Thoughts on nikon P6000?

[NRose8989]

So there's really no reviews from trusted sites (at least that i know of?).

What do some of you guy/gals think of it?

I have a XTi but I'm thinking about selling it for a high end P&S because I don't foresee me getting into different lenses and/or changing them and I really don't like carrying a DSLR around but I do like having control over the photographs.

I'm leaning between this and the G10 (or G9, but I like having newer tech). I hear a lot of great things about the lumix but I don't think the lens has enough "range" if you will (24-60mm i think?)

and now since apple just added camera RAW support for the P6000, It's looking a lot more appealing.

People seem to be rather underwhelmed by the P6000. Many people think Nikon doesn't really seem to "get" the P&S market.

You might want to read the Luminous Landscape's head-to-head comparison between the G10 and the P6000.

Thom Hogan has now weighed in with his "Compact Shootout". Boy, the P6000 really doesn't seem to stand up well to the competition.

If you have a Mac, RAW from the P6000 won't work.

Besides, from experience, Nikon makes wonky PnS cameras.

Ya good thing I didn't jump the gun, Looks like I'm gonna be in the market for a G10!

This is actually incorrect now that Apple released the 2.3 version of their camera support - both iPhoto and Aperture can read the wonky pseudo-RAW format.

I won't disagree with the other part of your post though. As good as their dSLRs are, they seem intent on shooting themselves in the foot in the P&S market in so many ways.

Ah, I didn't really follow any developments. I just initially heard NRW was designed to only work with Windows.
