Nikon Coolpix 700 Review, Phil Askey, May 1999
The
Nikon Coolpix 700 is the fixed lens, smaller brother to the
Nikon Coolpix 950. The 700 sports many similarities with the
950 including the image sensor, similar internal software,
many similar features and the same fast processing and cycle
times.
The 700 competes directly with cameras like the
Fuji MX2700, Toshiba PDR-M4 and Sony DSC-F55K.
This camera comes in at nearly half the price
of the 950 and is extremely attractive to users who aren't
necessarily interested, or have a requirement for, an optical
zoom. Or are possibly more interested in the smaller size
and lighter weight.

Photographs
of the camera were taken with Nikon Coolpix 950,
images which can be viewed at a larger size have
a small magnifiying glass icon in the bottom right
corner of the image, clicking on the image will
display a larger (normally 800 x 600 or smaller
if cropped) image in a new window.
