Current models

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.

A Series

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

Coolpix 5xxx

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

RAW image format

The following Coolpix cameras support RAW image files:

  • 5000 (discontinued) - NEF format
  • 8700 (discontinued) - NEF format (with firmware upgrade)
  • P6000 (discontinued) – NRW format
  • P7000 (discontinued), P7100 – NRW format
  • Some Coolpix cameras which are not advertised as supporting a RAW file format can produce usable raw files if switched to a maintenance mode. Note that switching to this mode can invalidate a camera's guarantee. Nikon models with this capability: E700, E800, E880, E900, E950, E990, E995, E2100, E2500, E3700, E4300, E4500.
