Customer Reviews

Great Point & Shoot
After reading all the other reviews I couldnt help but laugh....what did you guys think this camera was going to be? For those of you not old enough to remember I can assure you that back in the Nikon F days of the late 60s & early 70s the 35mm rangerfinders were a compromise vs the SLRs too That what this camera is a compromise between a DSLR and a DP&S glorified digital instamatic. This is actually the first digital P&S camera I have ever owned but have in the past owned a D-70 and currently have a D-200 with the extra battery pack and many Nikon lenses including the 300 2.8 which weighs a ton. But I needed a very small HQ camera that would fit in my pocket give some of the creative control I wanted be durable and most of all be one 20th the weight of my other camera gear so I would carry it with me all the time and the P6000 has filled that need. In the last week and a half I have given this little camera a great workout and tried every conrol feature every image quality feature time lapse GPS & more and have had better than good results in many different modes and conditions leading me to say I am more than happy with this camera because I didnt expect too much and judged it on its own merits. It will require a bit tweaking to get the image you want but it is well worth it in the end and that is one part of photography I have always liked the best playing around with the equipment until I get the results I want I agree the GPS is semi useless inside a building and the battery life could be better but overall I like this little camera and really enjoy having it with me at all times to capture lifes unexpected moments.

Good as a P&S only I think.
let me start out by saying I know nothing about cameras. I am your every day user. Eric Hwang has put most of the concerns I have about this camera. I have only had this camera for about three hours now and see the power and GPS issues he talks about. I need to take pictures at remote radio sites on public land. I wanted to be able to know where the picture was taken. I order to find the name of the mountain and name of the site after a week or two on the road. I wise that Nikon would have used the USB power as a charger too. With the GPS on the battery life is short. I think it was about two hours just sitting on the table connected to my laptop. The owners manual tells you to turn on the GPS off when the camera is not in use so that it does not run the battery down. The software that comes with the camera is not as good as the FREE software that comes with Canons P&S cameras. Nikon wants you to pay for their program called Capture NX 2. I have not used it yet so I dont know why I would pay for the program yet. My needs for the options that dont work nicely on this camera may cause me to send it back. I will test this camera out for a day or two once I get the memory card camera came with little internal memory. This is my first and may be my last Nikon. Yes I am a Canon fain to date and if this is how all Nikons are than I may stay that way. This is how I see its faults.

Poor Image Quility and even worse software
You can not edit the pictures on picture project a super fast ans easy Nikon software Its super quick and easy to re-sharpen and crop. the softwart package it comes with well it might as well have not come with anything. The camera is built very well and easy to use lots of options to select from I would just have expected better picture quality for a Nikons top of the line point and shoot. Maybe Im just use to my Nikon D-300 cameras. Very disappointed
