Nikon - COOLPIX B700 20.2-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

I particularly like three things about the Nikon B700: the long zoom which brings birds and other wildlife in close; the seamless way photos get tagged with location data when they are transferred to a smartphone; and the relatively small size of the camera. Shortcomings: you will need a tripod for stabilizing the camera when shooting at its longest zoom focal length, and because the lens' widest aperture is limited in "Auto" shooting mode the camera tends to select very slow shutter speeds when taking indoor shots. Overall, lots of features packed into a relatively light and easily held package, and Nikon quality too.

This Nikon B 700 is fun and takes great photos. Zoom is good and I like not having to change the lense. The weight is good. I have taken over 3000 photos so far. The wi-fi works but I don’t use it enough to remember how to use it. I can get good close ups and distant photos when I zoom. You have to get use to when it is zoomed out all the way because you shake some so usually I just take several photos until I get one right but I am getting better.

I was looking for a super zoom point and shoot camera for wildlife photos and vacations. I was tired of lugging my Canon SLR and additional lenses on hikes, and never took it in my kayak. The 60x optical zoom is great, but you need to be very steady at longer zoom distances. Photos came out great, fabulous close ups of bear in Shenandoah National Park, and loon on Squam Lake in NH. Nikon has a larger zoom at 83x, but that camera was much larger, bulkier and heavier. The B700 was just what I was looking for.

This is my third digital camera. I am delighted with it so far. It does so much, it will take weeks of reading and testing to learn about it, but in the mean time "Auto" works fine. Recent shots of the moon were dramatic with full zoom. My only regret is that it takes a special battery. I was used to carrying spare AAs. NIkon hit a home run with this one.

Loved the coolpix s9100. But this is a step toward DSLR type control including view finder, articulated LCD and RAW output. Fits in my hands and takes great bird shots without fussing with different lenses. Now have to learn how to use all the relevant features.

This camera has the best of both worlds, it has a clear picture and a great zoom ability without going to the next level of camera. With the Nikon app having the pictures automatically download to your phone is a great feature

Very good even if you just use the automatics settings. Personalizing the settings is also a great option and learning tool.

I bought this for my 14 year old son who is really into photography and wanted a much longer zoom than our 300mm D-SLR lens could offer. The photo quality is a bit inferior to a D-SLR (think excellent iPhone quality) but the zoom capability is great and he has had a lot of fun playing around with the features and loves not carrying around different lenses. If you’re looking for a good all-around camera for “fun” and social media, this is great. If you’re nit-picky about image sensor size and quality when zoomed in 800% in Photoshop or Lightroom, get a D-SLR kit.
