Nikon P7000 has problems.

My Nikon P7000 decides to do some calisthenics. Note that after turning it on, I never push or turn anything else. Good thing I had my trusty Nikon D50 along for the trip, too. The P7000 came back to life later in the day, but I did nothing to make that happen. Has not done this in several uses since.

do you think this camera has a good auto focus though? meaning is it fast and accurate?

[imfiver]

@bkajanetty I don't own the camera anymore, but when I did, the autofocus had to hunt a lot before it finally found focus, and often it never did. Sometimes it would try five times and then reboot the camera. All of this is also well-documented by other users on dpreview.com, in the Nikon Forum.

Paying $500 for that junk? I did myself too.... so shame...

[imfiver]

@jefflee9662 It was a gift, so I didn't actually spend any money, but I sent it back because it just wasn't dependable and was very sluggish when changing settings, etc.

did you send it back??

[imfiver]

@macatack71 Yes, I sent it back. Very happy with my Canon Powershot S95. Not as big a zoom range, but much smaller and a mature product that performs as expected, not slowly and unpredictably like the P7000.

@WTHitzel My wife was using her Canon Powershot A560 or A590IS. Can't remember which.
