Editor's Review

The P7000 is Nikon's foray into enthusiast/high-end compact territory, a direct competitor to powerful shooters like the Canon G12. The goal here is excellent image quality, achieved with a larger-than-average CCD sensor, a powerful processor, high sensitivity, RAW shooting, full manual control, and heightened image stabilization. The feature that really makes the P7000 stand out from its peers is the 7.1x zoom lens, the longest we've seen on any high-end compact. The twin-dial interface is also the most dSLR-like of the bunch. It has extra enthusiast appeal because of its optical viewfinder, too. The overall image quality is great, on par with other advanced compact shooters, but the huge size and clunky interface hold this back a bit. If it feels right, go for it, but we prefer the Canon G12 by a hair.

I've had mine for 3 weeks and have auto-focus problems. Also proprietary software. Photo Shop won't accept Nikon Raw images and you can't import the movie into Premier Pro. I'm sending it back to Nikon after the holidays. When the camera does focus the images are sharp and the colors are true. Excellent flash.

It could just be a defective unit -- see if you can exchange it for a new unit, and test the auto focus then.

Also, I believe Photoshop does accept P7000 RAW images, you might just need to download a patch/plug-in/upgrade. Here's what I found on Adobe's website:

is the P-7000 faster than the P-5100? (Jeff W from California — 11/03/2010)

I own the p-5100 and I love the feel but it is soooooo slow to focus and to capture the action that what I've photographed is long gone...I thought that it was the way I was using it but after reviews I've decided it is just the way the p-5100 works. Does the P-7000 suffer the same problems and can I shoot quickly?

Well the thing is, that if you're not prefocusing, any point and shoot will give you fits with shutter lag. But if you press the button half way to lock your focus, then recompose your image. Pan with the action and if distance from the camera changes, you refocus again. Doing this, you can cut that lag by as much as 80% if you're practiced at it.
