Keeping up with the tradition of using Coolpix cameras I picked up the new P340 on Saturday. I wasn't expecting much improvement over the previous P300/310/330 but was looking foreward to the Focus Peaking and the wifi.

Took it out to the wetlands today with thunderstorms threatening to use on the Swarovski STX 95 mm Scope. One of the advantages of using a small sensor camera is being able to get fast shutter speeds at low iso.
The camera performs in a similar manner to previous models so I won't go into the setup here and vignetting disappears around 45 mm in Macro Mode.
Here are a few photos from today. I haven't looked at the Raws yet.
Distances were from 30-80 meters for photos 2,3,4 and 5, but 1 was about 10 meters.
