The 'P' in Nikon's Coolpix P-series of cameras stands for 'performance' and true to their
name they are really powerful. Last year's Coolpix P330 had a compact body and a fast f/1.8 lens and this year, the company has
introduced a slightly faster f/1.7 lens and a new control ring with the upgraded Coolpix P340. The P340 has the same slim chassis and
1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor as its predecessor.Also, it seems as though Nikon has got the price right. Let's see if the Coolpix stands up to our initial positive impression.
Look and Feel
Nikon hasn't strayed too much from the tried-and-tested design of its predecessor. The only physical addition to the body is in the form of a control ring around the lens. Otherwise, it still features the same sleek matte black body
with dimensions of 103.0x58.3x32.0mm
(minus the bits that stick out). It is also available in white but that version doesn't look as good as the black one. The Coolpix P340 is
easy to hold in one hand which makes for hassle-free operation. Moreover, its weight 194g makes it slightly lighter than the P330.
We had no problem slipping it into our jeans pocket.
