Nikon P7000 for $249 – Deal Alert
This is a 50% savings on the Nikon P7000, which retails for $500. At the time of this post, Amazon has the P7000 for $249.
Considering the spec sheet, the P7000 is probably worth the $250 price point; however, it’s not a camera that I can fully recommend – unless you can really live with the slow speed.
The newer P7100 is a much better camera, but you’ll pay more for it as well. You can find my P7100 review here.
