We loved staying in this apartment. Everything was so convenient from the apartment. It was at the center of everything. Though it is several floors up, the walk up to the apartment was worth it. The amenities were just right. We are grateful that when we checked in, we were shown the sites to visit in Florence but what we are really glad about is that they told us about the leather market. We didn't know about the leather market before this trip. We could have just easily bought our leather bags from the corner near the apartment but showing us the leather market was the best tip we got. We will definitely consider staying here again.

This comfortable and cheery apartment in the Santa Croce neighborhood is in a fantastic location, with a great patio overlooking a charming courtyard. We had an extremely positive experience from start to finish, thanks to the responsiveness and professionalism of Danilo and his colleagues. The apartment is on a quiet street less than one block from the beautiful Santa Croce church, with wonderful restaurants such as Fagiole nearby. We easily walked to the main sites in Florence from the apartment, which was a great home base for our stay. The apartment is cozy, so we used the patio as the sitting area. The bathroom was well-appointed, with modern fixtures. We could hear our neighbors, but it was not a problem. We appreciated the warm welcome and helpful information that we received upon arrival. We felt well taken care of throughout our stay and would highly recommend Danilo as a host to our friends and family!

This apartment surpassed our expectations! It was immaculate and well-equipped for the needs of our family of five. The location is unbeatable; everything we wanted to see and needed to do is no further than a few minutes walk. The hospitality and helpfulness of our hosts was exceptional, despite the fact that we arrived an hour and half past the agreed check-in time. Mustafa made several trips (for extra linens, etc.) upon our check-in to ensure we had everything we needed; he and Daniel also made a late night visit when a breaker blew in the apartment on our first night (blow dryer and washing machine on at same time a no-no!). Our stay was so quiet, relaxing and luxurious, it was difficult to leave.

The location of this property is amazing! If you want to be steps from all of the main attractions then stay here. The apartment is as shown in the photos. It was certainly large enough for the 4 members of our family. The staff was very helpful carrying our bags up the 3 flights of stairs, giving the "inside" scoop on the city and looking after our luggage on our departure day for a few extra hours. I would recommend this place!

Thank you Danilo. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with you and we fell in love with the apartment. From the first email, to our arrival and your help with our luggage and arranging a taxi to the train station we cannot fault your level of service and gracious nature. I had been dreaming of my trip to Florence for the last 21 years and our stay could not have been more perfect. It will remain a very special memory . The apartment was spotless and the bathroom was lovely (not shown on pictures). The bed was super comfy and I would like to know where you got the mattress from?! The masterpiece (amazing balcony), as Danilo called it, was an absolute joy. I would not hesitate to recommend this place and when we return to Florence we would seriously consider staying here again. Mille grazie Danilo

There is only one thing to say: the best place one could stay during a visit to Florence! Everything was just perfect and you can reach everything within a short walk (if it is not just in front of your door!). We stayed in the "red appartment" which has a roof top terrace and is just wonderful. We used Florence as a "base" from where we visited other places like Siena or Pisa and we can really recommend this way to explore these exciting places of Tuscany.

Six of us stayed in the 4 plus two executive apartment for two nights. A fabulous apartment,well equipped and suited six adults comfortably.WiFi access was good. The rooms are beautifully furnished and fitted out. A touch of modern in the an old building with a great ceiling in the.main bedroom. The only drawback was all the stairs but we were stair fit by the time we had finished. Everyting very close ,Uffizzi,Palazzio Vecchio,Bell tower, Duomo and Galleris D'Academia.Location,location,location. Great service from Fabbio on arrival and throughout our stay. Thanks from the six Aussies.

My family and I recently stayed at Awesome Apt 2+2 in Florence and had a great time. The apartment was as pictured, nice and clean, and it was extremely convenient - right next to Piazza della Signoria, right in the center of downtown Florence. Danilo and staff were very helpful in getting us settled in and recommending places to see and eat at. They were very responsive, and we didn't have any issue reaching them when we needed assistance. Would highly recommend this place!

We arrived early and Danilo was there to greet us and let us into the "Orange" apartment. The location is fantastic - steps from Piazza Signoria, Uffizzi, Duomo, and Piazza Republicca to name a few. The apartment was spotless, very roomy and perfect for our family of four. With the temperature in the high 90s, it was great to have the refuge of air conditioning. While we did not eat any meals in, the kitchen was fully equipped and it would have been possible to cook anything. We made use of the washing machine, and although there is no dryer, once the drying rack was set up, our clothes were dry in 24 hours. The only drawback was the steps up to the apartment. There is a VERY slow elevator so if you are in a hurry, be prepared to climb. Danilo was in the office everyday, and if he was not there, Tomas was. They were extremely helpful and hospitable! I would not hesitate to recommend the Signoria Apartments for your stay and we can't wait to return! Thanks Danilo!

This apartment was very comfortable, we especially enjoyed the terrace. The location is perfect - very close to all the sites and museums and convenient to Oltrarno, but not in the absolute center of all the other tourists. The tradeoff for having a nice terrace is that it's a third floor walkup. The staff of Signoria Apartments were great

This is a great option for accommodation in Florence - great location, cheaper than a hotel, but still really comfortable and you feel like you're actually a city resident for a few days! Our flat even had two sun terraces as well as it was on the top floor of the building.

My family of 4 spent 5 nights in the Executive apartment, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is spacious and very comfortable, with two bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, a large bedroom, and an upstairs loft reached by a spiral staircase. Best of all is the location: a half block from Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizzi Gallery. The Duomo, Bargello, and many other attractions are also just a short walk away. Florence is a fantastic city, and at the Signoria Apartments, you're right in the middle of it. Danilo and his staff are also very helpful and accommodating, and are quick to help you out with anything you may need. I think the only real drawback of this apartment is the fact that you have to climb 3 flights of stairs to get there (no lift). My son injured his knee just before we got to Florence, but was still able to manage it with our help. In general, the stairs are only a problem when you're bringing your luggage up, and they are happy to help you with that.

The Red apartment at the main location of Signoria Apartments was excellent. It was very comfortable and roomy including air conditioning (which I definitely appreciated with the summer heat!) You feel like you're right at home in this apartment. To top if off the service provided is amazing. You have a warm welcome when you arrive and an in depth overview of the sights and sounds of Florence. As well, if you ever have any questions the staff are available 24 hours a day for you to contact them. Even more, they helped me find an apartment to stay in Cinque Terre, my next stop in Italy. They took the time to phone various hotels who could only converse in Italian, which I greatly appreciated with my minimal Italian. I would most definitely recommend Signoria Apartments to anyone who is visiting Florence. Their apartments and customer service made Florence one of my favorite cities in Italy. Thanks Danilo, Lukas and Fabio!!

My daughter, her boyfriend, and myself recently stayed 4 nights in Florence in the Two Bedroom Apartment. It was a wonderful experience. Danilo and his staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The location is excellent in the center of Florence near the Piazza Signoria, the Uffizi Museum, the Duomo and many other historic sites in the north bank area of the Arno River. Right out the door is shopping, restaurants, caffes, gelato, groceries. Everything was in walking distance. The apartment is beautiful, clean, comfortable. The owner and management staff is on site and very helpful. I would definitely stay again.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom executive on Via Della Condotta. There was 6 of us and we thought the apartment was great and exactly like the photo's on Signorias website. There are several flights of stairs up to the apartment but once inside it is worth the puffing and panting. The kitchen was fully equipped but we didn't get to use it cos we only stayed for 1 night as we only stayed in Florence for an overnight stay as part of our Rome trip. WiFi was free, the master bedroom is spacious. The apartment is perfectly safe with an electronic card to get into the communal area before using a key to get into the apartment. Loved the décor of the 2 bed executive the reason I chose this in the 1st place and also right in the centre. Plenty of shops and restaurants as soon as you step outside with Chanel right on the doorstep. I love Florence this was my 2nd trip here, wished I had stayed here on my 1st visit. The agent was helpful and friendly. The only downside was the weather and when Italy rains it rains hard. The Duomo is only 5 min walk away and the cathedral is amazing and beautiful especially at night. We went up to Piazzale Michaelangelo to capture the amazing view of the city which is a must. Would definitely stay at Signorias again!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at the Signoria Apartments on Via Della Condotta in Florence, Italy. I selected this apartment for my family of 4 because it was centrally located which made it convenient to walk around town to tour the sites, shops, restaurants, Leather Market, etc. We could easily access the train station and tour bus pick-up/drop-off point, and catching a cab to another district was just outside the front door. We loved having the conveniences of "home" with a clean and appealing decor. The refrigerator, stove, and microwave made it easy to purchase groceries and to eat within our apartment. And, having a washing machine with a drying rack was a God send (especially when you've been traveling for a while). The Apartment Manager, Danillo Della Ratta, was friendly and helpful in answering our questions, and efficient in accommodating our requests/needs. We also enjoyed our dining experience at the restaurant next door. Overall, this apartment complex is a "jewel" that I would recommend it to anyone that is going to Florence. The steep flights of stairs that you need to climb are well worth it. A smart investment for any traveler!

We stayed in the Torre apartment with our 2 children (8 and 11) for 3 nights in May. It was everything we were looking for in an apartment in Florence and we wished we had stayed there for the whole 2 weeks we were in Italy. The rental agent was very helpful and friendly and helped get us set up in the apartment. He offered to carry all of our suitcases up the 4 flights of stairs even. Wifi was free and the place was very clean. The place is modern but with lots of character. The kids loved their own loft up the spiral stairs. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook. The apartment was in the perfect spot. Walk one way and you were at the Duomo and walk the other and you were at the Piazza Signoria. The master bedroom was lovely, with a beautifully painted high ceiling and the most slimming mirror in the world! We would go back in a second!

This place exceeded my expectations. Firstly, and most importantly, the location is superb!!! No better location can you find! Literally stumbling distance (around the corner!) from the Palazzo Vecchio and a 2 minute walk to the Duomo! Honestly...greatest location. Secondly, it's a 600 year old building! You get to feel like a real Florentian. Even the restaurant next door, Gabriella's, is 150 years old. Room was super clean, with full amenities, fridge, microwave, freezer, sink, working A/C, silverware, kettle, ironing board, iron, TV, very fast wi-fi. Bathroom is new and modern and very clean. Excellent! Decor of the bedroom is a bit dated and could do with updating...but really, who cares? You're there to see Florence not the inside of the apartment! As for the management....more accommodating and more helpful than most hotels I have stayed in. They have an office in the basement level of the building and are there every day until 6pm to help with anything and answer any and all questions. They even helped to take the luggage up and arrange taxi service. Super friendly, reliable and honest service. You can't go wrong. This place is great!

Hello! We stayed at Signoria apartments for 1 week at the end of March"2012. Apartments are very-very comfortable, clean and have one of the best locations in the heart of Florence. Via Calzaiouli starts right exactly from the Piazza Della Signoria. One probable "minus" for people with limited moving opportunities-there is no elevator. For us exactly that was not a minus, but only just-in-time gym after delicious toskaniN food;))) By the way, our apartments have been cleaned during our stay! Fabio and Danilo were extraordinary helpful, friendly and positive!!! They tried to do their best to make our stay as comfortable as possible!!! they helped us with our laggage, organized our transfer to airport (at 5 AM!), etc. Danilo even helped me to resolve complicated puzzle with my luggage packing, when at the last minute I've faced a problem with extra luggage)))) For sure, we'll choose Signoria apartments for our next stay in Florence!!!

The location was amazing. It was a few steps from the Ufritzi Palace, Santa Croce, Ponte Vecchio and Duomo. The owner Danio was very accomodating and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. We were snowed in leaving Austria, and although we arrived late on a Sat night he did not make us feel guilty, instead he reassured us that he would be there on our arrival, and helped my young family with our luggage. The appartment was something you would love as a private holiday home. We had the penthouse suite. It was so cute, with bunkbeds for the kids to argue over, a lovely florentine living area, and provinical looking dining and kitchen. It was clean, bright, tastefully decorated, and felt like home from the minute we opened the door. We will be back and will tell all our friends about this little jewel...We caught a taxi from the train station for about 14 Euro, and the taxi pulled up right in front of the appartments. We loved everything. If we had known how lovely it was, we would have booked 5 nights just to be able to sit out on the private Penthouse balcony which overlooked the Uffritzi palace and Florentine rooftops..... We will be back

The location of the apartment close to the Pontevechio meant easy walking distance to all the galleries and churches as well as being just across the river from the lovely garden walks and fabulous museo Bardini which was a totally amazing find., Away from the crowds and full of beautiful previously unknown treasures. The interior was very stylish and comfortable, spacious and clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Signoria Apartments. We selected the apartment as we needed a place which accommodated 6 people. There was ample room, the apartment was exceptionally clean, well lit, and the space was laid out well for our group. The washer was a bonus! The location was absolutely fabulous; we all enjoyed looking and listening at the sights and sounds of the center of Florence through the large windows in the apartment. Because of the windows, we could easily use the apartment as home-base for meals, etc. while sightseeing and touring the city. The brothers/cousins who managed the building were exceptionally kind and helpful. We had a wonderful stay!

This lovely apartment is located just around the corner from the Uffizi Gallery and a 5 minute walk from the Duomo! The apartment was beautifully clean and the beds very comfortable. There was a lovely view from the apartment and the windows were double glazed to keep ou any noise. There was also an airconditoner in all the rooms. The kitchen was great and there was also a washing machine which was a welcome sight for weary travellers running short on clean clothes! There are lots of restaurants nearby as well as great shopping and markets. There is a well stocked supermarket a few minutes walk away. The only downside is there is a flight of stairs before the lift (lift goes from the first floor). Staff were very helpful . Our apartment was not ready at midday when we arrived, however we were able to leave our luggage in the office. When we returned 2 hours later Lucas had taken all our luggage to the apartment which was much appreciated. This apartment was exceptional value for money! One day we hope to return.

Staff (the two Danilos) are extremely efficient in all details. Apts are greatly furnished, equipped and decorated. We were a party of 5, couple and three children. We could not believe staying precisely at Piaza della Signoria. They can also arrange valet parking service from a parking place (€ 25 per day). Definitely, we recommend it.

Pasamos cuatro noches en uno de los apartamentos (en concreto, el naranja; y es que cada uno tiene asignado un color en que se basa la decoración). Lo mejor es la ubicación, en pleno centro, al lado de la plaza de la Signoria y a dos pasos de la catedral. El único inconveniente de la excelente localización es que por la noche se oía bastante el ruido de la calle, pero eso es inevitable estando donde estaba (y como acabábamos rendidos, y yo en concreto utilizo tapones, ¡yo casi que ni me enteré!) Los apartamentos están muy bien, con todo lo necesario y un diseño bastante cuidado, aunque hay algún detallito mejorable (servicio de limpieza diario y no final, o más utensilios de cocina, por ejemplo). En cualquier caso, cuando necesitamos algo (como por ejemplo, un adaptador), se nos solucionó. También nos gustó el podernos comunicar con el responsable por correo electrónico y tener respuesta a casi todas nuestras preguntas (por ejemplo, nos reservó entradas para museos y nos dio información práctica para la llegada, aunque se le olvidó decirnos que tenían servicio de transporte hasta la estación, lo cual supimos ya demasiado tarde). Otro pequeño inconveniente es que no hay ascensor desde la planta baja (algo de lo que se informa en la información del establecimiento) y a partir del primer piso hay un montacargas, no un ascensor, que es bastante lento. En nuestro caso, esto supuso un pequeño problema porque íbamos con niños pequeños, pero si no, un poco (más) de ejercicio tras patear Florencia no es dramático. En resumen, si volviera a Florencia para quedarme en un apartamento, no miraría otras opciones.

My family of four -- me and my husband and our two teenage children -- stayed in the Annex of the Signoria Apartments in Florence for three days. Originally we were booked for two but we loved the city so much that we added an extra day (only possible to do this on the spur-of-the-moment, I think, since we were there off-season). The apartment was perfect for us. Both the pull-out bed in the living room and the queen-size bed in the bedroom were nice and comfortable. The kitchen was well-appointed and we were within a few minutes' walkig distance of a grocery store, important for us as we ate many of our meals in. I was grateful for the laundry facilities on our floor (in the common area) and was able to do lots of washing while we were out seeing the sights. The location could not have been better: we were only a few minutes away from the Duomo, the Uffizi, the Accademia, etc., etc. Fantastic! While the bathroom in our apartment was very nice -- spacious, well kitted-out (it even had a bathtub), etc. -- we discovered the shower drain was blocked when one of us had a shower and we ended up with a little flood that leaked out as far as the living room. However, as soon as we told Danilo what had happened, he sent someone around, the problem was fixed right away, and there was no recurrence. Danilo is a big part of why our experience with Signoria was so good. It's true that the apartment itself is very nice but Danilo makes it extra special. Our daughter was somewhat ill with a nasty cold while we were in Florence and when we mentioned that to Danilo, he insisted on closing up the office for a few minutes so he could accompany us to the pharmacy to help us speak with the pharmacist to find some sort of cold medication. Now that's what I call going above and beyond the call of duty! Like many places in Italy, there's no lift here. So if you have trouble with stairs, be forewarned. My husband has some difficulties with his feet and found the stair-climbing somewhat challenging. That being said, the stairs were ultimately only a minor inconvenience (and one we came across often in our travels through Italy and France). We loved Florence and we loved Signoria.

We were extremely pleased with the wonderful 5-star service provided by Danilo and his team --- something rarely seen with short-term rentals. Prior to our visit, Danilo was very responsive to our emails. When we asked if he could recommend a reputable local babysitting agency, he went out of his way to arrange for a sitter for us through a local babysitting service and even forwarded her c.v. and a short video clip provided by the agency prior to our trip for our review. Danilo also gave us his cell phone number and told us to call when we were on our way to the office so he could make sure he was there (after hours) for check-in. I was pleasantly pleased when he promptly answered his cell phone and said he would be waiting for us. Unlike most short-term rental companies, when we checked-in, Danilo didn't just hand us the keys, he made sure we had a map of the area, knew where the main sights were and he even helped with our luggage. We rented the Luxury Apartment from Signoria Apartments - a charming one-bedroom apartment in a fabulous location in the heart of Florence. We could walk to the Duomo, the Uffizi, the Academy, the leather market etc. - a car would have been a nuisance. Through out our stay Danilo really went out of his way to provide superior service – even offering to dry our clothes in the dryer at his office when I couldn't figure out how to work get the European combination washer/dryer machine to dry our clothes and it was time to check out. He also graciously stored our luggage after checkout until we were ready to leave. The service we received made traveling so much easier and less stressful. We really missed the fabulous service at Signoria Apartments when we went to check in with a different apartment rental company in Rome and where simply given a set of keys without a warm welcome, no help with our luggage and no office close by (like Signoria Apartments has) to turn to if we had questions. Even after we left, Danilo was still looking out for us – when we went to Rome two of our leather bags (including a brand new leather bag that my husband had bought in Italy with his laptop in it) went missing. We received an email from Danilo saying that Signoria Apartments had received a call from our taxi driver who had our bags and was trying to track us down. The taxi driver had found the Signoria Apartments contact info in one of bags. Thanks to Danilo we were able to get in touch with the taxi driver and get our bags back. Would definitely stay with Signoria Apartments again – the location is excellent and the service first rate. ---

We were at this hotel recently, from 13 to 15 June, with her husband and two children. a wonderful place. But! this is not a hotel, namely apartments. We are located on the 4th floor of a typical Florentine house. this is what we really liked it! The apartments were two (!) verandas overlooking the elegant Florentine rooftops. We are so pleased there that my girls even refused to travel around the city in favor of the patio:) the room had two, one-aligned with the kitchen. of what should be in the house for a normal family life, is all. I mean, pots, cloth. . and even the coffee maker:) beds are very comfortable, with normal blankets and pillows. interesting designs inside. expected to be honest, the worst. but all very much! Thanks Danilo for your hospitality! and Larissa, thank you very much for your advice and taking care of us! Larissa is a Russian maid. energetic and charming lady

The staff were excellent and very helpful when it came to geting the best out of Florence, The apartment was clean and in great condition, but the fabulous location was the main drawcard from our perspective. It's quite literally a few steps from shops, restaurants and the main sights. Our only regret is not staying longer. We'll definitely return, but will stay for a week rather than just a few days. Highly recommended!

Absolutely the best possible location. Blocks from the best Florence has to offer. Extremely clean and comfortable. But the staff really made the experience special. Couldn't have asked for a more accomodating and helpful group. Definitely recommend this for families or couples who really want a convenient and comfortable stay in the heart of the city.

We stayed in the "Verde" room which was quite nice --- a corner suite overlooking a pedestrian walkway. The location was ideal! The room was clean, spacious, and decorated in light/bright cheerful colors. In many European apartments the stairwells are dark and dingy, but this one was super clean and inviting. Movement sensors automatically trigger the lights at night. Danilo was extremely helpful--- he even carried our bags up to the room.

The apartment was great. Fantastic location. Its about a 20 min walk from the train station. We caught a taxi from the station only cost about 8 euros. Be aware of the 3 flights you have to walk up, but well worth it to have your own balcony. And the view was fantastic! There is a washing machine (great on a long trip). Most of the kitchen meant you could cater for yourself, just missing a few things like a decent knife and chopping board, salt and pepper etc... The room was quiet and bed very comfortable. We would stay here again if we come back to Florence!

We came to Florence for the 6th time to attend a friends wedding. We chose this apartment as we stayed here in 2007 & loved the location & facilities. The owner is new but experienced (has another B&B in Florence). He is extremely helpful. Free WiFi is a bonus. The apartment had recently been upgraded with new dishwasher & clothes washer. Our apartment was on the first floor & the lift only starts here & goes up so you have to carry your bags up one floor. The stairs are steep. Thoroughly recommended.

The staff was very friendly and even upgraded us to a larger apartment at no charge because there was another cancellation. Good for travelling with young children.

My wife and I recently (end of April 2009) stayed at one of the one bedroom Signoria Apartments in Florence. The apartment was spacious, modern (recently renovated), and tastefully and comfortably furnished. We were not interested in cooking, but it was fully supplied, including a dishwasher. There was ample hot water, and all new bathroom fixtures and a tiled shower. The location is ideal (one important reason we chose it) in the center of town, on a small side street just off a main pedestrian street, and literally a few steps from the Piazza Signoria. Yet at night the apartment was absolutely quiet so we could, as they say, hear a pin drop. The management maintains an office on the premises, so that during the day there is usually someone there, and they are available at all times. Liana and Cecilia could not have been nicer. All in all, it is a very nice apartment, perfectly located, and a very good value.

I got this camera for taking pictures without the huge bulk of my digital SLR but the camera's movie mode is very poor which makes it unsuitable for using the camera as a 'multipurpose use' recording device. Also despite "less megapixels per area" on the Nikon, the 10 megapixel images from the camera looks similar to output from my friend's 16 megapixel Sony Pros: Good camera with lots of manual controls, solid Cons: Major weakness in movie mode (max is 720p, not 1080p), camera makes a whining noise that is recorded in videos 15 out of 23 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The LCD monitor has approximately 96% horizontal and vertical coverage in the shooting mode and approximately 100% horizontal and vertical coverage in playback mode. The LCD screen can be tilted for best viewing at difficult angles; approximately 81° downward and 105° upward. Monitor Display Options: When using the LCD monitor in shooting mode, you can choose whether or not to display the picture and shooting information, hide the shooting info, or turn the monitor off altogether (for using the viewfinder). In playback mode, you can display the photo along with the information, hide the picture information, or display a smaller picture along with the picture information and tone levels (histogram, etc.). Optical Viewfinder: In addition to the 3" monitor, the P7100 has a real-image optical viewfinder. It has approximately 80% horizontal and vertical coverage, compared to the actual picture. The viewfinder's diopter lets you adjust the viewfinder to your eyesight. Image Sensor/Processor: The Coolpix P7100 features a large 1/1.7" CCD image sensor with approximately 10.39-million total pixels and 10.1-million effective pixels. The EXPEED C2 Image Processing engine delivers high-quality, natural-looking pictures with stunning color and sharpness. Optics: The Coolpix P7100 digital camera uses a Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens for superb image quality. Every aspect of the lens manufacturing process is controlled by Nikon. The Zoom-Nikkor lens is designed for the specific camera and CCD combination. The Coolpix P7100 uses a 7.1x wide-angle optical zoom lens, that is equivalent to a 28-200mm lens in 35mm photography. Coupled with the 4x digital zoom, the camera's total zoom capability is 28x. The angle of view is equivalent to that of a 800mm lens (35mm format). Zoom Memory: When the zoom control is operated while pressing the Fn1 button on the front of the camera, the zoom stops at the following preset focal lengths: 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 105mm, 135mm, and 200mm. The function is similar to having 7 different prime lenses on a D-SLR camera. You can select any or all of the presets in the menu. (Zoom Memory is only available in the P, S, A, or M shooting modes.) Optional Wide-Angle Converter: The WC-E75A Wide-angle Converter (sold separately) can be mounted to give you an even wider angle view, equivalent to a 21mm lens. The UR-E22 Adapter Ring is required for mounting. Photo Information: Three display options for the LCD monitor are available during shooting: Virtual Horizon: A level display allows you to check whether the camera is being held perfectly horizontal or vertical. Histograms: A graph that shows the brightness distribution in the picture. Framing Grid: Two vertical and two horizontal lines can be overlaid in the picture, dividing the frame into 9 sections, to assist you in framing your shot. Vibration Reduction: The Coolpix P7100 offers Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization to reduce blurring caused by camera shake when shooting. The camera compensates for the effects of camera shake by shifting the lens. Motion Detection: Motion Detection automatically detects moving subjects and adjusts the shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement. Best Shot Selector (BSS): Nikon's Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically takes up to 10 shots while the shutter is pressed, and then saves the sharpest image. File Formats: The Coolpix P7100 records still images in JPEG and RAW (uncompressed) formats. HD and SD movies are recorded in MOV format (Video: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, Audio: AAC stereo). You have a choice of 11 still image size options and three movie options (see chart below). You can set the image quality (compression) for each image size as Fine (1:4 compression ratio), Normal (1:8), Basic (1:16). NRW (RAW): Raw, uncompressed data from the image sensor is saved in the memory. You can convert the raw data to a JPEG image file in the camera using the NRW (RAW) processing option in the playback menu. You can also take a RAW image and a JPEG image at the same time. The JPEG image compression can be set to Fine, Normal, or Basic. The image size of a RAW image is set to 10M: 3648 x 2736. Built-in Memory: The camera has a built-in 94 MB internal memory for storing still images and movies with sound. Recording Media: In addition to the built-in memory, images can be recorded onto SD, SDHC, or SDXC Memory cards. When an SD Memory card is inserted in the camera, the images are automatically recorded onto the card. When no card is inserted, the images automatically record to the internal memory. The camera can support 2 GB SD cards, SDHC cards from 4 GB to 32 GB, and SDXC cards over 32GB. The capacity of the internal memory and optional memory cards is as follows: Image Size/ Resolution Image Quality (Compression Ratio) Number of Storable Images (approx.)
