Nikon P6000: digital SLR control in a compact design

MELVILLE, NY (Aug. 7, 2008) – Nikon Inc. today introduced its newest flagship COOLPIX compact camera, the COOLPIX P6000. Featuring 13.5 megapixels, a new, built-in global positioning system (GPS) unit, my Picturetown connectivity and the power of Nikon’s exclusive EXPEEDTM image processing concept, the P6000 offers the perfect photographic tool for the photo and camera enthusiasts seeking the creative control of a D-SLR in the compact body of a COOLPIX camera.

Depending on your point of view, the only thing that’s exciting or really weird is that instead of the now-common USB port, the Nikon P6000 has an RJ45 Ethernet jack.  But with GPS tagging to label every image with exactly where it was taken, we suppose it’s okay to overlook a minor blast backward to the past.  It’s extremely easy to use, being a truly point and shoot camera, and the controls are intuitive, making it ideal for amateur photography that aspires to professionalism.  And 13.5 megapixels provides all the resolution your are likely to need, for at least another few years.
