<p>Returning to photography after a 16-year hiatus. Shoot Canon briefly in the early years but switched to Nikon (FM-2, F-3, F-4, N-90s, D-700) because the Nikon system has great legacy lens compatibility. I primarily shoot portraits and wedding. I also, shoot nature and streetscapes with a Pentax 6X7. I`m currently interested in shooting street photography. I`m looking for a full frame digital camera with a minimum 12-16 megapixel capture and is capable of shooting raw (NEF) files. Desire a body the is small and compact with a quick but low noise shutter release. I`ll be shooting in an urban environment hence I prefer a camera with a low-key vibe. I don`t want to draw unnecessary attention with a large and expensive looking rig. Presently I`m drawn to the Nikon Coolpix 7800; it appears to have a number of desirable features and is at a reasonable price point. Interested in feedback or thoughts from other about this platform; particularly from those who have shot this camera. Also, open to suggestions on alternative cameras that I should consider before pulling the trigger on the purchase.<br>

I`ve heard a rumour the 7800 has a long shutter release lag time and the autofocus is slow. Is it true?
