First of all: A year ago I had my daughter 15 years for a longer stay abroad (10 months) the previous model, bought the P7700. Am thrilled quality of their pictures made. That is also of normal users here tack-sharp images are produced. Compare 1100 could compare pictures of Canon SLR, - clearly superior in photo and video. For me, I have as an ambitious amateur photographer now gained the P7800, as I have done a very good compromise for me besides the heavy SLR equipment. Wanted a compact camera in which no objective need to be changed. Specifically, the positive: + The viewfinder now provides exactly to choose the right cut in the P7800 even with sun. Goods on ski trip and as you can see on the display is not so much - so> Finder is very helpful + Folding screen: Simply brilliant, you can bring the camera close to the ground and the camera can easily operate in this perspective, and also nice to look at the screen, even for self-portraits, for example, while traveling, one can determine the background very well himself. + Zoom range: 28-200, very large area for a compact, high-I recognize there were no significant losses. Even at the telephoto end, I achieved top results. 28mm sufficient 24mm would be desirable, but then the camera obviously had a poorer quality + Ease of use: as an SLR, if you will. Many shortcuts, wheel also good selection of autofocus points front and rear aperture and time, Toll, use your most smallest autofocus point which can be selectively moved. However, automatic autofocus provides for most applications good results, Cute Gimik is the Smiley trigger. + Panorama function: Have great "automatic" panorama by rotating the camera without a tripod, made by hand, offer not the full resolution, you take the camera vertically but it provides vertical I think around 1,000 px. ie it goes fast and you get a great panoramic sufficient resolution with adequate image size (MB). have it printed on A4. Here, the resolution is still top! + Flash: Since I have a SB910er flash and can operate it with the P7800 as a slave, this expands the scope lightning technically considerably. Even when normal triggering can use all flash functions well. Fits. Even the normal flash's enough from most. + Environmental influences: This camera is not designed for rough environmental influences, conserve I do this, however, this had I at -13 ° C in the mountains during use and could not detect any impairment. When it rains, I would, however, have recourse to a waterproof outdoor camera + Battery: With original - the coverage is good battery, that is loose enough 1.5 days, if you continually Photos (~ 500Fotos) makes on tour and in the evening the pictures to look at rest. chose the 2 battery of Patona. But this was after loading a fast blinking on the charger, obviously a mistake. The range of replacement batteries from Patona is about 50%, the Order now twice as expensive Nikon battery, which also has the full power. + Macro area: provides very good results here and to get close to Ran about 2.3cm
Here what could be improved: - The wheel turns a little too light for my taste. - You have to know how you have to arrive at the camera. My wife takes the camera out of his pocket -> battery lid is open, obviously came on the battery cover release button and the lid opened. (This may be somewhat smoothly). Mir has not happened yet. - Otherwise I can not think of anything here!
Conclusion: For me, the best "easy" match for my SLR equipment I confidently leave home when traveling / hiking and take with P7800. I have therefore always there and I'm thrilled. High top!
