Nikon Coolpix P7700 Review

The Nikon Coolpix P7700 has the longest zoom lens of any point-and-shoot camera in its class, but the lens should be stopped down to increase sharpness. The Nikon Coolpix P7700 ($499.95 direct)($449.98 at Amazon) is the follow-up to last year's P7100($449.98 at Amazon). It's a streamlined version of that camera's design—it omits the optical viewfinder, so it's not as tall, and integrates the front control wheel into the grip. The lens covers the same 28-200mm field of view—but it starts at f/2 and only closes to f/4 at the telephoto extreme, a full stop faster on both ends of the spectrum. The 12-megapixel camera maintains the excellent control layout of its predecessors, although images aren't quite as sharp with the lens wide open at f/2. The P7700 is a very good camera, but even with a fast lens and larger-than-average 1/1.7-inch image sensor, it can't compete with our Editors' Choice high-end compact—the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100($239.95 at Amazon)—which features a 1-inch sensor and a sharper lens. Design and Features The P7700 measures 2.9 by 4.7 by 2 inches (HWD) and weighs a bit shy of a pound at 13.9 ounces. It's not that...

Good camera, with poor Nikon support

If you can live without fully articulating LCD screen and do not need long optical zoom, buy Canon G12. Same good quality pix, but with far better factory tech support.

Nikon Coolpix P7700 Review

The Nikon Coolpix P7700 is a behemoth. It's huge, it's bulky and it's intimidating. But it is so deliciously feature packed that we can't seem to let go of this camera. We love the P7700 and given its price, it's probably the best camera for anyone looking to experiment with photography without...

Nikon Gets it Mostly Right

Nikon Coolpix P7700 Review

The Nikon Coolpix P7700 occupies the top spot in the Coolpix line both in terms of quality and price.  While most Coolpix cameras are relatively simple point and shoots, made for quick snapshots, the Coolpix P7700 has much more to offer.  It has a larger sensor than the other Coolpix cameras, an...

Where consideration for the Nikon P7700 becomes tricky depends on its intended use. For those already equipped with a DSLR and lenses, the P7700 makes an excellent second camera to use when the bulk of a DSLR system is cumbersome.

The P770's image quality is slightly better than its predecessor's, if only because of improved colour rendering. Overall, unless you really need the optical viewfinder, it's a reasonable upgrade. It is also more ergonomic than the Canon PowerShot G15, generally because of its shooting design.
