No, the Nikon CoolPIX P100 is not a DSLR camera. In fact, it is a compact digital camera. However, it generates SLR-quality images. The COOLPIX P1000 supports RAW (NRW) files, which allow you to make changes to image settings such as white balance, exposure, and colour reproduction without affecting the original. With COOLPIX Picture Regulate, you can easily control your creativity with four preset modes: Standard, Neutral, Vivid, and Monochrome, plus two custom modes.
