Nikon has released an update to the COOLPIX P6000 firmware. This resolves a number of issues including:

• Corruption of some images when shooting in certain RAW modes
• Power consumption improvements to extend battery life

The firmware is available in two versions, for Windows and Macintosh, and can be downloaded from the links below:

• Nikon COOLPIX P6000 firmware update v1.2 (Windows)
• Nikon COOLPIX P6000 firmware update v1.2 (Mac)

Please follow the instructions carefully when updating your firmware. If you'd prefer, Camera-Warehouse offers a firmware update service. Please get in touch if you'd like us to update your firmware for you.

With the popularity of Canon's EOS 5D mark II and Nikon's recent launch of the FX-sensor based D3, D700 and D3X (...drool...), is it just a matter of time before full frame sensors are fitted as standard?

There's no question that the images from any of these cameras are, on average, a large step above their more common APS-C endowed counterparts, so will consumer pressure drive manufacturer's to include 35mm frame sensors on all the models, or is this just too great a differentiator between professional and prosumer models?
