Priced £499.99, features include a top equivalent ISO sensitivity of 6400, raw-format shooting, full HD video and a maximum burst rate of eight frames per second.
Nikon UK Consumer Products manager James Loader claimed: ‘The new lens has a broad 28-200mm focal range and fast f/2.0-4.0 aperture – working with the highly sensitive 1/1.7in CMOS sensor to deliver clear, detailed images in any light.
‘Meanwhile, the new vari-angle LCD monitor gives a unique perspective on your shot, whether you are shooting stills or video.’
Wireless image transfer is possible using Eye-Fi X2 cards, or later.
The Coolpix P7700 is due out in the UK on 27 September.
