"Oh, I've been waiting for this little camera for a long time: A pro-worthy Nikon point-and-shoot. After the bizarre melange of features in Nikon's last flagship camera—uh, ethernet jack?—the P7000 is nakedly all about performance.

The P7000 is also quite nakedly, um, inspired by the Canon G-series pro point-and-shoots it's competing against. Not only does it look a lot more like the G11 than it does the P6000, it pulls the same trick of dropping megapixels for better low-light performance: The P6000 had a 14.2MP sensor, while the P7000 has a 10MP CCD sensor. It also drops a lot of the P6000's whizzier features in the process, like built-in GPS geotagging and that ethernet jacking. But if it says anything the ISO range is expandable up to 12,800. Radical in this kind of camera, so Nikon's got some confidence in the sensor's performance. Good."
