First real digital camera suggestions.

Hi guys im moving to Vermont for the winter and would like to get a camera. I need something compact that can fit in a case and go inside my jacket. Ive been looking at the nikon P7000 because of the fast shutter and good reviews. Also could anyone recommend some sites to learn about photography.
Thank you

The P7000 is an excellent camera, up there at the top with the best of them.
If you can do without its zoom but prefer a long line of predecessors with proven quality, you should also look at Canon's G12.
For learning how to use your camera, you could go to digital-photography-school.com.

To make things really short -
The G12 is all around a slightly better camera, but with less zoom.
P7000 is good if you need the zoom and can live with the slow RAW files writing times.

I think you would have better luck with your own post.

Hello,
I have recently purchased my life's first digital camera from the website suggested by my relative. I got an awesome digital camera within my budget. I was very nervous to purchase a digital camera because I didn't have any knowledge about camera but after visiting to the suggested website my nervousness turns into smile. I recommend you to first have a look on the digital camera available on this website: "http://www.************.com". I assure you that you will also get a good advanced digital camera with HD picture quality, awesome zoom quality and some other features.

Enjoy Christmas.
