Hasta La Gadget!

Earlier today we covered a couple of Nikon’s new digital camera announcements, namely the Android based S800C and the P7700. However if you don’t need Android as your camera’s operating system and you don’t think you need the power behind the P7700, you’re in luck as Nikon has also introduced the Coolpix S01 which we suspect should be able to get the job done while being relatively affordable. Priced at $179.95, the Coolpix S01 features a 10MP image sensor and is powered by Nikon’s EXPEED C2 image processing system and will come with 3x optical zoom. It will sport a 2.5” touchscreen display on the back and will come with 7.3GB of internal storage, a built-in xenon flash, special and filter effects and will support HD video recording in the 720p format. It is expected to go on sale in September and will come in four different colors – red, white, silver or pink. [Press release]

A couple of days ago, we took a look at the leaked image of the Nikon Coolpix S800c, an Android-powered camera which is definitely different from the rest of the digital cameras in the market. After all, one must take note that the Nikon Coolpix S800c is not a smartphone, so just how does the Android platform fare when it is installed onto a device that functions primarily as a digital camera?

Well, you will get built-in Wi-Fi connectivity that works in a similar manner to that of a smartphone or a tablet that runs on Android, complete with Wi-Fi connectivity. Underneath the hood lies a backside illumination CMOS sensor that has an effective pixel count of 16-million pixels and a 10x optical zoom NIKKOR lens, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the Nikon Coolpix S800c will be able to shoot images in a far clearer manner under challenging conditions compared to your smartphone, regardless of how expensive the latter is. You can also record memories in Full HD resolution. (more…)

This week the folks at Nikon are bringing on the heat with not just an Android-powered smart camera, but two more pocket cameras as well. With the Coolpix P7700 you’ll find that a $499 camera can bring on a beastly set of specifications starting with a massive 1/1.7-inch 12.2 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor. The Coolpix S01, on the other hand, will run just $179 for a 10 megapixel CCD sensor-toting camera with a 2.5-inch touchscreen interface.

The Coolpix P7700 is what Nikon is bringing on to fight with the Canon PowerShot G1 X for certain, complete with an adjustable display that flips wherever you need it to, a 7.1x zoom lens, and their own Lens-Shift Vibration Reduction. This unit also has manual controls galore, of course, and the unit is made to be a perfect blend of high-end specifications matched with a simple to use interface.

The Nikon Coolpix S01 brings on an even simpler interface to match its slightly lower-end specifications. It’s certainly not the least powerful camera on the planet with its 10 megapixel CCD sensor and built-in flash, but at just $179 you’ll find yourself unable to resist when you’ve got a couple of bills in your pocket this winter season. You’ve got electronic VR, a 3.1 x 2.1 x 0.7-inch body, and a collection of color choices. You can pick up red, silver, white and pink later this year.

Have a peek at our Nikon tag to see the other devices they’ve brought to the market this season and check the timeline we’ve set up below to see how fabulous their most noteworthy offerings have been. And be sure to check out the Android-powered Nikon Coolpix S800c without a doubt – it’s strange and fabulous!

It makes sense that Nikon’s trotting out a Wi-Fi connected camera just like everybody else. For the people who replaced a real camera with a smartphone camera, taking pictures and posting them online are one and the same activity. But the Coolpix S800c runs Android 2.3 and has 4 gigs of storage for apps. That’s weird! Is Nikon genius for adopting an open OS standard? Or are we so desperate for Wi-Fi that we’ve resorted to Android to get our cameras online? More »

In a bid to give Canon’s PowerShot G1 X a run for its money, Nikon is pulling out every stop it knows with the introduction of the Coolpix P7700. It’s a decidedly prosumer model, priced at a buck under $500 and equipped with a 1/1.7-inch 12.2 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, 7.1x zoom lens (with a maximum aperture of f/2), 1080p movie mode, Lens-Shift Vibration Reduction and full manual control for those who abhor automatic captures. On the opposite side of the spectrum, there’s the $179 Coolpix S01 — a bantam P&S camera that’s bound to snake its way into stockings this holiday season. Specs-wise, it’s packing a 2.5-inch touchpanel, electronic VR, a 10 megapixel CCD sensor, built-in flash and a stainless exterior that measures just 3.1- x 2.1- x 0.7-inches. It’ll ship alongside the P7700 this September, but it’s on you to pick between the red, silver, white and pink color options. The full releases are embedded after the break.
