Nikon Coolpix P7000 - Most Admired Camera For A Reason

If you want a digital camera for class images then the Nikon Coolpix P7000 is absolutely great value for money. You can capture very complete images due to the 10.1 mega pixel CCD image sensor. Together with the 7.1 zoom lens and the 3-inch LCD screen the Nikon P7000 has all it takes to get the best pictures. This digital compact camera is a more portable, cut down SLR camera and an outstanding point and shoot camera. Even expert photographers commend the camera at this price! Let’s have a look at all the features and the pros and cons of the P7000.

Size and Handling -- This in fact just depends on what you are looking for. If you want a pocket camera that can fit into shirt pockets, jean pockets, etc then this is not the camera for you and you in fact should look somewhere else. For me, it's the great size, not too big and not too small. The camera is solid but not too heavy.

Photo quality -- I shoot mainly in RAW and the quality so far is brilliant. Little noise up to ISO400 and usable to ISO800. Can go to 1600 in a pinch.

Autofocus -- Focus is quick and accurate. There are options for Autofocus, Macro Focus, Infinity, and Manual Focus. Be sure to read the instruction booklet and spend time understanding the focus preferences. Some people are reporting focus problems and I believe many are associated to people not learning as much as necessary about the focus system.

Write speed -- This is where I would have given a 4 1/2 instead of a 5 if I could. JPG write speeds are first-class but RAW is fairly sluggish and doesn't appear to buffer. It doesn't affect me much based on the way I take pictures but there are times that it would be nice if it were quicker. It goes without saying if you shoot JPG then this is a non-issue.

Nikon without doubt hasn't skimped on features for the P7000, setting out to match or beat its major rival. It is built with a large 1/1.7-inch 10-megapixel CCD sensor (the same size and resolution as the G12), a 7.1x f/2.8-5.6 Nikkor zoom lens, equal to 28-200mm (the G12 has a 5x zoom f/2.8-4.5, equivalent to 28-140mm), and a 7.5cm LCD monitor with a resolution of 921,000 dots (the G12 has a 7cm 461k screen, but it is expressed).

It also offers an optical viewfinder, a full range of manual exposure controls, optical image stabilisation, a pop-up flash and 720p HD film recording. The P7000 is also competing on price it goes without saying.

It’s no surprise the P7000 takes pure images of anything with a satisfactory amount of available light. Macro close-ups of flowers taken in a sunny room were excellent. Overall, the results looked high-quality and normal. It’s hard to express if they’re “superior” than the G12, since PowerShots are more vivid (which I like better but that’s strictly a matter of personal taste). Another plus for the P7000 is its 5-way VR (Vibration Reduction) system which does an brilliant job of reducing blur at slower shutter speeds.

Pros

A fine set of shooting-focused features; optical viewfinder and built-in neutral density filtration system; excellent picture quality for its class; comfortable, moderately streamlined shooting design.

Customization
Battery life
Viewfinder (I don't use it too often but nice when you need it)
Image quality
Zoom range
Menus (intuitive, easy to use. Even better if you're familiar with Nikon DSLR menus.)
Works with Nikon remote and Nikon flash
Preset zoom

Cons

Have to select Playback button to scroll through images (I like the ability to scroll after taking a photo like the D90)
No articulating screen (If I have to choose, I'll take the higher res LCD but every once in a while the articulating screen would come in useful).
RAW write speed (will be a bigger con for some than it is for me)
Relatively sluggish raw shooting.

Summary

In conclusion, this is a remarkable camera and I highly recommend it as long as you aren't confusing it for something it's not like a pocket P&S with inadequate controls or a full sized DSLR!!

I cannot say enough good about this digital camera. If you are an aspiring photographer on a budget, this camera will get you pictures you cannot touch with any other Nikon Coolpix camera. It is basically the top of the Coolpix line. It will get you advance shots than any Canon point and shoot save the G12, S95 and S100, which all rival it in some ways, come close in others, and beat it in still others.

The Coolpix P7000 is a excellent camera that lots of enthusiasts will be thankful for for its smart shooting design, interesting feature set, and worthy photo quality.
