According to the technical specs, P7 is similar to or even a bit better than the old Monarch 7. P7 has a bit wider apparent field of view and a locking diopter. However, I do not have hands-on experience with P7 so cannot comment on the sharpness and other real-world difference between both bins.

When comparison with P7 and P5, the only difference I found is that P7 has dielectric coating while P5 has silver mirror coating.

Don't exist too Much review on these new models?

So the way I interpret the models....
P3/P7- "P" stands for Prostaff model which Nikon has made for quite a while. Kind of like M5/M7 when the "M" stand for Monarch. The P/Prostaff models are some of Nikons economy models. The M/Monarch are a step up in quality.
