I own the Nikon P7700, because I just like to experiment and play with image sharpening. But since I do not like to give my camera out of his hands, I have now bought the 9400 for my wife and they tested a few days for them extensively. I made photos in a dimly lit room, have played with light and shadow situations covered tables with small parts and tested the zoom range both in outdoor and indoors. All pictures I made for comparison with my P7700.
Conclusion: The 9400 makes tack-sharp images, is good grip and surprised all around with their outstanding for this price segment image quality. Low light she masters left, the autofocus works quickly and reliably. Even the macro shots of insects and flowers are really neat. A very well-balanced camera is.

People who enjoy photography, just who wish to save spontaneous situations in images, but are reluctant to sit down with technical details apart. Here you have it just right.
