This was the first digital camera we ever bought. I works really well during the day & takes great pictures when the flash isn't necessarily needed. However, in the evening, it does not do as well. The flash takes a while to go off & our kids always end up blinking & their eyes are closed in the pictures. It is a little bulky in size but is still portable. We are looking for another camera to replace it soon.

Great little camera.  Quality pictures.  Do not dare drop, the lens will malfunction and you will spend big bucks to repair.  The Coolpix P1 offers a high-quality 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor Glass lens with a focal range equivalent to that of a 36-126mm lens in 35mm format and feature a large, bright 2.5-inch LCD for easy viewing in all conditions.. For greater control and creativity, it features Aperture-Priority Auto mode with 10-step manual control in 1/3EV increments and 11 of the camera's 16 Scene Modes are Advanced Scene modes for even greater creative control of the end result. The camera is compact and lightweight, measuring just 3.6 x 2.4 x 1.5 inches and weighing only six ounces. The camera features Nikon's innovative and exclusive in-camera technology that makes it easy to capture great pictures. Face-Priority AF makes certain that faces remain in focus when shooting portraits by automatically sensing the presence of a human face within the frame and setting accurate focus accordingly. The In-Camera Red-Eye FixTM technology automatically detects and corrects red eyes in an image while the D- Lighting function automatically compensates for insufficient flash or excessive backlighting. To ensure a crisp, clear image before leaving the scene, Blur Warning will alert the user that a shot has been compromised. The Coolpix P1 can also record high-quality VGA resolution movies at a rate of up to 30 fps with a choice of seven movie modes with sound recording in six of those modes. A Time-Lapse function enables the user to capture events occurring over an extended period of time. The included Nikon PictureProject software work together with the camera seamlessly to make wireless photo transfer as easy as 1-2-3. The Wireless Camera Setup Utility, which uses a simple seven-step Wizard that will configure the cameras for wireless operation. The latest version of PictureProject offers convenient options allowing users, for example, to import wireless images automatically into a slideshow as well as tools to edit, organize, design and share images. The software is designed to extend the enjoyment of taking pictures: transferring images from camera to computer, organizing images so they are easy to find, editing them to add an extra sparkle, designing ways to show off the pictures and sharing them with friends and family.

Within less than a year the lens shutter broke and it will not open.  Since it shows an error when turned on I cannot even access my old photos stored on it.  Prior it was taking blurry photos.  It's cost does not justify the quality of the camera.
