Nikon Coolpix P7100 Review
Nikon Coolpix P7100 Review There is also a Quick Menu Dial that allows you to access many parameters without having to go through the menu system. The menu system is O.K. but it could be better arranged. I find that there are enough buttons and dials (which are laid out well) so that I do not need to access the menus much. There are also 3 custom user modes that can be set up, but I have not done so. Some people say that having an optical viewfinder which is small and shows “only” 80% of the field of view makes it next to useless. I do not agree. Nikon Coolpix P7100 Review In situations where it is difficult to see the LCD (so far I have not had to use the optical viewfinder due to this problem with my P7100) or for action photos it is very useful. Also, the optical viewfinder held against your face helps to steady the camera and reduce camera shake.

Nikon Coolpix P7100 Review
Of course, the Nikon 7100 has built in vibration reduction. My P7100 is replacing my P7000 which had a fixed LCD and I did use the optical viewfinder when I had trouble seeing the LCD and for action shots and it was very useful. Nikon P7100 The fastest shutter speed is 1/4000, however it can only be used at wide angle and f/8. So for practical purposes the fastest shutter speed available is usually 1/2000. There is a built in neutral density filter enabling you to reduce exposure by 3 f/stops to avoid overexposure. Also, the built in flash has exposure compensation of +/-2 f/stops available. I believe you can use Nikon external Speedlight flashes SB-400, 600, 700 and 900, as well as the Su-800 wireless commander with the P7100. Nikon P7100 However, I don’t know if all the features of these flashes can be used. I think for example, to use a wireless flash you may need the Commander.
The camera is user friendly with lots of dials that save time. The predecessors did not have all the dials. I have used the camera in all possible modes and find it responsive. I have captured action pictures such as surfers, bikers, runners, volley ball players and the camera delivers wonderful results with very sharp pictures. I am not a photographer. I just enjoy taking pictures. But I have taken the time to learn the camera. One can snap some shots without bothering with the manual settings.
But it can do so much if the user takes the time to learn its potential; and most photographers who use it as a backup do use those features. Nikon Coolpix P7100 Review It’s not to be compared to a DSLR. People often make that mistake. However, the picture quality is very close to that of a DSLR. I know, because people who own DSLR have commented on P7100 pictures being very much like those of a DSLR. It’s a very smart camera, as long as it is used as it should. If you don’t want to bother with the features available then there are other products on the market, simpler and cheaper or just use an iphone.
Nikon Coolpix P7100 Review
Review by Subjetively Speaking:
I’m a very experienced and knowledgeable photographer, but it’s now how I make my living. I normally use a Nikon D3s. That monster wonderfully serves its purpose as Nikon’s top-of-the-line-do-it-all pro camera. But it’s BIG and HEAVY, often causing certain non-photographers to comment, “It must take really great pictures,” or “OMG, it’s soooo big…” (in response to the latter, I simply deepen my voice and say, “Why, thank you.”). I wanted a small camera as an alternative to carrying the D3s to family functions and other snapshot-worthy occasions, and which I can easily take everywhere and put in a coat pocket. After several days with the camera so far, I think the image quality is excellent, and I’m impressed with the features and and configuration options of the P7100. The camera produces sharp, saturated, properly exposed pictures right out of the box in full Auto mode, but also has the traditional Nikon P S A and M modes. Menu options are easy to understand and configure by just playing around with them. It’s not rocket science. The camera shoots Raw images, so you can edit, tweak and improve them in Nikon’s Capture NX2 or Adobe Lightroom.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with the P7100′s performance. It fulfills the purposes for which I got it admirably. Yes, it’s rather pricey for a camera of this size, but its very feature-rich. Overall, I’m very satisfied. And it’s a fly-weight compared to a pro DSLR. Nicely done, Nikon. Now I will have to get used to people saying, “It’s like, sooo little….”)
