| Nikon Coolpix P6000 13.5MP Digital Camera with 4x Wide Angle Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom.
I paid $360 in January 2009. Includes $18 leather Nikon case for P6000. Does not include SDHC card. Works fine, no defects or problems... I'm just gathering the resources to buy an SLR with video capability.
In original packaging with all manuals and cables, battery, charger, etc., almost like new... lightly used. This is one of my favorite little cameras. When a Pro Nikon shooter uses a point-and-shoot, the P6000 or P7000 is the model of choice. This is one of the few point-and-shoot cameras that shoots in RAW and has full manual controls, and the only one that also has built-in GPS for automatic geo-tagging of every image. The Nikon P6000 is the superior Nikon equivalent to the small non-SLR Canon G12, generally the Pro choice for Canon shooters, but which is also bulkier and larger. I'm normally an all Canon shooter except when it comes to this category of small-carry camera. For some an optical viewfinder is essential, and the P6000 has that, as well as a hot shoe for external flash.
Announced August 2008. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0808/08080702nikonp6000.asp said
"Nikon has announced its flagship compact, the Coolpix P6000. Built around a 13.5 megapixel, 1/1.72 inch sensor (0.41 square cm), the camera has a 4x zoom starting at a respectably wide-angle - equivalent to 28mm. It also records RAW files in a new NRW format [now supported by Adobe Photoshop/Lightroom...]. The other stand-out feature is the inclusion of built-in GPS logging of the locations at which images were recorded... shipping in September for ... $500."
Note that the newer Nikon P7000 does not have the GPS feature of the P6000 ASIN: B001DO15J2.
