LCD and Viewfinder
Nikon S7000 has a Fixed Type 3″ LCD screen with a resolution of 460k dots. Both the screen size and the screen resolution is up to the standards of this class.
S7000 doesn't have a viewfinder and no option for external viewfinder. Lack of a viewfinder can be problematic especially under strong light where visibility of LCD screens goes down dramatically. If you need a Compact camera with a built-in viewfinder in a similar price range, consider Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS70 (Lumix DC-TZ90) (Compare) or Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS80 (Lumix DC-TZ95) (Compare). If the price is not an issue, take a look at our Top Rated Cameras with Viewfinders.

With its NFC feature, S7000 can communicate with devices such as smartphones which are also equipped with this technology by simply touching each other.One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our S7000. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.
You can connect S7000 to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) port.
Battery Nikon S7000 is powered by battery which provides a shooting life of 180 according to CIPA standards.
Considering that the average battery life of Compact type cameras is 255 shots, Nikon S7000 has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend S7000 owners to buy some extra batteries.
