'Monster' of a camera!
Everything the P7000 should have been, unbelievable amount of manual control options, brilliant IQ, well built, only problem I have is very yellow shots in Low Light Mode no matter what I change WB to.

Extremely pleased!!!
I have used both Sony and Canon products similar to this camera. I have to say that I have enjoyed this camera much more!!! All the bells and whistles are there for anyone wanting to "take it up a notch". You can put it on auto and just use it as a point and shoot. It works very well. But if you're like me, and enjoy having a little more control, you can move into a more manual operation and you call the shots. I've shot over 1,000 pics so far (I've only had it for about a week) and I have to say I'm very pleased. I have experimented with flash units on it and been very pleased with that too. I've used Pocket Wizards with flash off camera and I've used a Ray Flash on for macro shots!!! It handles them all with ease. Image quality is very good. I've increased ISO up to 3200 and found the image still usable (although I've corrected some in software for noise reduction). Out of camera images are still good at 800 to 1600 ISO. It fits extremely well in your hand. The ergonomic design is much better than other cameras I've used. It's perfect for those trips where you don't want to take along a DSLR (or for that person that just wants one camera to do it all, this one fits that bill too). I don't used video that much but have tried it out some and found it does a very good job (video is very clear). Overall I plan on using this camera for years to come. I'm very glad I purchased it (after much online searching and researching).

What a surprise!
I just received my Nikon P7100 and took it for a test drive. I have been an film photographer for over 40 years and am one of the last to convert to digital. I wanted a camera that would give both full automatic and full manual capabilities in a budget priced package. If this is what you are looking for then the P7100 is for you. The learning curve for the many controls is short as the camera has an excellent, intuitive layout. Nikon put a lot of thought into which controls would be most used by the advanced user. For example, one dial is dedicated to exposure compensation, a very common accessory for many photographers. Physically, this little gem is well balanced and easy to control. It feels comfy in the hand. The wide ISO range allows for shooting in a variety of lighting conditions with little loss in image quality. I was surprised! If you are the type of person who likes to do a lot of post shooting image manipulation then you won't be disappointed. This camera can record in JPEG and RAW format giving you all the latitude you could desire for computer "darkroom" play. I do wish the camera would accept additional telephoto lenses as I feel limited by the 28-200 mm configuration of the lens system. While this lens appears to be excellent, I would love to reach out with a 400 mm lens. Perhaps Nikon will consider this in a future generation. Whether you are a beginner who is looking for a camera to learn all aspects of photography or a dedicated professional looking for that "pocket back up", you won't be disappointed by the Nikon P7100.

Very impressive!
My wife is a professional photographer so I handed over my new Nikon P7100 for her to "check out" for me. She uses a Nikon D3s with top-of-the line Nikkor lenses for her professional work so I'm sure that she was not expecting too much from the "point & shoot" P7100. Was she surprised...especially with the "low-light" capability of this little "gem"! The photos produced were sharp, bright and the colors were outstanding. Add to that a Nikkor 7.1x wide optical zoom and HD video and she gave the P7100 two "thumbs up" with no reservations. Note: We utilized the HD video at our grandson's basketball game. Even in indoor gym lighting, the video came out sharp, bright and focused with excellent audio quality. All in all, the P7100 is a wonderful camera! I just point & shoot and it does all the work for me.

Fantastic pictures and relatively easy to use
My review targets the casual user who wants excellent photographs without having to use manual controls.
I have always used a point-and-shoot camera and have always been disappointed when I wanted to have my subject appear closer than what the lens was capable of. The P7100 has provided what I am looking for. I like that I can use the automatic controls and the zoom lens gives me the photos I have been wanting to take. The tilting monitor is very helpful for taking high and low shots . There are so many features in this camera that I am pleased with. The colors are true. The battery lasts longer than I expected before needing to be recharged. It takes videos which I haven't even tried yet.
I read a lot of reviews and interviewed several cameras at my local camera shop before I decided on this one. I have made the right choice. While Nikon makes many very good point and shoot cameras, I am glad that I finally made the step up to the next level in photography. I live on an island which gives me lots of photo opportunities. I am still learning to use the features of this camera. I am sure it will take me quite some time to do it well, but I am sure having fun.
The only thing that I would change is the neck strap. I don't want my camera hanging around my neck. I would prefer to have a sturdy wrist strap that could disconnect from the camera when desired. There are several available on-line, but I would like to see Nikon provide their own.

Am very happy
I am learning to be well pleased with the Cool 7100. I have read one review and agree with the author. I like to tilting screen also and find that the angles which are available make using the Cool 7100 a pleasure to use.
It fits in my hand comfortable. I have found the learning of the different programs to be easy to use and the result of the fine quality of pictures is exxcellent. I am planning on using the 7100 on a regular basis.
I have shot portraits using the camera and have received good comments.
The cameras ability to focus in low light condtions is enjoyable. I use the Quality mode for selection of Fine shooting. The selection of noise off controls is good. I have set my camera in the shutter noise off and the beeping sound off and that is a big plus. As I further use the 7100 I will find the other good features to use on the camera. Love the Cool 7100
January 16, 2012
I am pleased
I shoot with several SLRs, both digital and film, A view camera, and a number of compact digitals. I bought the P7100 because I use my compacts a lot and wanted a compact with RAW capability.
Any camera is a compromise in one area or another and the P7100 is no exception. That being said, I am very satisfied with the image quality and the controls. The camera feels substantial and the adjustments I use the most, ISO, quality, aperture, speed and exposure compensation are very easy and quick to change. I don't use scene modes often, so I'll let others comment about that that.
The camera feels good in my hands and although it is a bit heavier than my other compacts, the overall heft and fit and finish says quality. The camera feels like an image making machine, not a toy. I find the screen menus to be logical and reasonably simple to use. The tilting screen is quite useful and the display quality is excellent. I use the hot shoe and a speedlight for flash situations with excellent results.
I wished for more optical zoom when I chose the P7100, but have found the 7:1 to be adequate for most situations. The digital zoom is only available in JPEG quality and is acceptable.
I had an earlier Cool Pix 4300 and found the start-up time to be objectionable. The P7100 start-up time is not an issue for me.
Battery life has been excellent.
If you just want a point and shoot, this is too much camera for you, but if you want a good all around carry camera with a lot of capability and RAW image flexibility, take a hard look at this camera.

Best Coolpix To Date
The following P7100 pro/con comparison is based on taking over 2,000 shots and scores of videos at Disney World in Florida. I am a serious amateur/unpaid professional with over 40 years of 35mm experience, and an avid Photoshop CS5 fan.
Pros:
Solidly built.
Fast start up.
Quiet operation.
Picture quality, tones, and sharpness rivals my Nikon DSLR's.
Great for a beginner who wants to grow into photography without having to invest in a DSLR on Day 1.
Total control, from automatic to manual.
Basic Snapshot setting (green camera icon) gets it right about 85% of the time.
Highly customizable buttons and features.
Automatic scene settings usually superior to manual setup.
Very good in low light settings.
Raw + Jpg mode.
3 user defined settings to add to the built in automatic scene settings.
Very fast and easy one finger button to delete unwanted shots as they happen.
Video quality and sound recording rivals theatres when played back on high quality TV.
Jack for external video mic.
Continuous shots/Best shot option lets you get the best shot when the subject is moving
Exposure bracketing with manual overrides is great when the light isn't.
Very clear zoom at the digital end.
HDMI output.
Battery life.
In camera recharge via USB/Wall charger too.
Flash Hotshoe
Power settings for built-in flash.
Single button Macro mode and auto setting; focus is very accurate and easy to use. (Remember to turn it off to return to regular shooting!)
Automatic shutter cap (works better than P7000 this replaces).
Great manual. 286 pages long, so on pdf instead of printed.
Quiet video zoom.
Variable angle LCD is great to take pictures with the camera over your head.
Viewfinder with diopter correction.
Solid opening and closing doors for battery, mic, outputs.
Cons:
Not a true pocket camera. A bit bulky and heavy.
Only comes in basic black. Not very chic.
Strap is too thin for the weight and bulk. Get a wider aftermarket one.
Not for the beginner. Too many controls and options, although most can be ignored.
Factory settings need to be manually corrected to avoid yellow cast and mild contrast before taking first shot.
The manual is quite long and can be complex for a beginner.
Photo software is frustrating and not intuitive. Better to wait for deals on aftermarket programs. The few extra dollars will be worth it.
Exposure comp dial is too easy to turn; does't lock in place.
Uses proprietary Nikon batteries that are quite expensive.
January 13, 2012
Now Nikon has it right... the P7100
This camera is certainly well built and has the feel of a quality item. the lens is superb and produces good images. Even the telephoto zoom has been improved over the 7000 as it is smooth and has no "fast" spots making it easy to control.
I would suggest that the next iteration of this camera have more analog type controls, specifically an analog shutter speed dial.. This camera appears to have a longer focal length lens than the new Canon pro1 X which will make this Nikon the better choice for cameras in this class,
January 12, 2012
Great photos with a compact camera
I use the P 7100 in lieu of my D3 when carrying the larger camera would be inconveinient. Because I edit and print my images in Adobe Lightroom 3, the ability to shoot in camera raw is a great plus. I will not use a camera that doesn't have raw format capability.
January 12, 2012
really impressed
Received my P7100 yesterday. At first I thought the controls looked cluttered and complex but within 10 mins it was a breeze. Lay out is ergonomic and menu easy to navigate.
I just have to get used to pressing the flash button when required.
Picture quality seems superb. It is better than I expected..
Thumbs up - so far so good.

Great camera
I've owned several cameras in my life, Minolta, Canon, and Nikon. I love the P7100. Although recently purchased, I haven't used all of it's features but the ones I have used are fantastic. A great bang for the buck. Clarity is superb, colors are terrific. It's lightweight and easy to use. Love it. Thanks for a great camera, Nikon.
December 19, 2011
Simply the best choice!
I own a few other advanced compact digital cameras, but the Nikon CoolPix P7100 is far and away the best I have ever used. Photos are stunningly sharp, colors are accurate, metering is precise and the overall experience is such a pleasure! This camera feels solid and comfortable, and the LCD monitor is excellent. The AF is quick and accurate, and best of all, my "keeper rate" is higher than ever!
Do not hesitate; this is a camera you'll love!

At last a serious advanced Coolpix ...
I had the P7000 for 3 weeks, and although i like the image quality and controls, I admit it had some processing tweaks, but I saw that a corrected P7000 is coming, and that's the P7100 ...
Today I have the P7100 since about 90 days along the D3s and D200.
With the introduction of the P7100, I can say that Nikon have for the first time a serious advanced P&S. Everything runs so smoothly in the P7100 and the image quality is excellent .
I only wished that Nikon integrated a built in GPS and the 1080p video in the P7100 .... and it would be a complete cam for me ....

Great camera
This P7100 replaces the P7000 that I had for a year. And I am glad to see that all the bugs were fixed. It was time!
the P7100 is my only camera., it's not a backup so it goes everywhere, and often in the backcountry, so I like the size.
I like how easy it is to use. A major improvement comes from the external adjustement dials so one doesn't have to search through time consuming menus. And most importantly I like the fact that the lens cover finally opens completely!
Just like its predecessor the P7100 offers great image quality. I keep getting comments on the beautiful colors. It also has added features and special effect filters that are fun to use.
I like the quick AF response. No need to wait forever for the camera to find a focus. The RAW write time is good and certainly faster than before.
The long zoom is a bonus and is very good. I got very sharp photos zoomed at 200mm on moving subjects.
Performs well in low light and this is a feature I love. I like the ND filter that comes handy when there is a need to cut annoying highlights in some situations such as when photographing ocean waves.
I often use the camera for action shots and got good results,with sharp images on fairly fast moving subjects.
I can't comment on highly technical details like some people do, and I am not a photographer. All I can say is that I am very pleased with the picture quality and what I can do with this camera. It's possible to do incredible macros too.
I don't think it would be wise to compare the P7100 with a DSLR as it's not fair. But this camera can be operated completely manually if one wants to be creative. I use the manual controls most of the time. But it takes a while to get acquainted with all the possibilities offered by this camera. It's very easy to use though and a pleasure to operate.
I have already recommended to friends and will continue to do so!
October 11, 2011
What we wanted in the P7000
This camera makes a great travel and easy to carry camera. It is not a DSLR but it is the best carry camera I have had.
The response time to focus and lock is great, that was the only problem with the P7000 and now that is fixed. The picture quality is great.

Gran Equipo de Fotografia
Sin duda equipo con grandes capacidades y efectos dignas de una SLR (Reflex).
Lo malo es que el view finder no es electronico y el enfoque manual no tiene capacidad para modificar exposicion. Sin embargo, definitivamente si es un equipo recomendable para cualquier amante de la fotografia en serio.

Coolpix P7100 no paper manual
prior to buying I spent a lot of time comparing with Cannon but chose Nikon, for its good reputation on customer support
I love this camera and all its vast range of features, it produces a very good quality results, it is a great shame a printed manual is not included.
The manual is easily obtained on the internet but if printed off big and cumbersome, and no good for reading on aeroplanes and the likes.
Please go back to small compact printed manuals, so we can maximise the benefit of all these superb features
April 20, 2012
Lots of capability. Lacking a few features I'd like to have!
Camera takes great pictures in almost every mode from full auto to full manual. Lacks a few features I'd have liked.... GPS capability with GP1? Commander mode for flash? A little quicker recovery between shots?
All in all though, terrific for what it is... an advanced, compact, "point & shoot" type camera!
April 17, 2012
Very good
Very good cámera, I love it from the beginning. Highly recommended

good fit between a compact and an SLR
Just got this camera. It is what the salesman said it was;.a cross between an SLR and a compact. I like the small size and portability. the controls are easy enough to figure out, but I haven't mastered them all yet. It seems the only way to go back from autofocus to manual, and then back is to shut off the camera. There must be another way. The shutter seems to be quick, and the weight and feel of the camera is very intuitive.
I wanted to get the Nikon camera case, but it is not available, either on line or at the Nikon store.I find that strange that they would release the camera months before, and not even have a date when this important accessory in available. I would like to protect my investment.
I hate having to go back to my computer to read the manual, since they give the purchaser only a very small quick start written manual, and a cd for the reference manual.
February 25, 2012
Love the range of features in such a portable camera!
I bought this camera because as the mother of a toddler, I found it impossible to drag my DSLR's whenever we went anywhere like the zoo or to special events. I know others do it - just doesn't work out for me. But I hated that regular point and shoots can't shoot in manual mode. I like to have control over the settings and this allows me to do that. it's easy to adjust settings on the camera without digging through menus. I still have lots of features to explore on the camera which is why I'm only rating it "Good" for now.
But one thing I really love about this camera is that it's QUIET when you take pictures. I love to roam around NYC with the camera around my neck and take random shots without looking through the view finder. I've gotten some great street photos without drawing attention to the fact that I'm taking pics - I do it all the time with my DSLR's - but this little camera is even more handy as people pay you no mind!
January 13, 2012
good camera
One thing that would make it perfect is the tilting LCD. It is useless if we want to make self portrait with our baby.
That's why with bit extra money, I took DSLR D5100. Because I love NIkon. BUt for floating mass, I guess they will take canon G12 with rotate flip out LCD.

Coolpix P7100 - 720p frame rate
I forgot to mention in my previous review - the frame rate of 720p recording is approximately 24 frames per second - not 30 fps as stated in many online reviews, and in the PDF manual included on CD. Nikon included an errata sheet in the box with the camera. The PDF you can download online has the correct information. I was a little disappointed since 30 fps was one of the features I was shopping for. However, its not a deal breaker considering how much I like the P7100 as a still camera.
September 24, 2011
P7100 - Great camera, with some shortcomings
There's lots of good reviews on the web that describe the great features of this camera and the image quality - which I haven't tested yet. Therefore, I will just mention how I like the physical design and feel - the grip is great, I like the angles of the articulating screen (without having to flip it out to the left as on another brand's cameras), the dial movements are nice. It starts up quick and is responsive to commands. The shortcomings I've noticed so far in the first day out of the box are: the tripod thread is off-center, the optical viewfinder doesn't have any framing guidelines therefore you have to be concerned with parallax error. There's no printed manual, only a 260 page PDF. I don't normally use special effects, but as a personal preference, I would've liked to try using a Miniature effect, or (fake) Tilt-Shift which it does not have, but several lesser cameras do. The smallest aperture is f8, I would've preferred smaller for macro shots. All in all, I'm very pleased with this camera so far. It feels very well constructed.
September 23, 2011
Camera freezes
While I do enjoy the Coolpix P7100, it does have a tendency to lock up and refuse to restart. Techical support told me to remove the battery and reinsert it and then turn it on. Not good. Support then told me to send it out for service. Hello? I haven't even taken a half dozen pictures with it.
I all fairness however, after leaving the battery out of the camera over night it did turn back on with an "unknown error"! on the screen. I turned it off and then back on again and it is now working. But I must say that I am just waiting for the next freeze.
February 21, 2012
Slower response than I would have liked.
I purchased the P7100 as a travel camera in hopes that the shutter response time would be faster than my other compacts or point and shoot cameras. I knew it would not be anything close to my D7000. I am disappointed in the response time and feel that other point and shoots for quite a bit less money are essentially the equivalent of this new P7100. If you are shooting anything that is moving or will move, forget this camera. I have since returned the camera because of the slow performance. I am a committed Nikon photographer with a D7000, F5 and many lenses. Nikon needs to do a better job with a $500 camera.
January 12, 2012
not with CCD sensor
The last P7000 got the red dot design I think this will get it too in my opinion this segment should now upgrade to CMOS sensor with bigger size 1/1.7 still small the image sill have a lot off noise it better to flow lica and fuji in its philosophy and gi the compact digital camera bigger sensor I think the next G13 will have some more advance features Vs. the P7100 good luck

I have used my SB800 as a flash and as a commander on the P7100.The P7100 does NOT support a very few features of the Nikon CLS, most notably AutoFP (high speed sync above standard shutter speeds).
I have very easily used my SB400, SB600, and SB800 with great effect.
Last note, except for times when you need the extra "kick" of the SB600 or SB800, I would recommend the SB400 because it balances nicely on the camera.

Differences... the P7000 had mediocre operational speed and sometimes seemed to have confusing on-screen menus. It was a camera that I looked at seriously, but on which I passed. On the other hand, the P7100 has both highly improved operational speed compared to the P7000, the very useful command dial on the front of the camera, and what sold me was the flip-out LCD screen on the rear. There are other small improvements as well, but this serious/pro level compact has not only lived up to expectations, but as an owner can say that it has surpassed them as well. The bokeh is far better than expected.The only shortfall at this point is the apparent shortage of the EN-EL14 Rechargeable Li-ion batteries, and one can only hope that this is just a temporary situation.

Answer:
The P7000 is not a speed demon of a camera and whilst neither is the P7100 (I wish Nikon had used the Expeed 3 processor) it is slightly faster than the P7000. Other differeences are the front dial which works really well and the articulated screen at the back. It also has HDR in camera capability and also you can create panaramas. The P7100 gets rid of most the problems that the P7000 had and is now as good as the Canon G12 (which the P7000, should have been). It isn't a bad camera and has many good points over cameras like the V1 (ergonomically and the ability to mount a normal flash) but the speed of the 1 series cameras put the P7100 to shame.Answer:

If I mount P7100 on extension pole to photograph roofs, will wireless remote ML-L3 trigger the shutter?
Wanted to use self timer to do this but I beleive (don't know for sure) shutter release button has to be pressed BEFORE self timer activates. This sets focal length with camera in hand, not when camera is lifted up to capture roof image.

Just picked up a P7100. I was very excited about the P7100's raw mode capabilities. However, when shooting in raw (NRW) mode, it takes 4 or 5 seconds before the camera is ready to take another picture. I'm shooting in "raw only" mode. Is there something wrong with my camera or is 4 seconds per picture within specs for this model?

Answer:
I shoot only in NRW and have not noticed any delay in writing images from buffer to the memory card. I am also using a memory card that is rated for 45 MB/s and can hold down the shutter release for a minute or more without pause.Try a card that is rated for at least 30 MB/s and you will notice a huge speed increase.

Answer:
As with any other new format it takes time for software developers to get a patch out that will support the new file format.Just be glad that Photoshop 5 is still the latest version out there. When I upgraded last year to the d7000, they phased out support for the new RAW format for the older Adobe software and I had to upgrade to Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 - that was an addtional $400 I wasn't planning to spend.
As long as you have the current version of the software, the developer should send out a patch in the next 60-90 days.

Answer:
The "problem" is the software, you will have to get in touch with the relevant software makers for updates or use View NX or Capture NX2 which will handle the RAW files.

Answer:
The P7100, has an 28-200mm zoom lens (x7.1). It is very much the top of the line compact/bridge camera that Nikon make. The advantage of it is that it is ergonomically great, with lots of dials and controls on the camera. It is aimed at more experienced users, who already have a DSLR.Answer:
No interchangeable lenses, only DSLR's, Nikon 1 and Nikon film cameras have a choice of lenses.
Hi, I am a digital marketing consultant who is transitioning from just building websites toward doing more hands-on marketing for clients (including photography and videos). I am shopping for my first high-end point and shoot, so I am considering the Canon G20 and Nikon P7100. I am leaning toward the P7100 because of the external microphone jack. (I sometimes need to interview people, and the built-in microphone on my $100 Flip camera is really bad at capturing the interviewee and really good at getting the background noise...)
I'd like to employ some technique to some of my video shots, including a transition from blurred to focused scene intros. So my question for you is: In video mode, can I use the P7100's manual focus to transition from blur to focus?

Answer:
For manual focus and what you are doing, I recommend a cannon camcorder or a DSLR; most cannon camcorders have manual focus. If you want a mic input, then get the cannon T2I, 60D, 7D or the Nikon D5100/ D7000. If you really want this camera, a trick I use to get a rack focus effect on a point and shoot is to hold my hand about an inch in front of the lens, let the auto focus focus on my hand, then I remove my hand. The camera automatically focuses on the main object, sometimes slowly.Bottom Line: If you want to do more serious photography, I would get a DSLR. Don't waste your time with advanced digitalis.
