Camera Overview — Nikon Coolpix P7700
Key Features — Nikon Coolpix P7700
12MP 1/1.7-Inch Sensor: Larger than typical point-and-shoot sensors, the 1/1.7-inch format captures more light and detail for improved image quality.
Fully Articulated LCD: The 3-inch, 921,000-dot screen tilts and rotates to allow comfortable framing from high, low, or off-angle positions.
8.8fps Burst Mode: Unusually fast burst rate for a compact camera, useful for capturing action or fast-moving subjects.
Optical Image Stabilization: Lens-based OIS reduces camera shake during handheld shooting without degrading image quality through digital cropping.
ISO 100–6400 Range: Covers a broad range of lighting conditions from bright daylight to low-light indoor environments.
Fast f/2.0 Maximum Aperture: The built-in lens opens to f/2.0 at the wide end, allowing more light in and enabling background separation even at this sensor size.

Description — Nikon Coolpix P7700
The Nikon COOLPIX P7700 is a point-and-shoot compact camera centered on a 12MP, 1/1.7-inch sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 4000x3000 pixels. For photographers who like to shoot quickly, the 8.8fps burst mode is a standout feature at this camera size. The fully articulated 3-inch LCD with 921,000 dots of resolution gives shooters the freedom to compose from angles that a fixed screen simply can't accommodate.
Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps keep images sharp during handheld shooting. The ISO range spans 100 to 6400, and video can be recorded at up to 1080p at 30fps. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system.
Storage relies on SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the camera connects via USB. The body measures 119 x 73 x 50mm and weighs 392 grams, and battery life is rated at 330 shots per CIPA standards. Note that there is no weather sealing, no viewfinder, and no wireless connectivity included.
