Great little camera. Some people dont like batt. life but I have not experienced any issue. I would like to see Nikon offer screen protectors for LCD display. To date Nikon now offers a 1.2 firmware version.

Comments about Nikon Nikon Nikon Coolpix P6000 Digital Camera (Midnight Black):
I was so excited to get this camera in my hands. It feels great and I was pretty sure I could ignore the cons listed in other reviews. I was even able to get over having to manually lock the battery/memory compartment.
What I am not able to ignore is the fact that the flash has to be popped up manually. This is suprising oversight from Nikon. The lag/recovery time is severly prolonged. You can sense the shots you are missing as you wait to be able to take the next shot. You don't even always get the picture you were trying to capture - it is a few frames later.
I am used to a D80, but wanted something much smaller for casual outings.
The p6000 is an ABYSSMAL DISAPPOINTMENT. It is going back to the store.
Nikon needs to go back to the drawing board and fix these flaws - then we will have a great camera on our hands.

Comments about Nikon Nikon Nikon Coolpix P6000 Digital Camera (Midnight Black):
The camera works fine, and my husband loves the GPS feature. But, the package had been previously opened. This appears to have been previously returned or maybe even refurbished. We were quite disappointed, since we specifically purchased directly from Ritz to avoid getting a "returned" or refurbished product! We could have saved money by ordering it from some other website.

from New Orleans, LA on 1/10/2009
Comments about Nikon Nikon Nikon Coolpix P6000 Digital Camera (Midnight Black):
Upgraded from a 2 yr old Canon A640. I was convinced that I was going to buy the Canon G10 unitl I saw this camera at the store. It's controls and menus are more intuitive, has a better feel and grip, takes unbelievable low ISO photos, has a strong pop up flash and does not have the bulk of the G10. You need to compare the G10 and P6000 in person before buying one -- they feel totally different in hand -- it's a very subjective call.
The GPS is a cool feature but to me it's secondary. I don't know how useful it will be for my needs.
My only real disappointment was Nikon's decision to include an AC adapter rather than an external battery charger in the box. I purchased the external charger with the camera.

Comments about Nikon Nikon Nikon Coolpix P6000 Digital Camera (Midnight Black):
the product is great for use in close ups, especially in nature. it feels sturdy and it works at a click of a button, but at the same time allows you to modify multiple photography variables. only problems are that in low light, there is a lot of noise that you have to work around and the autofocus is mediocre in half of your shooting situations. also, the liveview screen in poor for shooting and reviewing pics due to its low resolutionstill, a good buy.

Comments about Nikon Nikon Nikon Coolpix P6000 Digital Camera (Midnight Black):
Good single lens reflex cameras are large for travel and somewhat bulky. This little guy comes close.. It feels solid, and amazingly comfortable in the hand. I have been delighted by the sharp, clear pictures.

from Kansas City on 10/28/2008
Comments about Nikon Nikon Nikon Coolpix P6000 Digital Camera (Midnight Black):
I have a Nikon D2Xs with a full range of lenses, and take photos across the range of topics. I find the P6000 is a very capable travel replacement for my large frame device. It has a surprising number of excellent features...I had to read the manual cover to cover to gain a full appreciation for the unit. It has great integration with several flash units – particularly the wireless flash units. Nikon needs a better wireless remote control, though. A powerful wireless remote with a range more than 18 feet is needed. Nikon could use a line of transparent skins for the display. I always cover the displays with sheets designed for cell phones – they work well, but nice custom fit skins would be better.
I would recommend the unit to anyone who wants a simple, yet sophisticated, scene grabber. It is easy to hold and use. The menu settings are easy to find and use – even customize. Buy it. You will LOVE it.

Comments about Nikon Nikon Nikon Coolpix P6000 Digital Camera (Midnight Black):
Do a little research and you'll find out that it lacks on the development side. If you only have a Mac computer you might want to hold off on this one,
i.e. COOLPIX Picture Control NRW (RAW) files can only be processed in-camera. NRW (RAW) files are compatible for use in-camera, with ViewNX (Windows version only, available early October 2008) or with WIC-based applications. Capture NX, Capture NX2 and NEF files are not compatible with NRW (RAW) images.
