"There were no real surprises with Nikon's new Coolpix digicam line-up -five of the seven 2010 models take HD videos. The digicam we're reviewing-the 14.2-megapixel S8000-captures stereo 720p HD clips at 30 fps. Yet the last time we looked, the Coolpix and its ilk are cameras, so still quality should be paramount. Let's see how this package adds up."

Barring any earth-shattering announcements at the PMA photo convention in March, the current megapixel peak for compact digicams is close to 15, while DSLRs like the Sony A900 hit 24.6. In Nikon's aim-and-forget Coolpix lineup, the S710 has a 14.5MP sensor, the highest in that series. Of course there's also the ridiculous 24.5MP Nikon D3x DSLR for a mere eight grand, if you're a fanboy of this brand! The far more affordable S710 has other notable features including a wide-angle 3.6x zoom, a 3-inch LCD screen, optical image stabilization and a top ISO of 12,800 - for under $300. In theory this sounds like God's gift to shutterbugs, but are more megapixels what you really need or are there more important intangibles? Let's charge the battery and find out.

Nikon boasts their Coolpix S600 as the camera with the world's fastest start-up time and the world's most compact design. We set out to check out these claims as well as to test the capabilities of this small point-and-shoot camera. We will look at the S600 from the view-point of the everyday photographer.

Targeting newer photographers, the Nikon D60 is priced right and includes a fantastic feature set. On top of the 10MP sensor, the D60 includes an automatic sensor cleaner, a vibration reduction kit lens, fast 3FPS performance, high ISO modes and a lot more.

The CoolPix S50c is an attractive and well-made camera, and the WiFi capability is both useful and easy to use, but its sluggish performance, unimpressive picture quality and very slow AF system are major problems. Considering the price, unless you really want that wireless connectivity it's a hard camera to recommend.

Despite the prestigious Nikon badge, the S200 is a pretty run-of-the-mill ultra-compact, with little to distinguish it from several competing models. It is very slim and light, build quality is well up to the usual Nikon standard, and the camera handles well. The electronic vibration reduction also works well, and does give the camera a slight edge over models with only ISO-boost, but this is let down by terrible low-light focusing, average performance and indifferent image quality. Not too bad for the price, but there are better ultra-compact cameras, and better Nikons.

Up until recently, Nikon's line-up has had many gaps. This past March though, they released their P5000 advanced point-and-shoot camera alongside their D40x D-SLR. Today we are taking a look at the latter, which turns out to be a fantastic offering for those looking to take the plunge into high-quality photography.

The CoolPix P5000 is a significant camera for Nikon. For the past couple of years the company has been concentrating its efforts on its successful and growing range of digital SLRs, and its ever-changing line-up of consumer-level pocket compacts. As a result it's been a while since Nikon has produced anything else, dumping super-zoom cameras from its range entirely... With the launch of the CoolPix P5000 in February this year, Nikon has returned to that market, and at first glance at least it looks like it means business.

Nothing surprising here. The all-black D40 looks like every other D-SLR out there other than the Nikon logo just below the auto pop-up flash. Anyone looking for something special design-wise won't find it here. Utilitarian is the best descriptor. This camera is rather lightweight, tipping the scales at 27.4 ounces including supplied lens, battery, strap and card. Surprisingly, the Canon XTi feels much more substantial even though it only weighs an ounce more. And it weighs four ounces less than the D80; Nikon had to strip some features in order to hit the sub-$600 price for this "Made In Thailand" camera. Simply put: it does not have the feel or build of other D-SLRs recently reviewed such as the Canon Digital Rebel XTi, Sony alpha or Pentax K10D. It also doesn't cost as much as those cameras; figure around a $200 premium for the Canon and Sony. And don't forget Olympus has an 8MP D-SLR too that goes for less than $600 with a lens (the somewhat long-in-the-tooth E-500).

It's time to put dream into reality with the Nikon D40, a Digital SLR Camera that is both affordable and user-friendly.

The period between the middle of August and the middle of September this year was a busy time in the camera business. In just four weeks Canon, Olympus, Pentax and Nikon all announced new 10-megapixel semi-pro digital SLRs that were so closely matched in specification as to make choosing between them nearly impossible. Add to this the Sony Alpha A100 which was launched two months previously and you can see that Summer 2006 was a hectic few months in the DSLR market.

Back in 2002 Nikon launched one of its most successful models, the Coolpix 4500, a powerful high quality 4-megapixel, 4x zoom camera that became a workhorse for all types of specialist photography, thanks mainly to its 28mm filter thread which allowed it to be attached to telescopes, microscopes, spotting scopes and a wide range of other optical devices. Based on earlier swivel-body Nikon cameras dating back to the Coolpix 900 of 1998, the 4500 enjoyed a production run of four years, as testament to its excellent design and superb image quality.
