by Damon Webster

Photo Induced’s Damon Webster said in his January review that the COOLPIX P6000 will provide any photographer with “excellent photographic results.” Taking this camera on an assignment to Paris, Webster noted the camera’s “smaller, lighter and more compact” size is a big plus while traveling. The in-camera GPS easily tracked where all Webster’s photos were taken for later reference. Webster concluded by saying “it did what we expected, in a nice compact, light package.”

Keller concluded by saying that even though the camera is geared toward the enthusiast, the COOLPIX P6000 has many features that even a beginner can appreciate.

Review

October 2008, Nikon COOLPIX P6000

by Will Safer

Will Safer of Popular Science recently reviewed the Nikon COOLPIX P6000. Safer was amazed with the P6000's GPS feature and its ability to add the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of the location where a picture was taken. Though some camera phones already come with GPS features, Safer stated that no camera phone packed the photo-taking abilities of the COOLPIX P6000. Safer later praised the P6000 because of its 13.5 megapixels, its 4x zoom lens and its low-light shooting up to ISO 6400 sensitivity.
