- General
- Brand: Nikon
- Model Number: 26510
- Product Name: COOLPIX B700 20.2-Megapixel Digital Camera
- Color: Black
- Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 5184 x 3888 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, MP4, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: All modes: from 1/4000 sec. to 1 sec.; ISO 100 and M mode: from 1/4000 sec. to 15 sec.; for Star trails mode in Multiple Exposure Lighten Scene Mode and f/7.6 (wide-angle position): 25 sec. (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds
- Shooting Modes: Backlighting, beach, close up, dusk/dawn, easy panorama, fireworks show, food, multiple exposure lighten, night landscape, night portrait, party/indoor, pet portrait, portrait, scene auto selector, snow, sports, sunset, superlapse movie (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- Panorama Mode: true
- White Balance Modes: Auto, cloudy, daylight, flash, fluorescent, incandescent, preset (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 20.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- In-Lens Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)
- Flash
- Flash Modes: Automatic (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
- Integrated Flash: true
- Display
- Display Type: TFT-LCD
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Screen Resolution: 921,000 dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
- Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- HDR Mode: false (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
- Slow Motion Recording: false
- HD Movie Mode Focus: Automatic
- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)

A: You can't simply rate the battery on hours or number of photos. The number of times you turn it on and off, zoom, and view your photos all use battery life. I can tell you that I used mine on a trip to the Amazon and Galapagos where I took over 2300 Photos and several videos. I had the camera on for a couple hours a day and took 150 to 300 photos each day with zooming in or out on each one. I only had to replace the battery once in the field. I did have the opportunity to partially charge the battery in the middle of the day most of the time. I would always recommend a spare battery. I found two batteries and charger on Amazon for about $15.00.
Q: What is the battery life like?
A: I shot over 700 photos yesterday and this is still going strong. I have it set for shutting off after one minute and I'm thinking that makes the difference. I had a second battery with me just in case, but didn't need it. Pretty awesome, I'd say :)
A: The Nikon COOLPIX B700 digital camera has an EVF Auto Toggle switch that can be turned on and off in the Setting Menu. Turning it to the "Off" setting will let you bring your face close to the viewfinder without triggering the EVF. Placing the setting back to "On" will allow the eye sensor to respond to your close proximity and trigger the camera to switch from the monitor to the viewfinder.
A: The Nikon COOLPIX B700 digital camera comes with everything you need to enjoy using your Nikon camera right away. In the box with the camera will be a EN-EL23 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, an EH-73P Charging AC Adapter, a UC-E21 USB Cable, an LC-CP29 Lens Cap and a AN-CP21 Strap.
Q: It says to buy two memory cards...one is ultra, and one is extreme...don't I just need one?
A: The terms "Ultra" and "Extreme" are used by memory card vendors to distinguish the different series of their card products. When purchasing memory cards it is more important to understand the details below than the terms Ultra and Extreme. The Nikon B700 camera supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards. These terms or labels are defined in the industry-standard SD memory card specification documents. SD (Secure Digital) cards can store up to 2GB of data, SDHC (SD High Capacity) cards can store from 2GB to 32GB of data, and SDXC (SD Extended Capacity) can store 32GB up to 2TB of data. The larger the capacity, the more images can be stored on a single card. However, if the camera is set to take pictures at its highest resolution, the number of pictures that can be stored on a single card will be smaller than when the camera is set to take lower resolution pictures. For use in the B700 the SD card should have a speed class rating of 6 or above. The speed class is noted on the typical SD card with a symbol in the shape of a "C" with a number inside the letter. Class 10 cards are about the fastest cards available today. When purchasing memory cards for this camera, larger capacity SDHC and SDXC cards each with a Class 10 speed rating are the most cost effective for storing images. Having an additional card available when the card in the camera is full is always a good idea.
A: I chose the B700 for several reasons: 1. The B700 is 20mp instead of 16mp for the P900, so that's a plus. 2. The B700 can shoot in RAW, which gives you better "raw" pictures. That will really help the quality of the output (prints) 3. The P900 is 83x zoom, while the B700 is 'only' 60x, but both are incredibly long, so it didn't matter to me. 4. The B700 shoots 4k video which I like.
Q: in the macro mode and a closeup of .4 to inf what zoom are you able to achieve.
A: When the B700 is set to Macro focusing it is at the wide end of the camera's zoom range. It will not macro focus to 0.4 inches past that.
Q: is there a closeup lens adapter for the b700
A: The COOLPIX B700 - when placed in the camera's Macro Mode - has a close-up range or 0.4 inches to infinity. It does not require, nor does it have available, a close-up lens adapter.
