Arriving at our labs this week is Nikon's CoolPix P1. The Nikon CP P1 offers 8.0 effective megapixels, 3.5x optical zoom, 2.5-inch LCD display, and 10-step aperture priority mode. In addition, the digital camera offers Nikon exclusive features pertaining to red-eye reduction as well as D-Lighting, which is an integrated technology for repairing photographs with dark images. However, another one of its selling points is the ability to wirelessly transfer photographs from the camera to any WiFi-certified printer or computer. Unlike some of its competitors, this 8.0MP camera has all of its 802.11b/g capabilities integrated into the camera housing, and all that is required from the computer is to install the appropriate drivers and software. The troubling point, however, is that it requires Nikon's proprietary camera software in order to transfer the photographs, and of course, the binaries are presently limited to Microsoft Windows XP. We have already contacted Nikon numerous times in attempts of opening up their WiFi software/drivers, or simply the wireless developer information, to spur a FOSS project to allow alternative OS users access to the Nikon WiFi support. Thus far, we have not officially heard back from any representatives, and if needed, we will simply work on reverse-engineering the product. To help in this movement, we recommend contacting Nikon Corporation via e-mail or telephone. We will keep pyroCPU updated with information on bringing P1/P2 wireless camera support to Linux, while later this weekend we will be posting some photo samples from the Nikon P1.
