 GPS has never worked. Jul 26, 2010
If I could find the receipt I would return it. To pay an outrageous premium for a feature and have it not ever work is appalling.
 A Rock Solid Camera With Some Serious Issues Jul 01, 2010
Ok, first off, i would like to give you an idea about how well i know this camera. During the summer of 2009, i biked across America with this camera. And later today, I leave for Tanzania for 5 weeks to climb Kilimanjaro (I'll update this review with this camera's performance). I have had a lot of time to go seriously in depth with this camera, and there are things I love, and things I loathe.
BUILD QUALITY: you can't really tell from the pictures, but it is built like a tank. The body feels like it is mostly metal, a blessing on my bike trip where I had one serious accident that the camera fortunately survived (the back wheel of my bike on the other hand, did not do quite as well). The buttons feel a little mushy, but other than that, its a solid camera.
SCREEN: it's not huge, but it gets the job done.
ISO: this is not a strong point of the camera, at the low end, the noise is negligible, but once you start cranking up the ISO, you get a lot of noise.
PICTURE QUALITY: the picture quality is pretty good, however, unlike Nikon DSLR's it does not boost the contrast to the famous "Nikon Standard" in camera. I wish it did, but it all comes down to personal preference, and editing can be done back on a computer.
GPS CAPABILITY: this was one of the first cameras with GPS built in, and it is, to say the least, "meh." It takes an absurdly long time to get a lock, and don't even think about trying to get a lock indoors or anything less than an open field. And try not to move either, it will throw it off. But fortunately, once it has a lock, it is very stable and it is very hard for the camera to lose the lock.
BATTERY LIFE: it is a pretty bad battery, not a newer generation type, and the inefficient GPS module kills it quickly. I have higher hopes for the [hypothetical] P7000 in this regard.
OVERALL: a meh camera, but that's what you get for being on the cutting edge. Hopefully the P7000 will have a superior GPS chip, a better battery, and less noise. if they can do that, i would buy it on in a heartbeat. But for now, I would buy one of the Sony [Sony DSC-HX5V], Samsung [Samsung HZ35W], Or Panasonic [Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7] P&S cameras if GPS is important to you
Frustrating! What's Gone Wrong with Nikon??? Jun 21, 2010
I haven't been able to get the P6000 to work. When I first turned it on, the multi-selector did not work so I could not get the camera set up. I called Nikon and after a long hold, I reached Nikon support. They said to send it to them via an (expensive) overnight service, which cost me twenty bucks or so (plus the inconvenience of a trip to town). Eventually the camera came back. It still did not work, in fact, it won't even turn on.
I thought maybe it was my battery so I ordered a new one. Finally that came and I charged it and tried the camera again. Nothing. It won't turn on.
So I called Nikon tech support again. Held for 5 minutes and got disconnected. Called again. After another long hold, I got someone who said they would send me a label for returning it with the shipping paid by them this time. Which is what I'll do, but frankly this is an imposition.
I've had several Nikons in the past and they were great. Apparently this one is a lemon. But judging from the slow phone support and the fact that a defective camera was returned unrepaired, the company is not dedicated to quality service any more.
GPS doesn't work so not worth buying. May 31, 2010
I bought this camera so I could have a good compact camera with integral GPS to automatically tag photos with their locations. I ordered the camera with 2 day shipping. Wall Street Photo didn't ship until after I sent them an email five days after I placed the order. They did send it with 2 day shipping however. I have the used the camera for over a month. Picture quality is good. Usability is fair. The image capture time is very slow slow which means you can't shoot several pictures in rapid succession. The power on/off switch is poor and often has to be pressed several times.
The fatal flaw however is the GPS which is so insensitive that it simply doesn't work. In the entire time I've used the camera I have gotten a GPS lock only once. Without the GPS there is no reason to pay the higher cost of this camera.
I emailed Wall Street asking for a refund and received no response. Now I tried Amazon. I do not recommend either this camera or Wall Street Photo. Amazon needs to take a closer look at its partners.Nikon Coolpix S6000 14 MP Digital Camera with 7x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)

 Great Point and Shoot! Mar 10, 2010
I'm just going to give basic views here because there are a lot of great reviews.
I've already taken several thousand photos with this camera and am very pleased with the daylight shots. It excels in good light at ISO 100 to 400. I've set the color enhancement to vivid as I've done with my Canons and the colors come out rich and beautiful! If too much color or I want B&W, I make changes via iPhoto - a very simple process. The photos are crisp, clean and the camera focuses quickly and very well.
Low light situations will require a tripod and some manual adjustments. If it goes over ISO 400, the noise is miserable and the photo is virtually worthless. To avoid that, you will need to use a tripod , which I have only done a couple times since my Canon S2IS does a better job in low lights.
The GPS does take some time to obtain a signal so does not work right away. When it works, it works very well. To that end, I can just add the basic location data to the photos that are missing the information through my software when I download the photos to iPhoto. It's not difficult but can be time consuming. Sadly, I think this was Nikon's first and last consumer level GPS enabled camera. They should have worked on improving it instead of only developing the one model.
The pop-up flash works fine. I've seen some complaints about it but I have no issues and find it adequate in normal situations.
Movie mode is a great disappointment. The microphone does not pick up sound very well and the video quality is just ok. My Canon S2IS does stereo recording and allows the full use of the 10x optical zoom lens during video recording. This newer camera appears to only allow digital zoom. Oh well.
Overall, I love this camera and have no regrets and will keep it for a long time. Nikon, if you had continued to develop the GPS in your models, you would have been on to something great. As it stands, I'm switching again to add the new Sony HX5V to my collection (we always carry two cameras) so that there will be two with GPS. Thank you for getting me hooked on the geotagging - I can't live without it!
