The Nikon Coolpix P3 is a digital compact from Nikon's P-series, released in 2007 as one of the first Coolpix models with built-in Wi-Fi, aimed at enthusiasts who wanted wireless image transfer alongside strong image quality.
It uses an 8.1-megapixel 1/1.8-inch CCD sensor behind a 3.5x optical zoom lens equivalent to roughly 36-126mm at f/2.7-5.3, vibration reduction image stabilisation, a 2.5-inch LCD, SD card storage, and built-in 802.11b/g wireless for sending images to a printer or PC.
Its combination of a larger sensor, vibration reduction, and early Wi-Fi made it more versatile than most compacts of its generation, though the wireless feature required Nikon's own software and is largely obsolete today.
It is now mainly of interest to collectors and users wanting a capable compact for casual shooting rather than the Wi-Fi feature. Buyers should test the zoom and stabilisation, check the LCD, and confirm the battery still holds a usable charge.
