You can not edit the pictures on picture project a super fast ans easy Nikon software, It’s super quick and easy to re-sharpen and crop. the softwart package it comes with, well it might as well have not come with anything.
The camera is built very well and easy to use, lots of options to select from, I would just have expected better picture quality for a Nikons top of the line point and shoot. Maybe I’m just use to my Nikon D-300 cameras.
Very disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was interested in the Nikon P6000, but I am also seriously annoyed by the NRW proprietary RAW file format. I spent all day trying to get windows to read the NRW format without jumping through hoops with no luck.
First I returned the unit, I won’t buy any camera unless it supports a standard file format such as JPG. I bought the P6000 since it fully supports GPS data in the JPG format as well. I am satisfied with the unit, of course there is room for improvement, but it works great.

Firstly, I am NOT a professional or someone you’d turn to for technical camera information. I don’t mean to sound pretentious, but I have more of an “artsy” interest in photography.
Admittedly, I did not go into each and every feature of this camera. The reason I purchased it sight-unseen was because how happy I’d been with my Coolpix 8800 and I liked the idea of a higher number of megapixels as well as the option of a wide-angle lens.
I read the overview Nikon had written prior to release of the camera and I swear it stated that the P6000 would have the viewfinder with the diopter adjustment, just as the 8800 has.
What a disappointment! The viewfinder’s only purpose is for looking through if the ambient lighting is so bright you can’t see the camera screen (which drove me crazy cleaning off fingerprints); it doesn’t show the zoom, the display of your settings, or the review of your pictures. If you have the wide-angle lens attached, part of the viewfinder is obscured.
Maybe I need an upgrade as far as cameras, but it’s very difficult for me to frame a picture without that viewfinder. And by the way, what’s up with the “borders”? Never did understand why they included that feature.
The wide-angle lens was a disappointment as well. Even though I made sure to follow the directions insofar as telling the camera that it was attached and checking the “Distortion” control, my pictures really did not come out as I would have expected – they did appear to have kind of a fish-eye look to them.
The camera is MUCH smaller than the 8800 and although it feels well-made, it just doesn’t feel substantial. Having to purchase the battery charger so your camera’s not out of commission was a negative for me as well. You definitely need a 4GB card.
Also, (as I said I didn’t investigate it thoroughly so please feel free to disagree with me), I didn’t like the fact that the software that comes with the camera is for Nikon’s PictureTown – I liked the old system where you could download your pictures and edit them with Nikon’s simple, but effective program.
Anyway, I’m sure a lot of people will be happy with the P6000, but I felt that I could have gotten just as good of a camera for $200 as the P6000. In fact, I had just helped my girlfriend choose a camera since she’s new to the digital game, that had 12mp, face recognition, etc. for $195!
Hope no one’s put off by my experience, but this is my 2-cents’ worth: The camera just did not meet my expectations.
I’ve returned it and all the accoutrements I purchased for it. I definitely learned that I’m going to a camera store to try cameras out before I purchase online, and as far as pre-ordering, well, that’s not going to happen again.

let me start out by saying I know nothing about camera’s. I am your every day user.
Eric Hwang has put most of the concerns I have about this camera. I have only had this camera for about three hours now and see the power and GPS issues he talks about. I need to take pictures at remote radio sites on public land. I wanted to be able to know where the picture was taken. I order to find the name of the mountain and name of the site after a week or two on the road.
I wise that Nikon would have used the USB power as a charger too. With the GPS on the battery life is short. I think it was about two hours just sitting on the table connected to my laptop. The owner’s manual tells you to turn on the GPS off when the camera is not in use so that it does not run the battery down.
The software that comes with the camera is not as good as the FREE software that comes with Canon’s P&S cameras. Nikon wants you to pay for their program called Capture NX 2. I have not used it yet, so I don’t know why I would pay for the program yet.
My needs for the options that don’t work nicely on this camera may cause me to send it back. I will test this camera out for a day or two once I get the memory card, camera came with little internal memory. This is my first and may be my last Nikon. Yes, I am a Canon fain to date and if this is how all Nikon’s are than I may stay that way.
This is how I see its faults.

I was disappointed with the 13.5 real, mega pixels. I guess I shouldn’t compare it to my Nikon D60 zoom lens. It is very good for Macro and regular indoors point and shoot photos.
