I've been a Canon guy since I first picked up my brand new EOS 3 way back in the days of film, and I've always stuck pretty close to the brand while at the same time loving the random Nikon, Pentax Hasselblad or Leica i picked up and shot with for a time. But I've always tried to look at overall features and quality of a camera before I purchased one.

Well the time finally came for me to buy a new Point and Shoot camera. And after a good 6 months of research and looking at everything out there I finally traded in my trusty Leica Digilux 2 for a.... Nikon Coolpix P7700 and wow am I ever impressed with this piece of gear. The image quality off of this camera is better than I got out of my DSLR just 3 years ago.

And so I'm going to do a long term evaluation of this camera and post my results and findings as I take this camera into the field and test it out.
