Nikon B700 Coolpix Digital Compact Camera - Black

Product Information

In terms of low light sensitivity, this Nikon Coolpix B700’s performance is more modest, generating rather soft, noise heavy results in the eyes of those schooled in more heavy duty devices, even when the camera is switched to dedicated night time shooting mode. Maximum selectable ISO sensitivity is ISO3200 so the camera isn’t exactly stretching itself when it comes to low light usage. Unsurprisingly image noise/grain starts to creep in above ISO800, but even at ISO3200, while results are softer, we would class them as acceptably so.

Weighing 20 oz. (565g), the 5.0 x 3.4 x 4.2 in. (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 menus are clearly laid out, with each section getting its own main section logo, starting with the photo options, then the video options, etc. This makes it easy to change and find settings, however, the clarity could probably be improved if the menu sections were colour coded, rather than just being the same colour as each other.

The screen is a 3 inch LCD panel with resolution of 921k dots. It’s the same panel as on the B500 and they both provide a bright detailed image that’s viewable from a wide angle. The difference is the mounting. While the B500 has an articulated hinge at the bottom allowing you to flip it up and down, the COOLPIX B700’s screen has a hinge at the side with the screen mounted on a rotating pin. This allows you to turn it in any direction – facing forward for selfies, orientated for portrait format shooting, and folded in on itself for protection.
