Nikon Coolpix S9500, S9400 and S5200 point-and-shoots debut at CP+ (hands-on video)

Nikon Coolpix S9500, S9400 and S5200 pointandshoots debut at CP handson video

Ready to check out some more point-and-shoots? That’s great news! We’ve got a few more to share. The first two, the Coolpix S9500 and S9400, are nearly identical, save for a few key features. Appearance-wise, it’s difficult to distinguish between the two, especially when they’re powered off. Once you flip them on, however, you’ll probably notice the S9500’s whopping 22x zoom lens, compared to an 18x optic on the S9400. Both include 18.1-megapixel CMOS sensors and very crisp 3-inch OLED displays, while the higher-end S9500 ($350), which is likely to be the only US-bound model, adds built-in WiFi and GPS. Not to be overlooked, the S5200 includes a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor, a 3-inch VGA LCD, 6x optical zoom lens and WiFi for $180.

We caught up with all three compacts at Nikon’s CP+ booth this week, and we were quite impressed with the S9500 in particular. Despite the 22x zoom lens, the camera was very thin and light — it should be able to tuck into a pocket just fine. It included a premium finish, just like its slightly less capable sibling, the S9400, and performed very well during our hands-on. Both of these shooters have sharp OLED displays, which really looked fantastic, along with dedicated mode dials, though we were disappointed to see that Nikon omitted manual shooting options, in favor of some scene presets. The S5200, which was on display in red and blue, had a similar feel and finish, though it was quite a bit more compact, and lacked the OLED screen and mode dial. All of these models are set to ship later this month, but if you’re eager to learn more, you can check ’em out in our hands-on after the break.

Hands-on with Nikon’s Coolpix P520 and L820 superzooms at CP+ (video)

Handson with Nikon's Coolpix P520 and L820 superzooms at CP video

Nikon introduced a pair of step-up superzoom cameras here at CP+, with the P520 designed to meet the needs of advanced amateur shooters and the L820 best suited for casual photographers looking to get a bit closer to the action. Both models include BSI CMOS sensors, with the $450 P520 snapping 18.1-megapixel stills and the $280 L820 capturing 16 megapixels. That first model includes a 42x (24-1,000mm) optical zoom lens while the latter sports a 30x (22.5-675mm) optic — both offer lens-based image stabilization. Both options feature lens-mounted zoom toggles, pop-up flashes and dedicated video capture buttons, but only the P520 offers a dedicated mode dial, and if you’re planning to make changes on the fly, that’s really a necessity.

We caught up with the duo at Nikon’s CP+ booth this week — we were expecting some inconsistency between the two based on price and specs alone, but after trying out both models, the Coolpix P520 is far and above the better option. The VGA-resolution 3.2-inch display was incredibly sharp and bright, and the vari-angle functionality lets you snap overhead and below-eye-level shots with ease. The camera was very responsive and the housing felt quite durable — you definitely get quite a bit for your 450 bucks. The L820, on the other hand, felt very much like a low-end alternative, so unless you’re on a strict budget or in the market for a sub-$300 model, you’ll want to spend for the P520. You should be able to check out both cameras in retail stores beginning later this month, or you can take a look today in our hands-on after the break.

Nikon Coolpix AW110 and S31 ruggedized cams see some action at CP+ (hands-on video)

Nikon Coolpix AW110 and S31 ruggedized cams see some action at CP, we go handson video

You might figure that a climate-controlled exhibition center would offer a safe haven for even the most delicate of electronics, but with thousands of consumers getting handsy with these gadgets, many devices take quite a beating during a week-long trade show. No drop to the floor, counter crush or attendee sneeze is too much for these ruggedized Nikons, however. The Coolpix AW110 and S31 were both designed with wild lifestyles in mind, with waterproof and shockproof housings offering protection on land and under the sea. Our test location this week was limited to a display counter positioned front and center at Nikon’s CP+ booth in Yokohama, so we can’t speak to durability, but both offerings look convincing enough.

With a sticker price of $350, the AW110 is certainly the higher-end of the two. We were particularly taken with the 3-inch OLED display, which looked fantastic — it’s perhaps the sharpest screen we’ve seen on any ruggedized model. The 5x internal zoom lens wasn’t speedier than we expected, but it’ll get the job done. The S31, however, looks very much like a child’s plaything. And, considering the $120 MSRP (for a ruggedized camera, no less), it seems to be priced as such. We’ll let you make that call for yourself, however — take a closer look at both point-and-shoots after the break.

Nikon Coolpix S5200 Picks Up FCC Approval

nikon 5200 fcc Nikon Coolpix S5200 Picks Up FCC ApprovalThe folks over at Nikon sure were busy earlier this morning with a slew of digital cameras being announced for the masses, where two of them came with DSLR lenses for the avid shutterbug. Apart from that, the new range of revealed digital cameras will also carry a fair number that boasted of integrated Wi-Fi connectivity, with the Nikon Coolpix S5200 making an appearance over at the FCC while picking up the collective nod of approval from them to boot.

It must be noted that Nikon did let loose all of their cards for the Coolpix S5200 as the FCC filing failed to deliver anything new that we are yet to be aware of concerning the digital camera. Well, out of the few Coolpix digital cameras that we talked about today, just which model caught your fancy, and you have your heart as well as mind set on picking one up as a gift for your other half this coming Valentine’s Day? These should not really cost you all that much, as none of them are super high end models.

A Coolpix for every budget? Nikon’s got you covered with this latest lineup of compact point-and-shoots. The S9500, priced at $350, offers a standard mid-range lineup of pocketable-cam specs. There’s an 18.1-megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI CMOS sensor, an impressive 22x 25-550mm zoom lens and a 3-inch OLED display. As you might expect from a camera in this price range, Nikon threw in embedded WiFi and GPS, letting you geotag and upload your pics directly from the camera. Next up is the $180 S5200, which manages to squeeze in a 16-megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI CMOS sensor and a 6x, 26-156mm optically stabilized zoom lens. You’ll use the 3-inch HVGA LCD to navigate the updated (and simplified) user interface. Both of these cameras offer 1080/30p HD video capture modes, too.

Budget-cam hunters might like the $120 Coolpix L28, which is largely identical to its predecessor, the L26, save for a new CCD sensor that snaps 20.1-megapixel stills, rather than the 16.1-megapixel shots you’d be able to grab with 2012’s offering. Otherwise, you’ll find a 5x, 26-130mm zoom lens with a maximum aperture range of f/3.2-6.5, a 3-inch QVGA LCD, 720p video shooting and an AA battery compartment. All three cameras are set to ship in late February, and will be available in black. The S9500 will also sport a red or silver finish, the S5200 can be had in blue, purple or red, while the L28 will come in red and silver. Try to hold back your excitement.

Get your superzoom on with Nikon’s Coolpix P520 and L820

Get your superzoom on with Nikon's Coolpix P520 and L820

Oh, the superzoom camera — it’s not a compact and the lens doesn’t twist off, but for one reason or another, this confused category has survived against the odds. So, if superzooms happen to be your shooter of choice, we’ve got some good news: Nikon’s got a new pair to add to the pickins. For those with deeper pockets, the Coolpix P520 might be on order, with an 18.1-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and a 3.2-inch vari-angle (tilt-and-swivel) VGA display. There’s a 42x f/3.0-5.8, 24-1,000mm lens on board, netting you quite a bit of range. It also offers 1080/60i HD video shooting and WiFi compatibility through the optional ($60) WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter.

Casual photographers might be more taken with the Coolpix L820, which still packs a fair amount of punch, thanks to a 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, a 30x, 22.5-675mm zoom lens with optical VR, and 1080p video shooting. Unlike its more feature-packed sibling, though, this model uses AA batteries — which you might be into if international travel is on the agenda (those disposable cells are available worldwide, which helps if you aren’t keen on plugging in a charger). Both offerings will hit stores in late February, with the P520 available for $450 and the L820 shipping for $280, in your choice of black or red finishes.
