Nikon COOLPIX P7000 review
The Best of Both Worlds with Expanded Creative Control With advanced
functions and features similar to those found in Nikon?€™s line of
award-winning and critically acclaimed digital SLRs, the COOLPIX P7000 is
the ultimate compact camera that?€™s ready to take on almost any photo
assignment. In a pro?€™s gadget bag or in the hands of a spirited
enthusiast, passionate photographers of all levels will benefit from the
P7000?€™s high performance, extensive manual controls, stunning image
quality and advanced shooting functions including the new Zoom Memory and
User Setting options. The 10.1-megapixel COOLPIX P7000 features a large
1/1.7?€? CCD sensor coupled with a 7.1x Wide Angle Optical Zoom-NIKKOR
ED Glass Lens for consistently superior image quality that explodes with
vivid colour and sharpness frame after frame. Taking Nikon?€™s
commitment to image quality a step further, the P7000 adopts Nikon?€™s
new EXPEED C2?„? high performance digital image processing engine to
ensure high-quality pictures with stunning colour and sharpness. ISO
sensitivity ranges from ISO 100 to 6400, (expandable to ISO 12,800 in low
noise Night Mode), ensuring incredibly sharp, crisp images when shooting in
low-light conditions or photographing fast-moving subjects. The P7000 also
offers a variety of functions that enable superior rendering when shooting
at high sensitivities, including a Low Noise Night Mode and a Noise
Reduction Filter. The camera also features Nikon?€™s 5-Way VR Image
Stabilization System, which utilizes a variety of tactics including optical
lens shift to minimize the effect of camera shake and help prevent blur
while shooting handheld or in low-light conditions. Thoughtful engineering
has led to the addition of features that will be embraced by current
digital SLR users. The Zoom Memory function allows the camera?€™s
28-200mm (35mm equivalent) lens to be used in a way that simulates use of a
prime lens, ideal for shooting at a preferred angle of view. The P7000 also
adds controls and buttons for key features like ISO, white balance,
bracketing and exposure compensation. The new innovative and independent
Quick Menu dial ensures instant settings with the comfort of analogue
operation. Advanced users will also enjoy the benefits of shooting NRW
(RAW) files (both PC- and MAC compatible) for creative freedom and macro
abilities as close as 2cm. While the image quality of the P7000 is nothing
short of stellar, the video capabilities are far beyond that of a typical
compact camera. The P7000 records HD video at 720p at 24 frames-per-second
(fps) with Optical Zoom and Autofocus control. A COOLPIX first, users can
now record audio with an external stereo microphone (sold separately) via
the microphone input. An accessory microphone or Nikon Speedlight can be
mounted on the P7000?€™s hot shoe. The COOLPIX P7000 is available in
black.
