Nikon P7000 P&S

Christmas shopping for my dad - once an active film SLR photographer now using a crummy point and shoot.
Critieria:
1) <$500 USD
2) Small, pocketable
3) No interchangeable lenses
4) Ample manual control
Good images go without mention

So I played with the Nikon P7000 for a while at my local camera shop - owner let me view pics in Lightroom and printed a few out. I was *impressed* at the image quality, controls, and solid build of this camera.

I feel dpreview was rough rating this camera. Any owners want to share their opinion?

I'm not an owner of the P7000 so cannot share my experiences with it, but have you taken a look at some of the alternatives to the P7000? For example, the Panasonic LX5 or the Canon S95?
