I took some 16 megapixel shots of the Storybook land ride in disney during the day, and I was shocked at how good the detail was.

Neither is great for video (a good, cheaper video/audio camera is the 12 megapixel Elph 300, preferably in pebbled black; it takes decent pictures).

The TX10 uses a 1/2.3in Exmor R CMOS sensor offering an effective resolution of 16.2MP.

Why nikon do u put a aspen size sensor in this camera?

Surprisingly good wide-angle (you don't need a wide-angle adapter.

I wanted a camera to do group photos and the wide angle on this is nice.

for course you can't compare to ones with larger sensor and aperture as the shallow DoF is unreal.

*When the aperture value is set to f/1.8 (largest aperture), the fastest shutter speed is 1/1600 second.

So far, the only reason I'm keeping my super expensive DSLR is because it maintains superior quality with high zoom applications.

Viewed from the perspective of the average point-and-shoot upgrader though, the P310 is a small, pocketable camera with improved ergonomics, that offers full manual control over exposure and gives decent if not exceptional image quality in a wide variety of shooting conditions.

It feels solid but not heavy, it's slim but not tiny, for a non-SLR camera I'd say it's a great machine.

Small, compact and slim enough to fit into the pocket of your jeans - you can tote this little fellow with you anywhere.
