I Just bought one from Sunset Electronics thru Amazon - $364.95. I used a Coolpix 5700 years ago on the job and enjoyed it except that for action shots and the delay of the electronic view finder.

Went to B+H and found out it was discontinued by Nikon.

Looking forward to using it and not always lugging around my K20D, 28-80, 70-210, 200mm macro and 300mm FA.

If you're thinking of buying a 7100, don't wait.  It's been replaced
by the 7700 that doesn't have an optical viewfinder.  GS

Sure looks like it to me.

I wasn't thinking about 'another' camera till I looked at the Nikon - great
reviews also!

Just might get one.

No such luck on the Pentax P&S.  I went through four Optio series
cameras.  All wore out due to small broken parts except the OptioMX
and they are too cheap to fix.  Or should I say it's too expensive to
fix them.  The optioMX is cool in an odd sort of way, but the image
quality, good for it's day, isn't all that great.  Even if it dies,
I'll keep it around.  With it's odd shape it may be a collectors item.
 I had a lot of fun with that camera.

This photo was shot with an "old" Canon S90.  They've come out with
two or three improved versions since I bought it, but this one seems
to do well most of the time.  When you're in extreme conditions like
the dance recital you can't enlarge the photo much.  The grain at 1600
or above is the size of small pebbles.



As much as I hate to ask this ... my Canon A60 is getting a little long
in the tooth.

I think Canon was the last brand to still manufacture a compact P&S
camera with a *REAL* viewfinder. Does anyone know what that last
viewfinder
equipped Canon P&S was?

Or other suggestions for a compact P&S with a viewfinder?

Could be an electronic viewfinder for all I care, as long as I don't
have to hold the damn thing out at arms length to try and compose a
photograph on the little TV screen on the back.
