Nikon CoolPix P6000

 

Nikon's latest semi-pro compact has built-in GPS, so you'll always know where you took that photo

The P6000 is an impressive camera, with superb build quality, a great range of features, decent performance and excellent image quality. It's the strongest contender yet in Nikon's semi-pro P series. It's not quite strong enough to take on the Canon...

Nikon Coolpix P6000 review

 

Fancy the high-end controls of the PowerShot G10 without the price or the bulk? We find out if the P6000 is a viable alternative

Good build quality ; Generous array of features

Confusing menu layout ; Technology will be unnecessary to most users

The attractions of a high-powered compact camera are obvious, but the P6000 proves to be just a little bit too lack lustre in too many areas. At this price, you would expect great pictures and great handling, but unfortunately it doesn't really deliver...

Nikon Coolpix P6000 digital camera

 

Nikon's P6000 arrives with some very clever kit not least of which is the GPS data for “geo-tagging” images, where the location each image was made is stored as Global Positioning Satellite data within each image's exif data. This enthusiast level...

Build and handling, low ISO image quality, easy to use, image stabilisation

Basic optical viewfinder, intermittent GPS, high ISO image noise, price

And so when you look at the P6000 against rivals such as Canon’s PowerShot G10 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3, you’re left asking if this camera is a missed opportunity by Nikon? Yes, it’s easy to use and handle, has innovative features (when they...

Nikon Coolpix P6000 review

 

With pocket-friendly dimensions and high picture quality, we like the Nikon Coolpix P6000.

While the main camera features work as well as can be expected, with a heavy price tag, the value of the seemingly unreliable geo-tagging feature and unnecessary ethernet option are questionable. You can buy the Nikon Coolpix P6000 for a little less in...

Full RAW capability and excellent image quality mean the P6000 is a pocket powerhouse. Can it take down the best in class?

Feature-packed yet still genuinely compact, the P6000 is capable of taking amazing shots

Nikon Coolpix P6000 review

 

The Nikon P6000 is a high-end compact with a wideangle 28-12mm lens, 13MP, and new features including Raw shooting and GPS, so how does it perform?

The P6000 is a bit of a beast in the elegant supermodel world of compacts

Nikon Coolpix P6000 review

 

The 13.5Mp Nikon CoolPix P6000 is a compact camera pitched unashamedly at the high end of the market, an area previously dominated by arch-rival Canon, with its highly capable G9 and G10 compacts.

While the main camera features work as well as can be expected, with a heavy price tag, the value of the seemingly unreliable geo-tagging feature and unnecessary ethernet option are questionable. You can buy the Nikon Coolpix P6000 for a little less in...

Nikon COOLPIX P6000

 

Nikon's latest attempt at a serious compact camera for the enthusiast adds built-in GPS and Ethernet support.

On paper the P6000 promises a lot, but in reality it doesn't live up to its full potential, ultimately hampered by poor implementation of headline feature

Nikon Coolpix P6000 review

 

Nikon's eagerly awaited CoolPix P6000 is the replacement to the maker's P5000 and its P5100 upgrade. Like those earlier offerings, the 13.5 million-pixel P6000 is pitched unashamedly at the high end, but it's a market that has been dominated by...

High picture quality (at low ISOs); handy image stabilization; exposure control and small, well-built body

Occasionally tardy auto-focus operation; unreliable GPS operation; Raw file not officially supported on Mac OS X
