Nikon released a version 1.1 firmware update for the P7000 earlier this week. I've got good news and bad. The good news is that raw users will find the camera far snappier (pardon the pun). Much more like what we expected. The bad news is the "focus fix" doesn't really seem to be a fix. As far as I can tell, the "lens initialization" message now is simply missing. Previously if the camera was having troubles focusing on something, it put up an error message after (I think) three miisses on focus. Now it'll just happily miss for as long as you care to let it. The problem is easiest to see when trying to focus through glass. I've always been curious about this, as some contrast AF cameras seem to have no problems with that while others do. The GXR I'm testing is another that sometimes balks at focusing through glass, especially thick glass at an angle. Yet I've got other compacts that don't have problems with the same test. So it's clear that some camera companies must have a way of pulling off contrast veiling caused by reflections that the others aren't using.
