Having worked my way through many tests and customer reviews through, I ended up ultimately in the P7100. And I must say I am very happy with it. I am an ambitious amateur photographer who makes sometimes like to own settings on the camera and not just used the automatic mode. For this, the camera is very good with its many possibilities. This means, of course, but also that you have to deal with it a little. However, the automatic mode delivers outstanding images, so that even people who just want to pull the trigger in order to cope. However, could this then, bothered by the many buttons and switches that are required for these additional functions. Long story short, the pictures look definitely great. Pleasing, I also think that the case is not made of plastic but of magnesium. Also speaking I think for the quality level of the camera.
