Nikon P7700 vs Nikon S3300

Below is a extensive overview of the Nikon P7700 versus Nikon S3300, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras and both are created by Nikon. There is a huge difference between the image resolutions of the P7700 (12MP) and S3300 (16MP) and the P7700 (1/1.7") and S3300 (1/2.3") have different sensor dimensions.

The P7700 was brought out 17 months later than the S3300 making them a generation apart from each other. The two cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving into a complete comparison, here is a brief summation of how the P7700 grades versus the S3300 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix P7700 and Nikon Coolpix S3300. The entire galleries are available at Nikon P7700 Gallery and Nikon S3300 Gallery.

When you are aiming to lug around your camera, you'll need to factor its weight and dimensions. The Nikon P7700 comes with external measurements of 119mm x 73mm x 50mm (4.7" x 2.9" x 2.0") with a weight of 392 grams (0.86 lbs) whilst the Nikon S3300 has dimensions of 95mm x 58mm x 19mm (3.7" x 2.3" x 0.7") with a weight of 128 grams (0.28 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are working with at the time. Here is a front view size comparison of the P7700 versus the S3300.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the P7700 and S3300 is 82 and 96 respectively.

Oftentimes, it's hard to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by looking at a spec sheet. The visual here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the P7700 and S3300.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The P7700 featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Nikon S3300 will resolve greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The newer P7700 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
