I got a new camera today. The Nikon Coolpix p7000. I hate that the word “coolpix” is in the title of it. It sounds like a plastic camera that you give to your child. Anyway, I read the reviews for this camera online, saw the YouTube videos of it’s features vs the Canon G12 and played with it in the camera store–it’s pretty darn awesome if you are a person with a DSLR who wants to carry a point-and-shoot 24/7, and not necessarily your DSLR, like me. You can control so many of the same features of a DSLR (ISO, bracketing, white balance, exposure value, etc) with the easy-to-reach controls on the top of the camera, which is why it’s great, and honestly, also why it’s pretty big, bulky and heavy as point-and-shoots go.
