Nikon Coolpix P6000 13.5MP 4X VR, Black

The Nikon COOLPIX P6000 features 13.5 megapixels, a new, built-in global positioning system (GPS) unit, my Picturetown connectivity and the power of Nikon's exclusive EXPEED image processing concept.  The P6000 is the perfect photographic tool for photo and camera enthusiasts seeking the creative control of a D-SLR in the compact body of a COOLPIX camera.

With the added GPS function, P6000 users will be able to record "geotags" of the location where their images are captured based on latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates. This will allow users to pinpoint the location via maps available in Nikon ViewNX Software, my Picturetown, Nikon’s photo sharing and storage website, or any other software or website that recognizes GPS data.  A dedicated ethernet port built into the P6000 allows users to upload photos directly from the camera to the secure picture bank on my Picturetown simply and easily.

The COOLPIX P6000  offers creative control via intuitive, dedicated command and mode dials, providing easy access to shooting controls and exposure mode settings. Adding even more synergy between D-SLR cameras and COOLPIX cameras, the P6000 incorporates a pop-up flash, optical viewfinder for easy composition and the added bonus of system expansion with an optional convertor, Speedlights, and wireless remote control.

Additional shooting innovations engineered to maximize image quality and offer greater control over the final results include Nikon’s original COOLPIX Picture Control System and a new NRW* (RAW) support. The COOLPIX Picture Control System features intuitive controls that enable users to adjust their images to pre-set parameters.

Nikon's new 0.76x Wide-angle Convertor WC-E76 (sold seperately) offers users the option to utilize focal lengths as wide as 21mm (35mm format equivalent).  P6000 users can also take full advantage of Nikon's Creative Lighting System with the built-in accessory shoe that supports Nikon's i-TTL flash control, which enables wireless control over one group of remote Speedlights including the newly announced SB-900 Speedlight.

The P6000 features a quality finish and a front panel constructed of solid Magnesium alloy, as well as a comfortable grip and well-placed controls for streamlined performance.
