Nikon 8-megapixel Digital Cameras

Nikon Coolpix L19

The inexpensive, 8-megapixel Coolpix L19 is an unpretentious and sturdy compact camera that's well suited to the rough and tumble of family use. The resolution is modest and you get very little manual control, but, in a perverse kind of way, it's a very likeable camera

Nikon Coolpix P50

The Nikon Coolpix P50 has an old-fashioned, boxy feel with a helpful chunky grip. It's a solidly built, easy-to-use, nuts-and-bolts kind of camera. It offers a surprisingly high degree of control over image settings, and as a result its photos are excellent quality for the price

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 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
