    5 Stars Easy to use and good results 22/10/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages ease of use; good on batteries; excellent pix; clear screen

    Disadvantages Disadvantages turns itself off too quickly (to save battery power)

    We have had our Nikon Coolpix 700 for over a year. In that time we have taken hundreds and hundreds of photos. In the previous few years of using old-fashioned cameras, we had taken only 48 pictures! So the first advantage of a digital camera is that you do use it. We had heard that one of the drawbacks of digital cameras is that they eat batteries. We made sure that the Coolpix 700 used ordinary batteries rather than specialist camera batteries. Camera batteries are much more expensive and harder to get hold of on a day out when your batteries run out. This uses simple AA batteries that can ... more

    5 Stars Truly outstanding 28/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Superb picture quality and colour

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Eats batteries

    When I decided I wanted to buy a digital camera, I was lucky enough to have an enthusiastic sales person to help me, because within the £400 price range there is a lot of rubbish. The Nikon Coolpix 700, however, has the quality of a camera twice its price. Although it doesn't have a zoom lens, the 2.1 megapixel images are so sharp you can crop your images with a good photo editor and the pictures remain beautifully clear. Its easy to use, and if you can get the camera shop to throw in a free cardport, image downloading is very quick (otherwise a bit slow through the serial port). The LCD ... more

    5 Stars Coolpix every time 25/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages excellent snaps, strong flash, fantastic build quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive and a bit dull looks wise

    For Cool pictures every time you should go out and buy yourself the Nikon Coolpix P5000. It may be expensive at £239, but what you get for your chas is a digital camera packed with as many features as you could possibly dream up. It doesn't look like the nicest camera out there and it certainly isn't one you can slide into your top pocket but what do you expect from what I think is a semi-pro piece of digital hardware. Picture resolution is 10 million pixels and this captures every moment perfectly. I have never seen such detail, such sharpness from a digital camera before. To add to the ... more

    5 Stars Fantastic results 06/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent quality photos, easy to use, clear lcd screen.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Transfer to PC takes too long

    Having tried digital photography with a top of the range Ricoh, I was not very impressed. However when it broke just before Christmas we looked around for a replacement. We eventually chose the NIKON COOLPIX 700 and have been delighted with the results. The images are sharp, colours true and no pixelating when zooming in on the images. I was using my SLR for important pictures due to the quality of the old camera but have stopped using it since the Nikon. We bought the camera from a local computer retailer, it came bundled with re-chargable batteries, a charger and a flash card. The card holds ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stylish elegance with high resolution performance !

    What happens when you get stylish elegance with high resolution performance and that too from one of the leading manufactures of the best in cameras around the world?

    4 Stars Good Camera 23/09/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good quality digital pics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Had to recharge batteries often

    I was lucky enough to be able to use the Nikon Coolpix 700 to take pictures with at work. We had to use these photos to help show on-site progress and problems. The quality of the images were excellent, especially when used in conjunction with a decent paint program (such as Paint Shop Pro) to enhance and "errors" when the photo was taken (such as dark lighting, or overexposure). The flash card system meant that many pictures could be taken and stored before the need to download the images to computer. This meant a limitation on the number of photos taken were not an issue (often numerous ... more

    4 Stars Nikon CoolPix 700 17/09/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, brifght LCD easy controls

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Transfer speed very slow

    I was looking around for a new digital camera which had to be easy to use and produce results that could be printed out on the computer printer. I happened to see this camera in a shop and was given the chance to try before I brought it. The name Nikion should be all you really need to know when it comes to image quality and this is one camera that does not diapoint, in it high res settings the results are very good. The controls and the LCD screen are also very easy to use and set up. There are only two things that I don't like about the camera one is the speed of transfer from the camera to ... more
