The Canon PowerShot G15 and Nikon Coolpix P7700 are two cameras with a long lineage (with the Nikon's being a bit harder to follow). The Canon PowerShot G-series and Nikon's competitive offerings have gone through numerous variations over the years,...

Excellent control layout. 7.1x zoom lens. Fast aperture lens. Very good high ISO performance. Hot shoe.

Lens is a tad soft at f/2. Slow shot-to-shot time. No optical viewfinder or EVF option.

Despite a rather high asking price, there aren't many non-imaging functions built into the camera. The Samsung EX2F has built-in Wi-Fi, which isn't even an add-on feature for the P7700. You can use an Eye-Fi memory card with the camera, and there is...

Excellent image quality with large image sensor ; Low light results are outstanding ; Good optical zoom measurement versus other fixed-lens, large image sensor models in this price class ; Response times are fast in all conditions ; Full auto mode is...

Camera is a little chunky ; Power button can be a little tough to press because of small size and location between various dials ; Some dials hang over the edge of the camera, meaning you may bump them out of place inadvertently ; Close-up focus can be...

The number of high-end fixed-lens cameras aimed at intermediate and advanced photographers is growing, including the Nikon Coolpix P7700. Image quality is outstanding with this model, and it performs especially well in low light. Although most other...

It's taken three tries but Nikon has finally produced a flagship Coolpix camera that stacks up well against its main competitor's class-leading cameras. No, the Nikon Coolpix P7700 isn't perfect and it still only uses a 1/1.7-inch sensor compared to...

Compact camera with intuitive handling ; Robust body with many function buttons and setup dials ; Nice color reproduction ; Full HD video

Missing optical or electronic viewfinder

Fast aperture lens, Lots of dials for full manual control, Gorgeous 3-inch fully articulated screen, Fast shooter (8fps)

Slow recycle time between shots, Dynamic range slightly on the lower side, Bulky

Simpler, more original camera design; faster to use overall; nice, new 7x zoom lens with maximum f/2 aperture at the wide end; finally offers full 1080p HD video shooting; gorgeous, high-resolution, side-swiveling, 3-inch LCD screen

Still has some performance issues particularly when shooting RAW images; mediocre focus performance in bad lighting; no optical viewfinder; average low-light performance for a camera in this class

No, the Nikon P7700 is not going to knock your socks off when stacked up against something like the Canon G1 X and its large, nearly DSLR-sized sensor but that camera is $300 more expensive and considerably bulkier than this new flagship Coolpix model....
