Generally, some of the advantages of the Nikon P6000 compared to super zoom competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/2.7 vs f/3.0), is much smaller (mid size 107x65x42 mm vs professional size 123x92x108 mm), takes much higher resolution photos (13.4 MP vs 9.7 MP), has a much larger sensor (1/1.8" 7.4x5.6mm vs 1/2.3" 6.2x4.6mm) and significantly higher boost light sensitivity (6,400 ISO vs none).
However, on average it has way more less zoom (4x vs 35x), records lower quality movies (480p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 24fps), has a significantly narrower wide angle lens (28 mm vs 24 mm), has a slightly smaller screen (2.7" vs 3.0") and has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 920k dots).
