Nikon Coolpix P300 Calling the new Nikon Coolpix P300 a point and shoot is something of a misnomer. Featuring an f/1.8 lens and 12MP sensor for great low light performance and 1080p HD video the P300 operates more like an entry level D-SLR or high end rangefinder camera—except of course it isn’t. It has an integrated 24-100mm (4x) zoom but the manual controls we’re familiar with from SLRs. What is even more stunning is the price. All this for $329! For those who don’t need the ultra-fast lens Nikon has also released some other great new models… Read more »

djc_1617[3]Moving beyond the kit lens is a big and very common step in upgrading your photo gear. One of the first lenses most photographers want to add is a better telephoto zoom. But their jaws drop at the size, weight and price of the big “pro” lenses so their next best choice is the very popular 70-300mm zoom.
