Nikon COOLPIX P300
Nikon COOLPIX P300 Key features:
1. 12 megapixel BSI (back side illuminated) CMOS sensor (1/2.3in)
2. ISO 100-3200 at full 12MP resolution
3. 1080p High Definition video mode
4. 24-100mm (equivalent) f/1.8-4.9 lens with optical stabilization
5. PASM modes
6. Twin control dials - one top, one rear
7. Built-in stereo microphone
Just got hold the Nikon coolpix P300 and I test immediately its automatic settings.
Although, it's my first time to use, I find it comfortable and user friendly. I am not a Pro but I used some compact camera before and I said "Wow"! This is what I want.
Here, I will share some photos I shoot using this incredible compact "point and shoot camera."
Exposure Mode: Programmed Auto
Aperture: F/4.5, Shutter speed: 1/1250s, Metering: Matrix, ISO Sensitivity: ISO 160
Exposure Mode: Programmed Auto
St. Andrews Church. The Church of Scotland here in Gibraltar.

Internal view of The Gibraltar Church
Exposure:
Aperture: F/2.8, Shutter speed: 1/15s, Metering: Matrix, ISO Sensitivity: ISO 400
Here, I proved this is great compact camera in low light. Because, the time I shot this photo there is no other light except the light from the window and from the altar. I did not even use its built in flash. Compare to other photos taken by my Digital Single Lens Reflex camera with high ISO. Nikon CoolPix 300P result is better. Although, in cropping up I find some noise on it.
The following photos you are about to see is taken by Nikon CoolPix 300P SCENE Auto Selector:
Scene Mode: Easy Panorama

Celebrity Eclipse
Cruise Ship Celebrity Eclipse 2nd visit in Gibraltar
Celebrity Eclipse at anchor in Gibraltar bay
Last 23rd of May 2011 I made a shot of Celebrity Eclipse on her first visit here in Gibraltar. That time she able to alongside in the commercial berth on the north mole, and easy for the passengers to go ashore and see the beautiful site of the city. Since, the explosion of one of the slop tank in the port. The arriving cruise liner is not permitted to come alongside. Instead, to let go the anchor and by the tendering boat the tourist were able to go ashore as part of the cruise itinerary.
My last photo post of Cruise ship Ocean Princess as you observed she is also in anchorage area. Well, for safety purpose that's better what Gibraltar port is doing. Hope, they can repair the damaged tank so that everything will be back to normal. Peace!
