About this firmware update
This service provides the software for upgrading the COOLPIX P6000 firmware to v1.2. When performing this firmware upgrade, be sure to upgrade both parts of the firmware as per the installation instructions below. Be aware that operation of your P6000 is not guaranteed if one part of the firmware is upgraded while the other firmware is not.
The following improvements have been made in version 1.2.
- When shooting in a user setting mode at an image quality setting of NRW (RAW) + Fine, NRW (RAW) + Normal, or NRW (RAW) + Basic and Distortion control enabled, some JPEG images were corrupted. This issue has been resolved.
- As distortion control cannot be used in conjunction with interval timer shooting, settings have now been modified so that they cannot be enabled simultaneously.
- Electric current consumption has been reduced.
- When shooting in “P”, “S”, “A”, or “M” mode at an image size setting other than 13M 4224 ×3168 and an image quality setting of NRW (RAW) + Fine, NRW (RAW) + Normal, or NRW (RAW) + Basic, the image size setting switched to 13M 4224 ×3168 when the camera was turned off and then turned on again. This issue has been resolved.

Which digital camera manufacturer is best?
OK – before we start World War III with this discussion, let me set a few ground rules.
1. Be constructive – while simple responses of ‘Canon Rules’ or ‘I love Nikon’ might be easy – tell us WHY you like a particular manufacturer.
2. Respect each other’s opinions – ultimately there’s no right or wrong answer here – different aspects of the different manufacturers will appeal to different people. Argue your case strongly if you like – but let others hold their own opinions also
3. Give examples – tell us about the digital cameras that you’re talking about if you’d like. The more information and the more specific it is – the more we’ll all learn.
Feel free to have fun with this discussion – I’m sure it’ll cause some lively debate. My hope is that through it that those on hunt for a new camera might learn a thing or two (as might the rest of us) and go into their purchase more informed.
