Gearing up for the holiday shopping season, Nikon on Thursday unveiled its latest Coolpix line of compact cameras. Six new models in all, highlights include the slim, sexy S60 with a 3.5-inch touch screen, the Wi-Fi-enabled S610c, and the P6000, a powerful yet portable shooter with built-in GPS capability.
The star of the show is clearly the $349.95 Coolpix S60. Trim and svelte, the S60 is lovingly styled in metallic hues of Crimson Red, Espresso Black, Arctic White, Burgundy, Champagne Pink, and Platinum Bronze. Despite its good looks, the camera offers 10 megapixels, a 5x zoom lens, and HDMI connectivity for outputing images and slideshows to HDTVs. Best of all, the back of the device sports a huge 3.5-inch touch screen, which lets you navigate and even perform quick edits on your shots.
Billed by Nikon to be speed demons, the Coolpix S610 and S610c both have 10 megapixel image sensors, 3.6x zoom lenses offering a wide 28mm view on its wide end, and a swift promised start-up time of 0.7 seconds. What separates the S610c from the S610 is its built-in Wi-Fi capability. With it youll be able to e-mail pictures to friends and family directly from the camera, or just upload them to Nikons my PictureTown online storage and photo-sharing service. Expect the S610 and S610c to run for $279.95 and $329.95, respectively.
Nikons flagship Coolpix model is the very capable S710. Decked out with an incredibly sharp 14.5-megapixel sensor and a 3.6x zoom lens with optical image stabilization, the $379.95 camera also has extremely sensitive ISO settings ranging up to 12800. Compose your shots using the S710s 3-inch LCD screen.
If outrageous features are what youre into, the $499.95 Coolpix P6000 shouldnt disappoint. The 13.5-megapixel camera offers many luxuries found in larger, more expensive D-SLR models. The device supports RAW file capture, pop-up flash, and an optical viewfinder. You can also attach external flash units to the camera for more flexible lighting control. The real showstopper here, though, is the cameras built-in GPS capability, which lets photographers "geotag" the exact position, time, and date of their shots. Even more impressive is the P6000s Ethernet port that allows for fast image-file transfer to compatible computers.
Priced at $249.95, the budget Coolpix S560 camera is designed for extreme ease of use and intended for novice shooters. The S560 is equipped with 15 scene modes to make capturing life a simple affair. The camera features a 10-megapixel sensor, a 5x zoom lens, and ISO setting that goes up to 3200. In addition, you can use the S560s 2.7-inch display for framing and sharing shots.
Nikon expects all of these models to ship in September 2008. For more info, check out www.nikonusa.com.
