Nikon today introduced twelve (!) new digital cameras
to the COOLPIX S-series, L-series and P-series
lineup.
New S-Series
The new COOLPIX S-series lineup includes the COOLPIX
S9300, S9200, S6300, S4300, S3300 and the S30 models.
The S9300 and S9200 are high-power zoom models
equipped with 18x optical zoom NIKKOR lenses, thin
optics and offer improvements to specifications of the
previous Nikon COOLPIX S9100 model eleased in the
spring of 2011.
The S9300 features a 16.0-megapixel Backside
Illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor. Nikon's BSI sensor
technology increases the flow of light to the sensor's
surface, improving the image quality and reducing
noise. The camera also records Full HD (1080p) movies
with full stereo sound and has a built-in GPS
function.
The backside illumination CMOS image sensor and
lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) system built into
these cameras enable capture of photos of even dimly
lit or dark scenes.
The S6300 is a new model for the high-power, compact
zoom model class. It offers one of the most compact
bodies in its class despite the built-in 10x optical
zoom NIKKOR lens. It also offers an effective pixel
count of 16.0-megapixel and it is equipped with the a
lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function. The
S6300 also shoots full-HD video. The Easy panorama
function enable users to create and share landscapes
or interiors.
The S4300 and S3300 are slim and stylish models that
are slimmer than their predecessors despite their
improved zoom function and built-in VR. The
16.0-megapixel COOLPIX S4300 camera captures photos
and HD video. The S4300 also features a wide-angle 6x
(26mm-156mm) optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens and comes
with a 3-inch touch screen. Nikon's Smart Portrait
System includes the intelligent Smile Shutter function
that automatically recognizes when a subject is
smiling and releases the shutter for picture-perfect
results every time. In addition, a Face-Priority AF
can find and focus up to 12 faces.
The Nikon COOLPIX S3300 is a cost-efficient
16.0-megapixel camera with a 6x (26mm-156mm) optical
Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens. The camera offers 19 Scene
Modes including the Scene Auto Selector, which
analyzes a scene and automatically selects from one of
six scene modes.
Finally, the S30 is a compact digital camera designed
for the entire family. It is designed with a simple
symmetrical and familiar form and it sis equipped with
a new operation system that anyone can quickly master.
What's more, the S30 offers specifications and
functions that ensure fun and worry free shooting in a
wide variety of situations, including dust resistance
and waterproofing to a depth of three meters, shock
resistance that withstands falls from heights of up to
80 cm, application of frames to still images with
shooting, and a slide show function that incorporates
background music and animation.
The COOLPIX S9300 will be available for a suggested
retail price (SRP) of $349.95 in black, red and
silver, while the COOLPIX S6300 will be available for
$199.95 SRP in red, black, silver and blue. The
COOLPIX S4300 will be available for $169.95 SRP in
plum, black, silver, white and red, while the COOLPIX
S3300 will be available for $139.95 SRP in silver,
black, pink, purple and red. The new COOLPIX S-series
cameras will be available in February 2012.
 New COOLPIX P-Series
The updated COOLPIX P-series lineup includes the P310
and the P510 models.
The COOLPIX P510 brings the action close with a 42x
optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens, from a wide 24mm to
a 1,000mm focal range. It features the advanced
optical Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization
technology, a 16.1-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and
high-speed continuous shooting performance (capture
five images at full resolution in approximately one
second.) This compact camera also comes complete with
built-in GPS capabilities, full HD (1080p) movie
recording with stereo sound, and a 3-inch high
resolution (921,000-dot) vari-angle display.
The new COOLPIX P310 tackles demanding low-light
conditions with a 16.1-megapixel Backside Illuminated
(BSI) CMOS sensor, wide ISO range up to 3200 (Hi1 6400
equivalent) and a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, NIKKOR
glass lens.
The camera further fights blur by incorporating
advanced optical VR image stabilization, Advanced
Night Portrait mode, Night Landscape mode and
Backlight/High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode. The Advanced
Night Portrait mode combines consecutive images of the
background while the subject is captured using the
flash, while the Night Landscape mode combines a
series of consecutive shots taken at a fast shutter
speed into a single image with reduced noise. The
Backlight HDR mode merges images of the same scene at
different exposures to achieve a single image with a
broad range of tonal detail.
The COOLPIX P310 also comes equipped with several
features found in D-SLR cameras including manual
exposure control (P/S/A/M) and a new Zoom Memory
function that enables the selection of popular prime
focal lengths during shooting. For more creativity,
the COOLPIX P310 also includes special effects and
filter effects that can be added to photos in-camera
for a quick artistic touch. To facilitate easy
composing, viewing and playback, the COOLPIX P310
features a 3-inch high resolution (921,000-dot) LCD
screen. Finaly, the COOLPIX P310 is able to capture
Full HD (1080p) video at 30 frames-per-second (fps)
with AF, stereo sound and the use of the optical zoom
while recording.
The COOLPIX P510 will be available in February 2012
for a suggested retail price (SRP) of $429.95 and will
be offered in black and red. The COOLPIX P310 will
also be available in February 2012 for $329.95 SRP and
will be offered in black only.
COOLPIX L-series
Nikon's updated L-series cameras include the L810, L26
and the L25 models.
The L810 maintains a compact size despite its 26x
high-power optical zoom lens. The L26 and L25 are
entry-level models that offer 5x optical zoom and
automatic shooting functions.
The L810 is equipped with a CCD image sensor with an
effective pixel count of 16.1-million pixels, a 26x
optical zoom NIKKOR lens that covers angles of view
from the wide-angle 22.5 to super telephoto 585 mm
(equivalent in 35-mm [135] format), and the
lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function. It
offers a side zoom control that have made previous
COOLPIX L-series models popular for their high
performance.
The L26, with its CCD image sensor with an effective
pixel count of 16.1-million pixels, and the L25,
successor to the COOLPIX L23, are both equipped with a
5x optical zoom NIKKOR lens and a 3-inch TFT LCD
monitor. In addition to Easy auto shooting mode and
an independent movie-record button, both of these
models are powered by AA batteries that can be
purchased anywhere. |
