Bright f/2.0 – 4.0 lens When avaialble in Australia – goo.gl Or in USA you can pre order here: goo.gl The NIKKOR lens maintains high brightness throughout the 7.1x zoom range for superior low-light performance. Quality optics using ED glass faithfully capture even the “atmosphere” of any scene and contribute to an overall improvement in resolution. The seven-blade iris diaphragm enables beautifully de-focused backgrounds. Lens-shift VR image stabilization provides effective compensation for camera shake equivalent to a shutter speed increase of approximately four stops. And there is a built-in ND filter that enables a three-stop decrease in shutter speed, helping enhance image quality in a variety of scenes.

Hey Matt, can you do a comparision between the Coolpix P7700 and the Canon G1 X?

Seems like the p7700 would be a great camera to advance from an average ps. And not wanting to have to change lenses.love the fact it has a swivel screen and real hot shoe.wish it had a bit of a bigger sensor. 4/3or 1 inch would have made it ground breaking. But I guess Nikon has to keep there line in check.

It certainly could be better but I would rather have it than not.
I don’t see this doing that well folks want a viewfinder and they were looking for a nice 1″ sensor too. This has neither.

Btw, the Nikon Coolpix 5000 is still a great camera and is still available new on Amazon.com for around $550! Solid, compact and slow but does the job well at 5 MP.

If os phone to camera,.. why not camera to os phone. Its good idea buuuut, is this a response to canon touchscreen interface?????? I think nikon is just buying time with this no?

A long time ago, some P&S cameras supported RAW format…a lot more than today. The manufacturers figured out that that their market really weren’t the people who would be doing any post production work with the files out of the camera but more the type who just wanted to shoot JPG files and get them printed at the drugstore. That’s why RAW was pretty much removed entirely from all the point and shoots. I’m glad to see it returning so that better looking photos can be shot in compact cameras.

I really like the idea of the Coolpix S800c not so much because I can play games on the back of my P&S camera. Really…who needs that! But more so I can take a shot and beam it up right away to my FaceBook or Flickr account. If it has on board editing or instagram capabilities, it will be a hit.
The P7700 looks really exciting, too, with the much faster lens and the quicker interface…the perfect compact “almost dslr” camera that most pros would love to include in their bag for quick shots.

You can still use camera functions as android is booting up. Saw it done in an engadget video.

It was good for stabilizing the camera, that’s about it though.

i think you are mistaken canon g12 with g1x the g1x has 1.5″ sensor.
where nikon has the old 1/1.7″.and now a days the high end we would consider
is sony rx100,g1x,even fuji x1o with 2/3″ sensor. not with 1/1.7 size
aperture is not that wide too panny has 24mm instead of 28mm F1.4 – 2.4 at 90mm.
sony rx100 is f1.8. it’s looks more like Nikon is just catching up. not good
just my opinion,
big thanks for the review, bid FAN of your review.

P7700 imo in many aspects a very nice little enthusiast camera, but what breaks for me is the optics starts out on the wide end at highish 28 mm equivalent 35 mm FOV

I heard that the p7700 supports RAW. it was said on the dpreview website. I think it is interesting how far a “point and shoot” has come, and the new features it is developing!

if you’re clients are club owners, couples and stuff, always JPEGs. You can/should shoot RAW, then develop the photographs and send them or upload them, depending on the service you’re selling. If you shoot studio instead, for bigger clients, where it’s important that the image has a superior quality, RAW or TIFF, but again depends on the client. Usually is JPEGs, ask the client for his expectations, you can’t shoot not knowing how the pics will be used later.

In an Android camera, you wouldn’t be able to quickly change SD-card or battery. The SD-card (oficially anyway) has to be unmounted first, altough I hope that’s done automatically as soon as the lid opens. Secondly, replacing the battery means you have to do a graceful shutdown of Android - I don’t suppose there’s a mechanical switch to initiate a full shutdown. And after that, Android needs to startup again, which takes 20 seconds even on the fastest smartphones…

Hey quick question! When you give a client there photos do you give them high resolution tiffs or jpegs? and do you give them every photo in high resolution?
Thanks

The Nikon P7700 uses a 1/1.7″ (7.6 x 5.7 mm) sensor, the Nikon 1 uses the larger CX 1″ (12.8 x 9.6 mm) sensor.

No one ever used that shitty peephole of a viewfinder on the P7000/7100. It’s inaccurate and so tiny. I’m glad that it’s gone.

P7700 no viewfinder = No sale
What are Nikon thinking?

The sensor is as big as on Nikon 1 series. That is HUGE compared to any other phone(or compact camera) in the market.
