Each year in February Nikon announces a new lineup of Coolpix point and shoot cameras. Here’s this year’s roster:

I think the most interesting of the group is the P300. It has a new f1.8 maximum aperture lens and a decent wide angle at 24mm. It shoots full HD video and has a 12MP sensor. The only downside I see with the camera is that it doesn’t offer a RAW (NEF) option. But, that’s probably ok since the majority of pics you take with a small point and shoot will be used on the web or in small picture books.
