Nikon Coolpix P310 Review

Introduction

The Nikon Coolpix P310 is a new pocket compact camera designed to appeal to the keen enthusiast photographer. The Nikon P310 has a 4.2x optical zoom with a focal range of 24-100mm, maximum apertures of f/1.8-4.9 and lens-shift Vibration Reduction. The P310 boasts a sensitivity range of ISO 160 to 6400, creative PASM shooting modes, full 1080p HD video recording with stereo sound and slow and fast motion movies, a burst mode of 5 continuous shots at 6 frames per second, 99-point autofocus system and a 3-inch 920,000-dot LCD screen. The Nikon Coolpix P310 is available in black or white for £299.99 / $329.95 / €354.00.

Ease of Use

The Nikon Coolpix P310 is virtually identical to its predecessor, the P300, in terms of its external design and looks, with the main change being the addition of a Function button to the front of the camera. You can easily carry the P310 around in a trouser or shirt pocket, as it measures 103.0 x 58.3 x 32.0 mm and weighs less than 200g with the battery and memory card fitted. The P310 is marginally bigger than the Canon PowerShot S100, but quite a bit smaller than the Panasonic Lumix LX5 and the Olympus XZ-1, although all of these models are still eminently pocketable.

The P310 has a 4.2x zoom lens with a versatile focal range of 24-100mm, more than wide enough for sweeping landscapes yet still offering enough reach for head and shoulder portraits. The lens has a headline-grabbing maximum aperture of f/1.8 at the wide-angle setting, but this quickly drops off as you move through the focal range, reaching a disappointingly slow aperture of F/4.9 at 100mm, which prevents nicely blurred backgrounds from being recorded at the longer telephoto settings. Also note that because of the smaller 1/2.3" sensor, the size employed by the vast majority of compacts, the P310 doesn't blur the background as much as the Olympus XZ-1 at the same aperture of F/1.8, although it does deliver good results for a "regular" compact. The P310 feels quite solidly constructed yet at the same time lightweight, with a magnesium alloy chassis and similarly high levels of build quality that you find on Nikon's more expensive cameras.

The front of the Nikon Coolpix P310 features the aforementioned 4.2x zoom lens. Nikon have included their VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilisation system to help prevent camera-shake, an increasingly de-facto feature on a lot of high-end compact cameras. Annoyingly there isn't a dedicated button to turn it on and off (it's somewhat buried in the Setup menu). In practice I found that the VR system makes a noticeable difference to the sharpness of the images, as shown in the examples on the Image Quality page. You don't notice that the camera is actually doing anything different when anti-shake is turned on, just that you can use slower shutter speeds than normal and still take sharp photos. It didn't seem to adversely affect the battery life either, which is around 230 shots, so I'd advise you to turn it on and then forget about it.

Top-left of the lens is a single bulb which doubles-up as the self timer and the AF assist lamp. Also on the front of the P310 is a small but helpful vertical rubber strip that acts as a handgrip for your right hand, with enough room for two fingers. Used in conjunction with the similarly textured thumb-grip on the rear, it allows you to get a secure grip the camera and be able to confidently use it one-handed. The Function button is a new and helpful addition to the front of the P310. This is a customisable button that can be set to one of seven key camera settings, although in the absence of a dedicated ISO control on the rest of the camera, we'd strongly suggest that you set it to this.

Maximum resolution JPEGS are stored by the Nikon Coolpix P310 in a couple of seconds. In continuous shooting mode it can capture 6 frames per second when shooting Fine sized JPEGs, albeit only for 5 images, so you can never actually achieve the headline rate in practice in terms of the number of shots that are taken. There's also a slower rate of to 30 full-resolution shots at 1 fps. Disappointingly the P310 still doesn't support the RAW file format, something that all of its main competitors offer, and a prosumer feature that frankly we'd expect on this class of camera.

The P310 has a small and neat built-in flash, activated by a switch on the side of the camera, which pops-up above-right of the lens and therefore provides a little more clearance and less chance of unwanted red-eye in your photos. We found that the built-in flash unit was fine for a bit of fill-in, with respectably quick recycle times and adequate range. Also located on top of the P310 are left and right microphones for the stereo sound, then a Shooting mode dial, similar to what you'd find on a consumer-level DSLR. Ranged around this are settings for the Auto, Program Auto, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority and Manual, plus the Night Landscape and Scene modes. New to the P310 is the U option, which stands for User Settings. This allows you to access a saved menu settings configuration, allowing you to quickly swap between the camera's current settings and a preconfigured one. The action of the dial itself is slightly stiff, meaning that you reach each chosen setting with a definite click and avoid accidentally shooting past the one that you wanted.

In the Backlighting mode, the P310 captures three consecutive shots at varying exposures and combines them into a single photo with a broader range of tones. Three different HDR settings are available for selection. When the Night Landscape scene mode is selected, the P310 takes several shots at a fast shutter speed and then combines them to create a single optimized photo, allowing you to shoot after dark without having to use a tripod. The Easy Panorama scene mode allows you to take vertical or horizontal panorama photos simply by moving the camera in the direction of the on-screen guides. Multiple shots are then combined into a single panorama photo. The angle of view can be selected from 180° (normal) and 360° (wide). The 3D shooting mode combines two images taken from different positions to create a 3D image that can be played back on 3D TVs and computers.

The P310 has a slightly springy shutter button, with the camera taking about 1/4 second to determine focus and exposure but with no discernible shutter delay thereafter. This is surrounded by a pleasingly tactile zoom lever. The zoom is pretty quick to respond, sound-tracked by a mechanical gnat-like buzz. Just behind the shutter release button is an annoyingly small but clearly marked on/off button, within which a a green LED briefly lights up to signify the power is indeed on. Give it a press and the P310 powers up very quickly in around 1/2 second, the lens barrel extending to maximum wide-angle setting and the rear LCD blinking into life.

Completing the P310's top-plate is a rather clever feature, a large, unmarked, thumb-operated dial for setting the shutter speed when the shooting mode is set to Shutter Speed Priority or Manual, or alternatively for setting the exposure compensation. We'd have welcomed the ability to customise its use, though - it would be nice to be able to set the aperture this way, for example, as the navigation wheel on the rear that does change this setting has a nice action but isn't as intuitive for anyone who has used a DSLR before. Still, dual controls for setting the aperture and shutter speed is very rare on any compact, so kudos to Nikon for including both on the P310.

The rear of the P310 has a 3-inch LCD screen with an impressively high 921,000-dot resolution, providing more than enough detail for you to be able to determine whether you have a sufficiently crisp image. To the right is a tiny flash recycling lamp and underneath that a handy one-touch movie recording button.

The Nikon Coolpix P310 can record full 1080p, 1920x1080 pixel HD movies at 30fps with stereo sound and full use of the optical zoom. It also offers a 720p mode at 1280x720 pixels (30 fps) and VGA mode at 640x480 pixels (30 fps). In addition there's a special High Speed mode which records at 15/60/120 fps (no sound) that can be played back in slow motion at 1/4 or 1/2 of the normal playback speed or in fast motion at twice the normal playback speed. The Creative Slider and Special Effects can also be used when shooting movies, and they can be played back on a HDTV via the built-in HDMI connector, although as usual there's no suitable cable supplied in the box. The P310 supports the CEC feature for HDMI which enables playback control using your TV's remote control.

Underneath the movie button is the self-explanatory playback button. Irritatingly there's no external button for controlling the screen display, just a menu option, and there's also no live histogram either (although the OK button does call one up in playback mode). Next is the familiar four-way navigation pad, which allows you to set the flash, exposure compensation, macro and self-timer options, in addition to moving through menus and selecting options, with an 'OK' button at its centre being the means via which changes can be implemented. Surrounding this is a circular wheel, a feature that has been "inspired", shall we say, by some of Nikon's main rivals. As previously mentioned, this is principally used to set the aperture, forming an intuitive partnership with the thumb-controlled dial, as well as performing the more mundane tasks of moving through menus and selecting options.

The Nikon Coolpix P310's familiar Menu button accesses the usual Nikon menu system, which is clear and easy to navigate. Press this when in any of the shooting modes and there are three menus, Shooting, Movie and Set Up, with two menus, Playback and Settings, available when you're reviewing an image. A big oversight is the almost constant need to use the menu system for setting the ISO speed, white balance, metering, AF mode and continuous shooting, with at least 4 button presses required to change these often-used features, although the new Function button does partially address this problem by providing quick access to one key function.

In playback mode, pressing the same Menu button affords access to image editing options including Nikon's exposure adjusting D-Lighting function, Skin Softening and Filter Effects, image slide shows, and the automatic Quick Retouch. A button to the right features the familiar trashcan icon for deleting images on the fly and completes the rear of the P310.

On the right flank of the camera - still viewing it from the rear - there's a metal eyelet for attaching the supplied shoulder strap and a plastic cover protecting the HDMI port. On the left hand flank is the release button for the pop-up flash. There's a centrally positioned, metal tripod mount on the bottom of the camera. The P310 is powered by a 1050 mAh lithium ion battery, good for around 230 shots, that slots into the base alongside the SD / SDHC / SDXC card slot and the the A/V out / USB port. Note that recharging the P310 is a somewhat convoluted affair, with the battery remaining in camera and requiring the battery cover to be closed.

That concludes our look at the Nikon Coolpix P310's ease-of-use, now let's move on to its image quality...

Image Quality

All of the sample images in this Review were taken using the 16 megapixel Fine JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 5Mb.

The Nikon Coolpix P310's image quality is good for a compact camera with a small image sensor. The Nikon Coolpix P310's dealt fairly well with noise, which becomes obvious at ISO 400 along with some colour loss. The noise, colour desaturation and loss of detail gets progressively worse as you go from ISO 400 to ISO 1600 and finally the unusable 3200 and 6400 settings.

The Nikon Coolpix P310 handled chromatic aberrations excellently with limited purple fringing effects appearing only in high contrast situations. The 16 megapixel images were a little soft straight out of the camera at the default sharpen setting and either require some further sharpening in an application like Adobe Photoshop, or you should increase the in-camera sharpening level.

The Nikon Coolpix P310's maximum shutter speed is 8 seconds, which is fairly good news for night photography enthusiasts. Macro performance is very good, allowing you to focus as close as 3cms away from the subject. Vibration reduction is a very useful feature that works well when hand-holding the camera in low-light conditions or using the telephoto end of the zoom range. The built-in flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and good overall exposure. The backlighting feature increases detail in both the shadows and highlights, although at the expense of some additional noise and loss of fine detail, while the Picture Controls, Special Effects during shooting and Filter Effects during playback offer a lot of creative control over your images.

Noise

The Nikon Coolpix P310 has 7 sensitivity settings ranging from ISO 100 to ISO 6400 at full resolution.

ISO 100 (100% Crop)

ISO 200 (100% Crop)

Focal Range

The Nikon Coolpix P310's 4.2x zoom lens provides a focal length of 28-200mm in 35mm terms, as demonstrated below.

24mm

100mm

Sharpening

Here are two 100% crops - the right-hand image has had some sharpening applied in Photoshop. The out-of-the camera images are slightly soft at the default sharpening setting and benefit from some further sharpening in a program like Adobe Photoshop. You can alternatively change the in-camera sharpening level to suit your tastes.

Original (100% Crop)

Sharpened (100% Crop)

   

File Quality

At full resolution, there are two JPEG quality settings available - Fine and Normal.

Fine (5.00Mb) (100% Crop)

Normal (3.09Mb) (100% Crop)

   

Basic (1.76Mb) (100% Crop)

 
 

Chromatic Aberrations

The Nikon Coolpix P310 shows little purple fringing, with very limited effects in areas of high contrast as shown in the example below.

Example 1 (100% Crop)

Macro

The Nikon Coolpix P310 allows you to get as close as 3cms to your subject, in this case a Compact Flash card.

Flash

The flash settings on the Nikon Coolpix P310 are Auto, Auto with Red-eye reduction, Fill Flash, Manual (Full, 1/2, 1/4 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 and 1/64), Slow Sync, Rear-curtain Sync and Flash Off. These shots of a white coloured wall were taken at a distance of 1.5m. Some vignetting and barrel distortion is apparent at the 24mm wide-angle setting, irrespective of whether you use the flash or not.

Flash Off - Wide Angle (24mm)

Flash On - Wide Angle (24mm)

ISO 64 ISO 64
   

Flash Off - Telephoto (100mm)

Flash On - Telephoto (100mm)

Night

The Nikon Coolpix P310's maximum shutter speed is 8 seconds in the Manual mode, which is good news if you're seriously interested in night photography. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 8 seconds at ISO 100.

Night Shot (100% Crop)

Vibration Reduction

The Nikon Coolpix P310 has an vibration reduction mechanism, which allows you to take sharp photos at slower shutter speeds than other digital cameras. To test this, I took 2 handheld shots of the same subject with the lens set to the same focal length and ISO speed. The first shot was taken with vibration reduction turned off, the second with it turned on. As you can see, with vibration reduction turned on, the images are definitely sharper than with vibration reduction turned off. This feature really does seem to make a difference and could mean capturing a successful, sharp shot or missing the opportunity altogether. Here is a 100% crop of the images to show the results.

Conclusion

The Nikon Coolpix P310 is a rather modest upgrade of Nikon's first foray into the world of pocket cameras for keen photographers, the P300, principally increasing the megapixel count from 12 to 16 and adding a handy customisable Function button. While the increase in resolution hasn't adversely affected the P310's image quality, it hasn't improved it either, remaining on a par with its predecessor as good rather than excellent. We also can't understand the continued absence of RAW file support on a camera that is clearly aimed at more advanced users.

The P310's 16 megapixel BSI image sensor produces noise-free images at ISO 100-200 but quickly starts to fall apart at ISO 400, getting progressively worse as you go up the range. The fast F/1.8 lens partly makes up for this, allowing you to use a lower ISO speed, but only at the wide-angle focal lengths, with the maximum aperture quickly becoming slower until you hit a disappointing F/4.9 at 100mm telephoto. The P310's overall image quality is pleasing, but simply not as good as its rivals.

While we love the P310's extensive feature list, high-res LCD screen and the ability to shoot full HD video with stereo sound, full use of the optical zoom and creative filter effects, we can't help but be disappointed by the inexplicable inability to shoot in RAW format, one of the must-have features for this class of camera and something that all of the P310's rivals offer. And although the addition of a Function button makes it easier to access one of the camera's most frequently used features, at least 4 button presses are still required just to change the ISO if you don't assign that function to the new control, something that will again annoy the P310's core audience.

Just like its very similar predecessor, the Nikon Coolpix P310 is a good compact camera for users looking for high-resolution images, full HD video and a degree of creative control. If you also want good results in low-light, RAW format as well as JPEG, and easier access to key settings, there are better options from other manufacturers. Ultimately the new Nikon Coolpix P310 doesn't improve that much on the previous P300 and again misses the mark as a pocketable companion to a DSLR or compact system camera.
