They are identical except the P3 has Wi-Fi capability. If you don't need or use Wi Fi, the P4 should be great for you.

Hi Brenda,
Then why P4 is more expensive as it has no wifi?
that way P3 should be costlier as it has wifi.

Buck: WiFi means wireless fidelity, which for a camera means you can download, save or print your photos to a computer without having to connect via cables. Sorry I didn't see your question sooner!

Desh, I'm not really sure why that is. When they were first released, the P3 sold for from $40 to $100 more than the P4- here are some links talking about the original price difference:

"Nikon also announced a sister model (the Coolpix P4) that offers exactly the same specification without the Wi-Fi for around $40 less."

etc.

etc.

Since then maybe the market has fluctuated, maybe they're trying to push sales of the P3? Not really sure. I don't hear many people clamoring for wireless cameras (yet), so perhaps it's a sales thing.
