With a 12.2MP CMOS sensor, an articulated 3.0” LCD, a 28-200mm f/2.0-4.0 lens and Full HD 1080p video, it stacks up against the best compact cameras available. As someone who works with big DSLRs, Larry likes the fact that the P7700 was compact but “grab-able” and substantial enough to feel good in his hands. He also appreciates the direct access to pro-like control, made possible by top plate dials, and he mentions the Auto-scene modes and special effects available for newbies.

Its Quick Menu Button with “My Menu” makes for easy access to custom control, and its start-up time and zooming speed stand out. Larry goes on to mention some minor drawbacks, but is really impressed with the camera’s flash capabilities, which include a hot-shoe mount and a pop-up flash with commander mode, capable of controlling an off-camera Nikon Speedlight.
