Hey, I am wondering how many like jpop here? I've been listening to a lot of BoA and I have a few other favorites. Anyone have any favorites or ones they don't like?
I love Astrik by Orange Range
The Greatest Clan In Death and Universe... The Zombaukto Clan
me 2, thats bleach's first opener
Wow people are responding! I first started liking J-pop when I started watching Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network. I did a search and found out what j-pop is. I now have T.M Revolution CDs and one by Megumi Hayashibara.
t.m. revolution did the ending to rurouni kenshin, heart of the sword. they are a good band. recently i was watching another anime but i can't remember which one it was that had one of there songs as a opening/ending. it might have been gundam 00 or maybe fma but i might be mistaken. and i like the ballad version of northern lights by megumi hayashibara. there is a cool amv of enishi yukishiro from rurouni kenshin ova that uses that song.
i couldn't find the amv so maybe youtube deleted it
My favorite site to go to is www.animelyrics.com/ It has the lyrics of anime songs and jpop songs as well as flash videos. It's free to join and you can add all the videos and songs you like to a song box. I go out there at least a few times a week.
i'll check it out. a site i like to use is imeem.com
I listen to a lot of j-pop music while my brother listens to j-rock. I don't mind it but I prefer something I can dance to or a softer beat.
i think i'm j-rock. i like orange range, uverworld, l'arc-en-ciel..but i do like listening to j-pop as well. i'm usually introduced 2 a band through anime and then if i like em i go on the internet and try to find more of their songs.
if you have audiocy you can take a j rock song and make it faster into a dansable j rock song The Greatest Clan In Death and Universe... The Zombaukto Clan
*raises hand* I LOVEZ IT! you should check out Ami Suzuki and hitomi theres too many other great artists to choose from0.o and if you like BoA then you should also check out K-pop its just as good as J-pop:D You Are My Sweetest Downfall♥
i have a lot of faveslike asian kung-fu generationkimerugirugameshand many more ^_^
sorry but... *sigh* whats j-pop
It's Japanese pop music. A lot of the songs you hear at the end of anime's are j-pop songs.
what then why did you even join this site if you dont know what j pop or j rock is
The Greatest Clan In Death and Universe... The Zombaukto Clan
Well I didn't know what j-pop was until I did research? Not everyone who is into anime is going to know.
I like it sounds great
I liked tmrevolution, i hear he's making a comeback. I like fiction junction Yuuka, Yui, and Nami Tamaki. I'm More into Jrock though."Prepare to be slaughtered."

Street Fighter needs Manga's help; a live-action movie is being made as we speak. What's the problem? Look what happened last time they made a live action SF movie! It was completely wrong! Manga, will you create another anime SF movie? The fate of those movies depends on it!!
I am all for SF to be made in real movie if Kylie Minogue starrs in it again.. but actually I dont really like live-action movie made from manga because it is just not the same!! I just about to tolerate manga to be made into anime these days.. Hollywood never gets it right
Do you even know who the movie's about? Chun Li! Yeah, I was surprised as well.
Yeah, I hope the live action movie will be actually good this time...I also hope that the next (if there is one) Street Fighter anime will be better made.Alpha Generations? In my opinion, the art was bad and focused again on Ryu and Akuma... like, can't you talk about the OTHER fighters too?It can easily be better. I'm still waiting for a good one... ---"What do you see in front of your fists?"
i have seen the live-action version, I can't wait for the second movie about chun-li. She's my favorite character in the videogame. And vega too because he's very sexy. ^__^
One thing the street fighter needs to understand is that The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!! but the show is being over extended and some new blood is definitely needed to reawaken the monster story line which has had some place in our shelves for sometime even though they may have gathered dust .... The path to conquest leaves nothing to be desired for the eternal salvation of the phsical being leaves only an empty space within which the soul of a demon can be born....

Lancaster County Capital Sales Tax Commission members have begun parsing the details of public proposals and comments gathered over the past month that will help determine the future of the county's 1 cent capital project sales tax.
Denyse Clark
Lancaster City Council heard numerous requests at its Tuesday, May 27, meeting, ranging from giving furniture to a neighboring law enforcement agency to a chance for local residents to become homeowners.
Police Chief Harlean Howard approached council with a request to transfer used furniture from the Municipal Justice Center on Arch Street to the Pageland Police Department.
An unnamed company has the potential to bring significant investment and jobs to the county, though the exact nature of the company is still unknown.
During its May 19 meeting, Lancaster County Council discussed the preliminary framework for a fee agreement between the county and the company, which is currently only known publicly by the code name "Project L." The specifics of what the company manufactures or where it would be located were not discussed.

Since April 1993, Lancaster Police Department officers have had some leeway in issuing "careless driving" tickets instead of a charge with more serious ramifications, but that policy came to a screeching halt at the Lancaster City Council meeting Tuesday, May. 14.
District 44 Rep. Mandy Powers Norrell's sexual assault education bill passed final reading in the S.C. House on Thursday, May 1. She posted the following message to Facebook after the vote.

PAGO PAGO, American Samoa (AP) - Government attorneys are asking a federal court in Washington, D.C., to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of laws denying automatic U.S. citizenship to people born in American Samoa.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Wynne Kelly told the court in a brief filed this month that the plaintiffs are attempting to sidestep Congress' power to determine the naturalization process.
One American Samoa-born plaintiff in the lawsuit filed in July says he wanted to enter law enforcement in California but couldn't because he isn't a citizen.
American Samoans have long debated the citizenship issue.
Legal experts say the entire U.S. Constitution would have to apply in the territory if people born in American Samoa received citizenship at birth. They say this would prevent certain communal land ownership rules, such as favoring those with Samoan blood.

Nikon Coolpix P7000 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Your Comments
109 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
Is the RAW handling issue something that can be handled with a firmware or software update, or is one pretty much stuck with this issue for the life of the camera?
Mark: more of a question than a comment. I own a G11. The "thumbwheel" control on the back has such a soft feel that I can accidentally change settings without realizing / without wanting to. Same for the couple of buttons on the back. There is just no real estate on the back of the G11 for a normal sized thumb and I end up holding it like a dainty teacup instead of a camera.
The Nikon appears to have a space on the back for your thumb. So my question is do the thumbwheel and buttons have a good, firm feel?
The RAW processing time is a bit of a conundrum as well. I don't need another "raw processor" that doesn't work with anything I use (like the Fuji HS10 when it first came out…)
Great review. It's really a help.
Looking good, mine is on its way, suppposed to be here tomorrow. Since I never shoot raw, those issues don't bother me.
I will be using this camera exclusively to carry to the new product show events I cover, which are always in a big auditorium or hotel conference rooms. I need something small and relatively light to carry with me on all my travels, but that will take good .jpg's at high ISO's and have the ability to set white balance manually and use an accessory flash.
Since I have a lot of other Nikon equipment and flashes anyway, this should do the trick for me and will save a lot of weight and space, rather than carrying my D200 with 18-200VR lens. I'll be trying my P7000 with the SB-400 and 600 flashes and I'll be at a big trade show in 3 weeks, so that will be its first real workout! Looking forward to it, thanks for the encouraging review.
Well £450 is just a joke really.
I was very excited and look forward to get the camera till I read about how slow it take to write a RAW file! My Coolpix 8400 behave the same! Come on Nikon, after all those years you still can't fix that? Look like Canon G12 is a better choice? It is a real blow to all the Nikon fan!
Working for 25 years with nikon professional and owner of D3 & D3x & D700 and for the first time a point and shoot the P7000 now for more than a week !
And I can tell you that this is a small beast!!! you need to learn the camera first and get amazing results !!!
Well done Nikon !
Mr Rothengatter, with due respect; how do you "learn" to make the RAW file load faster so you don't miss the next shot?
Quite an expensive compact camera which is rather useless for
RAW shooting. The viewfinder is a bit of a dogs breakfast too.
I do enjoy my NIKON DSLR but I would not touch any NIKON
compacts. There are more exciting offerings around.
Okay, in my case I have no problems with it. Never shoot quickly moving objects ;-) always used the "single" mode on my camera's
After 2 weeks, I like the overall feeling & quality of this superb small camera!
It's my opinion!
Good answer! Thanks Peter.
I have it for a week now, and really love it.
The slow raw write speed doesn't really bother me, but I agree that this should be improved. I wonder if this could be solved in a future firmware update or that this is a hardware issue.
I particularly like the image quality, it's really dSLR "neutral" with the right settings. Also the ergonomics are pretty good, although I feel the clickwheel "clicks" a bit too easy for my taste.
I feel it is the best companion to my trusty D700.
Oh and FWIW, Bibble will soon have P7000 support as well.
It's about time Nikon made something in the line of the G11 class. It seems to have a few advantages over the G11, namely the zoom. As I always shoot in RAW the slow RAW write of this camera would make it a 'not interested' on that feature alone. I use my G11 mainly when I am climbing mountains and waiting for the camera to finish its business is just a no go. This is the reason I replaced my Ricoh GX100 (a superb camera other than its slow RAW write) with the G11. If you think that waiting 10 or so seconds after a shot is being a bit anal then let me remind you that when I am shooting a mountain climb I take 300 or so pix. It adds up to quite a delay (take out camera, switch-on, wait for lens to extend, aim, focus, shoot, write, switch-off, wait for lens to retract, return camera to inner jacket x300).
I have no doubt that users will be pleased and I do aim to trial one my self, just to see how it compares with my G11. My most negative comment would be that it just looks like a G9/10/11/12 clone.
Got mine yesterday, first impressions are that this is definitely not your average digicam, it's a "pro" compact for sure. The average user would be instantly overwhelmed by the buttons, dials and customization available on this thing.
I sat down with the (printed!) manual last night and it is going to take some time to wade through it.
Quick impressions are that:
1) the photos are outstanding, lower noise than my D200 or D70.
2) White balance is much, much more accurate than my DSLR Nikons, which have always given me fits, even in the studio and even when manually white balancing (they seem inconsistent). Even the auto WB on the P7000 is accurate under my weird kitchen and other room flourescent lights.
3)The LED screen on the back is amazing, super high resolution, way, way better than either of the DSLRs, which are very small and never give an accurate representation of the photos, causing me to sometimes use incorrect settings for the photos because it doesn't look right in the display. The P7000 display is probably at least twice the size of the D200. My next DSLR better have a screen like this!
4) Lots and lots of buttons and dials on the P7000. It makes it difficult to hold the camera and if the camera is on, when I pick it up, I end up pressing some button. The left side is especially difficult to hold, because the display dominates the entire left back of the camera, plus I can't "pinch" the side because the flash is at the upper left. I guess I will get used to it, but there isn't a lot of real estate for fingers on this camera, they could have actually made it bigger.
5) It definitely has Nikon genes and feels like a pro miniature version of a Nikon. I do think it will suit my purposes beautifully, a small compact camera for use on the road in the product shows and events I cover for a website.
Haven't tried the SB-400 yet with it, will do that today and will also compare studio shots under the same lighting/exposure conditions with my DSLRs.
bought this in NYC and it was a nightmare. My comments:
1. It is far too slow at writing, even in fine jpg. I missed all my street shots.
2. The screen kept on going black and the only way I could even close the camera lens was to take the battery out and put it back again and then push the on off again (battery was fully charged).
3. The FN button did not work
4. The av/tv button did not work
5. Changing the aperture by twirling the dial thing at the back often got me into a different menu altogether - and I have small hands. I found myself re-doing the same steps all the time to achieve a simple change of aperture.
6. The eye view finder was next to useless.
7. I read and read the manual and still could not work it all out - I do believe there may have been an electronic fault as I own a DX, D3, D2H, and a D40x and have no problems with operating them. If Nikon had a proper worldwide warranty, I might have stuck with it and hoped for a firmware update or exchange here in the UK.
8. I have a 3 year ricoh GRII that has better response times and produces excellent images. I think I will see what else ricoh has to offer
What Steph and Zigster confirmed that:
1. File writing is indeed slow, forget about capturing the decisive moment ;) That is kind of disappointing since Nikon claimed this is like a mini pro camera.
2. Next to useless view finder but great LCD screen.
3. Confusing menu?
4. Lack of space to hold the camera properly without pushing some buttons accidentally.
5.Perfect for "product shots" ;)
Should I still buy one?
no - you are transferring your wish to something that is not. Like I did.
Much appreciate, Steph; like you I will look somewhere else :( Cheers
@C.Y.Leow - Its not bad at capturing the decisive moment if you try to get it on the first shot. Its actually quite responsive, taking the pic right when you click the shutter release button if its not locked up writing. I tend to think of it to be similar in shot to shot as my old manual advance camera (if I really wanted I could advance in less than a second and recompose, but in reality I would take one shot at a time, pause, advance and take another shot). If I adjust my raw write expectations accordingly, then its a great camera. Now, should I have to adjust my expectations, no, but some of us can and for some its a deal breaker.
I do hope they can do something about it in a firmware update…
@David - thanks for your advice! I had the same experience when using the Coolpix 8400 :) It is all about timing… may be I go and try one out at the shop.
How do You update a non existing buffer? There is more
bad news, if You care reading dpreview's 'Nikon forum'. Quite a few
people have serious 'focus issues' with P7k and are not happy. I cannot
comprehend why a company like Nikon has failed to produce a
decent high quality compact camera so far! There are rumours that
Nikon has an 'EVIL' camera in the pipeline. Not sure how long I want
to wait for that.
I do not own a Canon G10/11/12, but am considering buying the new Nikon P7000.
After reading this review and the 20 comments above, I ask those who know: does a Canon G11/12 writes RAW files faster than the Nikon P7000 (single shot and burst mode) ?
I just want to say that I really wanted to love this camera as I am a Nikon user through and through. However even the first shot was missed because IT DID NOT FOCUS FAST ENOUGH. In fact, unless the subject was still, all shots were out of focus. As I said before, I came to the conclusion that the camera was faulty, and due to Nikon's poor warranty policy worldwide, I had to return it. I used to have a contax T2 and it was amazing. Now, something like that with zoom capabilities? Re the canon G12, it has a less sophisticated focusing than the Nikon P7000 and is bulkier. But if it works?
So sad.. I want to use Nikon too! My daughter's Canon G7 focus really well and fast :(
Here's my problem with this review: I don't think the images are good. They are soft and grainy, and the colors are either blah or crass, depending on how much light there was when the photo was taken. The softness in particular is disturbing. Indeed, I think that "blurry" is a better word. But what's even more disturbing is that this reviewer thinks these are good images! With so many better cameras out there—the Micro 4/3 cameras with large sensors, and the Sigma cameras which produce images with such amazing sharpness—there is no longer any reason why a reviewer should give his stamp of approval to any point-and-shoot camera with a small sensor, a poor-quality build-in lens, and an over-aggressive processing engine.
I would check out this link from Nikonians that has comments and images from others who have used the camera. The RAW issue is discussed but the images posted there are excellent.
Jesus, what a lot of stupid comments!
There are a lot of people on DPreview who wants to tackle Nikon with false reviews, while they never touch a nikon P7000, so watch out!
I'm a professional nikon photographer working over 30 years with nikon and own also D700/D3/D3x so I know what people should expect from a PS-camera from 499 dollar.
I'm using this P7000 (my first P&S) now for two weeks and even I have to learn a lot to customize this amazing good camera for it's money!
You can find the first examples in my DP gallery at: http://forums.dpreview.com/Galleries/3436465746/photos
Nex week there will follow a lot more and I'll make some studio shots with the P7000.
Remember this: for it's money it's the best P&S you can get at this time!
I agree with you.
I don't mean any disrespect, but there seems to be a tendency to denigrate Nikon ... and promote Canon instead ...
Saying that Nikon P90 or P100 do not offer the best possible images is believable (I own a P90), but attacking this new P7000 seems unwarranted: I also do not believe that, if used properly, Nikon P7000 focuses less fast than other P&S, or that the pictures are not good. (the pics I've seen are excellent !).
The only real issue seems to be the slow shot-to-shot RAW shooting. The slow RAW write time is an issue with a camera such as Fujifilm HS10 (which I also own), using a 1/2.3" (6.16mm x 4.62mm, 0.28cm²) CMOS sensor, and, I believe it is expected to be an issue with all cameras using small (CCD or CMOS) sensors, either 1/2.7" or 1/2.3".
If you know, please tell us, is this slow writing time is a serious issue with cameras such as Canon G10/11/12 ?
I dont see that anyone is denigrating Nikon. Peter - I went on your gallery, but every shot I clicked on was taken with a pro body - after a while I gave up clicking. For the record, I am also a pro and know what to expect from a point and shoot that has been promoted as a spare/travel/whatever for the pro and serious enthusiast. And I spent three whole days with this camera. Yes, it was probably faulty. But then again, maybe not. It is nice though to have someone's input who has used the product, as you have. It is also nice to let people have their opinions without calling them stupid!
Mr. Rothengatter, in Your last post You sound like 18 year old
fan boy who just bought his first point and shoot camera and tells
the world what they should expect for $499! Quite a few experienced
photographers seem to have a different take on the P7k than You and they all made
stupid comments? I find Your comments not exactly very bright. As an 'experienced
photographer', as You claim to be, You probably should know that 'photography
is a complex field with a wide variety of different forms which create different needs
for different people. I don't buy the P7k for my reasons and they are valid ( for me ).
Yes, of course I had an overeactedenthousiastic feeling about the p7000, and it still is…. I called some of the reactions stupid, not the people behind it, so excuse, if you felt attacked.
There might be the reason for my enthousiasm that I personaly like this camera so much because it's the first good p&s Nikon build after the 28Ti analog :-)
To P.R. I am happy You enjoy the P7k. It can indeed produce good
quality images. I shoot RAW only and for that reason alone the P7k
is not the right camera for me. I use Nikon SLR's and DSLR's and hope
that Nikon will produce a high quality 'EVIL' camera for low key street
photography with a quicker RAW buffer ( dreamy dreams ). Anyway,
enjoy Your new toy and happy shooting. Hans
Look like I will have to convince someone to loan me one for some real world tests before I plonk down my hard earned cash!
Pity i do not work for Nikon ;)
Hmm. I cant wait untill they do a comparison with the Canon G12, Nikon P7000, Samsung EX1, and panasonic LX5….
RAW Performance - Single Shot (shot-to-shot time)
Approximate Comparison
- Nikon P7000 (PhotographyBlog): 5sec
- Canon G11 (DPReview): 2.9sec (*)
Mark, I am afraid the P7000 is worst than you describe it. Here is the review I posted in my blog (http://giannigalassi.typepad.com/blog/2010/10/137-nikon-p7000-review.html
Let me make it clear: this is a real-world review, based on my personal opinions (right or wrong) and on visual evaluations of the files. No test charts involved here, no MTF measurements. As for the photographs, they are out-of-camera jpgs (I don't shoot RAW anymore, so I'm not interested) viewed on a calibrated LaCie 321 monitor. This review only refers to the specimen in my possession.
Keep in mind that my approach to the P7000 is deeply biased by my two-years positive experience with the Canon G10. Therefore as soon as I unboxed the Nikon I could't help noticing that it weighs less than it looks. I was expecting a sturdy and rugged unit like the Canon. As a matter of fact most authoritative experts and reviewers have pointed up in the last weeks that the P7000 is almost a clone of its rival Canon G11, since both share the same sensor and size, as well as most features and specifications. Somebody even ironically calls it "Powershot P7000".
The lesser weight is easily explained: whereas the top and the front plates are metal made, the bottom and the back are pure plastic. I know, it should be called "polycarbonate", but I'm totally allergic to all those press-release-style euphemisms, like "globalization" instead of exploitation, "new economy" instead of piecework, "creative finance" instead of fraud or "outsourcing" instead of subcontract. Fact is that despite its semipro-compact ambitions, the P7000 feels slightly plasticky. The three knobs on the top don't click firmly enough and tend to get inadvertently rotated, the wheelpad on the back is flimsier than in a $ 200 point&shoot; and the battery/card compartment cover is simply shameful. Briefly a very good design, both ergonomically and aesthetically (the camera is indeed goodlooking), spoilt by inadequate materials and manufacturing. Paradoxically, the P7000 lacks the gorgeous ruggedness of the Nikon pro and semipro DSLRs, and inherits the poor and unreassuring tactile experience of the Canon semipro and entry-level ones.
As soon as the "on" button is pressed, the unit is ready to shoot. And the 921.000 dots lcd monitor is a real treat: big, clear and crisp enough to venture a picture evaluation. Menus are well organized and easily understood, as usual at Nikon's. Nothing to do with the insane and obscure literature found in Canon's G series. The viewfinder is definitely more accurate than the one of my G10, but the latter is bigger and slightly clearer. The three control knobs are clever and very well positioned. Especially the exposure compensation dial: your forefinger and thumb naturally "fall" on it, making the expose-to-the-right job an easy task. By the way, whereas the istogram remains visible after focusing, the (very welcome) electronic spirit level inexplicably disappears. I don't know about you, but I definitely don't have a steady hand, so I'd find a permanent level really helpful. I hope this issue will be addressed in an upcoming firmware update.
Speaking of focus, the P7000 has big troubles in focusing on bright sunny surfaces, even when they are well textured. In my one-day test, I experienced at least one focus failure over eight attempts. Three times the LCD screen got gray and a warning appeared to advice me that the lens was getting re-initialized. I have never seen anything like that before. It's a fault that Nikon MUST take care of. All the more so because, this shortcoming apart, the P7000 would be a fast and reactive camera, very suitable for street photography.
What about picture quality? A camera is all about taking photographs, after all. Well, the Nikon P7000 delivers too contrasty images with a low noise level. In my opinion (I'm not an engineer) the overcontrast is due to an inherent lack of dynamic range. I noticed that the exposure meter has serious troubles in keeping the highlights within the clipping threshold. In other words, to avoid highlights burning, I had to underexpose (up to 1 IL and more) most of the shots I took during the test, whereas the G10 easily managed the same shots with no tweaking. Of course the underexposure caused a severe darkening of the lowlights. As I said, noise is low enough, and has that pleasant Nikon "feeling": it's more luminance than chroma, and looks like film grain. The (optional) geometric distortion in-camera correction is nothing less than effective, and the lateral chromatic aberration is superbly controlled (G10's LCA is inexcusable). The corners too obviously lack crispness.
My conclusion: at its pre-Photokina introduction the P7000 looked very promising to me (http://giannigalassi.typepad.com/blog/2010/09/nikon-p7000.html). Does it match those expectations? Frankly, no. Despite its being two years behind the competition, it's an unaccomplished product. And an overpriced one, too. If a Canon G11 is sold for $ 460, the P7000 is worth no more than $ 350. Too bad for Nikon and, most of all, too bad for buyers.
Gianni - I just want to back up your findings with the specimen I had in my unscientific possession. I also experienced the focus problem in clear light, also the lens initializing problem and grey screen. After this happened, my camera became un-responsive and I could not even close the lens. Removing the battery and re-inserting it resolved the issue. I also had problems with the battery compartment flying open - I put this down to the fact that I had to re-insert the battery so often that I may have forgotten to close it properly sometimes. I underexposed to avoid clipping highlights by 2/3 stop. I was not enamoured with the way you twiddled the wheels on the back to change settings - I kept on landing in different menus if I applied the wrong kind of pressure. I do not see this as a street camera as you can not shoot while the camera is writing and it writes slowly, even on jpeg only setting! So, I retract previous statements that I may have had a faulty camera - it was clearly representative of the model. I do think however, battery compartment aside, all these problems could be resolved with a firmware update. I just do not understand how Nikon can release a product that clearly is so buggy, and with such fanfare.
Simple question…
In a vacuum…do you go with the new Canon G12 or the Nikon P7000…
Having trouble deciding, loved my Canon G7, but it didn't love getting dropped in the sand. So I'm in the market…
Nicholas - I am in a vacumm too. This is going to sound strange, but after reading about the G12 and the canon powershot S95, I decided that the S95 suited my needs better. They are very similar - read the review on this site and the comparison on digitalrev - http://www.digitalrev.com/en/canon-powershot-g12-vs-g11-vs-s95-comparison - I realized that I need a real, very discrete, point and shoot sometimes, and for the rest I shall probably go four thirds with a GH2. If you don't mind a bit of bulk, by all means buy the G12. For me the portability of the S95 wins out, with few downsides next to the G12. I have ordered one, and if anyone is interested I shall report in my non-scientific fashion.
After more than 3 weeks I own the Nikon P7000 now I like this camera more and more…. I'll link todays photo's soon and watch :-)
Stephanie -
Thanks for the link and the input…
Now there is a third in the mix. One I am unfamiliar with, but needs to be considered nonetheless.
Now it's G12, P7000 or S95, in a vacuum…?
The Vacuum is getting bigger.
Here's one studio test with the P7000 with broncolor studioflash and radiotriggering in manual setting:
Peter Rothengatter
I had a P7000 for a few days before returning it. There was a lot I liked about the camera, especially the low-light performance. I thought that was pretty amazing. But, as I shoot only in RAW, the slow response time was extremely frustrating, causing me to miss shots. Some outdoor shots were overexposed and needed work in an image-editing program. If Nikon can fix this problem with a firmware update, then the camera is clearly a winner for me and I'd buy another.
Ken Rockwell did testing the p7000 too!
That's interesting. After reading Ken's review I know why I couldn't get the buttons/ menus to respond properly. Interestingly, he opts to use the canon S95 instead. Waiting for mine to arrive.
I have been using this camera for a couple of weeks. Image quality is excellent. Control and setting are excellent too. All perfect, as long as you shoot jpeg. Raw files are only supported by nikon view or capture nx. In addition, when sooting raw it takes ages to save the file on the memory card, so I gave up and shooting only jpeg, which is not the reason why I bought this camera.
Nikon, please update the firmware!
And Nikon have the cheek to tell the world this is good enough for the pros? I really doubt a firmware update can fix the slow RAW write!
There are a lot of conflicting opinions here. Some say the camera has too many flaws and return it. Some say it's great and they love it. It has been called Nikons greatest compact P&S. When I see this many conflicting comments I have to wonder. There are even a lot of negative comments towards the Canon G-series and this isn't a Canon review. So many of you are pros shooting $2000+ cameras in your work. Is it possible your expectations are unreasonable for what amounts to a $499 pocketable backup camera? I have been awaiting this camera for some time. I had hoped that there would be a consensus to help me decide but I'm not getting one here. I can't help but think that if this camera was
evaluated as Nikon's Best Compact and not a Pro users alternative, maybe the comments might have
been more favourable.
In the two days I thoroughly tested the camera, there was much to like. I did notice (besides the slow RAW write)that the occasional outdoor shot had weird lighting - somewhat overexposed with odd colours. Indoor shots were great and I loved the low-light performance. So little noise at high ISO's - better than the Canon G11 I had last year.
I think Nikon's promo of the P7000 by using a pro and the way he praised the P&S came back and bite them ;) Like WillieV commented, yes; among all Nikon's compact, this is their best but obviously it is NOT a pro users alternative. In that respect Canon started the "game" by using well know photo agency "VII" to promote their G series ;)
for those "masters of disaster" photographers who shoot only RAW,[hahahahaha] remember photography is one thing and photoshoping is another. first learn to to take pictures, and then judge technological feats like pk7 and g12.
That's pretty rude, Andreas. Also shows a complete lack of understanding of what RAW is and how good photographers use it - most pros shoot in RAW nowadays. Try it before you bash it. With a good RAW shot, I do very little in Photoshop - just minor tweaks, but if the white balance is off in tricky lighting, it's correctable.
Comment like this strikes some RAW nerves ;) Obviously Andreas have no idea what RAW is about.
Call me old school, but I'm sending up a yellow flag on this otherwise appealing Nikkie ( I use a 2 year old Coolpix 5100 presently ). What I see lacking is a tiny aperture. Am I wrong when read the specs and the lens only stops down to f/5.6 and no further ? I saw a note where it uses built-in Neutral Density filters to knock back the light, which to me seems counterintuitive from a company known for its excellent optics.
I really do need Depth of Field on many occasions , and I feel lack of a minimum aperture of at least f/11 or better yet f/16 is a serious design oversight.
I guess my ideal digital camera hasn't been made yet, by Nikon or anyone else. It would most resemble a late 1950's Nikon SP rangefinder camera with an LCD but retaining the fabulous parallax corrected multifocal optical rangefinder as well, and interchangeable lenses. It's the Leica M-style camera that Nikon based the first Nikon F reflex on, and I miss it.
That f5.6 fiasco can only mean two thing:
1) Nikon found that above f5.6 the lens have so much CA that it is pointless to go to f8.
2) Nikon trying to hide a zoom lens of dubious quality by using ND filters!
Come on Nikon, you disappointed all your loyal fans / users!
Hey technicians, it's
f8.0 instead of f5.6 and it's
normal with these type of sensor size / zoom combinations, so don't worry and I'm after almost 4 weeks very happy with the P7000 !
oh, forgotten, there are several posts about this matter on dpReview like:
As per CAcreeks comment at dpreview and i quote:
"Until evidence to the contrary, I think we can assume the P7000 is like other P&S cameras in that it uses an ND filter rather than a diaphragm to achieve "f/8" aperture."
Is that true, Mr Nikon ;) Technically, there are no f8?
I can understand why you defend nikon, because you work for them ;)
I was trying to get Nikon to loan me a P7000 to do a "Real World Test" but they are not interested.
With all the negative response, I am not gonna splash out NZ$800 to BUY one!
Lots of varied opinions here!!!
I tend to agree with Rockwell's ten commandments condensed into ONE and that is: "it's the taking of the photo and not the CAMERA!"
These days the ball-park figure of around US$420-440 for the P7K does not seem overly expensive. Remember the audio is pretty good too.
If it's size and IQ that you are after, perhaps there are better small cameras out there like the M9, X100 GF1/2, or whatever…but the P7K is neither small or light, say like the F200EXR which leads me to say that choosing a camera is a very personal thing.
No single feature like noise, RAW speed, or weight is ever going to be THE deciding factor unless that is the MAIN interest. Then obviously for the other features, compromises will have to be accepted or rejected.
If you can use this or any other camera to YOUR satisfaction, then it's to YOUR credit and you take the cake because you are SUITED in style, ability and experience to the hard/soft-ware. Sensor-size, ease of use and colour renditions etc etc, are ALL personal preferences as well. One could use a Leica M9 Titanium and mortgage the house for it, and STILL make a hash of one's pictures. So cool it you guys. Everything has it's strength and weaknesses.
If I was interested in dropping money for this camera, I'd wait till at least the Gen II. There is NO RUSH. Unless your next meal depends on it, a camera is a camera is a camera.
I was ready to use my paying card
for the new Nikon P 7000 in my local store.
But after descovering the cameras slow RAW-process, I went for a Canon Powershot S 95 instead.
My S 95 is fast, accurate and gives me wonderful
manual control. I don´t regret my decision.
And the S 95 produces wonderful pictures.
Just bought the Canon S95 too and it's great. Small enough to put in a shirt pocket, but loaded with useful features and the RAW shooting is reasonably quick. Fast lens, so great for low-light shooting. I think the next version of the Nikon P7000 will be vastly improved and I look forward to checking it out as i think Nikon has a good product - just needs some work.
I feel so let down by the nikon p7000 the slow raw file transfer just put me right off i am just glad there are more cameras to go for.
I've been reading reviews for Lumix LX5, Nikon p7000 and the G12 and all I get are contradictory comments.
I need a camera for shooting outdoors especially the beach and also indoors during parties/reunions. I'm very much interested with the wide angle lens of LX5 and p7000 but it seems that the G12 or the S95 is still a better option for most people. I also want great manual control since I hope to transition one day to pro DSLRs.
WHICH WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?? LX5, P7000, G12 or S95???
G12, G12 and G12. :)
Ragmuffin, for photographing nature, you should get the Sigma DP1x. No camera with a Bayer-type sensor is capable of taking crisp images, and for nature shots, you need maximum sharpness. Sand in particular will look like mush, even when photographed with an expensive DSLR. If you care about image quality, there is no other way to go.
Hello Murdock, your assumption of "No camera with a Bayer-type sensor is capable of taking crisp images" is really over the top!
So according to you,DSLR the like of Canon 1Ds, Nikon D3, D700 etc etc are all no bloody good for "sharpness" and "nature shots"?
That is the biggest BULL we ever heard!
Ha ha ha ha….
You can laugh, but it is true. When you view an image from a Bayer-type camera at 100%, there is always blurriness. If you don't see any blurriness, it is because the picture has been sharpened. Bayer technology always results in a loss of resolution, first because the interpolation of colors is not perfect, and second because an anti-aliasing filter is usually necessary. Pictures of trees and beaches are particularly revealing. A Bayer sensor will make a beach look soft and amorphous, whereas a beach photographed by a Sigma camera will look crisp and defined. Sigma cameras currently have a 4.7 MP Foveon sensor, but that sensor has been shown to capture the same detail as a 9 MP Bayer sensor. Sigma will be coming out with a 15 MP sensor in early 2011 which should capture 30 MP worth of detail. The pixel-level sharpness of Foveon images is really quite amazing. Like Foveon, other manufacturers are developing sensors that capture all 3 colors at each pixel. I predict that Bayer technology will be dead by 2020.
Hi Murdock, sorry for laughing; what you said are mostly true but you said yourself that a 9MP Bayer can be as good as a 4.7 Foveon ;)
I am sure your prediction Bayer tech will be dead by 2020 could be true, but in the mean time; I am having a hell lot of fun shooting with my E-P2, G12 and D300!
Photography is not just about detail and sharpness my friend but having fun.
Take a look at my blog and laugh.
Kind Regards - CY
The P7000, G12 or S95? I owned the G11 and had the P7000 for several days and now own the S95. It's the winner as far as I'm concerned. I shoot only RAW and having a powerful camera I can slip into a shirt pocket is a real plus. It does very well in low light and has an excellent image-stabilizer. The control ring around the lens is very useful. It's the same camera as the G12 in a much smaller package. You give up the viewfinder(next to useless on the G12) and the tilt-out LCD, but the super portability means I can have a camera with me when I don't want to lug my D90 or even my Lumix G2.
Thanks guys for that! I will take into consideration what you said :) Just a bit nervous with the Sigma because I have never used one and the truth is, despite the less than enthusiastic reviews about the p7000, it is still a strong contender because I love the images I took when I borrowed my friend's D90!
Ragamuffin—-be wary about assuming that Nikon's point and shoots are just compact versions of their DSLRs in quality and performance and especially their modality. They are NOT. I was extremely disappointed in my Coolpix 5100, which was Nikon's top of the line prosumer compact camera at the time. I bought one in a hurry in late 2008 to be a companion to my D80 and D90. That was a mistake. IT had many shortcomings…wouldn't shoot in Adobe RGB color space; fell short of implementing all the basic EXIF stuff like Auto-Rotation of image in browsers ( ggrrr….). The sensor and image quality were lacking…very noisy pix at any speed above ISO 400. And a bunch of other things too numerous to put here,. Let me just say it was so different I thought the camera was made by somebody else, not Nikon at all.
Ragamuffin, DewD is absolutely right, if you were impressed by your friend's D90 and expect the P7000 to deliver same; you will be disappointed!It is like expecting your Fiat Uno to perform like your friend's Ferrari ;)
http://www.dxomark.com is a good place to compare different cameras.
The D90 overall score is 73 and the P7000 a mere 39!
You are not comparing apple with apple.
I just got rid of my G7 to upgrade to a G12, bought a P7000 instead. Returned it within days and went with the S95.
Love it!
No brainer!
No brainer indeed!
DXO Mark score - G12, S95 =47 and P7000=39.
Say no more ;)
I currently own P7000 and am very unhappy. All of the things stated above. SO - I can still send it back and I want a "luggable" small camera. Movies are not so important but RAW is. I usually only shoot raw (my other camera is Nikon D3x). It looks like S95, LX5 or G12. Would appreciate some feedback.
For me it is no contest - S95. I bought one after returning the P7000 and it is great. The G12 is not luggable and the S95 is basically the same re focus speed and image quality, less (unneeded) options otherwise, just smaller. Loads of comparison reviews out there.
Hi g.Little
Since you own the humongous D3x, G12 will appear tiny to you :) I do not agree the extra features on the G12 are, according to stephanie "unneeded".
Just the articulated screen on the G12 sold me.
Try doing a low low angle shot or high angle shot with the S95 and you will know what I mean.
I am very disappointed with the P7000 too and results in DXO Mark (dxomark.com) confirmed that.
Many moons ago I wrote about the usefulness of a articulated screen on a P&S: http://cyleow.blogspot.com/2010/01/neglected-gem-coolpix-8400.html
Boo Nikon!!!! Partiality! haha so it's the G12 v the LX5. I trust Canon since I've been using an Ixus ever since but it terms of pictures there's nothing special about it. On the other hand I was really impressed with the LX3's low light pictures without flash so I'm expecting (although I may be wrong again), that LX5 should perform almost the same plus I really like that wide angle lens and white body! But I have to say that Lumix flash is just ugly in my experience :/
Thanks guys for the help! As you can see, I'm the typical consumer to get duped by pretty ads -_-
I was interested in purchasing the P7000, but after reading some comments, not so sure anymore. I am a total amature, however, I would like a camera that takes great action shots, i.e., hockey and soccer. Any recommendations? Thoughts on Nikon S8100 or the Olympus Stylus 9000?
the "decisive moment" is not about how many frames per sec you shoot!!! it is one well thought and well timed trigger of the button..not rapid fire pap style!!
Good/experienced photographer seldom use RAW. Take photo and deciding to do adjustment is not good. I own P7k since it launched. When time to focus-it make me sick. Nikon should call back this model to do 'upgrading' the firmware. I luv nikon for it robustly made like my prime tool D300/D70.
Sorry, Fouzi, but experienced photographers mainly use RAW. It allows the most control over the photo if there are problems with lighting, contrast, exposure, etc. JPEGs are "lossy" files, which means information is thrown away when the files are compressed. RAW doesn't do that.
Apparently, the firmware update to the P7000 has helped somewhat, but I still recommend the S95 or G12 or LX5 or the new Olympus XZ-1.
L Wood, the Nikon 8100 is a nice little camera for general use. The 10x zoom is handy. It's not in the same class as the above-mentioned cameras, though, having a smaller sensor and noisier at higher ISOs.
gdc…hai there. I enjoy wedding ceremony/photography and was a wedding photographer as my 2nd job. I SELDOM shoot raw unless the lighting gave me trouble. I know what do you meant about raw but i prefer to shoot jpeg most. My P7k was sent to the distributer, the focusing made me mad…
the decisive moment is about carefully taking a photo that is able to focus accurately without problems, even on a moving subject. It is not about taking your time - but about having a tool that lets you choose the time. A split second decides the moment worth keeping and from this point of view a few rapid bursts are not a bad thing.
i dont think cartier bresson..had auto focus or motordrives..i think he used hyperfocal distance focusing.and to quote" you must know with intuition when to click the camera"
If Henri were alive today, he would have auto focus… and a Leica with a fixed lens. I agree about the intuition bit, and therefore rest my case. He had nothing to stop him taking the photo as he set the camera up himself, as I often do with cameras that do not require poking into menus and so forth. However, many of these small modern cameras get in the way of intuitiveness by refusing to take the d..m thing when you want it to. That aside, I was not even talking about the great man. Just talking about a confusion of issues.
yes he probably would have a leica..m8 or m9…none of which are auto focus..
but if they were, he would. He would take the best tool to do the job. As would anyone. The camera he used in his day was the best for his needs. It would not be today. We also no longer use gun powder to "flash" our subjects.
Who knows - he might have actually deserted the Leica! But we can't ask him… I am sure he would think us a bunch of fools.
I'm on my 3rd P7000 and it left for repairs again yesterday.
Lens cover blades problems. The first 2 cameras were replaced as they were new and the last one gave up after a little over 4000 photos. I love the camera… but besides the blade problems which is a common issue, the slow NRW (RAW) which only works with a few softwares ( Lightroom 3, CS5, Thumbs 4 Plus,), the white balance that goes wild after a few picture (you have to work with NRW if your photos are important), the camera is not reliable and was put on the market without some real testing other than give away gifts to review writers. Trying to catch up to the G12?
I have a camera around my neck all day long except when I shower and go to bed and even then, when it's new and I love it I take it to bed with me like a new gift like when I was a kid. Today I'm sad and I'm seriously thinking about buying another one today after I finish this article. I have bought every imaginable accessories for that camera, (SB400, wide angle lens, 2 extra batteries, tube to use 52 mm filters, etc) and I prefer that instead of my 3 DSLRs. I should buy an extra one so I would have a chance of having one around my neck while the other is on it's way from or to to repairs. Nikon people in Toronto are very king, professional and understanding but without a P&S camera, I'm like a cab driver without his car. If you want a P7000, get a deal for 2 and cross your fingers.
Why would anyone pay good money and SUFFERED, like you??? Get a G12 and GET A LIFE mate! I had a G7, use it for two years; sold, still going. Then a G9, two years; sols, STILL going. Now I am using G12, no problem at all! Come on Nikon, you broke my heart ;)
Not agree, there are lot's of people who likes their P7000 !!!
I use it and likes it since november 2010 besides my d700-D3 and D3x cameras.
Hello Mr Ptrus, are you not working for Nikon? At least I DO NOT work for Canon! LOL
I'm fit to be locked up ...just got my 4th P7000.
The 2 first ones buged up in less than 2 weeks and
were replaced, the third one is in repair and they dont't know when they'll get the parts. Lens Blades issue. I bought a 4th one because i have bought every imaginable accessories including an SB400 flash (My SB600 and 900 are too big) I'm close to 1,700.CN$ to have (if I'm lucky) one working camera while the other is on it's way to or from repairs. Unthinkable of selling, I would need to find a looser not to be one myself.
I have shot with a p7000 for a few months. I mainly use it for those little family outing or when I don't want to carry the big DSLR gear with me.
Sure RAW is nice but the average amateur or consumer isnt going to buy photoshop and diddle round with it.
As far as overall speed goes it not as bad as folk seem to make out. DONT review every picture you shoot and its fine I think.
The add on wide angle is amazing in my opinion, sure it isnt cheap but its a nice piece of glass and gives good results. The SB400 with a little stofen on it will give excellent results also.
What not to use it for.. anything action related. If this is your primary use for goodness sake buy a dslr…
oh and something else. D-lighting which the p7000 has in three setting of low medium or high is amazing! tell me again why you need raw to fix those dark areas etc?
Moment of truth…...
Wanting a nice P&S to use when not wanting to lug the D3s, D3 or D700….wanting to stay faithful to Nikon with the P7000 but the G12 looks very tempting….
I'm an equine photographer and shoot tons (and I mean TONS) of action, sometimes 8,000 frames in a weekend, but I want this P&S for the randomness that is my life….
So which one, P7000 or G12….
HD movie recording is another big upgrade on the Nikon P7000, and you can connect the camera directly to your HDTV, via the built-in mini-HDMI connector. cashadvancex(dot)com
As a Nikon DSLR user of some years getting tired at humping its weight around I resorted to a P7K as a close alternative.
For P&S work its RAW could/should be faster so you need to be alert to a possible annoyance: but its fine with care. Also I've had the odd hang-up/freeze needing battery removal BUT without loss of data. Seems it doesn't like accidentally knocking the Zoom lever as its 'doing its thinking'!!
As a new P&S user though it surprises me that none of you complain about the LCD Screen ON ANY OF THE COMPACTS. The reflection one experiences off the screen makes proper composition and photo checking virtually impossible. WHY AREN'T THEY NON-REFLECTIVE LIKE 'E' BOOK SCREENS ARE AFTER ALL THIS TIME??
At least Nikon's answer with the View Finder is a Godsend and intuitive to all DSLR users.
All-in-all though a very neat little package.
had a G 7 did not foccused anymore repaire 390 USDOLLAR
Ihave had my p7000 since December 2010, it has behaved well until recently, when the lens cover blades decided to remain partially closed on powering up. Repeated pressing of the on/off button, did not rectify the problem.
Have now returned it to Nikon UK and await a response from them, otherwise I am quite happy with the P7000 which is used as a backup for my D80.
shooting pictures since 1967 went through quiet a few cameras incl. underwater which was a nikon, last camera canon G7 which broke down and the repair is over 350 US ?? went for nikon P7000
and all i can say "crystal clear pictures" and most important none of you never mention FUN , FUN ,FUN !!!
best camera so far for the price it challenge you to be creative and try different options . well done nikon
still have a contax G1 with zeiss biogen T f/2.8-28mm and sonnar T f/2.8-90mm and from time to time shoot picture the old way still great images

5 Ways Growing Up in a Broken Home Screws Your Love Life
I've talked before about the oddball habits one picks up coming from a broken home and how they can spank life's ass pretty hard (not in the fun way). What a lot of people don't realize is that these aren't just annoying quirks that we learn to navigate around. They are relationship time bombs, and when they go off, they explode-fuck everyone who dares to be in our personal sphere at that moment. It's hard for a "normal" person to understand that when you come from this sort of environment ...
#5. Confrontation Is a Battle
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
You Either Use What You've Learned ...
In most of the screwed-up relationships I've seen and been a part of, the pivotal person in the circle jerk tends to be an extremely dominating, hyper aggressive figure. For me, that was my dad. People who have lived through it can tell you that any confrontation, no matter how small, becomes an all-out war. Any objection on your part is taken as a sign of rebellion by the ... we'll call them "douchebags." The douchebag explodes over every little thing, and the people who don't want to go through their douchestorms tend to give in to their every whim.
Eventually, you learn that this is a normal means of leading a family. The domination and the outbursts become a sign of strength, and when you grow up in that hell, you can see the direct result: They have control. Later in life, when your own relationship flops out a big ol' veiny conflict, you use what you've been taught: douche it right on up.
Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"I'll shit directly on your soul, you human toilet!"
... Or You Do the Polar Opposite:
Some of us are lucky enough to learn that the douchebag's system wasn't just wrong; it was abuse. We vividly remember the fear we felt when they were Massengilling up the joint, so we vow to never do that to other people. Unfortunately, many people who make that decision end up going too far in the other direction, avoiding conflict at all costs.
The longer that goes on, the more it seems like we're walling off or have become emotionally disconnected, and that's when the relationship really begins to collapse. But worse, if we continue bottling up and avoiding confrontation, it can eventually build until an emotional mushroom cloud shoots out of our heads.
Thomas Northcut/Digital Vision/Getty Images
"Dude, all I said is that fedoras are kind of stupid looking!"
We're not all that great with the middle ground, and you'll see that theme throughout this article. It's not our fault, really. Broken homes are set in extremes by definition. If the parents weren't violent and abusive, they were neglectful or passive-aggressive. They were still douchebags, just a different brand. Like Douche Bagmatic or something. I don't know my douches. But the point is that it takes an entire childhood of witnessing the middle ground in order to understand it and utilize it, and we simply didn't have that.
#4. Anger Dictates Every Decision
Pixland/Pixland/Getty Images
You Either Use What You've Learned ...
If confrontation is the gun used to force control, anger is the ammunition. A kid learns very quickly that if he wields anger long enough, eventually people give in to his demands. It doesn't matter if they're doing it out of fear or just to shut your bitch ass up -- they're giving you what you want. Anger is the easiest form of manipulation because it's very direct: "Get Hulk beer! No?! HULK SMASH! Yeah, that what Hulk thought."
But like anything, it can become more complex with practice, which is what happens when you carry this trait into later relationships. You start using the insinuation of anger: "Didn't I tell you to take out the trash? Do you like pissing me off?" Or other people will use yours as a tool for their own gain: "You'd better listen to me. You don't want me telling your dad how you're acting when he gets home." People get so used to it, yourself included, that it becomes second nature to dip into that well, and before you know it, you've become a weredouche, and every night is a full moon.

"I'm going to work. When I get back, that gold statue of me had better be polished."
... Or You Do the Polar Opposite:
One of the big things I still have a problem with, even at 40 years old, is shutting down when I'm around someone who's getting angry. I still go into the same defense modes I used as a kid, either shying away and giving in or using humor to deflect the incoming shit bombs. That's a pretty good formula for turning into a well-used doormat in any relationship (not to mention always getting picked last for backyard sports because everyone thinks you're a huge pussy).
When you're on the receiving end of the anger, you don't just master how to avoid and deflect; you learn how to provoke anger in others for your personal benefit. Sometimes it's for attention. Other times, it's to throw them off of their game in an argument. Hell, it could even be used to make them look like a fucking idiot in front of people if you're the cape-wearing evil villain type. Which I totally am.

Don't let the smile fool you. I'm a goddamn madman.
Everything you do is based on that reaction, though, like wondering if what you're doing is going to send the other person into a rage, even if you know for a fact that they're not that type of person. Or wondering what buttons you can push to summon their punch tornado. It takes a very long time spent around emotionally stable people to grow out of that. But how many people are willing to put up with your bullshit long enough to see that through? Don't take my word for it -- ask those who have come from broken homes. They'll tell you that the answer is "not many." Those who have given up hope will tell you "none."

You Either Use What You've Learned ...
Quick show of hands: How many of you who come from broken homes had a parent who blamed everything that went wrong on someone else? Even things that were obviously far out of human control? OK, put your hands down because I can't see any of you, and I wrote that question long before you ever read it.
A tornado could rip through your yard and wind-fuck your garage into toothpicks, and one of your parents would say, "See? If you had built that on the other side of the house like I first told you to, we'd still have a place to park our cars!" Not "Is everyone OK?" Not coming up with a plan to get this thing rebuilt. First and foremost, someone has to be blamed, and they'll be goddamned if they let it go until someone pays in humiliation and guilt. Becoming that person later in life is a surefire way of leaving a breadcrumb trail of resentful exes behind you, eventually leading you to burn a witch alive in an oven.

"Now don't you come out until you're a pie."
... Or You Do the Polar Opposite:
You view every problem, no matter how minor, as a life-crushing blow that must be dealt with immediately. It's your responsibility because you caused it ... even if you didn't. "No, it's not your fault. I provoked you into throwing the dog at me. I'll make things better -- I can change." "The kids shoved LEGO blocks up each other's asses? I shouldn't have bought them toys that would fit up there."
I think part of that is not wanting other people to feel that sting of misplaced blame that you felt as a child. The other part is simply never outgrowing your involuntary role as an emotional codpiece tester. So you take on the responsibilities of the world, and when you fail to solve them all -- and you will fail, because that task is impossible -- all of that anxiety and fear come back to spin kick you in the mental balls.

"Now I won't be able to make mind babies."
Humans weren't built to handle that kind of prolonged stress. If the other person doesn't beat you to the punch, you can absolutely find yourself getting overwhelmed, cutting your losses, and fleeing the scene. I used to do that so much, you could set your watch to my perpetual life cave-ins. It got so bad that people were wearing hard hats around me, just in case.

Mayo ClinicRochester, MN, USA
Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a plasma cell dyscrasia characterized by non-amyloid deposits in various organs. It is the most common form of monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease which includes light heavy chain deposition disease (LHCDD) and heavy chain deposition disease (HCDD). Light chain deposition disease was first described by Randall et al. in 1976 but non-amyloidotic kidney disease resembling diabetes had been reported since the 1950's.(1) The true incidence of LCDD is unknown. Autopsy data of myeloma patients suggest the rate of LCDD is approximately 5%.(2) This is compared to 9% for AL amyloidosis and 32% for cast nephropathy in the same study. The rate appears to be much higher amongst patients with a monoclonal gammopathy who underwent a kidney biopsy. In this study, LCDD was found in 11.6% and LHCDD in 4.1%.(3) Rates of cast nephropathy and AL amyloidosis were found in only 10.7% of the patients.
Light chain deposition disease occurs in the sixth decade of life. The age however ranges from 28 to 94 years.(4) There may be a slightly higher incidence in males. Nearly every patient presents with renal manifestations. This includes renal insufficiency, proteinuria and hypertension. Extrarenal manifestation occurs in about 35% of the patients. Nearly every organ can be involved with the most commonly reported being the heart and liver. Lung, gut, peripheral nerves, autonomic nervous system, muscle, salivary gland, carpel tunnel and brain may become involved.(5)
There is a definite predilection for kappa light chain in LCDD. Nearly 74% of patients with LCDD have a monoclonal kappa light chain. Proportion may be higher in smaller series. There also appears to be an overrepresentation of the κI subtype in this disease. Protein analysis revealed in increased hydrophobicity in these light chains.(6) One study suggests the mutations are at the somatic level and appears to be concentrated in the CDR regions of the gene.
Many patients with LCDD also have multiple myeloma. The rate of myeloma varies from 37% to 65%.(4,7) This variation may explain the differences in life expectancy reported in these patients in the literature. The median survival varies from 18 months to over 5 years. The myeloma rate in the study with the longest survival was 37% compared with over 50% in studies with shorter median survivals. However, another study suggests the histologic pattern may be more important in determining survival. In this study, the presence of myeloma did not affect survival but patients who had LHCDD had a significantly shorter survival.(8) There is a great variation in the treatment of LCDD. Some patients with renal limited disease without myeloma may not receive any disease directed therapy. Others are given steroids and cytotoxic agents similar to those used in the treatment of multiple myeloma with varying success. One study suggests those who received vincristine-doxorubicin-dexamethasone/ methylprednisolone may have a better outcome. These patients were also more likely to have multiple myeloma.4 High dose melphalan with stem cell rescue has also been used in these patients. The experience has been small but so far appears to be beneficial with a low treatment mortality rate. Royer et al reported their experience with 11 patients, 10 of whom had multiple myeloma.(9) After stem cell transplant, 6 patients achieved hematologic complete response and 2 had very good partial response. Responders were also noted to have organ response including improvement in heart, liver and kidney function. Three patients relapsed after stem cell transplant and 1 died as a result of progressive myeloma. Boston University reported their experience with stem cell transplant in 6 LCDD patients without myeloma.(10) Complete hematologic response was achieved in 86%. All had normalized their serum free light chain levels. All were alive at a median follow-up of 12 months. It appears that high dose melphalan followed by autologous stem cell transplant may be the treatment of choice for these patients regardless of their myeloma status. It provides the patient with the highest chance of achieving hematologic CR with a low treatment related mortality rate.

Like the name states, testicular cancer is cancer of the testicles, a part of the male reproductive system. Malignant cells form in the tissues of one or both testicles, almost always in germ cells – the cells that produce immature sperm. It often develops in younger men, although it can occur at any age. It is a highly treatable and curable type of cancer.
The risk for testicular cancer is higher in younger men (ages 20-34), Caucasian men, men with undescended testicles, and men with a family or personal history of testes cancer. Know your risk >>
There are no routine testicular cancer screenings to detect signs of testicular cancer in men. The best way to prevent testicular cancer is to perform regular self-exams for testicular cancer, especially if you are at high risk. If you find any warning signs of testicular cancer, consult your doctor right away. Self-exam instructions >>
The symptoms of testicular cancer in men can include lumps, enlargement or swelling in the testicle, changes in the scrotum, pain and other physical signs. Testicular cancer signs and symptoms >>
Your doctor may perform physical exams, medical health history, ultrasound, biopsy or imaging scans to test for testicular cancer. Tests and treatment options >>
When you need a testicular cancer doctor, call Community cancer care at 800-777-7775 to make an appointment. Our MD Anderson Cancer Network® certified physicians offer the answers you need for diagnosis, staging and treatment of testicular cancer.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
All sperm cells may indeed look alike, but multiple cells from the same man carry genetic differences that researchers hope will help them better understand male reproductive disorders.
A research team led by Stephen Quake, Ph.D., at Stanford University and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) for the first time mapped out the entire DNA sequence of individual human sperm, from 91 sperm cells of a 40-year-old man who had healthy children.
In the study, published in the July 20 edition of the journal Cell, investigators captured images of new mutations that formed within each sperm cell as the DNA changed to create more genetic diversity leading to differences in features between parents and offspring. The sperm in a sample underwent an approximate average of 23 recombinations, with each individual sperm cell having a different number of genetic mixing events, and resulting genetic mutations.
Every sperm cell contained between 25 and 36 new mutations previously unseen in other body cells, the study concluded, while two sperm cells were missing entire chromosomes.
"The exact sites, frequency, and degree of this genetic mixing process is unique for each sperm and egg cell, and we've never before been able to see it with this level of detail. It's very interesting that what happens in one person's body mirrors the population average," Dr. Quake, a professor of bioengineering and of applied physics at Stanford University and an investigator for HHMI, said in a statement.
Researchers used a microfluidic system to achieve highly parallel sample processing yet minimize nonspecific amplification. Data from high-density genotyping results from the 91 single cells were used to create a personal recombination map that revealed significant differences from pedigree data at higher resolution. High-throughput sequencing on 31 single cells was used to measure the frequency of large-scale genome instability, and deeper sequencing of eight single cells revealed de novo mutation rates with distinct characteristics.
While the first whole-genome sequence of somatic cells was deciphered in 2003, itself, the study marks the first time that sperm cells themselves have been sequenced. Sperm cells, like female egg cells, contain just a single set of 23 chromosomes, unlike body cells which have two sets or 46 chromosomes, incorporating features from both parents.
"Application of this technology could significantly enhance our understanding of reproductive disorders. In addition, it may be paradigm shifting with respect to sperm or egg selection for in vitro fertilization," remarked study coauthor Barry Behr, Ph.D., director of Stanford's in vitro fertilization laboratory and professor of obstetrics and gynecology, in a statement.
"For the first time, we were able to generate an individual recombination map and mutation rate for each of several sperm from one person," Dr. Behr remarked in the statement. "Now we can look at a particular individual, make some calls about what they would likely contribute genetically to an embryo, and perhaps even diagnose or detect potential problems."

As the time drew near for Zach Ottaway to play in the Altoona Mirror Basketball Classic, he got some advice about the event from his older brother, Luke.
"He said, 'The closer you get to 27 points, you better start cutting down [the shots]," Zach Ottaway said.
The reason for the glass ceiling on the 6-foot-6 Hollidaysburg Golden Tiger's scoring output is simple: That's the current boys scoring record for the Classic, and it's held by Luke Ottaway.
Article Photos
Altoona's DeShae Lee practices against B-A's Noah Davis for this Friday's Mirror Classic.
While there is a lot of area pride whenever the Blair senior all-stars take on a dozen of the finest players from the rest of District 6 and District 5, there also will be a lot of family honor at stake when the squads clash on Friday night at Mount Aloysius College, beginning with the girls game at 6:30 p.m.
Zach Ottaway is the third member of his family to play in the game - his sister, Amanda, took part in 2008. Williamsburg's Eli Fay will be the third Fay to suit up for a Blair County team, as well, and Matt Dry's older sister, Courtney, was a 2011 Blair team member.
Cambria Heights' Isaac Vescovi watched his brother, Ian, establish game records for rebounds (14) and blocked shots (10) in the 2010 event, while Altoona's DeShae Lee watched his older brother, DeRon, dish out seven assists in 2011.
Luke Gallaher helped spark the Central PA boys score a Classic high 127 points in 2011; now his sister, Forest Hills guard Casey Gallaher, will be on the court.
"I was hoping that I would get picked for this game because I wanted to play in it, too," Casey Gallaher said. "He was happy when I told him. He said, 'Well, Casey, I assumed you would get picked for it.' But I was happy."
Also in the girls game, Hollidaysburg's Morgan Griffith will follow in the footsteps of her older sister, Taylor.
In addition, there are two players in this year's game who played with twin siblings during the regular season. Northern Bedford's Tayler Pressel reached the District 5 Class AA championship game with his brother, Zach. Conemaugh Township's Lyndy Baer joined with her 2-minute-younger sister Carly to win a 5-A girls title and reach the second round of interdistricts.
"It's been nice growing up with her because we could practice together, and we'd push each other a lot and we just sometimes like know where we're going to be on the court. One of the negatives was that we could yell at each other more. That was sometimes rough," Lyndy Baer said. "We were pretty good at accepting each other's awards and stuff. We were never jealous because we were so close. We'd just root each other on."
Vescovi's ties with the game go back even before there was a Mirror Classic, when it was the Big John Riley Classic pitting top seniors from Cambria County against those in Blair, and the game was at St. Francis University before NCAA rules forced it to be moved to nearby Cresson.
"Ten years ago, I watched my oldest brother play and I thought, 'This is big time.' It's really neat," Vescovi said. "From my family, it's kind of surreal."
Vescovi and Ottaway both are part of Classic royalty. Luke Ottaway also has the game's 3-point record.
"It was pretty special, because I've never been in a game like this before, and I knew my brother and my sister played in it," Zach Ottaway said. "My brother was the MVP it'd be kind of cool if I could win MVP, too."
Ottaway said his older brother and sister were instrumental in his progress as a player. Amanda Ottaway played Division I basketball at Davidson.
"She's the one who told me to start running the floor as a big and accept nothing but perfection with my game," Zach Ottaway said. "She's the one that helped me with my fundamentals, and Luke's the one that helped me with my actual skill development."
The younger Ottaway is more of a post player where his older brother was a big guard. The Vescovis are just the opposite - Isaac is a guard while Ian played inside.
"I can't play the same position at [Ian]. That's what all my brothers did. So I decided I'll go somewhere that I can play, which is pretty much as a guard. That helped me a lot," Isaac Vescovi said.
Isaac is the latest of four boys basketball standouts in his household, and his father, Bill, also was a star on the court - "It was cool in the sense that every time you wanted something to do, you had four brothers to play with, so you could always get a game going," Isaac said - but that also led to some tension.
"When I was in eighth grade, people would come up to me and ask if I was Ian's little brother. That kind of got to me. I wanted to be better than him. That's really what drove me the most," Vescovi said. "They set a high bar for me."
The Lees also were extremely competitive.
"I would never admit to losing to him, and I know he would never admit to losing to me. We sure had our battles on the court," DeShae Lee said. "That motivated me to want to be there and have an even bigger impact than he did."
In fact, the younger Lee rushed back from a broken wrist to play on Friday.
"I just wanted to make sure I get a chance to leave my last impression in this game," Lee said. "I definitely think it's an honor to be considered one of the area's best. Everyone comes around and can have a little fun, because it's a long, tough season with a lot of emotions, especially this year with my injury. I was definitely a lot more appreciative to be where I was at."
Ottaway said he might not be able to follow his brother's advice, but he's intent on keeping the scoring record in the family.
"If I have the chance, I'll break it," Ottaway said, "but I'll try to stop someone else from getting it."

It may have taken a little over 22 hours from start to finish, but Stetson's first victory in the modern era is officially in the books.
Quarterback Ryan Tentler threw for 169 yards and two touchdowns and kicker James LaGamma converted a fake field goal into a touchdown as Stetson defeated visiting Warner 31-3 Sunday afternoon at Spec Martin Stadium.
"I am obviously overwhelmed and extremely excited," Hatters head coach Roger Hughes said. "As a coach, I see a lot of the mistakes that we made. We had too many penalties, too many turnovers, too many missed assignments early; but it was nice to be a part of the longest first half of the history of the NCAA."
Stetson piled up 345 yards of total offense and 16 first downs. Tentler, who was 17-for-24 passing the ball, was also the Hatters' leading rusher with 62 yards on seven carries.
"Ryan is like a second coach on the field," Hughes said. "You know he checks plays, he gets them to the right side, and he has really fast feet like you saw earlier in the game last night."
Tentler said the suspension of the game from Saturday to Sunday took a little of the emotion out, but that is was still an exciting first game.
"It was easy for us to pick back up from the night before because we have practiced this situation," Tentler said. "We have been trained for these situations. Coming out today wasn't as exciting for us, but it was still great to have that first game and for it to be a win for us."
The contest was suspended Saturday night with the Hatters holding a 10-3 advantage. When play resumed Sunday, Stetson wasted no time extending its lead.
On the first play from scrimmage, Warner's snap sailed over the quarterback's head and rolled into the end zone where redshirt freshmen Donald Payne won a scramble to the ball for the defensive touchdown. LaGamma converted the extra point to give Stetson a 17-3 lead.
Coupled with Rob Coggin's seven-yard touchdown reception Saturday night, the two scores spanned just 14 seconds on the game clock but over 19 hours of actual time.
"The time and the place last night was unmatched and I had no idea that we could create that," Hughes said. "The nice thing is the first play, when we got it over the head and we restored the energy that we had last night here. I have to thank the fans because a lot of people would not have come back, but those stands were still pretty filled."
Late in the second quarter, the Hatters drove down to Warner's eight-yard line and lined up for a field goal on a 4th-and-goal situation. Holder Nick LaSala took the snap and pitched the ball back to LaGamma who surged through the Royals defense before plunging into the end zone for the special teams score.
Stetson held Warner to zero total yards in the second quarter and carried a 24-3 into halftime.
Midway through the third quarter, Tentler and Coggin teamed up for their second touchdown toss, this time a 32-yard completion into the front right corner of the end zone. That connection was the only points of the second half as Stetson emphatically finished off its first win in the modern era.
Hughes was given a celebratory ice shower as the clock clicked down to 0:00.
"This win is great for the program and great for the kids," Hughes said immediately after the game. "They have been working so hard for more than 350 days to get this done and I am just so proud of them."
Defensively, Bobby Jakubek and Chris Atkins each recorded an interception, while Davion Belk, Billy Walsh, and Payne each picked up a sack.
The Hatters held the Royals to just 193 yards of offense for the game.
For their efforts, Payne and LaGamma earned Defensive Player of the Week and co-Special Teams Player of the Week in the Pioneer Football League.
With the delay in the game, the Hatters will now face a short week of preparation for their first road game. Stetson will travel south to Melbourne on Saturday for a showdown with the Panthers of Florida Tech. The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start.

Planning the perfect wedding day was a lesson in simplicity for Kristin Cavallari.
"The flowers and everything were very simple but it was very warm and cozy," says the former star of MTV's hit shows Laguna Beach and The Hills, who married Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler on Saturday. "It was all about the lighting and the candles and the atmosphere was just so warm. It was absolutely perfect."
Opting not to see her groom before the wedding, Cavallari was nervous to walk down the aisle at Woodmont Christian Church in Nashville on Saturday, but the couple's 10-month-old son, Camden Jack, paved the way for a smooth ceremony.
"We had two flower girls so one of them pulled him and our nephew in a wagon, and the other flower girl was throwing rose petals behind," Cavallari tells PEOPLE. "I obviously didn't get to see it, but everyone thought it was just the cutest thing. I can't wait to see pictures!"
After the couple's reception at a nearby historic warehouse – where guests dined on Southern comfort food and danced to a Motown band – the couple retreated to their honeymoon suite and gazed at the new rings on their fingers.
"We were both just like, 'I can't believe we did it!' " says Cavallari. "Especially Jay, because he's never worn a ring before. It's going to take some getting used to."
