With the Coolpix P6000, Nikon shows exactly what is meant with a serious digital compact camera for the serious photographer. The camera of the P-series should be able to distinguish itself from the masses, and this is in fact exactly what the P6000...

The Nikon Coolpix P6000 is a good camera in its own right, but doesn't quite cut the mustard when compared to its main rivals, the Canon PowerShot G10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. There are just too many rough edges, with the noisy images at slow ISO...

In addition to Program, Aperture- / Shutter-priority and Manual exposure modes, the Coolpix P6000 offers a selection of 15 different scene-optimized modes, several movie modes with sound (including a time-lapse mode), and a macro mode that can focus...

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...

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...

All things considered, the Coolpix P6000 is a decent camera, but not a great one. It has a lot to live up to as the flagship of Nikon's compact lineup, and in that respect, it disappoints. While the P6000 is worth a look, I think the competition from...

RAW format, Excellent handling and ergonomics, Strong image quality at low ISOs, Sharp Nikon lens with useful zoom range, Pocketable size and weight, Color controls, Optical viewfinder

Relatively high price, Auto focus average to slow, Menu interface slow, Slow card write speed/small buffer, No live histogram, Lens relatively slow f/5.9 at 112mm, Manual focus is imprecise, Hot shoe only works with Nikon Speedlites, Ethernet only for...

Coolpix P6000 Not Recommended ; a decent performing Coolpix, but there's nothing stellar here; you can do better.

Generally solid auto focus, Customizable interface couldn't be much better, Pro-grade build quality, Rich, detailed images at lower ISOs

Luminance noise shows up in regular-sized prints, GPS, network connectivity could have both been better, Screen and viewfinder not a great combo, Flash recycle times measurable with a calendar, Underwhelming battery life
