Nikon CoolPix P7000 Digital Camera - Good camera or to much of a tank?

13 years 4 months ago #7863 by Dan Dangerfield
So I've been looking at a few new point and shoot cameras. I want to stick with Nikon, just because I own a D90 and D300 already. So my friends joke around calling the CoolPix 7000 either "a brick" or "a tank" LOL. Name calling huh!? :woohoo: Big or not, the camera's specs seem pretty good: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/734464-RE..._Digital_Camera.html

I wanted to get some feed back from actual owners or those that know this camera. Any takers? Please post pro's and con's! Thanks!

The P7000 is basically meant to be a direct alternative to to Canon's very successful G-series cameras ( www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/643177-REG/Canon_3632B001.html ) which are often used by pros when they don't want to lug their DSLRs around. I had my hands on one recently and was pretty impressed. If the Nikon version matches the Canon (read the reviews) then it's a great camera.
Yes it is bigger than a cutesy digicam, but will probably take better pictures too.

Good answer Solstar, I have a good friend who is a professional photographer. He has this camera and he always has this thing with him. I might need to get one myself. :)
