Unfortunately the same can't be said about the RAW performance, arguably an essential part of most serious photographer's workflow. Firstly, Nikon have changed the RAW format again, with the new NRW+ currently only supported by Nikon's own software. Secondly, the burst shooting speed is a rather lackluster 1fps for a maximum of 5 frames. Thirdly and most crucially, the P7000 takes 5 seconds to process a single RAW file and 15 seconds to process a burst of 5 frames, during which the camera locks-up entirely. This is simply too slow on a camera that is trying to be a DSLR in compact form, especially when the P7000's main rivals don't suffer from the same problem.
