Nikon P7700 vs Olympus SZ-10

Here, we will be contrasting the Nikon P7700 versus Olympus SZ-10, former being a Small Sensor Compact while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Nikon and Olympus. The resolution of the P7700 (12MP) and the SZ-10 (14MP) is relatively comparable but the P7700 (1/1.7") and SZ-10 (1/2.3") offer different sensor sizes.

The P7700 was released 2 years later than the SZ-10 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before getting right into a full comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the P7700 matches up against the SZ-10 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix P7700 & Olympus SZ-10. The complete galleries are available at Nikon P7700 Gallery & Olympus SZ-10 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to factor in its weight and volume.

In many cases, its tough to visualize the gap in sensor measurements just by checking out specifications. The visual here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the P7700 and SZ-10.

Plainly, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The P7700 due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus SZ-10 will produce more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent P7700 provides an advantage in sensor technology.
