a "pop", then the camera realizes it's too loud and attenuates. But the pop is still there and while you can edit it out later, it's annoyin

At the time of this review (9/2012), I've had the camera for about 2.5 months and have taken around 800 shots thus far. [Update 12/2012] I've taken probably nearly 3000 photos and this thing continues to perform well.
1. I got it for mid-200s. That's a great price and the reason why I didn't get the popular Canon S100 as much as I like Canon, which I've had for many models in the past. Also, the S100 was plagued with a faulty-lens mechanism which would render the camera useless with it stuck in error mode permanently. If spending $360-400 for S100, I didn't want to put up with the chance of receiving a bad unit. If I didn't care about price, I would've gotten Sony's new flagship P&S, RX100 but $650, are you kidding me??? [Update 11/2012]: Canon has since released the S110, which is selling for about $400 now.
2. Aside from price, the utmost importance for me for a camera is how well it does in low-light. Sensor technology has come a long way, and mated with optical image stabilization, we're now in the era where we can take natural-looking flash-less photos indoors or outdoors with ambient lighting. P310 can do that. It's really excellent. I can take hand-held photos in the dark that come out brigther than real life. For years and years, taking indoor photos meant automatic use of flash but that is not the case anymore. Now using flash is the exception. Don't expect large-sensor miracles but for its tiny sensor, it suffices for me. I'm really surprised by how well it does in low-light. Where I've seen great results is outdoors taking photos of streets lit by street lamps and light from store signs or lights leaking from store interiors.
The night flash mode works pretty well and this is when you take photos in low-light settings WITH people as subjects (meaning, your subject is Jane and she's what you're focusing on but you'd also like the background to come in nicely) - there are 2 modes for this actually. One is the familiar "night" mode (aka slow sync mode) and the icon has a person with a star next to it. The other is the flash icon at the very bottom with 3 small triangles next to the flash symbol - this is rear curtain sync - flash fires twice while the shutter is open - I haven't done a sit-down analysis between the regular slow sync and rear curtain synch but rear curtain sync seems to work very well in evening settings. With these modes, I usually tell people, "don't move until I move" b/c people will usually move right after the flash goes off and create blur due to the slow shutter.
3. P310 is also truly pocketable, as in, you can literally slip it into your jeans pocket. I had the highly rated Panasonic LX5. The problem is that I never took it anywhere b/c it wasn't pocketable. I'm a dude and I don't carry a purse. I need my P&S to slip into my pocket. As the cliche goes, the best camera is the camera you have on you, right?
4. Video. It's a P&S with a small sensor and built in mic. Don't expect cinema-grade miracles. It's good enough. There's optical zoom during video, though I noticed focus is extremely slow, so slow that you wouldn't want to zoom. The stereo mic holes are well placed between the flash and mode dial. I've had a Samsung camera before with horrible mic placement and I'd always end up covering it with my hand during video (result: muffled sound). P310 does not have this problem. Also, the audio attenuation in very loud settings is a bit too much, so much so that it's too muffled and hard to hear what's going on around you. If in normal-volume settings this is not a problem. The audio is also not muted or cut off in the very beginning of the video - this matters b/c in very loud settings (i.e. concerts, clubs) you first hear a "pop", then the camera realizes it's too loud and attenuates. But the pop is still there and while you can edit it out later, it's annoyin

I'm a professional photographer[...] and I started getting tired of bringing my DSRL on vacations and out and about so I really wanted an Advanced point & shoot to take over the role of my DSLR on occasions where I just wanted to slip something in my pocket. I originally bought the Fujifilm F505 EXR because it was cheap on Amazon, $149. It had full Manual controls, Aperture and Shutter priority, everything you would expect. The only problem was the pictures were terrible. Smudging of fine detail, no sharpness, focal points were inconsistent, useless ISO, the pictures were just unusable and un-savable even in Aperture 3 or Photoshop.
So, fast forward, I sold it and looked for a replacement. After about a month of research I ended up having to choose between the Canon S100 and the Nikon Coolpix P310. I went back and forth and read reviews on how the S100 set the benchmark for all advanced point and shoot cameras and how great it was. It is about $140 more than the P310, which I was willing to spend IF, IF the pictures were far superior to the P310.
So I went to a camera store and tried out both of them. As far as how each of them are to use, well I shoot Nikon and after using the Canon and the Nikon I know why I shoot with Nikon. The P310 is simply the most thought out Point and Shoot I've ever used. Nothing is buried in menu's, everything is one touch or a dial. The LCD was much nicer, and sharper. The P310 has a "User Mode" found on Nikon's DSLR's where you can preset your own settings and quickly switch to it. One touch video recording button. It powers on instantly, the auto focus was much faster and more accurate than the S100. Over all it just felt better and I was able to change settings much faster than the Canon. Just like Nikon's DSLR's you can adjust sharpness and other things in it's familiar menu system.
So, on to the quality of the pictures. I went on Flickr and spent hours going back and forth between people's photo's who shot with the S100 and the P310. I found over all that the S100 photo's were about 10% better than the P310. But again, these were people that may or may not have known how to fully use their camera ect...
So, I ordered the P310 because I thought for the price and it's functionality it was the best deal and the quality of photo's it produced from what I saw online was better than I expected and read from reviews and was far superior to my old Fujifilm I got rid of.
Just got the camera an hour ago and tried it out. Did some indoor shots to try out the f/1.8 and higher ISOs, did some outdoor shots to see how well it exposed photo's and handled chromatic aberrations and how well it contained detail and sharpness, and I tried out some macro shots. My first impressions. Wow. Remember I'm a photographer so I'm used to working with photo's from a DSRL all day and I see all my photo's on a 27'' iMac so photo's are blown up huge and detail, sharpness, smudging noise are all much more present than most people with 17 and 19 inch monitors.
First off, sharpness. on a scale of 1-10 most of these are a 10, some darker ons are a 9 which can be bumped to a 10 in Aperture or Lightroom.
Exposure, I havent really seen anything yet that was way over or way under exposed. Clouds looked great and even a few things that looked over exposed were savable in Aperture.
Noise. Virtually no noticeable noise up to ISO 400, minimal noise at ISO 800, that was as high as I went as the camera lets in a ton of light as it is.
Detail smudging, the image processing contained detail extremely well especially in grass, leaves on tress, textures.
I wish I had bought this camera first. The photo's are brilliant for a point and shoot and quality wise are on par with my first DSLR ever the D3000. These photo's are far superior to what a regular point and shoot camera will produce. The low light lens will basically let you shoot in any kind of light and you will probably never have to use the flash. The Macro mode blew me away. You can literally get with in a few millimeters of a bug or flower and get an amazingly sharp photo with a great blurred background which is impressive seeing as the image sensor in the camera is so small.
Bottom line, if you're on the fence about getting this camera and it's at your price point, you won't find a sexier, easier to use camera that produces this kind of quality photos. If you've ever shot with a Nikon you'll feel right at home with the menus and new function button.
I can finally leave me DSLR at home now!
Update: this camera is blowing me away with the picture quality. Don't waste your money on the S100. This camera will be relevant for years and years to come.

First of all, this is not a full review (people already did great jobs in reviewing the older model P300) this is more like a comparison between p300 and p310 because I had a hard time until I've settled on this camera. The choices for me were (P310, Canon s100, Olympus XZ-1, and of course the older model P300)
I don't own and never used the Nikon p300, so I can't tell if the p310 worth the extra 70$ but am going to mention the added features to the p310 and you decide for yourself :
- 16.1 megapixels instead of 12.2. Some might say it will produce more noise, but in my case I didn't face any issues with the 16 megapixels, no noticeable noise at all. And with some added features such as noise control of 3 different levels (which is also not available in the P300), then I don't think you should be concerned at all trust me.
- fn button (This is customizable, allowing you to assign a frequently used camera setting to it rather than having to dig through the camera menus.) I use it to give me access to ISO settings.
- Vibration Reduction V2 (which is an enhanced version of the one available on p300) so far I didn't get any blurry pictures even when am driving a car.
- one more mode has been added to the dial on top (which is `U' mode, you can for example go to manual settings and adjust the shooting mode, aperture, shutter speed, etc and save them to the user mode for next use) It allows you to save only one preset, but you can always reset of course.
- Manual focus (yes the p310 has manual focus, p300 doesn't) You can also use the manual focus during video recording.
- ISO range (instead of 160 to 3200 in the p300, now it's 100 to 6400)
- 3D mode (this feature has been added to the "scenes mode" it allow you take 2 pictures from two different angels and then the camera will produce a 3D photo that is viewable on 3D TVs.
That's all I guess
The camera is really nice and takes sharp and crisp pictures, as you know most of the cameras take good photos in day light. However, the real challenge is when shooting in low light and when it comes to low light this camera is SICK!! I took some pictures in extremely dark places and the camera never let me down. I took some photos at night with ISO 1000+ and still no noticeable noise!
A small hint: never use `auto mode' when shooting at night, use either "landscape mode" if you want to shoot buildings, etc or "night portrait" scene if you want to shoot people at night with background (requires flash) or Aperture priority and of course there's always a manual mode.
To my experience so far, the best mode for night shots is "Night Landscape". When you choose it you'll be provided with two options:
1- Handheld: In this scenario the camera will take 5 consecutive shots very quickly in just 1 second, actually you will hear the sound of the lens taking five shots. The output is nice but a little darker with no noticeable noise.
2- Tripod: This is the second option and when you choose it the camera will first set the vibration reduction to off, and then it will increase the shutter speed to around 2 or 3 seconds I guess, depending on the situation. The output is tremendous. So when using a tripod with this mode YOU WILL NEVER miss a shot at night believe me.
Cons: I gave this camera 5 star because the Cons are not a deal breaker for me. So here we go:
1- At first, it might be hard for you to hold the camera, turn it on, etc because the buttons are so close to each other. However, one day is enough for you to adapt.
2- Zooming while recording video is EXTREMELY slow. I usually don't zoom while recording so it's not a big deal for me but it might be for others.
3- Still no RAW like its predecessor.(probably all of you already know that)
4- Charging cable like others mentioned is not a standard USB cable.
Hint: you can go to ebay and buy a wall charger with two extra batteries for 14 bucks.
Generally, for under 400$ this camera is a winner in its class, if you're willing to spend over 400$ you can look for the Canon S100 or Olympus XZ-1. (I've checked them both) The Olympus has some focusing issues + video quality is terrible, the S100 has a common lens error + the flash will pop up automatically and it's located exactly where you put your left finger, so I ended up buying the P310)
In conclusion, I've dealt with many P&S cameras and all I can say is that this Camera is meant for..well, like the title says "Photography in the Dark"

I was all set on purchasing the P7700, almost literally at the 'Place Order' button stage. The 7700 itself would be $430 and another $200 for accessories. At the last moment, I wanted to make sure I hadn't overlooked other models and for some reason I came across the P310. A few years ago, I had wanted to get the P300 but stayed with the Canon line, so I knew the P310 was worth looking at.
The first thing I did was add it to my cart to see what the price was (one of those 'we can't show the price' deals). I was expecting to see about $330, about $100 less than the 7700. I was absolutely amazed to see the price of $209. What?!? This was a direct from Amazon, New, sealed-box camera. For $209. Wow.
The short story is that after checking the features, reading both professional and consumer reviews, I jumped on that deal, got the camera, and I'm happy with the purchase, for reasons I'll explain below. But if you want the bottom line now, it's this: I defy you to find anything with this quality and these features for a paltry $209. It is an absolute steal. You're getting a Porsche for the price of a Hyundai. Seriously. Yes, I lost a few features that the 7700 offered but look at it this way: I could buy TWO P310's - and a bottle of wine - for the price of the 7700. Amazing.
Now, the fine print. There are some valid criticisms of the model, some invalid ones as well, but overall this is an excellent camera:
Superfast f/1.8 lens which opens to 24mm and has superb low-light capabilities as others have noted. Full 1080p HD video with stereo sound and the ability to zoom while filming (albeit at a slow rate - but this is actually closer to proper cinematic technique than an amateurish fast zoom). 16.1 MP, manual focus, high-res 3-inch LCD (very nice), customizable saved settings via the 'FN' button and 'U' mode, and many other great features.
For my personal needs (I'll use this in my antiques and antiquarian books business), the best feature is the excellent macro capability (2cm/.8in) which, combined with the fast 1.8 speed at 24mm, is a godsend: the test photos are incredible, with an antique stamp filling my 27" monitor with a sharpness that is just amazing.
As far as negatives go, they're mostly minor:
1. On one hand, it's a sturdy, well-made camera, as you would expect from Nikon; on the other hand, you have these seemingly-flimsy plastic ports leading to the battery/SD card and to the HDMI connector. As long as they hold up, it's not that important.
2. It is a valid criticism which others have made about the battery-charging design: simply ridiculous. However, it costs less than $10 to get a simple external charger which - yes - should have been included by Nikon.
3. No RAW (but a screemingly hi-res 16.1 MP).
The negatives are minor. The quality of the camera - especially the fast, sharp lens - combined with its many high-end features and its ease of use, make for an exceptional point-and-shoot, easily the best one in its price range (its usual price of $300-$325). And if the price is anywhere near the $209 that I paid for it on Amazon, it's the best deal on a camera you may ever see: jump on it before they're gone. (This is why I never got the P300: I waited, expecting a price reduction, then they sold out and 3rd-party sellers had sky-high prices on it ever after. Even now a new P300 is $379 minimum.)
