Nikon Coolpix P7800 review: Competitive price, competitive performance

As the follow up to last year’s high-grade compact for enthusiasts,the new P7800 is an intriguing addition to the range. While it adopts much of the same specification as the earlier P7700, including the 1/1.7-inch type 12-Mpix sensor, 28-200mm zoom, part-alloy body and manual controls, it’s the first of its type from Nikon to feature an electronic viewfinder. Read on to see how it performed our labs.
