anyone know anyone that has one ? has it even been released ? i cant find any reviews on it, nothing. for a "flagship" camera this seems bizarre to me that there is just zero info out there apart from specs. there are barely any flickr photos either.

i want a P&S for xmas and the p6000 seemed ideal for me cos i can use the sb400 on it aswell. but the more time goes on without any kind of feedback the more i think that it may end up being just a big pile of crap. do you guys think that new RAW format has buried it ? what gives ???

They are in store already, dont know anyone that has one yet though. I think the new Windows RAW has put a dent into its potential.

what does windows raw actually mean ? can you edit it as a raw image or not ?

apparently ADOBE can edit it, it is just a format designed by MicroSHIT. I am just hoping that Nikon bring back NEF as an option in a firmware upgrade

so you can open it in CS3 and edit in ACR ? thats not too bad. compeltely unbelievabley insane that CNX2 cant open it. i cant understand that at all.

well, loooks like nikon screwed up royally with the coolpix again.

i especially like this conclusion...lol

Conclusion: If you need pixels, you need the Canon, hands down. If you need the fast, wide, defect-free lens, you need the Panasonic. You don't need the Coolpix.

Gotta love Mr Hogan!!! Always good to read his stuff cause he does point out the problems with the Nikon gear.

I bought my wife one for her trip to VietNam. (And also to offset the sting of me buying a D700 )

I didnt take many images with it, but had a bit of a play. Has a really nice solid feel to it, with a 'retro' type of design, nice large control wheels etc, also a nice heavy feel, like it's a solid construction. It is very easy to drive, with the manual settings extremely easy to use, without needing to read the instructions. LCD is big and bright also.

I got my from Teds on the Gold Coast, near Australia Fair.
