A range of general test shots are shown over the next two pages. In some cases, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it to show the overall image quality. Some other pictures may be clicked to view the original full-size image.
Here's the usual test shot of the west window of Exeter cathedral to compare detail and sharpness with other cameras. See below for a full-res crop or click to download the full-sized version.

The level of fine detail is extremely high, thanks to the excellent lens and high powered sensor.

With the distortion control switched off the lens produces very little barrel distortion at wide angle.

Switching the distortion control on corrects the barrel distortion.

Centre sharpness is excellent.

Corner sharpness is also very good.

Agrees with first post, no need for GPS & LAN connection for me. I know these 2 features are important for some buyers so Nikon should keep the P6000 but gives us a P7000 with ... more
