Nikon B700 Coolpix Digital Compact Camera - Black

Product Information

On the right side of the COOLPIX B700’s body mini HDMI and a combined USB / AV out port are located behind a soft plastic flap. Nikon provides a USB cable in the box which can be used to charge the camera from a computer as well as for transferring photos and video. The COOLPIX B700 offers a choice of six AF area modes, plus manual focus. Face priority works well when people are within a few metres of the camera in good light. If there are no faces in the frame it defaults to the nine-area AF system which it uses to focus on the subject closest to the camera. Alternatively you can manually select the focus area from one of 99 positions using the multi-selector to move the frame around a 9×11 grid, or set a central focus point. There are three manual modes, spot, normal and Wide, but in reality this is a single mode with options for the AF area size. All the same the ability to change both the size and position of the AF area is a useful thing to be be able to do and in certain situations can greatly increase your chances of getting sharp snaps.

Product Images

If you're looking for a lot of optical zoom, in an ultra-zoom bridge camera, designed to "Do-it-all", then the Nikon Coolpix B700 does a good job of providing almost everything you could possibly want, including 4K video recording, a 60x optical zoom lens, a vari-angle 3inch screen, a built-in electronic viewfinder, built-in Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth, manual controls, raw shooting, and more. Where the camera suffers is in image quality, with some images appearing soft. The B500’s flash has a quoted range of 6.9 metres, which might suggest they’re the same, but the B700’s flash is physically bigger and I wouldn’t mind betting that the B500’s flash specification is quoted at a higher ISO rating. Either way, the flash is useful for close subjects and fill-in illumination, but won’t be of much use to you with the lens zoomed in much beyond a portrait focal length of around 80-100mm equivalent.
