Nikon announces slew of new Coolpix digital compact cameras

nikon-coolpix-s9700When it comes to digital compact cameras, these are dime a dozen out there in the market, although you would find that most folks would want to take the route of the DSLR or a System Camera in order to capture better looking shots. Nikon still sees the Coolpix range of digital compact cameras as part of their bread and butter, and has recently introduced a trio of models under the Nikon Coolpix S-series, where they will all feature a high-power zoom model that is equipped with a range of exposure modes, a Wi-Fi function, location data functions with a built-in world map, and support for movie recording with 5-axis vibration reduction, in addition to a family model which delivers simple operation and features including water- and shockproof capability.

First of all, we have the Nikon Coolpix S9700 which is a super high-power zoom model that will boast of a 30x optical zoom lens, a quartet of exposure modes which will expand shooting possibilities, Wi-Fi connectivity, and location data functions with a built-in world map.

As for the Nikon Coolpix S9600, this stylish, compact model will be able to deliver simple operation and comes equipped with a Pre-focus autofocus mode, Glamour Retouch functions, and supports recording of movies with 5-axis vibration reduction

For those who feel that their little ones could be a liability when it comes to handling a camera, or simply want to be prepared for those unexpected moments, then the Nikon Coolpix S32 would fit the bill perfectly. Touted to be a “worry-free” model, just about anyone is able to enjoy snapping photos using this bad boy as it comes with advanced water- and shockproof capabilities. You can basically use it in depths of up to approximately 10 meters deep, and it can withstand falls from a height of approximately 1.5 m. There is also an Image Lock function so that everyone who uses it would not delete any of the images by accident.

Any takers out there for the cameras above?

Nikon Coolpix AW120 sets the tone for a rugged camera

nikon-aw120There are cameras, and then there are cameras. Nikon continues to raise the bar with their latest digital compact camera known as the Nikon Coolpix AW120. Just what makes the Nikon Coolpix AW120 so special from most of the cameras that are out there in the market? Judging by the external pattern alone on the image above, you get a picture that the Coolpix AW120 is not a fragile device, bearing the rough-and-tumble markings of a soldier’s uniform camouflage. Well, we are pleased to say that the Nikon Coolpix AW120 happens to be waterproof, shock-proof and cold-resistant model, and it does not come up short in terms of capability either, as it boasts of a wide-angle 24mm zoom NIKKOR lens that offers a maximum aperture of f/2.8, making it fast enough for shooting underwater and in dark surroundings.

Apart from that, the Nikon Coolpix AW120 will also be accompanied by five-axis vibration reduction which will effectively suppress the effects of camera shake with movie recording. On the outside, the tough material used to encase the sensitive electronics within delivers worry-free use in hard-core outdoor situations, where it is also waterproof to depths of approximately 18 meters. As for its shockproof capabilities, it can withstand falls from up to approximately two meters, and the cold-proofing has been done in such a way that it can withstand temperatures as low as approximately -10°C.

Not only that, you will find a range of functions which can support an active outdoor life, including a built-in world map, functions for acquiring location data from GPS and GLONASS satellites, and functions that display altitude, water depth, atmospheric pressure, and water pressure in the camera monitor. the integrated Wi-Fi capability also makes it a snap for the avid shutterbug to transfer photos from one smart device to another without having to deal with pesky wired cables, making life a whole lot more convenient. Could the Coolpix AW120 usher in the golden era of the Olympus Mju all over again?

Olympus OM-D E-M10 camera announced

olympus_omd_em10The world of photography has certainly improved by leaps and bounds over the years, and this has also led to a thriving cottage industry of wedding photographers who have seemingly mushroomed in recent times. After all, it is a whole lot more affordable than film photography as you do not need to have that kind of innate skill right from the get go – just shoot and pray that one shot out of the many will look good when loaded onto the computer. Still, this is not to discount the fact that eventually, quality work and skill will win in the end, and having the right tool would go a long way in helping you along your journey. With the Olympus OM-D E–M10 camera, this interchangeable lens camera will merge outstanding image quality, speed and power of the flagship Olympus OM-D E-M1 and the Olympus OM-D E-M5 into an extremely compact and stylish all-metal body.

We are able to find that it boasts of the new TruePic VII image processor which can be found in the OM-D E-M1, a 16 megapixel Live MOS sensor, Wi-Fi connectivity, a large, high-speed electronic viewfinder, 3-axis image stabilization, ultrafast autofocus and a built-in flash, making it the ideal device that will be able to deliver quality images without breaking the bank. Accompanied by the new , super-slim M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm f 3.5-5.6 EZ pancake zoom lens and the super-bright M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 25mm f1.8, it will also see the expansion of the Olympus Micro Four Thirds line all the way to 15 lenses.

It is also touted that the on-board FAST AF happens to be Olympus’ fastest-ever AF system that relies on 81 target areas which cover the entire image. Both small AF Target and Super Spot AF modes would also make it possible to zoom in and focus accurately on minute sections of the frame. The E-M10 can also capture high-speed action with 8fps sequential shooting, as the fast processor supports continuous capture of up to 20 RAW frames or an unlimited number of JPEG frames, and the Continuous Auto Focus with Tracking mode accurately tracks and captures moving subject as fast as 3.5 fps. Expect the Olympus OM-D E-M10 to be available this coming March in black and silver shades for $699.99 for the body only.
