I also got one from Amazon ($250) upgrading from a Canon G9. Allready installed the upgrade and works ok.

Not a very fast camera (for speed I have a D7000), but good quality pictures for a P&S at any price.

The only problem for me has been focusing through glass (in this case better use manual focus) and sometimes overexposure of the flash, but now I'm using negative exp. compensation and works fine.

Lot of user control and options for saving settings. Uses flashes and remote control from D7000. Size is just good to have a good grip of the camera (don't like smallers cameras). If I need a smaller camera, my iphone is loaded with photo Apps.

In general, happy with P7000. I will replace it only for a Nikon Coolpix that uses a N1 sensor. That will be great!

So over the holidays Amazon had this listed for a steal at $229 and Free 1 Day Shipping.

I was very tempted to buy this but it wasn't until reading that the new firmware they pushed out essentially fixed the problems it had and basically made it a P7100 without the extra button and articulating screen, that I pulled the trigger and bought it.

I must say, I take back everything bad I said about Nikon's Coolpix line, at least when it comes to this camera! I LOVE IT!

Also love that my SB-700 can be mounted on it:

And the ability to get an "Ant View" is awesome for creative photos!

Another month, another thread. This one is closed.

I'm really enjoying these shots of yours, elvishefer. I find no boredom in them at all, I find them to be pure and surreal.

@pierre - looks like an awesome trip for photography, very jealous
@squamish - that thing intimidates me a lot more than my dslr ever did :D

More boring night work with ambient light. The forecast for this weekend's weather shows an almost sunny Saturday, and I hope to get some daylight material then.

@Jay: gull shot above is excellent. Great composition; spot-on exposure. Well done!

From a display from an ongoing series.

Kaos it does look like the baby is jamming out though :^)

@Niko - you know, that sounds (and looks) a little more right. Post edited for accuracy. Thanks for the correction.

Kaos those aren't headphones. It's part of the stroller.

Jay all of your D7000 pictures have bad pixels. There are two very big stuck pixels on the top center of your shot. They are next to the seagull's wing. I think you should return your camera and switch to canon ;^)

Seriously though, nice shot...from a noob :^)

Sienna cathedral - porch detail

Getting psyched up for next month's thread... ;)

One more.
D7000. F3.5. 1/1250 sec. ISO-100. 18mm focal. minor adjustment in GIMP.

@ Kaos, Nice job of panning on the stroller mom.

It may not be high art, but the [hinge of the stroller that looks like] headphones on the kid slay me.

Edit for a truth of which I was not even aware. Is Niko always right?

Thanks Skid, the water has a high iron content, hence the rust color. We call it rootbeer.

Jay- Welcome to the forum. Your photo looks great, keep posting them.

Treckie- Great photo...disgusting water though.

1st photo post from a complete NOOB. Just got my D7000. f5.6 1/125 sec. ISO-1400 @105mm. Auto white balance and color adjustment in GIMP.
