Why the P7700 is a great camera

snipped for brevity.

An issue I have here is slow focus wouldn't be a deal breaker for this camera for me. I gave up on using an OVF some time ago, being myopic makes the screen usually fine. RAW is meant for those who are superior, I find JPG to be all that's warranted, and it can be adjusted to a large degree if needed. ISO range isn't a deal breaker, even with a large sensor camera I'm still going to regard high ISO stuff as stocking filler, shots I want as posters I tend to seek as low ISO anyway. What is a deal breaker for the P7700 is the extra zoom above the competitors and what appears to my eyes, superior IQ.
