Owned camera for 4 weeks now and is my first foray into the digital world.Always used Minolta Dynax camera and Minolta lenses,so was rather cynical regards digital.I must confess I personally think it the best thing since sliced bread.Quality of images are excellent,as for noise I look hard and cannot yet find any.I shoot all shots at 6mp,on soft resolution,white balance set to "cloudy day" regardless of weather and set permanently to third stop over-exposed.I have never altered a photograph and use straight from the can.All I may do is crop them.I believe ALL adjustments should be done BEFORE you shoot and not after,you will learn very little about photography without that attitude.I love the macro mode on this camera and at last a camera that can faithfully reproduce blues correctly,as with the macro shots of Bluebells I have done,they are excellent colourwise.I certainly would not waste money on a vastly more expensive Nikon 8800 just for the badge, as increase in quality,if in fact there is one,would not be worth paying a further £200 or so.Steves review mentions noise but as I said I have taken lots of sky just to see what this noise thing looks like and - well,I cannot spot any,maybe I have a one in a million camera that is better than the norm.One gets bad apples,so why not an extra good apple,it should cut both ways should it not.I bought this second-hand from a real nice local guy for £240 with loads of extras.He replaced it with a Nikon D70 and regrets doing so immensly,as he is confident that this S7000 returns better pictures OF THE SIZE HE USES.Since he sold it he has had notification that he has had 6 photographs accepted for publication in a monthly magazine taken with the S7000 of Dragonflys--his Nikon could not do that!!--No,he is not getting it back!!
