Thanks.  I can't really say the P7700 and I ever bonded.  It was a big transition from looking through my DSLR viewfinder to trying to compose from an small LCD screen.  Most of the time I couldn't see a thing due to glare.  But it did make shooting over the heads of the crowd easier.
All in all a nice little camera.  Very light and portable but still full-featured for someone used to a DSLR.
