I’ve been a Nikon SLR/DSRL shooter for my entire professional career (25+years), but I’ve also been a fan of the Canon G series digital cameras, having owned a G2, G5, G9 and most recently a G11. Nikon just didn’t make a compact camera that appealed to me until the Nikon P7000. Nikon P7000 is a great effort for first attempt to make a Canon G-type competitor.
The Good:
The color is spot-on under very challenging conditions. The images are rich, detailed and the noise levels are very good for a compact camera. The ergonomics are fantastic, I used to accidentally press buttons on the back of the Canon G11 with my right thumb, the P7000 has a rubber thumb rest and finger grip on the body, making it very comfortable to use. The multi-function dial allows for easy access to settings like ISO, WB, Image Quality, Bracketing and other settings.
I like the pop up/push down flash, rather than having to navigate a menu to turn flash on and off. The camera works great with Nikon SB800 and SB900 strobes as well as the SU800 remote commander and of course Nikon TTL cords. I’ve successfully synced a SB900 strobe via Pocket Wizards at manual shutter speeds up to 1/1000, I like the semi-automatic ISO which can be set to use 100-200, 100-200-400. Very handy feature. In program mode, the camera will drop the shutter speed all the way down to 1/30 with flash without having to go into night portrait mode ….
