Our verdict
The Nikon Coolpix P310 is a good compact camera, but it does have a few issues. The purple fringing is of most concern, and while the inability to shoot raw isn’t an issue in itself, its presence would allow greater control of noise.
However, the P310 has a lot of advanced features for a camera with a street price of around £230, which is around £100 cheaper than the Canon PowerShot S100.
