I wanted a pocket camera with manual control, and I wanted it cheap. After researching and looking around the interwebs, I found and bought this factory-refurbished camera for $150 in July 2013. Its successor model, the P330 was already out and going for about twice as much. Just recently the P340 came out at near $400.
This camera does 85% of what I want a camera for. For the remaining 15% a have a DSLR.
I accessorize it with a $9 mini tripod, a $30 magfilter circular polarizer, and a $35 8GB eye fi sd card -the easiest way to instantly share your pictures without buying a WiFi adapter or a new camera with built in WiFi. I have this gear with me nearly always which has allowed me to shoot some awesome street and nature pictures.
I am no professional, just an avid amateur with good eye for composition. I have this camera set to 8Mb file size (half of the capacity), and normal picture quality. I usually print 5x7, but I also print 8x10 and they still look really good. I haven't printed anything larger from this camera, but in the near future I want to test how big you can print without loss of quality. 99% of people do not need more than 8Mb. How often does anyone shooting with a point and shoot, or for that matter, a crop sensor dslr print any larger than 8x10? I don't see myself printing any larger size photos almost ever. If printing posters is what you want, you need a bigger sensor, not more megapixels; example: the sensor in the Nikon D4 has "only" 16 megapixels- same as this camera, but it's many times (34 times, to be exact) bigger. Having said that, this camera's sensor, at 3% the size of the D4's is enough for 99% of the people.
Pros: large aperture, good in low light, user settings memory, decent video, very customizable, good pre sets, nice build quality.
Cons: shortish zoom, smallish sensor (1/2.3", or about 25mm

I own the P300 and have taken many shots with my friend's new P310. Both are fine cameras. The P300 is not perfect (what camera is?) but, for the money (mine was purchased recently for $245) it is the better P&S for me --- much cheaper than the the S95 or flawed S100. I owned the S95 and actually preferr the P300. It gives me more good shots - I typically use it in low light, often without flash in Auto mode. Pics are good IQ (or better) and there is usually no blur at all. Hard to beat for the money.
The P310 is almost as good but has too many megapixels (i.e., more megapixels and the same size sensor - a typically small P&S 1/2.3 = more noise + the need to use a lower ISO) --- 16 megapixels vs 12 megapixels. Low light photos --- in Auto or otherwise are not as good as the cheaper P300. And I can't see any reason why they should be.
Neither is great for video (a good, cheaper video/audio camera is the 12 megapixel Elph 300, preferably in pebbled black; it takes decent pictures). Both P's feature in-camera charging. This is a very cheap move on Nikon's part and not the case on some more expensive Nikons or most Canons. Not a deal killer but it forces us to spend a bit more. (Even the diminutive Canon Elph 300 --- a nice camera at $149 or $179 --- comes with a charger.)
I own a Canon G12 which is an excellent camera (it takes the best pictures under most circumstances and is only 10 megapixels). It has it all except for a fast lens and small size. That's why I purchased the P300 and it has met my low light/travel light needs. The P310 does not do it quite as well due to incremental image noise. It is in my opinion a Nikon marketing move ("Updated camera but not better, just more megapixels") as Nikon (my favorite camera company) refuses to make the very best P&S cameras it can for the money; they want to sell their DSLRs and mid-to-high priced lens'. Indeed, relatively cheap cameras like the Nikon DSLR D3100 with kit lens for about $549 rock (OK, the D5100 is even better but the D3100 should make you happy :-). (Of course, DSLRs are big.) Regardless, as stated, I believe Nikon sometimes keeps its P&S from being too good, unlike Canon or even Fuji (Fuji often messes up on its own with P&S --- unless you like round white orbs in your pics from a $599 P&S camera! --- the X10). A camera that improved is the Panasonic LX5 that has all the "goodies" they could fit into it and is an improvement to the LX3. Come on, wake up Nikon!!! The P310 should be meaningfully better than the P300 and it is not.
Of course, the P310 (and P300) have some excellent specs: 1.8 lens at low end (however, going to 4.9 when fully zoomed to 4.2x), excellent LCD screen with 921,000 pixels, quick operation, getting the most out of the small 1/2.3 sensor, well designed flash (mechanical, easy to use and will not easily break), and good build quality (not quite G12 build quality, but good --- except for the battery door which is a bit weak). They just work --- both the P300 and P310.
P310 improvements which could have been made: a bigger sensor (i.e., a truly premium P&S sensor that is, say 1/1.7 rather than 1/2.3), a lens that starts at 1.8 and ends at, say, 3.3 (rather than 4.9), or meaningfully better video/audio. There are minor P310 "improvements" such as a "better" stability system (not needed or noticed), 16 megapixels up from 12 megapixels (a step backward --- who needs large posters with noise?), and another dial. (Oh, I don't need the capability to go to ISO 3200 or 6400 on a P&S --- I never do and the noise with 16 megapixels would be high.) Luckily, the P300 already had good IQ and the P310's is almost as good. Excellent still picture cameras both! :-)
If you want a very good P&S search for a G12 under $400 or a smaller, faster P300/P310 under $300. Either should meet your needs and are some of the the best (for the money) P&Ss offered by Canon and Nikon. Both the P300 and P310 are worthy cams.
Good luck whatever you get!

Bought at Amazon, delivered by Central Deals. Lens cover did not close tightly so you could see the lens when camera turned off. Also no warranty card, no owner's manual, not even a Quickstart guide. Returned for credit. Will try B&H Camera.

I had Canon S45 and SD1000 few years ago and its low light pictures were horrible (other than than, a good camera). After Canon I tried a newest Olympus, a cheap VG 110, and it was huge letdown. I also had Casio Exilim, Sony W55 for family members. But I was always wishing for more low light capability as these cameras' evening and indoor pictures in low light were not good as I wished.
So I studied Panasonic LX5, Canon S95 and S100 and after a lot of reading and comparing the cameras in store, I selected Nikon P310 because of its low-light settings - a combination of a 16.1-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, wide ISO range up to 3200 (Hi1 6400 equivalent) and a fast, wide-angle maximum aperture f/1.8 lens plus an advanced optical VR image stabilization. It has several scene modes including Advanced Night Portrait mode, Night Landscape mode and Backlight/High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode. Mechanical precision advanced VR is very important for me because I shoot without tripod.
The camera has manual exposure control (P/S/A/M) same as my DSLR, Nikon D60, and a new Zoom Memory function that enables the selection of popular prime focal lengths during shooting. P310 also includes huge number of effects and filter effects that can be added to photos in-camera for a quick artistic touch. It also has unique, very bright 3-inch high resolution (921,000-dot) LCD screen.
As for video, there is the ability to capture Full HD (1080p) video at 30 frames-per-second (fps) with AF, stereo sound and the use of the optical zoom while recording and in-camera editing, but I don't intend to use it for video, maybe only occasional one.
When I bought p310, I first tried in almost absolutely dark room and picture was clearer than I could see myself! Thats when I thought I made a right choice. I am continuing to experiment with p310 and now I am going to use exclusively its user mode. Have no complaints about other modes as well, auto has been very good too.
While its sensor is smaller, it utilizes backlight and doesn't require as much light as conventional ones. DxOMark.com have published test results that 1/2.3" BSI-CMOS sensor such as in Nikon P310 beats the larger 10mp, 1/1.7" CCD sensors in Olympus ZX-1 and it matches the S95/G12 sensor. Whatever the story is, the combination of backlit CMOS and fast 1.8 lens seems to to produce excellent low light pictures to me. It is so good in low light that I never had to use flash indoors and in the evening: I just forgot that flash exists and pictures are excellent.
The camera has Fn button (as different from p300) and I customized it for Continuous shooting mode, but it can be assigned WB, ISO and functions too. In terms of cost, the camera is significantly cheaper than S95/100 or LX5.
It has 99 focus points, Contrast Detect (sensor), Multi-area, Center, Tracking, Face Detection (face priority) modes. It has also a better macro, can shoot as close as 2 cm or 0.7 inch. The camera has HDMI and USB ports and charges through USB cable. When I download pictures, I just leave the camera plugged in PC and it charges automatically, so its always on full battery.
The camera has very fast AF, excellent low light capacity, mechanical precision VR image stabilization, bright and fast f1.8 lens, custom designed Expeed C2 latest processor from Nikon and its image quality is great. its very small, truly pocketable and light. I couldn't be happier with the camera

I bought this last year before electric daisy carnival in hopes ofr shoooting some 1080P videos of dj sets that would otherwise look great on my phone but sound absolutely horrible. It also needed to be compact so that I wasn't carrying around a brick. THIS FIT THE BILL COMPLETELY. It records in stereo and even with the bass at ear shattering levels, whatever software inside the camera lowers the gain at which it is recording to compensate. All my videos look really good as far as concerts go. I haven't had a lot of experience with a gopro but considering you can't watch the videos while you're recording or even after without a computer, I'd give this a an upperhand in that regard. It also doubles as my point and shoot now since I only had an SLR in combination with my cell phone. It does have a downside though in that it's UI and software is nowhere near as polished as a canon camera. It can't even do an auto rotate based on the position you take pictures.

As great as this camera is, they don't bounce. This is the perfect size camera for my wife, who loves the fact that it is easily concealed and takes excellent low light photos. While this is not the latest iteration of this model, it actually has a higher pixel rating that what "replaces" it and the CMOS used in this model allows for the exceptional low light photos. I prefer a camera with a viewfinder, but my wife finds formatting the shot with the LCD screen to be very easy. I highly recommend this camera while they are still available.

Primarily I use a digital camera for pet photography (I've won several contests with the photos I take), landscapes, flowers, and video. Although this camera has its GOOD points, it was LOUSY on the Pet Scene. Certain features are disabled on Pet Scene that bother dog and cats (which sometimes is a good idea) such as the focus assist light and beeps/shutter sounds, but the default setting was continuous, not single, and I couldn't choose flash if I wanted. It wouldn't take an image unless it recognized a cat/dog face from a front view. Images were grainy and too dark even in a room with daylight streaming in. Very disappointing on the Pet Scene Setting, but otherwise such as landscapes, flowers, that was decent. Yes, I know I can use manual controls to try for a better pet shot, but cats and dogs will run off before you have all the settings just right.
Good points of the P310:
> Quality build - except for the battery door seems a little flimsy, but it seems they all are.
> Quick start-up if you don't use the Coolpix logo welcome screen.
> Love the manual control knob on top - and between that one and the back knob, you can control f-stop and shutter easily.
> Good weight to it, buttons and knobs work well with chubby fingers.
> Good macro - since I love photographing flowers, this passed my test.
> I liked the NX software that came with this camera, intuitive, feature rich.
Bad points of the P310:
> Battery charging is done inside the camera, and I hate those rubbery covers that usually end up breaking off - of course, this can be remedied by buying a separate charger. And it seems 80% of the cameras I've purchased recently are going to this battery charging method to save money, of course.
> Video quality was not up to par with my other (cheaper) cameras; however, zoom motor was fairly quiet.
Bottom Line: If you want a camera for photographing things other than pets, this camera is a good choice. It may have too many features to learn if you're new to digital cameras and want a basic point and shoot, unless you keep it on AUTO.
No camera is perfect, I like others better mainly because Sony happens to know the correct way to program the processor for the Pet Scene.

I've had this camera this camera about 4 months and have a good handle on its positives and negatives. Overall, I strongly recommend it - it's a good, solid, versatile point and shoot that allows you to take usable shots in relatively dark conditions. The menus are well laid out, the camera is responsive, and the lens is versatile and zooms quickly. Autofocus is also reasonable.
The main downside I've found, and the main reason I'm giving it only 4 stars, is because the battery life is ridiculously bad. I can't get through a single event with a fully charged battery - I get less than 100 shots when shooting only 20% of my shots with flash. Moreover, the battery life indicator is terrible. Really, really bad. I've been in situations where I power it on, see a full charge, and throw the camera in its case and take it with me, only to have it give me the "Battery Exhausted" warning 15 or 20 shots later. It then shuts down totally.
It's a good camera but the battery life makes the product literally unusable for more than 20 or 30 pictures at a time unless you get an additional battery. Moreover, the fact that the camera's battery life is so poor makes the fact that the batteries can only be charged in-camera using the supplied USB cable that much worse. I'll be getting the Wasabi Power pack that Amazon sells for $20 with two additional batteries and a wall/car charger as soon as I head back to the US in order to unlock the potential of this camera.
With additional battery packs and a wall-charger, this camera would be worth all 5 stars.

This camera is annoyingly great. I've mainly used Canon dslr cameas, but this thing continues to surprize. great performance(8 to 9 meg equivalent compared to dslr),small,light,responsive, great in low light. best $198 I ever spent on camera equipment. It's now Aug 26 2014 and too late to buy this. The newer P330 I dont know,larger sensor which could be better. Wait for it to drop to $200 on Amazon.

i am going to start my review with a small rant hoping someone at nikon will hear me and the many voice's who have this wonderful camera.Why nikon do u put a aspen size sensor in this camera? 1/2.3 is the size of it ok what i really dont understand why does nikon put the same processer and sensor in the P510&P310 as every outher coolpix this is the P series the top of the line in coolpix series you are charging us premium price for these cameras but not putting in premium stuff why nikon why? these 2 camera's P510 & P310 should have eveything what the P7700 got inside of it the big sensor 1/1.8 size the top of the line processer all the good stuff u know. as for me in the P310 i dont wont or need built in wi-fi or gps save that space for raw.lower the iso to 80 put the f/stop to f/1.8 to f/2.8 since its just a 4.2xzoom keep the controls and everything eles the same i think this would be a wonderful camera be tied for 1 first or #1 in its market divison. ok now lets talk about the camera set the iso to 100. when u got sunlight and it does wonderful at eveing time switch to the auto setting 100 to 400 or 100 to 800 so it wont go know higher then this now it depends on how dark it is also u need a tripod to when shooting at night due to slow shutter speeds if u do this it will perform amazing well but go over 800 the small sensor inside starts to show its weekness thats why it needs the bigger sensor in it.I love this camera it makes a wonderful street photography camera it is small easy to hide and cut all the sounds off it makes the camera real quite to use.beside the tripod u need to get a class 10 memory card with high writting speed of 400x or better to make this camera perform at its best. and another battery yes the battery does last some time but if u r like me that takes alot of pictures at differnt apartures and shutter speeds the battery will go away quicky. you wont regret getting this camera as long u know the limits and stay in them get those 3 things u will be like me and carry this camera everywhere u go.Now if u like to see more pictures made by this camera go to flicker in the search bar put in nikon p310 hit the p310 members group and see the amazing pictures or u can go to p-base photo and select search by camera click on nikon click on p310 and look at those to thats what made me get this camera now scroll up and click the buy button******** i sold this camera to help buy a dslr camera it was a great camera to have i enjoy my time with it if u looking to buy it i will repeat what i said above it is a great camera to own

A great travel camera. Wide angle picks up street scenes and there's enough zoom for decent closeups. The electric zoom gets up to 200mm without noticeable distortion. I carried it around 5 European countries and was not wanting for more. Most shots were in urban areas where it really shines at impromptu unobtrusive shots. Fast shutter, great low light capability, never had to use a flash in old churches or museums, and compact for a pocket. Plus if desired you can work the shutter/aperture and much more.I bought the Wasabe kit with charger and 2 batteries which provided more than enough backup.

A great compact camera with full manual controls and an excellent night mode. It has the equivalent of a 28mm wide angle zoom lens. Great for night scenes and for situations where it is inconvenient to carry a SLR and camera bag.

I bought my P310 at Amazon because I knew I could exchange it if I was disappointed. I'm not disappointed; I'm overjoyed. I'm used to shooting with my old Nikon F2 and a bag of accessories like lenses and special filters to just coax a good picture from the camera. As I got better, the better the results. That was 20 years ago.
Today, with 64 Gb on a micro SDXC memory chip, a limitation has been removed and I just take hundreds of pictures at an outing. I take three batteries and have become good at replacing a tired battery. I get about 120 shots from a battery before it becomes too weak.
And, yes I'm glad to use the auto setting and the landscape setting. Why get my fingers dirty when the camera's settings allow me to hand that job over to it, and just frame and shoot the picture knowing that it will look wonderful.
Because the video is 1080P, they (the videos)look like a professional cameraman shot it. I guess I could have spent more money for bragging rights on a name, but I'm glad I didn't.
One thing though: I wonder what size in mm the lens screw-in aperture is. The filters I bought has a shroud that covers the entire lens body of the camera. The lower numbers on the zoom place the image inside a black circle. That won't do. I'd like an option that screws directly into the existing lense. UV, Polarizer, and Flourescent light filters need to be in everyone's bag of tricks. I'll keep checking with Nikon and give a shout out when I find some.

I have a Nikon D3000 which I love but wanted a camera that was compact but full featured. This camera has almost every feature my SLR has and since it's a Nikon these are easy to access. It has a lot of flexibility and takes great photos. I'm very impressed with low light capabilities and image stabilization is very effective. The shutter burst setting are great although silent so easy to forget it's on. The video is even more impressive, again shines in low light situations. I brought this camera on a rode trip recently and am very pleased with the outcome. This is a great compact camera for photography enthusiasts that want something they can carry in their pockets.

Updated: February 2013
so far:
form factor is very good
controls are good
renders manmade features ok
seems chronically incapable of treating the edges of large masses of foilage correctly - a big deal for me, and a very big disappointment (as is my Nikon S6100, for the same reason)<<FEb 2013: I am going to revisit this subject>>
tends to wash out highlights and block up shadows
video was disappointing, did not refocus so much of it was blurry
used it in Europe for three weeks - great travel camera - low light and wide angle were lifesavers
I also had my other Nikon P&S with me for backup camera and backup battery (same battery and cable :-).
top right corner of screen blacked out on a subsequent cold weather camping trip - but this seemed to have healed itself
I need to practice with this camera to rigorously check the results of various modes - in order to do the camera justice
I have another outdoorsy trip coming up - lots of good canyon and red rock scenery - so I started thinking about a DSLR and two zooms - but nope - I'll stick to this P310 - its makes taking photos fun and easy
Still glad I chose this camera - its fits in pockets !!

Updated 7/26/12:
went for a long walk today and took photos in AutoScene, Scene (Landscape), Program, Auto and Aperture Preferred modes. Then reviewed them in Picasa 3. The lens seems to get worse at small apertures such as F8.0. This may explain why the program chooses wide open and high shutter speeds every time for daytime shots. Landscape scene seems to use excessive contrast in many situations.
at 16M mode It smudges details too much, which is a pity, if we could set jpeg compression at unity it might be a lot better.
The AutoScene mode tends to give a soft result.
Update 7/30/12
Did another set of photos using old Canon A710IS and new Nikon P310, sometimes one camera is better, sometimes the other. Frustrating.
Updated 8/1/2012
I shot sets of three phots in 16M, 8M and 5M; 8M is consistently good as far as being less grainy. So I wont be using the 16M mode. The so-called finer detail in 16M mode is in fact generally a poorer image. As best I could tell you have to go back to AUTO mode in order to change the image size. I actually took my photos in "A" mode at F5 (approx).
The rear scsreen is really nice, but out in bright sun its still hard to see if you want to adjust camera settings. So practicce ahead of time and get to know your camera.

Works really well & takes great pics. Nice & compact, great for traveling. Battery seems to last a long time which is nice and I like the fact that it recharges in the camera, no removal/replacement required. No complaints thus far!

Great camera at a great price. Fast shipping, no problems. Bought this for a birthday gift for my daughter, she love it. Easy to use
but this high rated camera is getting hard to find.

So I would like to start with the camera build quality, amazing just amazing. It performs nicely under low light as I was given this to use for camming it makes skin tones smooth and shows high detail with a great deal on focus.
Pros are, small size so for selfies is nice as I hate to juggle with awkward heavy cameras when I'm undressing. The menus are simplified and just nice and quick to go through. Nicely built feels like metal almost very good and it's a Nikon and I'm a huge fan lol.
Cons are the battery life indicator. It tells you, the battery is full and suddenly drops to zero but you can gauge how long you've used it for. Besides it shoots HD video at 1080p which is quite nice. No other complaints would love to buy this camera again no issues.

I bought this camera for the HD video. The image quality isn't anything outstanding, but the images are still very crisp and the colors are deep and vibrant if you use the right settings. The camera is pretty idiot proof. If you have used a camera before then you can probably figure this one out pretty quick.
The body of the camera seemed a little cheap to me at first but after a lot of use and some abuse, the outer shell is very durable. Function over fashion for sure.
I expect to have this camera for many years to come.

January 2013 was my second Coolpix P310 purchase. The first, a year earlier, was for me. The second was for my wife. The first convinced me to buy the second. I'm a serious amateur photographer. My main camera is a Nikon D200 digital SLR. It's great, but it's big and heavy and I didn't want to carry it around Europe for three weeks last spring. After much research, I got the P310 for Europe. It lived up to expectations, and surpassed a few. I expected sharp, well-exposed images and I got them. The vibration control is very effective. I especially liked the manual exposure control that lets you adjust the exposure up or down from what the camera determines on its own. You can see the effect on the display before you take the photo. I found this especially useful inside cathedrals with bright stained-glass windows and dimly-lit walls. The camera averaged the exposure, but I lowered it about 2 stops so the walls were dim and the windows were colored instead of white. Great images! The CMOS sensor is terrific in low light, like inside dimly-lit rooms or downtown at night. The sensor is better in this respect than my D200. The battery life exceeded my expectations also. Is there anything I don't like about this camera? The mechanical zoom range is rather limited, especially on the telephoto end but also on the wide angle end. The display is hard to see outside in full sun. The camera allows for increasing its brightness but I chose not to for the sake of battery life. And I wish the P310 made camera raw files like the D200. But those are small dislikes. Overall, I like the P310 a lot.

Best instant camera I've ever owned and it really does fit in a pocket. I highly recommend the P310 for anyone.
