For detailed specifications, please click -->http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product-Archive/Compact-Digital-Cameras/COOLPIX-P7000.html
This camera is in its original box with its original printed manual, neck strap, software, battery, and charger, plus a bunch of never-used-still-in-the-bag cords and cables (I use a card reader for uploads). It has a 4-gig SD card. The camera has been reset to factory defaults. It has had one owner/user--me, and I've treated it kindly. It does have some cosmetic issues. It was my primary until I acquired a P7100, when it went to backup status, but now I have a P7800 so the P7000 sits completely idle. It's a fine instrument and deserves to have more use.
I do not know how many pictures it's made, but it's probably under 15,000. I would certainly expect it to have many thousands more in it.
The camera does have a quirk, common to all the P7000's: the blades over the lens that function as a lens cap do not completely open when the camera is turned on. The user must flick the blades fully open with a fingernail or they will vignette at the widest angle. Thousands of these cameras were irately returned to Nikon demanding to be fixed, but I never bothered since it was so easy to get into the habit of flicking the blades open. You will clearly see it in the photos below.
While a compact with a 1/1.7 CCD, it is a very capable camera, offering full manual control, RAW capture, scene modes, shutter, aperture, and program automation. I got it in 2011 to "help" capture my son's wedding. If you glance at these you'll get an idea of this little powerhouse's abilities: https://www.flickr.com/photos/43619751@N06/sets/72157627769427291/ (All made as original jpegs, PP'd in PSE-4.)
The camera when new sold for around $450 U.S. I'd like to get $180 for it, plus shipping.

The blades of the "lens cap" are sagging in this picture. If you forget to "flick" them fully open there will be a slight vignetting at the top and bottom of the picture.

The blades of the "lens cap" are sagging in this closeup. If you toggle between this and the next picture you will see the "fix."

Here the blades have been gently "flicked" with a fingertip so they spring back out of the way. This must be done each time the camera is turned on, but it becomes routine.

Incidentally, the camera used to make these pictures is my P7800, with a 1/1.7 CMOS sensor.

A Nikon P7000 was my first introduction to "serious" advanced compacts. It is a fine camera and, at Chuck's $180 asking price, a great bargain. Like Chuck I was impressed enough with the basic design to buy the P7800 when it became available. Don't think anyone would go wrong with this.

Thank you, Rjay. I just hate the thought of this camera eventually dying of disuse, but I just don't use it any more. I hope someone will give it a new home! :)
Don'tcha just love the EVF on the P7800? It's why I bought it. I skipped over the P7700. I don't like a camera with no viewfinder. The "tunnel" optical finders on the earlier models came in handy sometimes, especially in blinding sun or following a moving subject, but the EVF is the "nuts," as a friend used to say. :lol:
