I use the P7000 since mid-August and am fully zufrieden.Die difficulties with autofocus etc what is often described here, I can not find. I do not want to go further into the P7000 but about the firmware update 1.2. I had when purchasing the firmware 1.1 on the camera. In December I installed the new firmware version 1.2 the argument that some errors of the camera were ausbebügelt. As a result, my No Name Batteries are no longer recognized and the camera works only with original Nikon batteries. Have two no name batteries of different manufacturers. After downgrading to FW. 1.1 works again all the best. So who uses no name batteries and satisfied with FW1.1 is should not install the FW1.2.
