Announced at PMA in February, the Nikon Coolpix P4 is Nikon’s top-of-the-range compact camera for 2006 (the Nikon P3 is the same camera with the addition of WiFi). 8 megapixels, a 2.5 inch LCD screen and 3.5x zoom lens are fairly standard features nowadays. More interesting on the Nikon P4 is the introduction of Vibration Reduction, the first time that an optical image stabilisation system has featured on a Nikon compact camera. 16 scene modes and Aperture-priority mode make the Nikon P4 of interest to both advanced photographers and casual snapshooters. Can the Nikon P4 live up to its “Performance” tag? Read the full review to find out.

We would love a new family snappy as our Nikon CoolPix 5000 died after just 2 years. I was told that the compact digitals should only last as long as the amount of film you would have used in relation to the cost of the camera. It cost us $1200 2 years ago. We didn't get our moneys worth.
My partner and I have all Pro Nikon gear in our studio. Any comments about this and do you think we should trust another Nikon compact?
