Nikon Coolpix P7700 Digital Camera Review

Image Quality

Image quality is a complex equation incorporating many factors. Some cameras get some of these factors right, others fail in those areas and excel in different ones. We haven't found a camera yet that gets everything right. But the P7700 does a lot of things very well. Sharpness is very good, and more importantly it achieves its results here without resorting to excessive software-based JPEG sharpening. Color accuracy is historically good, distortions are minimal, and noise and dynamic range performance are among the best in the class. Of course, there are still areas to improve: automatic white balance is a mess, and video performance has a long way to go.
