The Nikon Coolpix P3 and P4 are eight megapixel fixed-lens compact digital cameras, made in China for the Nikon Corporation of Japan, announced on 21st February 2006.

The P3 features a wireless network interface facility; The Coolpix P4 is similar, but without the wireless network.

The lens is a Zoom-Nikkor with 3.5x optical zoom, 7.5-26.3mm (35mm-equivalent 36-126mm).


The casing is mostly plastic, with polished metal ends, reaching onto the top-plate, around the shutter release and on-off switch, and around the VR (Vibration Reduction) switch. Beside the lens is a small circle with three holes in, containing the microphone. On the user's left end is the speaker, and on the P3, there is a blue LED, signalling when the WiFi network is in use. The right end houses the wrist-strap loop and the combined USB and video connector, with a fiddly captive plastic cover.

In the base there is a tripod bush and a door allowing access to the battery and SD memory card. The battery is held in by a very delicate sprung plastic triangle.
