Another new Nikon P7100 owner!
5 months ago

Hello Nikon Coolpix people,

I've never owned a Nikon, so I'm new to this forum and very excited about the P7100 I just purchased.  I hadn't planned on buying it, but found an incredible price on the display model at my local big box dept store.  I'd been eyeing it for a while, and have had some interest in the Nikon P6000-and-up models, but also looking at the Fuji X10 a bit.  The price I got on the P7100 left me no choice but to buy it.

I'm glad I did, and actually somewhat surprised at how much I'm enjoying it because I'd given up on all small sensor cameras in favor of m4/3rds, and a couple Sigmas (DP1s and DP2s).

The P7100 is so convenient and such a pleasure to use.  The lens is amazing, and it is considerably faster in the AF department than the Sigmas, which I use almost exclusively as MF cameras. Also better for low light.

I find the image quality of the P7100 to be really good, but I am not a fan of the somewhat flat look produced by small sensor cameras in general.  Having said that, the camera is such a joy to use I can live with that and know that with some pp work they'll come alive.

I'm open to any suggestions on working with this camera and post processing techniques you've found.  I look forward to learning the ins and outs of this great little camera.

Thanks
