• Effective pixel count of 10.1 million pixels and a 7.1x optical zoom
  An effective pixel count of 10.1 million pixels and a 7.1x optical zoom NIKKOR lens with a zoom range beginning at the wide-angle 28mm focal length (equivalent with 35mm format)
  
  A large CCD image sensor, high-performance NIKKOR lens and new image-processing engine EXPEED C2 that achieves greater image quality and faster image processing, have been adopted for rendering capability that enables capture of photographic works of art.
• Large 1/1.7-inch RGB CCD image sensor
  Individual pixels with greater pitch enable richer tonal expression and a broader dynamic range for excellent image quality, even with shooting at high sensitivities.
• NIKKOR lens
  A lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function and two ED lens elements that effectively suppress chromatic aberration have been adopted for the 7.1x optical zoom NIKKOR lens that covers a wide range of focal lengths from the wide-angle 28mm to telephoto 200mm (equivalent with 35mm format). These features of the NIKKOR lens enable capture of sharp, high-resolution images.
• Built-in ND filter
  The P7000 is the first COOLPIX camera to be equipped with a built-in neutral density (ND) filter that reduces the amount of light that passes through the lens, enabling a three-stop decrease in shutter speed. This allows you to apply slower shutter speeds when shooting in bright surroundings.
• 6-blade iris diaphragm
• Specify zoom focal length and register camera settings
  * Zoom memory – This 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.
  
  * User setting modes – Up to three combinations of settings specified by the user can be registered by the camera. Simply rotate the mode dial to apply registered settings and achieve the intended results quickly.
• A variety of functions that enable superior rendering with shooting at high sensitivities in dark surroundings
  * Low noise night mode – The camera automatically detects surrounding brightness and controls noise while applying a higher ISO sensitivity setting.
  
  * Noise reduction filter – The level of noise reduction processing performed can be adjusted according to shooting intent.
  
  * Long exposure NR – Reduces the noise that occurs with shooting in dark surroundings at slow shutter speeds.
• High-speed response that ensures certain capture of fleeting scenes
  Preserve precious photos with instant capture of sudden movements or fleeting expressions. A power-up time of approximately 0.95 seconds and a shooting time lag of approximately 0.23 seconds ensure quick response to sudden photo opportunities.
• Tone level information display for checking exposure
  The new tone level information function not only allows users to verify exposure with a histogram (graph showing brightness distribution), but also allows them to choose the desired tone (brightness) from nine levels. *A histogram is a graph that shows brightness distribution. The horizontal axis shows the number of pixels and the vertical axis shows luminosity.
• Greater support for RAW files, making them even easier to use
  Support for Nikon’s exclusive RAW (NRW) format has been extended to continuous shooting and functions including Active D-Lighting. *ViewNX 2 (Ver. 0.0) is required to open NRW files on a computer. The application or updates can be downloaded free from Nikon’s website (support page).
• Recording of HD movies with stereo sound
• 3-inch, approximately 921k-dot TFT LCD monitor with wide viewing angle and 100% reproduction of the sRGB color space
• Superior operation that is easily mastered
  Adoption of a quick menu dial and exposure compensation dial makes applying camera settings faster and smoother by reducing the number of menu layers. In addition, the superior design with a focus on operation offers a natural and comfortable grip perfectly suited to shooting.
• Other features
  * 4 exposure modes: [P], [S], [A], [M]
  * Three auto bracketing functions Exposure bracketing (Tv and Sv), White balance bracketing for automatic continuous shooting at specified increments for more precise expression
  * Macro photography with shooting as close as 2 cm (0.8 in.) to the lens
  * Virtual horizon display for visual confirmation that the camera is horizontally and vertically level
  * COOLPIX Picture Control options that can be selected according to the scene or your intent prior to shooting
  * Support for a variety of optional accessories, including a wide-angle converter and external Speedlights
