Product Description

Nikon Coolpix P6000 13.5MP Digital Camera: Class-leading imaging ability is a feature trait of the P6000. A new 13.5 megapixel image sensor captures the finest details with sharp resolution. A 4x Zoom-NIKKOR lens with ED lens elements covers focal lengths from a wide 28mm (35mm format equivalent), delivering clarity and precision throughout its range. And an optimized processing system based on Nikon's original EXPEED digital image-processing concept quickly delivers quality results with faithful color reproduction and subtle tones. Wired LAN support offers easy access to the Internet for automatic and secure online image storage using the Picture Bank service of my Picturetown, which also provides the ability to send images directly to a blog or other websites. And a new built-in GPS (Global Positioning System) unit can record the location of shots when taken and attach ?geotags" with information about latitude and longitude to each image file. This adds the fun of being able to view the location on maps available in ViewNX or my Picturetown, or to edit or add geotag information. New tab-format menu interface adapted from Nikon D-SLR cameras 1 - 1 size (square) format with a choice of three black border options 15 handy scene modes for optimized results in various shooting situations Five movie modes with sound, plus time-lapse movie mode SD SDHC card compatibility for memory expansion / Approximately 48 MB of internal memory for immediate use USB (Hi-Speed) connectivity Up to 4224 x 3168 still image resolution Up to 640 x 480 (TV) video resolution. ++PLUS++ 8GB DELUXE ACCESSORY KIT: 8 Gigabyte SD Memory Card - Card Reader - Memory Card Wallet - EN-EL5 Rechargeable Lithium Ion Replacement Battery - Lens Care & Cleaning Kit - Nikon Camera Carrying Case w/Belt Loop - Pack of LCD Screen Protectors - Flexible Legged Mini Tripod - BONUS!!

All in all the Nikon Coolpix P6000 an ok little point-and-shoot.

But I didn't buy it to be an ok little point-and-shoot. I bought it specifically for location scouting and geotagging.

I have owned the P6000 for several months now, and have NEVER managed to get a signal with the GPS.

Now, I figured it wouldn't exactly be a Garmin. And a little spotty coverage would have been tolerable, but to NEVER get a signal is unacceptable.

And an additional frustration: the hotshoe ONLY works with Nikon flashes. It will NOT fire with non-dedicated flashes or wireless flash triggers.

I have tried it with a Pocket Wizard radio slave, Cactus V2s wireless flash trigger, Canon 430EX speedlite, Vivitar 285HV flash, Nikon SB-19, and Nikon SB-600. The only flashes to work were the Nikon SB-19 and SB-600.

Ace Photo was perfect in getting the unit to me as promised.

I have a Coolpix 5000 so the Coolpix P6000 was similar in function and produces great pictures.

The menu and options are a bit complicated but the point and shoot option produces great pictures for most situations.

The user manual is not very friendly. The print is very small and very light in most paragraph's so it is difficult to read except in very good light. Nikon could improve that issue by producing a larger page manual or using darker print.
