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."

Aperture: F/4.5, Shutter speed: 1/1250s, Metering: Matrix, ISO Sensitivity: ISO 160

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.
