The finely crafted body feels immediately familiar in the hand, demonstrating Nikon’s commitment to building the COOLPIX P6000 for true camera enthusiasts. It features a quality finish and a front panel made of solid magnesium alloy (Mg), a comfortable grip covered in grid-pattern rubber, and logically placed controls that simplify and streamline camera operation. There’s also an optical viewfinder that aids composition, particularly in brightly-lit conditions. Another major feature is system expandability, which supports the use of external flash and converter lens components, further expanding the photographic possibilities of the COOLPIX P6000.
