Nikon B700 Coolpix Digital Compact Camera - Black

Product Information

At the other end of the range the COOLPIX B700’s 24mm wide angle is wide enough to take in landscapes and will also be good for large group photos and interiors. It’s not quite as wide as the 22.5mm super-wide angle on the COOLPIX B500, but it goes a lot further at the other end. Here’s a comparison showing the 900mm equivalent on the COOLPIX B500 alongside the 1440mm equivalent of the B700 taken from the same spot. What is impressive, however, is the amount of battery life we get from a full charge of its lithium ion cell. Here this betters the performance of an average compact system camera and almost matches a consumer grade DSLR, with up to 420 shots available (or provides enough capacity for an hour and a half of video). The battery slots into the base of the camera, next to a vacant slot for an SD card; adjacent to this, centrally placed, is a screw thread for a tripod. In short then, the B700 would seem an able candidate for anyone needing that bigger/longer lens reach without spending an absolute fortune – or having to engage in an upward learning curve if trading up from a snapshot camera or smartphone. cm (3-in.) diagonal, Approx. 921k-dot (RGBW), wide viewing angle TFT LCD with anti-reflection coating and 6-level brightness adjustment, vari-angle TFT LCD The B500’s flash has a quoted range of 6.9 metres, which might suggest they’re the same, but the B700’s flash is physically bigger and I wouldn’t mind betting that the B500’s flash specification is quoted at a higher ISO rating. Either way, the flash is useful for close subjects and fill-in illumination, but won’t be of much use to you with the lens zoomed in much beyond a portrait focal length of around 80-100mm equivalent. This camera's built in NFC function can only be used with smart devices running on the Android™ operating system version 4.0 or later. The Nikon SnapBridge application must be installed on the device before it can be used with this camera.

The 60x optical zoom lens is equivalent to 24mm wide-angle zooming all the way to 1440mm at the telephoto end, in 35mm equivalent terms. This gives an impressive amount of reach, and the camera’s optical image stabilisation, which Nikon calls Vibration Reduction (VR), helps keep the image steady when shooting under low light or when using a lot of zoom. The lens can focus on subjects 1cm away from the front of the lens, giving the camera impressive macro capabilities. The lens features an f/3.3 aperture that closes to f/6.5 when the full optical zoom is used.

(125.0 x 85.0 x 106.5 mm) Nikon B700 is not a small camera, but it features a sizable handgrip and relatively large-diameter lens that should make for a comfortable, secure grip. The top of the camera features a PASM mode dial, function button, shutter release, and zoom lever. The B700 also has a pop-up built-in flash and stereo mic on top. When using auto ISO, the flash has a range of up to 24 feet at the wide end of the lens and 13 feet at the 1440mm equivalent focal length. The COOLPIX B700’s lens has a 60x optical range starting at 24mm and extending to 1440mm in 35 equivalent numbers. If you want to see what that looks like practice take a look at the two images below which show the coverage at either end of the range.

Still images: JPEG, RAW (NRW) (Nikon’s own format), Movies: MP4 (Video: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, Audio: AAC stereo) The COOLPIX B700 offers a choice of six AF area modes, plus manual focus. Face priority works well when people are within a few metres of the camera in good light. If there are no faces in the frame it defaults to the nine-area AF system which it uses to focus on the subject closest to the camera. Alternatively you can manually select the focus area from one of 99 positions using the multi-selector to move the frame around a 9×11 grid, or set a central focus point. There are three manual modes, spot, normal and Wide, but in reality this is a single mode with options for the AF area size. All the same the ability to change both the size and position of the AF area is a useful thing to be be able to do and in certain situations can greatly increase your chances of getting sharp snaps.Shoot impressively smooth movies in 4K Ultra High Definition (3840x2160/30p) – ensuring that your recordings are state-of-the-art and future-proof as 4K UHD becomes standard – with great sound quality from the zoom microphone, which adjusts directivity along with zoom operation.
