Nikon Coolpix S7000 Review
Introduction
The Nikon S7000 was introduced at the same
time as a range of other new Nikon cameras in early February 2015. It
features a back-illuminated 20 million pixel CMOS sensor and a 20x
optical zoom which gives you an equivalent angle of view of 25-500mm in
35mm terms. There’s also full HD video recording, as well as inbuilt
Wi-Fi and NFC support for connecting the camera to your smartphone or
tablet. Other specifications include an EXPEED C2 processor, the ability
to create panoramas, a range of scene modes, a three-inch 460k dot
screen and the ability to charge the battery via a USB port. The Nikon
Coolpix S7000 costs £199.99 / $279.99 and is available in black, white,
pink or gold.
Ease of Use
The Nikon Coolpix S7000 is impressively slim for a camera which features a 20x optical zoom and you should find it slips into your pocket very easily. There’s nothing hugely revolutionary about the design of the camera, with Nikon going pretty much for a tried and tested button layout and construction.There’s no finger grip on the front of the camera, but where your thumb sits at the back, it is slightly indented so the camera still feels pretty secure in your hand.
On top of the Nikon Coolpix S7000, you’ll find a on/off button, the shutter release and a mode dial. This dial allows you to switch between the various exposure modes the camera offers and saves you from having to delve into menu system. Here you’ll find automatic mode, scene modes, effects mode, a video clips mode and a couple of other specific modes, such as Smart Portrait and Backlighting.
