Nikon Digital Cameras, Compact

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj

The world's first camera with an integrated projector, the 12.1-megapixel Coolpix S1000pj's most interesting feature will either have you chortling with delight or feeling totally unimpressed. But it's not all about the projector -- the S1000pj is a pretty good compact in its own right

Nikon Coolpix P6000

Nikon's 13.5-megapixel P6000 looks so good on paper you might wonder whether you need a digital SLR at all. Its sensor matches the pixel count of any low-medium range dSLR, its 4x zoom is more than the average kit lens, it shoots raw files, has a full set of exposure modes and there's vibration reduction too

Nikon Coolpix S610

It's hard to stand out from the crowd, especially since it's become easier to pack gadgets full of features these days. The compact Nikon Coolpix S610 is no exception with a 10-megapixel sensor, image stabilisation, a 4x wideangle zoom, face, smile and blink detection and a nifty automatic scene mode selection

Nikon Coolpix S52c

We've often wondered why cameras don't come equipped with wireless transfer as standard, especially as Bluetooth and, increasingly, Wi-Fi are ubiquitous in mobile phones. The Nikon Coolpix S52c bucks this trend -- it's a 9-megapixel snapper that allows for wireless email, upload and back-up of images

The Nikon Coolpix P5100 is a highly specced 12.1-megapixel camera, with impressive image quality. It packs SLR-style features into a compact frame and gives you great control over shooting. Image stabilisation is built into the lens and you also have the option of distortion control

Nikon Coolpix P5000

With the 10-megapixel Coolpix P5000, Nikon has managed to include a plethora of amateur-friendly exposure controls in a compact that's easily small enough to fit into your pocket

Editor's rating 6.9

Nikon Coolpix P3

'Wi-Fi' is the word for the 8-megapixel Nikon Coolpix P3 -- this compact point-and-shoot incorporates an internal transmitter for uploading pictures to a nearby computer or printer. But it's the P3's excellent image quality that impresses us most. With optical vibration reduction, the P3 is a great casual shooter

Nikon Coolpix L1

A 6-megapixel, bare-bones, pocket-size camera that delivers very good photos for snapshooters who don't mind the slightly high price. A compact and attractive camera, it's fairly lightweight and features a zoom rocker and a four-way directional pad that doubles as a control for flash, timer, macro focus and exposure compensation

Editor's rating 6.6

Nikon Coolpix P1

The P2 delivers good image quality and a familiar Nikon interface, but its Wi-Fi capabilities are not up to much -- you can't email or Web-post pics, only transfer them to a nearby computer or printer, which is quicker over USB anyway

Nikon Coolpix 7600

This 7-megapixel, 3x optical-zoom model squarely targets the snapshot set, but it delivers where it really counts: helpful features and very good picture quality
