Key Features — Nikon P7800
12MP 1/1.7-Inch Sensor: A larger-than-average compact sensor delivers improved detail and dynamic range compared to smaller point-and-shoot sensors.
Built-In Electronic Viewfinder: Allows eye-level composition as an alternative to the rear LCD, useful in bright sunlight where screens are difficult to see.
3.0-Inch Vari-Angle LCD: The 921k-dot articulating display tilts to accommodate low-angle, overhead, and self-portrait shooting positions.
Lens-Based Stabilization: Optical stabilization built into the lens helps reduce camera shake for sharper handheld images.
8fps Burst Shooting: Captures up to 8 frames per second, a strong burst rate for a compact camera suited to action and candid shooting.
ISO 80–1600 Range: A base ISO of 80 keeps noise minimal in bright conditions, while 1600 extends usability into lower-light environments.

Description — Nikon P7800
The Nikon COOLPIX P7800 is a point-and-shoot camera centered on a 12MP, 1/1.7-inch sensor processed by Nikon's EXPEED C2 image processor. The ISO range runs from 80 to 1600, covering everyday shooting scenarios. Composition options are generous: a 3.0-inch vari-angle LCD with 921k-dot resolution pairs with a built-in electronic viewfinder, giving shooters two ways to frame a shot. Lens-based image stabilization helps reduce blur during handheld capture.
The camera's burst mode reaches 8 frames per second, making it capable of keeping up with moving subjects. Still image color profiles include Standard, Neutral, and Vivid. Video can be recorded at 25fps or 30fps in a Standard color profile.
Connectivity includes Wi-Fi and USB, and storage is compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. The body uses a metal and plastic construction, though it carries no weather sealing. Autofocus relies on contrast detection.
