The Nikon COOLPIX P7700 Digital Camera (Black) is compact only in its physical dimensions--in terms of image quality, it's huge. A
bigger-than-usual 12.2MP CMOS sensor (1/1.7") coupled with a sharp 7.1x
optical zoom lens (28-200mm in 35mm equivalent) made with NIKKOR ED
glass mark the P7700 as more than just another compact camera. The lens
has a super-fast f/2.0 maximum aperture that's ideal for making
portraits with a beautifully blurred background, and for shooting in
low-light conditions (maximum aperture at focal lengths longer than 28mm
is f/4.0). Not only can you capture full HD 1080p video with stereo
sound, you can maintain optical zoom capability as well as adjustable
aperture and exposure settings while recording video.
Add Vibration Reduction for sharp photos in low light, blazing fast 8
frames per second shooting speed at full resolution, and a beautiful
921,000-dot high-resolution 3" LCD display to the mix. The choice of
shooting in JPEG or RAW format gives you ultimate control over your
images, and you can focus on your subject from less than 1.0" away for
spectacular macro photographs.
And there's plenty more. There's fast auto focus and start-up, so you
never miss a picture waiting for the camera to catch up with you. Low
Noise Night Mode for beautiful photos without flash at night, with
minimal noise. Or Subject Tracking to automatically track and auto focus
on a moving subject. You have 19 optimized scene modes at your
service, including the Scene Auto Selector, which automatically
recognizes any shooting situation and optimizes all the settings for
that scene.
A 7-blade rounded diaphragm combined with the extremely wide aperture can deliver portraits with beautiful blurred backgrounds (bokeh). A
built-in neutral density (ND) filter can help you capture those blurred
backgrounds even in bright sunlight. A wide range of filters and
effects are available also: Soft Focus, Nostalgic Sepia, High Key, Low
Key, Selective Color, Cross Process, Zoom Exposure, Defocusing, Creative
Monochrome, Painting and more. The P7700 will also accept a 40.5mm
filter.
There's even a built-in full-size accessory shoe that allows you to
use serious professional Nikon DSLR accessories like Nikon Speedlights,
the GP-1 GPS module, an external stereo microphone, and more. The
P7700 is a compact camera for photographers who won't settle for compact
results.
