It was with some trepidation that I approached this review of the Nikon P7100. While there was much to like in the previous model including its good image quality and excellent built-in zoom lens, it was a slow and frustrating camera to use. When you...

Why you’d buy the P7100: multiple external control points; pocketable.Why you wouldn’t: you want Full HD; the 7.1x zoom range is not enough for you.Having waded through a mountain of DSLRs, mirrorless models and piles of boring...

While it's too large to fit inside a pocket, the P7100 provides all of the functionality and quality that you could need. It's a shame that its performance is not class beating, otherwise it would easily make a great companion to an SLR or...
