I don't usually traffic in unsubstantiated product rumours, but since this appears real enough, and I'm not under NDA on this product, I'll take it at face value.
I've heard from a number of people in Europe over the past couple of days that Nikon will ship the Coolpix P6000 next month. This camera is a direct competitor to Canon's G9 in the high-end digicam niche.
Specs include a 13.5 MP sensor, 28-112mm 4X zoom, VR optical image stabilization, Raw Mode, ISO to 6400, and an optical viewfinder.
Looks like Nikon has decided to challenge Canon in even the most specialized market niches. It appears as if Nikon's European subsidiaries have taken lessons in product leaking from Canon.
I'll review the P6000 when it becomes real.
