Hey, wanne ask what is a fair price?

I don't find noise to be an issue on older CCD cameras anymore now Lightroom has its ridiculously good AI denoiser, as long as I shoot in RAW. It can even get eerily clean while staying sharp, which is a bit too much, but somewhere between 30 and 40 seems to be the sweet spot. Gives older cameras a bit more flexibility than having to permanently stick to base ISO

Great stuff. This video motivated me to take out the P7100 and I must say I had so much fun, that I used it more than my DSLR.

Nice video and excellent photos! I picked up a P7000 because of this video. I'm very happy with the colors and feel of the camera. It makes for a nice every day camera. Firmware v1.2 from Nikon gives the camera more than decent auto focus. RAW write times are still on the slow side, but not bothersome to me.

lot of cool features I was using a Canon PowerShot S120 then & loved it. I still carry it for its compact size. It was the low light mini monster of its day of compacts. But I always like and use Nikon for my big stuff.

i remembered seeing this back then. But i was in dslr land by then. The nikon d40 was ccd too. When I got the d7000 cmos the colors were flatter. Now when I bike I use the cotton carrier, can place my little nikon z30 or little panny m4/3 on my chest.

That's super cool. What a neat system

My never leave home without camera is the Panasonic ZS100 (well it will be again when I am done with my 2024 project of carrying a different camera every week) It's the perfect Jack of All Master of none camera that can do a bit of everything in a small pocket able package. On the flip side it doesn't excel at anything. The 10x zoom on the ZS100 is a nice range but can come up short at times. It's either this or the Olympus XZ-1 if I want something with the CCD more retro feel.

I’ve been wanting to pick up this camera to compare to my Fuji X10. I like more of the physical dial control on the Nikon

I briedly acquired a Nikon P5000, and what immediately leapt out at me, like the P7000 here, was how slow it was in every way. I got rid as soon as I could.

I always leave home without that camera.

Thanks for the video. I've been using the P7000 on overseas vacations for the last 13 years. I like taking pictures of my wife, and she taking pictures of me at various places around the world, And I like taking pictures of friends at dinners at night. The P7000 is superior by far to my Nikon A900 and Sony RX100 MkIV because unlike them, it has a decent internal flash - essential for fill-flash when my wife or I are back-lit, or at night. I did buy a sceond P7000, but unfortunately, the internal battery on both cameras died, and repair cost was quoted at A$175 (US$114) each. So I went and bought a P7800 for that amount. But I still use the cameras, despite the nuisance of having to enter the date and settings whenever I charge the battery. Despite having used the P7000 for so long, until I saw your video, I was unaware that it had an internal ND filter! Not sure how that escaped my attention, but thanks for letting me know. Regards.

I was looking for a small camera for daily use, but not had enough money. My friend, who is a pro photographer, recommended me to look for this camera. In my region it costs around $70-100 in good condition, but even this was too expensive for me to buy it. And then he sends me a link to this camera but only $20 because lens wasn't working. I brought it and got it just few hours ago from post. It looks much smaller than i thought (before it i owned only d3000), yesterday i'll meet my friend to give him this camera for repair, because he knows how to fix it. Looking forward to get more shots of my city and nature of my country.

I wonder if at some stage, you could possibly do a post on the wonderful and unusual Fujifilm x-S1 bridge camera. I would be most interested to hear your views on this anomaly in the Fuji x series lineup. They are still reasonably priced and provide excellent value for money in my opinion. Even though the X-S1 came out in 2012, it has all the ingredients for classic status. The manual zoom function is a real plus and harkens back to another age.

The Canon G cameras up to the G7 were a little bricklike (but still, take good photos in good light), but the G7 introduced a COOL look that continued right 'til the end of the G line. I didn't know until this video that Nikon had a very similar-looking offering. Looks like there was some design borrowing by one side or the other.

This camera looks EXTREMELY similar to a Fujifilm X-Pro3!!!

OK got myself one. Was "lightly used" but turned out to be "new" 😁

Were you using it with the 1.2 firmware? I'm considering this camera but this slow workflow seems like a bummer to me:(

What are you setting on this?

I have the P7100. Same body, sensor & lens as the P7000 but with a tilt display, faster buffer & shooting times, and an extra control dial. Unfortunately the autofocus is about the same as the P7000. It's iffy even for video, and will eventually lose focus on a static subject. Bare in mind there are some things you should be aware of with both the P7000 & P7100. The lens covers can start to stick snd won't open entirely, and the LCD display can develop dead lines of pixels from heat (but eventually they will recover). As with any nikon camera I've ever used, they can freeze at any moment so keep that in mind and reinsert the battery to restore normal operation.

The tilt display is an awesome feature. You can shoot at waist level or over your head to get the composition you want.
