I had one for about two months, along with my trusty LX3. Took them both on a trip to give the P7000 a decent trial, a lot of city shooting. The images are good and I liked the longer end of the zoom on occasion (but missed the 24 of the LX3 on occasion), so that was a tradeoff. The camera feels fine, the controls are nice. But I sold it after the trip.
RAW was slow enough that I just stopped using it, and while the menus weren't all that slow, compared to the LX3 they drove me a bit crazy. My fingers would scroll or push the buttons faster than the screen would refresh and I kept losing track of which submenu I was in. I think if you didn't have another cam with you, then you would be very happy with it. But comparing side by side, the LX3 focused faster, more reliably, the menus were zippier, and the camera was smaller. I just became impatient with the P7000, especially for any sort of street use.
On the plus side though, the controls were really nice and well thought out. Making adjustments and using the controls were great (so long as you gave it a half second to catchup). And it was remarkable in the degree of adjustments you could make to all the settings. So there are certainly some strong positives.
The other thing is that I could easily slip the LX3 into any coat pocket, cargo pants, or even chinos, but the P7000 needs a large coat pocket or a bag. If I was going to bring a bag, then I may as well bring an only slightly larger m43 or NEX.
However I could have lived with it happily enough, I would just need to learn a bit of patience. I don't have anything bad to say about it, but when I had both sitting on the counter I would always grab the LX3. So the bottom line is that it was fine, but it just didn't inspire me. You're mileage may vary, we all have our own foibles.
