The P7800 offers you multiple ways to compose your shots. Use its vari-angle monitor to shoot from any angle or capture self-portraits. This large 7.62cm (3") screen featuring Clear Color Display and RGBW technology promises true colour rendition in all lighting conditions. For more precise framing, take advantage of the built-in high-definition viewfinder.
The P7800’s fast NIKKOR lens delivers spectacular photos and videos. This 7.1X optical zoom lens features a maximum aperture of f/2-4 for high performance in all lighting conditions. Its large aperture effectively reduces camera shake and noise, even at its maximum focal length (200mm in 35mm [135] format equivalent). Crafted with precision using ED glass elements, the lens also provides you with enhanced clarity.
The P7800’s controls have been designed to follow the natural movement of the fingers. With dials and a quick menu button that can be easily operated with your right hand, you’ll always be ready to capture the moment.
