This news is a couple weeks old, but Tony’s comment on my “I want new camera” post reminded me to share this with my loyal readership.  Aside from appearing to be a bit larger than I would like, the Nikon P6000 appears to cover most of the bases.

• 13.5 megapixel CCD (effective)
• 4x wide-angle zoom lens (28 - 112 mm equiv.) with optical stabilization
• 2.7″ LCD monitor (230,000 pixels)
• ISO 64 - 1600 at full resolution (3200 and 6400 at three megapixels)
• NRW RAW format
• Built-in GPS receiver records location (latitude and longitude for automatic geotagging)
• External flash and lens accessories
• Wired LAN port
• Face-priority AF
• D-Lighting

What this means to me is that the GPS camera market is starting to heat up, and my dream of several options to choose from by Christmas time appears to be coming true.  If they could take this camera, make it smaller, and sacrifice some of the features I don’t need like external flash and the excessive megapixels I think we’d have a winner.
