Nikon Coolpix P6000

01 Aug, 2009, 2:58 pm IST | Gagan Gupta | Point and Shoot Point and Shoot

Any way you look at it, the Nikon P6000 has all the makings of a great camera. But as always, it all comes down to how well it performs.

The overall picture quality of the P6000 was excellent under normal lighting. The colors felt fresh while retaining the shade accuracy, and the overall image sharpness was great.

The only noticeable drawback in image quality was that the P6000's higher ISO performance was just average. Sure it's a consumer model with a much smaller sensor than an actual DSLR, but I was still expecting it to have better noise control in higher ISO settings considering it can do ISO 6400.


Though the MRP of the Nikon Coolpix P6000 is a bit steep at Rs. 32,950, we found that the street price with bill and warranty was closer to Rs. 21,000. At that price, the P6000 is without a doubt, a great compact camera to own — whether you're a DSLR user looking for a second camera or an enthusiast. It feels great, works great, and has tons of features that make it future ready. That and the cam will give you great results as long as you can give it decent lighting.
