The main release of the day is the new P7800 prosumer compact camera, an updated version of last year’s P7700. For the most part, you’re looking at the same camera as its predecessor. Both sport the same 1/1.7-inch 12.2MP BSI CMOS sensor, 28-200mm (35mm equivalent) f/2-4 lens and 3-inch 921k-dot articulating LCD.
Where the P7800 stands out — and justifies a $50 price hike from the previous model — is the addition of an 921k-dot electronic view finder.

“This addition to the Advanced Performance COOLPIX series affirms Nikon’s commitment to integrating our storied optical legacy into powerful yet compact cameras,” said Vice President of Marketing, Planning and Customer Experience, Bo Kajiwara in the press release. “The new COOLPIX P7800 will allow photographers of every level to explore their photographic potential while capturing top-class images and Full HD video.”
Like the P7700 before it, some will say that Nikon missed an opportunity by neglecting to put a 1-inch sensor inside, but that’s not for us to decide. The P7800 will make its official debut later this month for $550.
