COOLPIX P7000 4.1 5 305 305

Wonderful Camera So far I've been very impressed with this camera. I wanted a camera with full manual control and did quite a bit of research before finally settling on this one because it seemed to be just as good as its competitors, but considerably cheaper. I received it with firmware 1.1 already installed, so I don't know how slow it was before. It takes about 5 seconds to write a RAW file, which is the same as my sister's DSLR. With a class 10 memory card, the write speed was cut to 3 seconds. I don't notice a delay when I am shooting. I've found the menus very easy to use and I love all the dials, it's a pain to go racing through menus looking for important settings just before taking a shot and the dials on this camera fix that problem. The video seems adequate and I'm glad the camera doesn't have in-camera HDR because the quality usually isn't the best. The view finder is extremely important in sunny weather, I just have to remember that the last quarter of the picture is missing. It might have been nice to have a rotating LCD screen, but they break easily. The rotating screen on my friend's Canon broke very quickly. All I wanted was a camera that takes very good pictures and is easy to carry around. The Nikon P7000 more than fits the bill! April 23, 2012

Compact, But powerful P7000 Full featured professional grade tool. If your a beginner just use the auto mode to get great shots. For more advanced shooters this camera really gives some great high quality images. I have enlarged to 16x20 with good results at ISO100. Up to ISO 400 enlargements to 11x14 are stunning. Firmware is alittle quirky and sometimes its like trying to coax a drunk into a taxicab for a ride home.... but once you learn how to get your bracketing and macro modes to work you'll get great results. The qaulity of the images you get out of this little jewel is well worth the effort to work around its issues. I went to a Media Professionals Seminar at the Nelson last night. Greg Gorman was the speaker and presented about 100 of his images. Anyhow, setting up on the stage taking time lapses of the crowd assembling at this Canon sponsored event... was you guessed it... a Nikon P7000. Must have been sort of embarrasing for Canon. Anyhow, this is a great little camera and I see SLR photo's that are not as good as what I get from this camera. Yes for magazine or poster size work its not up to that level but for most everyday street photography this baby rocks. March 17, 2012

Small camera very flashy I got this camera on Christmas and I just fell in love with it.! It is very compact and it is very simple to use. Although it has many buttons and various options just take your time with it. It take amazing sharp crisp images. I am not a photographer but my life is like a photo shoot and I have caught every single moment from breakfast to dinner on by the shore. It is fast, responsive, and unique December 29, 2011

Very good camera I own another Nikon, D50, and I was looking for an everyday lighter camera. The P7000 has most of the features of a larger camera without the bulk or weight. I appars to be a great addition, December 12, 2011

Excellent automatic and manual camera The Nikon P7000 is a non-SLR, with both automatic and manual controls, as well as raw output capability. Can't yet judge reliability. Pros: reasonable size, viewfinder, bright screen, flash shoe (and included small flash), easy flash control, focus lock, multiple focus settings (spot to wide). Auto, shutter-preferred, aperature-preferred, and manual exposure capability. Multiple resolutions easily selected. Easy self-timer. The ergonomics are excellent, and the controls quickly become self-evident. There are typically multiple ways of accomplishing most tasks. Good zoom capability, including the ability to confirm focus after a shot. Lens is not a Leica, but is still quite good. Cons: the Raw output on a Sandisk Extreme Pro card (45 MB/s) takes about 2 seconds. Stll, it's worth it to have raw output to process. Only a few accessories are available, but if I wanted many accessories, I would have gotten an SLR. December 9, 2011
