Nikon L22 vs Nikon P7700

In this article, we are looking at the Nikon L22 versus Nikon P7700, both Small Sensor Compact cameras and they are both produced by Nikon. The sensor resolution of the L22 (12MP) and the P7700 (12MP) is fairly close but the L22 (1/2.3") and P7700 (1/1.7") possess different sensor measurements.

The L22 was announced 4 years prior to the P7700 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving through a complete comparison, below is a simple view of how the L22 matches up versus the P7700 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix L22 & Nikon Coolpix P7700. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon L22 Gallery & Nikon P7700 Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry your camera regularly, you are going to need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Nikon L22 has got exterior measurements of 98mm x 61mm x 28mm (3.9" x 2.4" x 1.1") with a weight of 183 grams (0.40 lbs) and the Nikon P7700 has measurements of 119mm x 73mm x 50mm (4.7" x 2.9" x 2.0") and a weight of 392 grams (0.86 lbs).

Typically, it's tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the L22 and P7700.

Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact megapixels but different sensor sizing. The L22 provides the smaller sensor which should make achieving bokeh more challenging. The older L22 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
