Nikon Coolpix series

The Nikon Coolpix series are digital compact cameras in many variants produced by Nikon. It includes superzoom, bridge, travel-zoom, miniature compact and waterproof/rugged cameras.

Nikon Coolpix cameras are organized into five different lines. The line in which a particular camera is placed is indicated by the letter which is the first character of its model number. The lines are: the (A) series, the (AW) all weather series, the (L) life series, the (P) performance series, and the (S) style series.

The Coolpix A Series is Nikon's new flagship point and shoot camera.

Note some cameras are numbered 5xxx on front, and E5xxx on bottom.

The following Coolpix cameras support RAW image files:

Some Coolpix cameras which are not advertised as supporting a RAW file format can produce usable raw files if switched to a maintenance mode.
