The Nikon Coolpix P7100 is a high-grade compact camera with a 1/1.7 type CCD and a resolution of 10.1 megapixels.

The zoom memory function allows you to easily specify a preset focal length with zoom photography. As zoom can immediately be switched from a wide-angle position to a specified telephoto focal length, capturing images at the intended angle of view is fast and easy, Nikon says. High-definition movie capture with AE/AF lock, exposure compensation and user-selectable white balance setting is also on offer.

An Easy Panorama mode, a range of special effects, a Smile Timer Continuous mode and Full HD video capture round off the features list.
