Reviewers say the Nikon Coolpix P7100 digital camera is greatly improved over its predecessor, the Nikon Coolpix P7000. Nikon rectified many of the issues that came to light with the P7000, most notably the camera's slow speed. The Nikon Coolpix P7100 is much faster and thus much easier to use. The 10.1-megapixel sensor is matched with a 7.1x zoom lens, 3-inch LCD display and full manual controls. The camera only shoots 720p video, however, not full 1080p HD.
Image quality is very good overall, although some reviewers detect a little too much noise reduction for their tastes, which degrades image quality. The zoom lens is fast and sharp, and reviewers are unanimous in their praise for the Nikon's intuitive manual controls. However, the Nikon Coolpix P7100 is bulky compared to other compact digital cameras. If you can afford to spend a bit more, the Canon PowerShot G1 X (*Est. $750) gets the best reviews in this category.
Nikon's Coolpix P7100 is a vast improvement over its predecessor, but it still has a few issues. Image quality isn't quite up to snuff, though its shooting speed is impressive. For better image quality, you'll have to spend about double for the Canon PowerShot G1 X (*Est. $750). A number of photography sites thoroughly review the Nikon Coolpix P7100, including DPReview.com, Imaging-Resource.com and PhotographyBlog.com.
