Camera of the week Nikon P6000 w/gps

I still like my Canon G9 other than the fact the it is still bulky as a take everywhere camera. This week we take a look at Nikon’s version of the take everywhere camera for the advanced amateur and pro set. The Nikon CoolPix P6000. Like the Canon it can shoot raw, but the Nikon pulls out all the stops and built in a GPS for auto geotagging. This could be useful in lots of professions that involve scouting locations or even remembering where you got that great sunset shot on your family trip. $499 available in September
