I have a Nikon CoolPix P7700 point and shoot (P&S) that I’m reasonably happy with. It was purchased used at a very low cost from a disgruntled photographer who wanted to sell all of her photographic gear. The purchase price was $100.
I say reasonably happy, and not fully happy because of its following shortcomings:

I say reasonably happy, and not fully happy because of its following shortcomings:
- It does not have an electronic view finder (EVF). I’ve had many experiences that the LCD screen is completely washed out with a back light and the image bracketing and focus requires guesswork. Forget about trying to alter the cameras parameters in sunlight.
- The same with dark conditions – it’s hard to see the image.
- It needs higher ISO capabilities.
- The lens needs more dynamic range (more Fstops).
- During burst mode photography the LCD screen blanks out making any action scenes impossible to follow.
- A P&S without an EVF is unsteady while holding it at arms length. Viewing through an EVF stabilizes the camera, particularly if you can hold the camera against your head.
- The CMOS sensor may not be a good as a full DSLR or perhaps it’s the firmware controlling the image. Most S&Ps have a higher noise ratio at low light that a fully blown (and more expensive) DSLR.
- It stifles creativity...you must work within its parameters or the shutter will not trigger.

I just got a new point-and-shoot camera for travel. It is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000.
It has a relatively large 1" sensor, a zoom lens (25-400mm-35mm equivalent), hot shoe, a 3" LCD screen, an electronic viewfinder, and can film 4K. It looks like a mini DSLR.
I still prefer my full size Canon SLR cameras, but the camera bodies and multiple lenses are very, very heavy, especially when I carry them on our trips.
I hope to use this new camera for travel. I'll be taking the camera to the Detroit Auto show that Buckeye Sue and I are attending next weekend..

Nope, we won't be there with the reporters.
By "next weekend," goblueS2K meant the weekend of Jan 17-18.
Will you be there with the reporters? The public opening is 17-25.
