Following one of our favorite quotes: better hints for better gifts, thanks to my Wonderful Wife, I got a Nikon CoolPix P7000 camera for my birthday.
I love it. It’s small, easy to carry, but has all the easy to access controls for picture creativity. Shooting with manual, aperture, shutter or program as well as many pre-programmed scene modes is great. Bracketing for shutter, aperture or flash as well as exposure compensation makes it a great little camera.
I have a 16gb card which will capture over 3,000 pictures at fine resolution or 6,300 at normal, sizing out at 3,648×2,736 pixels. Most all of the recent posted pictures are out of this great little guy!
