Nikon Coolpix P6000
13.5 megapixels | 2.7" screen | 28 – 112 mm (4×)
<p>With its plethora of features and manual controls, the P6000 (which replaces the P5100) is - of all the cameras in its class - the one that gets closest to delivering SLR style control and handling in a truly pocketable format. . As you would expect Nikon has increased the megapixel count on the new model, but fortunately hasn't stopped there. The lens now offers a 28mm wide angle (from 35mm on the P5100) and the P6000 is also one of the first digital cameras featuring a built-in GPS receiver for geo-coding your images, and even has wired LAN connectivity. JPEG image quality is something of a mixed bag, but the inclusion of a raw mode does at least give you the option to fine tune the processing to your own taste.</p>

Trying to come up with a conclusion for the Nikon Coolpix P6000 has proven a bit challenging. On the one hand, it's a compact, easy to use camera with a wide-angle lens, good-sized LCD, full manual controls, customizable buttons and menus, and a hot shoe. It also offers two very unique features: a slow, but useful GPS receiver, and an Ethernet port that most people will probably never use. That said, as the flagship camera in Nikon's compact lineup, the P6000 has quite a few negatives. They include soft images with heavy noise reduction (that get noisy at higher ISOs), a clunky new RAW format, an unremarkable movie mode (complete with audio sync issues), and below average battery life. Do I recommend the P6000? Yes, but not with a whole lot of enthusiasm.
