"should be a question... Why Fi?"
Pros: wi-fi capable, many scene modes to assist novice users
Cons: sluggish performance, inaccurate focusing even with AF-assist light
Summary: I bought this camera and returned it before even using it's "revolutionary" wi-fi capability. I have used Nikon professionally for many years and was excited to see their latest consumer camera. Within 2 hours of testing it out at home, I decided to return it. The major problem I encountered was focusing. This camera would hunt from as far as 3 feet before it could reliably gain focus.
Another problem for Parents, or pet owners is the redeye flash, without the rewdeye flash on, it's in every pic, with the redeye active, the preflash is so invasive and long that the moment is long gone before the image is exposed. Exposure was accurate, but color was a bit on the flat and cool side.
For what it's worth I exchanged the P2 for the Canon a620. It was $50 cheaper and much more reliable and speedy performance. No wi-fi, but your uploaded pics will be in focus and well exposed.
