Nikon has today announced several new Coolpix cameras. We start here with the new Coolpix S10, which updates the Coolpix S4, offering the same 6 million pixels and 10x swivel zoom lens, but adding CCD-shift Vibration Reduction and increased sensitivity (to ISO 800). (continue reading…)
The Coolpix S500 digital camera, which appears to be very similar to the S200 except is has ‘real’ optical image stabilization and an ISO 2000 setting, also has a slightly wider (35-105mm) zoom range. The slim metal body is available in black or silver and sports a 3x zoom and 2.5-inch LCD screen. (continue reading…)
Nikon has chosen today to announce its new Coolpix digital camera lineup, debuting at PMA in a couple of weeks. By far the most interesting new model is the P5000, a fully-featured 10 megapixel camera with stablized 3.5x zoom, 2.5-inch screen and very compact design. Could this be the camera to put Nikon back on the high-end compact map? (continue reading…)
The Coolpix S50 and S50c digital cameras (the latter has an improved version of Nikon’s WiFi transfer functionality) continue the S series’ tradition with slim cases, 3x zooms, big (3.0-inch) screens and 7.1 megapixel CCDs. The good news is that the new models are even smaller, and have the added benefit of optical image stablization (VR). In the UK both cameras will be exclusive to specific retailers (Amazon and DSG respectively). (continue reading…)
Last but not least is the Coolpix L12 digital camera, a well-specified ‘budget’ camera with 3x zoom, optical image stabilization (VR) and 7.1 million pixel CCD. The L12 also sports a 2.5-inch LCD screen, ISO 1600 and – like all the models here – Nikon’s D-Lighting, Face Detection and Red-Eye Fix features. (continue reading…)
