The editors didn't like
Took several long tries to get a GPS lock
RAW image supported only by Nikons ViewNX software
Image quality is acceptable but not impressive for a shooter in this class.
The Nikon Coolpix P6000 tries really hard to be a prosumer camera that offers digital SLR-like functionality, or at least features to distinguish itself from the competition. If you used one of Nikon’s digital SLRs before, then you’ll feel a b...
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 i...
Abstract: The Nikon Coolpix P6000 is Nikon’s flagship compact camera, improving on its predecessor the P5100 with 13.5 megapixels of resolution and a wider 28mm - 112mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens. The P6000 also brings back RAW format, and adds things li...
Good photo quality at low ISOs, and in good light, Well built, fairly compact, easy to hold (for the most part), Optical image stabilization (known as Vibration Reduction here), Sharp 2.7" LCD is visible outdoors and in low light, Full manual cont...
Noise reduction smudges fine details and solid areas of color, even at lowest ISO; noticeable detail loss at ISO 400 and above, Occasional highlight clipping, Lens is slow at the telephoto end, Unusual RAW format has huge file sizes, slow shottoshot ti...
Trying to come up with a conclusion for the Nikon Coolpix P6000 has proven a bit challenging. On the one hand, its a compact, easy to use camera with a wide-angle lens, good-sized LCD, full manual controls, customizable buttons and menus, and a hot sh...
Abstract: Since the introduction of the affordable digital SLR a few years back industry observers have been predicting the demise of what used to be called the prosumer camera; the highly specified compact with features aimed at the more serious photographer...
Detail hampered by noise, underexposure, overprocessed images
The P6000 has given us little in the way of surprises, and in many respects what I’ve found mirrors what I concluded from testing its predecessor. The obligatory increase in resolution is perhaps unnecessary for most users – and potentially de...
Abstract: A 4x Zoom-NIKKOR lens with 28mm wide-angle capability and 13.5MP resolution allows the P6000 to capture very good image quality at the low ISOs. RAW file format is available, as a new NRW (RAW) format that can be processed both in-camera and supported ...
Abstract: If you're a keen photographer looking for a high-spec semi-pro compact camera, your choices are rather limited. The leader in this sector of the market is the impressive 14.7-megapixel Canon PowerShot G10 (£350, review coming soon), but there are a few ot...
The Coolpix P6000 is Nikons best attempt yet at a compact camera thats good enough for a pro photographer, but ultimately it has a few serious flaws that means it falls short. In terms of design, the P6000 is a delight to use, with most of the contr...
Good image quality, Ethernet port allows for speedy transfer of RAW images, Versatile wide-angle 4X lens, Sharp, bright LCD display
Large and heavy, Mediocre image stabilization, Sluggish shot-to-shot speeds, Weak GPS receiver
Geotagging photos—placing them on a map in the spot where you took them—has always had trade-offs. In the early days, it meant dropping pictures manually onto a digital map. Lately, it’s meant relying on Wi-Fi triangulation (which doesn&...
