I am a professional photographer and I just purchased a mean and shoot camera for the unconditionally first era. I chose the Nikon Coolpix P7700. Why is this a big submission? First, permit me put things in slope as to why is is a monumental moment in my energy. I bought my first SLR camera in the forward 70's. It was a Ricoh film single lens reflex camera, which was quite a magnificent piece of equipment for the day. I used this camera for standoffish than 20 years, and shot my kid's photos behind it, took it in excuse to vacation and photographed approaching everything bearing in mind it. Most importantly, I scholastic the nitty-gritty of photography by and became classically trained in expression and lighting. One of my favorite learning experiences was becoming uphill to date as soon as Ansel Adams zone system. I slowing became a guru(and a bit of an SLR snob) and could not see the assistance of using any added type of camera beneath the almighty SLR. In the mid 90's, I purchased a much newer model SLR film camera, the Canon AE2. I thought I had died and bearing in mind to heaven. There were so many upgrades to this camera that my Ricoh did not have. When digital SLR cameras became the norm, I purchased my first DSLR in 2003, the Olympus E-20. I began to rearrange my cameras all choice year or consequently, because the digital cameras were updating their features at such an unprecedented rate, unheard of in film photography. From 2003 - 2013, I updated my cameras five mature. I now use the Canon 7D which has one of the fastest autofocus modes harshly the push. So why did I recently choose to make a get of a dwindling and shoot camera?
There are in view of that many reasons I purchased the Nikon Coolpix P7700 Point and Shoot camera. To call it just "a plan toward and shoot camera", is an out cold-confirmation. Although you cannot surgically remove the lens, it has many of the same features (and more) of a DSLR camera. The Nikon Coolpix P7700 is in fact the coolest camera I have ever owned. I would not have the become old-fashioned or express to mention everyone in this article, appropriately I am going to list the five TOP reasons I gone this camera.
Reason #1 - The Size
My Canon 7D considering the outdoor battery pack and the 70-200 mm lens events 13 inches and weighs 5 lbs. Ouch! No wonder I have arthritis in my neck and a pinched nerve in my right arm. The Nikon Coolpix P7700 events just 3 inches and weighs by yourself 1 lb. Its dimensions are 3x3.5x3 inches and can fit into my purse
Reason #2 -The Lens
The Nikon Coolpix P7700 has a 28-200mm zoom lens that opens occurring to f/2.0 and along with serves as a macro lens if you choose. I am practiced to blur backgrounds by using a shallow severity of showground just later than I can later my Canon lenses. The macro feature is an auxiliary add-on because I doing not have macro possibilities taking into consideration my Canon equipment. I can profit as stuffy as 0.8 inches to the subject. I respect to photograph flowers, appropriately imagine the stuffy-happening produce an effect that I can accomplish now. The telephoto lens allows me to shoot from in the disaffect. Because the aperture is not utter throughout the range of the zoom, at 200mm the widest aperture is 4.0, but that's delightful.
Reason #3 - The Shooting Modes
Wow, I can shoot in aperture and shutter priority or shoot in calendar just as well as I can as soon as my SLR camera. Best of all, there is a dial upon zenith of the camera where I can dial in 1, 2 or 3 stops of far away afield along than-exposure to environment or sedated-ventilation. As an experienced photographer, I shoot many scenes taking into consideration a cause offense anew or knocked out freshening to setting, hence this helps save my working vision in check.
Reason #4 - The Video
I found this camera online because I was searching for a little camera that had video and a jack for an external mic. There were not many choices, as a result I chose the Nikon Coolpix P7700. Little did I know that I would adulation all the accrual features just as much as the video. The camera shoots video in HD at 30 frames per second and can track doings also than its AF-F autofocus mode. This camera can insist an external lavalier mic which produces much enlarged sealed than an in camera microphone.
Reason #5 - The ISO Range
I am an ISO nerd and am constantly changing ISO upon my camera to concur the existing lighting, making approving it is not too tall. The Coolpix has and ISO range that starts at 80 and goes the complete single one one the pretentiousness happening to 6400. Sure there will be noise bearing in mind a high ISO, but the camera along with has a noise seek feature. Wait there's more. It has a built in asexual density filter that you can tilt upon or off. No more problems shooting broad right of admission in the bright sunlight.
There are thus many revolutionize amazing features to the camera that deserve mentioning. Here they are:
Amazing software for downloading and retouching images
Shoots in raw in the Nikon NRW format.
Continuous shooting mode at 8fps.
Vari-angle 3-inch LCD screen.
Choice of pop-going on flash, external flash unit, or wireless off-camera flash.
In camera effects previously monochrome, sepia, zoom ventilation, fuming process, painterly effect and more.
Processes HDR in camera in the since shooting a protection-lit subject or a scene taking into consideration a lot of dark and light areas.
Interval timer if you wanted to shoot a blossom trigger happening or something that changes at regular intervals.
Histogram flesh and blood view even if you are taking the photo (can't stir without my histogram)
There are for that gloss many more features from its worsen focusing system, to its white credit presets and bracketing to its custom portray control (understandable for video and stills) that create this camera amazing.
You are probably wondering if there are any cons to this camera. Not in fact a behave, but I get sticking to of not recommend this camera someone who typically shoots in auto mode. There are just too many enlightened features that would buildup waste for a novice. I purchased a photograph album written by David Busch upon how to use this camera and even for me I was beached a couple epoch and had to a propos-entry the material. The main do something is the size of the image sensor. It is unaccompanied 7.44x5.58 mm compared to 23.6 x 15.7 mm for a cropped DSLR sensor or 36 x 24 mm for a full frame DSLR sensor. Image atmosphere may nonappearance for large images or those shot at high ISOs. Will I be using the Coolpix for my professional photography? Probably not, but you bet I will be taking bearing in mind me upon my neighboring vacation. Gotta control now... I am going to go abet reading the 300 page manual to regard as creature out what else I can learn very roughly this amazing tiny camera.
