Nikon Coolpix P7700 Manual Guide

Nikon Coolpix P7700 Manual Guide - Still want to share the review from Nikon, along with with it's user manual. The Nikon Coolpix P7700 is a high end compact aimed at enthusiast photographers. Launched in August 2012 it replaces the P7100, maintaining much of the older model's styling and extensive controls, but introducing a new 12 Megapixel CMOS sensor and upgrading many other features. The new sensor provides not only larger images, but brings with it a 1080p30 best quality video mode as well as faster 8fps continuous shooting. The lens retains its 28-200mm equivalent range, but now has a brighter f2-4 maximum aperture. And the earlier model's tilting 3in 921k dot screen has been replaced with one of the same size and resolution that's now hinged at the side and can face forwards.

The Coolpix P7700 is a little smaller and lighter than its predecessor, and that's due, in part at least, to the absence of an optical viewfinder. Though the P7100's optical viewfinder was small and only provided an 80 percent view, removing it from the P7700 and not offering any optional accessories means the screen is now the only means of composing images, which won't appeal to everyone.

It's also one of the key differences between the Coolpix P7700 and the Canon PowerShot G15, a model it otherwise shares a great deal in common and with which it's designed to compete head-to-head. Read my full review to discover what other differences set these two advanced compacts apart and which offers the best all round experience for those looking for DSLR-style features and handling in a smaller format.
