Packed with features including a large 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor, a fast maximum aperture f/2.0 lens and new electronic viewfinder, the P7800 captures images and Full-HD (1080p) video with precision, even in difficult low-light shooting scenarios.
“This addition to the Advanced Performance COOLPIX series affirms Nikon’s commitment to integrating our renowned optical technology into powerful yet compact cameras,” said Gregory Flasch, National Advertising and Communications Manager at Nikon Canada.” The COOLPIX P7800 will allow photographers of every level to explore their photographic potential while capturing top-class images and Full-HD videos.”
Elite Performance and Optics
The COOLPIX P7800 sports a large 1/1.7-inch 12.2-megapixel backside-illuminated CMOS sensor and a versatile 7.1x zoom range (28-200mm equivalent). This combination ensures the capture of stunning images and Full-HD (1080p) video in a variety of difficult shooting environments. Whether shooting portraits, landscapes or documenting a family vacation, the P7800 is the ideal compact camera for any occasion. Low-light performance is bolstered by a blazing fast f/2.0-4.0 glass lens that lets in more light, allowing users to shoot with faster shutter speeds, and providing sharper results, even without the flash. Additionally, built-in lens-shift Vibration Reduction (VR) helps create consistently steady and clear shots when shooting handheld, even while moving. For moments when speed is of the essence, the COOLPIX P7800 also features extremely fast continuous shooting at eight frames-per-second (fps) for up to six shots, enabling users to be ready for every memorable, fleeting moment.
The COOLPIX P7800 captures crisp Full-HD (1080p) videos with stereo sound. While recording, the camera allows effortless optical zoom and presents several in-camera special effects as well as manual controls.
Controlled Precision for Every User
The Nikon COOLPIX P7800 presents a portable, practical and powerful compact camera option for casual or advanced shooters looking to capture photos with precision and confidence. From capturing a fast-moving soccer match to documenting an exotic vacation, a variety of useful scene and shooting modes are at users disposal to custom tailor the camera’s settings to fit their needs. An intuitive menu and external control system make it easy to navigate and control with ease.
For more advanced users who seek the ultimate in creative freedom, the COOLPIX P7800 offers complete creative controls that afford any photographer the ability to customize each shot. The P7800 is equipped with full manual controls (P,S,A,M) and the ability to capture RAW-format files, enabling users to capture and edit uncompressed images. Styled in a classic design with external analogue controls and mode dials for convenient access, this compact camera provides the uncompromising control that enthusiasts and professionals covet, clearing the way for the capture of beautiful images and Full-HD (1080p) video. Like other Advanced Performance COOLPIX offerings, the P7800 is compatible with many Nikon accessories, including Speedlights and external GPS units.
Capture and Share with Ease
Framing unique and accurate shots is simplified with the addition of a new high-resolution eye-level electronic viewfinder (EVF) that makes shooting, even in bright sunlight, enjoyable and easy. More creative composition perspectives are possible with the use of a versatile high-resolution 3-inch Vari-Angle LCD screen that can help frame anything from dynamic overhead shots to low point-of-view macro photos as well as great candid photos of kids and pets.
When using the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter*, users can easily shoot and share via Wi-Fi® to compatible smartphones or tablets. When paired with the free downloadable Wireless Mobile Utility application*, the WU-1a enables the seamless transfer of images and videos for easy sharing and viewing with friends and family.
