This year I bought a Nikon Coolpix 5200, very similar to the 7900 but with less resolution (5.1 MP)
I'm not a camera expert, but I can tell you some impressions I had
- It's very easy to use, the 15 scene modes are really great!
- Fast picture taking, not that fast but ok for me... on the other hand it does took a while to record some pictures, i.e. night pictures
- Overall it's a good camera, nice videos, nice features, great zoom, the battery last a lot... the only problem I see is that the LCD is really small
here, I can show you some pics I took (unfortunatelly they're all on 3.1 MP, I only take shots on that res)
