I never leave home without this camera 

You are one of the few creators that shows an abundance of pictures from each camera you test.

P7100 gang here

I don't find noise to be an issue on older CCD cameras anymore now Lightroom has its ridiculously good AI denoiser, as long as I shoot in RAW. It can even get eerily clean while staying sharp, which is a bit too much, but somewhere between 30 and 40 seems to be the sweet spot. Gives older cameras a bit more flexibility than having to permanently stick to base ISO

The colors are strangely gorgeous. They really nailed the blues and greens

I have the P7100. I bought it brand new in 2012 and it's still going strong. Same lens and sensor as the 7000. I find the tilt out lcd very handy. I often use it like a waist level finder.

Brilliant overview of the Nikon p7000. Lovely results and such a great looking camera! Love that style of grab and run cameras. Thanks for sharing and providing great content.

Wow, I didn't expect those tones and dynamic range from the Nikon P7000! You got great pictures. (Image noise from CCD sensors is beautiful.)

Yep, got one of these from Japan, complete with immaculate black leather fitted case. I use the half case and only keep the camera in the full case. Super cool, and a great camera.

I have the P7700 and I love the results and many different angles with the flip out screen.

Yep. I have a G9 and it does very well in daylight. The photos are dreamy. Not sure why, I simply smile at the results. Any G series camera will serve you well. Any compact of this class will. Two things I love about G series: quiet shutter and powerful flash. I use the flash constantly in tricky lighting. Can’t wait to get my hands on a 7000/7100. Thanks for sharing you experiences and thoughts.

I love how at the end of the video you throw in a comment that points out something we all know about, but don't voice that often, like the N-eye-kon N-ick-on thing. Nerdy we know, but that's what we love about photography. By the way my go every where with me camera is my trusty Canon Powershot 120sx. Regards Rob (UK)

P means professional. I have a P5100. I even use my Nikon SB600 speedlite mounting it on the hotshoe! I use my Ricoh GR digital more now for street photography in black and white. Fast to use.

i have one since this summer, and i'm so impressed of the film look of my photos... i love it !

I have the Nikon P7800 and I love it. The mic input is pretty useful. I'm planning to do a vlog using it.

AH!! I have always shot on Nikon & absolutely loved it but I feel like you never hear their name come up in all the internet camera talk so this was really encouraging 😊💖

I still use my Canon Powershot S110 when I’m on-the-go, still produces great images and has a ton of features!

Great stuff. This video motivated me to take out the P7100 and I must say I had so much fun, that I used it more than my DSLR.

That last photo of your kid actually has great color and nice redition. Like a William Eggelston photo from his book

So glad I found you’re channel old digital cameras really are the greatest!

I haul my big DSLRs everywhere I go. You just need a bag on you and you are golden.

What a gorgeous shot to open the video!

I was looking for a small camera for daily use, but not had enough money. My friend, who is a pro photographer, recommended me to look for this camera. In my region it costs around $70-100 in good condition, but even this was too expensive for me to buy it. And then he sends me a link to this camera but only $20 because lens wasn't working. I brought it and got it just few hours ago from post. It looks much smaller than i thought (before it i owned only d3000), yesterday i'll meet my friend to give him this camera for repair, because he knows how to fix it. Looking forward to get more shots of my city and nature of my country.

Your videos here are great, and really send home the point that it isn't the camera, it is the photographer that makes great images

Love the Lauf too!

You get a thumbs up for saying Nikon the way I like.

i remembered seeing this back then. But i was in dslr land by then. The nikon d40 was ccd too. When I got the d7000 cmos the colors were flatter. Now when I bike I use the cotton carrier, can place my little nikon z30 or little panny m4/3 on my chest.

I guess I had this on my list for a reason

Great commentary! I have this camera... bought it as a "tougher" pocketable camera ages ago, and recently revived it for something my son can use.

Nice video and excellent photos! I picked up a P7000 because of this video. I'm very happy with the colors and feel of the camera. It makes for a nice every day camera. Firmware v1.2 from Nikon gives the camera more than decent auto focus. RAW write times are still on the slow side, but not bothersome to me.

I have the DSLR cousin of the P7000, the D200, and I love to shoot with it.

It takes photographs and that's about all a camera needs to do.

I bought this when it first came out. It was so laggy and very susceptible to getting dust in the front of the lens. I also had the Canon powershot S90 as well. I ended up selling the p7000 and really enjoying the s90.

I really feel inspired to take more pictures. I am almost finished with a roll in my Canon Z135. But I wish I had a more compact point and shoot.

Those jpegs looks AWESOME

I’m no longer keen carrying heavy bodies and changing lenses in my mid-seventies. But I don’t leave home without my Sony RX100 VII.

Since my comment in your Instagram reel till this moment, the prices seems kinda good, we'll see what happens in the future.

You've inspired me, bidding on a few P7000 & 7100 on Buyee now! haha

I have a Canon g11 and g16. These cameras are such powerhouses.

I always leave home without that camera.

My never leave home without camera is the Panasonic ZS100 (well it will be again when I am done with my 2024 project of carrying a different camera every week) It's the perfect Jack of All Master of none camera that can do a bit of everything in a small pocket able package. On the flip side it doesn't excel at anything. The 10x zoom on the ZS100 is a nice range but can come up short at times. It's either this or the Olympus XZ-1 if I want something with the CCD more retro feel.

Thanks for another great video James! I have a Canon G11 which is really similar, personally I find it to not be that slow and I love the JPEGs out of it! I am excited to see what you create next! :) Happy snapping

Very nice overview of the camera, thank you. I like the build quality of this series of old Nikon cameras, they feel very well made, have some quality feel. My favorite compact camera that I still regularly use is the Olympus XZ2. It features a fast zoom lens, very good optical stabilization and can take an electronic viewfinder.

My “cycling camera” is a Lumix TS7 and a Canon S120. Fits in my jersey pocket 😊

I used to have one. I wish i never sold it. I loved it dearly.

These images look great and the cam's industrial design looks like it could have been made yesterday by Fuji. A new version with fast responses would be awesome.

One thing is missing on it is the APS-C

Picked one up at a great price in great condition and I have to agree with you. It is a really nice little camera. What thumb rest do you have on it and where did you get it? I have big hands and it looks like a nice addition. I'm really a Pentax guy but this little Nikon is really sweet.

Always being ready to shoot 😊

Bought the P7000 after seeing your reel on instagram and have taken it everywhere since. Now “upgraded” to the p7100 since the other had some issues. So much fun for €50 ❤️

For my EX1 I just slap on some colour noise removal and it looks great, almost like film grain

Thanks for the video. I've been using the P7000 on overseas vacations for the last 13 years. I like taking pictures of my wife, and she taking pictures of me at various places around the world, And I like taking pictures of friends at dinners at night. The P7000 is superior by far to my Nikon A900 and Sony RX100 MkIV because unlike them, it has a decent internal flash - essential for fill-flash when my wife or I are back-lit, or at night. I did buy a sceond P7000, but unfortunately, the internal battery on both cameras died, and repair cost was quoted at A$175 (US$114) each. So I went and bought a P7800 for that amount. But I still use the cameras, despite the nuisance of having to enter the date and settings whenever I charge the battery. Despite having used the P7000 for so long, until I saw your video, I was unaware that it had an internal ND filter! Not sure how that escaped my attention, but thanks for letting me know. Regards.

lot of cool features I was using a Canon PowerShot S120 then & loved it. I still carry it for its compact size. It was the low light mini monster of its day of compacts. But I always like and use Nikon for my big stuff.

It was a high end piece of kit and still is. The build is excellent and the lens and colours are superb. Loads of features, raw images and a hot shoe. I think the viewfinder is useful. It also ties in with the camera's classic feel and look. There were packed sensors in 2010. Nikon decided to give it a modest pixel count and to break from the absurd pixel chasing which was about at the time..

I have the P7100. Same body, sensor & lens as the P7000 but with a tilt display, faster buffer & shooting times, and an extra control dial. Unfortunately the autofocus is about the same as the P7000. It's iffy even for video, and will eventually lose focus on a static subject. Bare in mind there are some things you should be aware of with both the P7000 & P7100. The lens covers can start to stick snd won't open entirely, and the LCD display can develop dead lines of pixels from heat (but eventually they will recover). As with any nikon camera I've ever used, they can freeze at any moment so keep that in mind and reinsert the battery to restore normal operation.

Were you using it with the 1.2 firmware? I'm considering this camera but this slow workflow seems like a bummer to me:(

I am looking for a compact camera, but this is probly not the camera for me, but still enjoyable to watch yr video cos of the charming and beautiful images. Thks.

This camera looks EXTREMELY similar to a Fujifilm X-Pro3!!!

Love your review

What a cool little camera. I always loved Nikon's digital offerings, from their point n shoots to the bridges. And it even has a viewfinder! I just wish it wasn't so dang pricey. That goes for nigh every 2010s digital camera, why are they so expensive on the used market anyway? Oh and great photos btw. It really is the photographer that makes the photo, God knows what I'd do with a 10mp small sensor 😅

Fantastic, I have one at home bought in 2011❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

best last ccd is d3000

Great review of the camera. Great everyday carry, compact camera that you can easily bring it with you.

Cool. I like adventure biking and taking pictures too

I briedly acquired a Nikon P5000, and what immediately leapt out at me, like the P7000 here, was how slow it was in every way. I got rid as soon as I could.

man i still have this in my basement somewhere

this is one of the best Nikon Coolpix cameras out there, the 7100 is a bit better even, for example because of it's tilting lcd screen 🙂

Beautiful photos 👌🏽

Lovely video and gorgeous shots!! Thank you!! Love how you can add a polarizer on such a compact camera!

Awesome video and really cool camera! Was pleased to see that thumb grip on there :D Used the same thing on my Canon G1X while I had it.

Wish Nikon didn't lose their soul and creativity, the x100 needs a competitor

If you liked the P7000 then you should try the Canon G-series which Nikon "copied" with the P7000 - with some improvements but also some disadvantages. I liked the G11/G12 a lot with it's adjustable LCD. It also had a 10MP CCD sensor, but you could also take a look at the newer G15 or G16 if you're OK with CMOS sensors.

I need a bag like that on my bike for compact cameras!

Congrats on 30k subs! I'd love to try this camera out even though it seems to be a near duplicate of the Canon PowerShot G series - I have the G11 and love it and "Canon G11" is the main search term driving views to my channel. Haha. Biggest difference I can tell between the cameras is the screen - Canon opted for the smaller flip-out screen. But this camera is definitely on my list for one to showcase on the channel (and most likely keep in my growing collection).

Similar configuration to the Canon G series like the G10 I have, also CCD.

I'd love something like this - with no zoom

I had that one, I now have the coolpix A as it has apc sensor. Ok

OK got myself one. Was "lightly used" but turned out to be "new" 😁

I looked up the prise history, that was a cheap camera, ended up being dirt cheap. But I've never seen these used in Norway and no longer in retailer stock. But better than a smartphone camera. For the price it's not bad. Very compact indeed.

I wonder if at some stage, you could possibly do a post on the wonderful and unusual Fujifilm x-S1 bridge camera. I would be most interested to hear your views on this anomaly in the Fuji x series lineup. They are still reasonably priced and provide excellent value for money in my opinion. Even though the X-S1 came out in 2012, it has all the ingredients for classic status. The manual zoom function is a real plus and harkens back to another age.

I've had that camera for 10 years, bringing it to my hikes, but the last few years I seldom use it because I find it too heavy and a hassle to shoot while climbing so I bought a lightweight action camera Insta360 go3 just weeks ago. Thinking I might finally retire it, I came across this video. Maybe I didn't really appreciate it because I am no photographer and didn't realize its power since I never really dabbled into it other than put it into auto picture and video mode.

I keep a nikon1 V3 with me all the time. Love to mount F glass on it.

I got an old Canon G10 that is basically the equivalent to the Nikon you’re reviewing. Unfortunately mine has been heavily used and has a lot of dust inside the lens which shows up in the sky!

Based on Snap's previous short about this camera, I picked one up from eBay, and I love it. The P7000 has a great feel to it. Mine doesn't have the thumb grip, unfortunately.

I really like the Nikon P7000. I alternate between it and the Canon G10 on a regular basis.

omg, how are you making all your photos look "dreamy"?? mine doesn't look like that :')

a camera i recomend for you that shoots incredible photos for the price is the sister of ricoh gr the ricoh caplio gx100 or 200 and the funky accesories with it like lenbs and step up yoom packed with features and for the price is a steal also its made in japan

It's a bit like the Canon G16 .. I love my G16, but did have my eye on the Nikon A, and just because Mattias Burling made it sound so good ... I have resisted so far. I do think my GAS problem has gotten worse than @one month two cameras.

I don’t leave home without my Q.

It looks like one of Canon's Powershot G series cameras.☺

I have just bought it for 57 usd 😀 Thanks to you.

You'd be happy testing the (almost) forgotten Fuji X30

Those are absolute gorgeous photos. CCD was such a great thing ... until you needed a bit more high ISO ... Still fondly using my Epson R-D1s from time to time ... but yeah, high ISO is useless

My edc is my grd from Ricoh! Love it

Heyo!! First want to thank you for introducing me to this camera found one on eBay for $70!! And loving it so far. So I did find the Filter Ring on Aliexpress where did you get the ND filters though?!

"I never leave home without this camera" - neither do I. I've been biking/hiking with the P7000 since the camera was released in 2010. I always shoot RAW and edit in ON1 Photo Raw, which cleans up the image nicely with NoNoise AI. I recently bought a second P7000 from a photographer friend for $50, which I "loaned" to my daughter for a hiking trip in the Canadian Rockies. She loves the colours, and the zoom gives her extended range over her iPhone. The macro setting is great for closeup work.

I have The Canon G9, i take it with me outdoor instead of my dslr camera.

I really like your videos. I wish you would review a modern compact like Canon G5 X Mark II. Not Sony RX100 series tho.

I’ve been wanting to pick up this camera to compare to my Fuji X10. I like more of the physical dial control on the Nikon

luvd the images

Like the old Paul Simon song "Kodachrome" it is Nikon with the long i.
