The Nikon Coolpix S210, S520, S550, and S600 will all be joining the company’s Style series of compacts, according to an announcement this evening. Three new cameras and a replacement broaden the range of offerings in Nikon’s S line, which offers solid features, imposing styling, and impressive image quality, but has yet to really vie for dominance with the strongest competitors in the ultra-compact market. All four new models bring more advanced features to the table, including large, sharp LCDs, improved high ISO performance, Nikkor optics, and in several cases, Optical Vibration Reduction.

January 29, 2008 by Kameraderie · Leave a Comment
Wireless image transfer has been gaining interest and popularity by leaps and bounds in the past year.

Building on the basic concept introduced by the Coolpix P50, the 8.1 megapixel Nikon Coolpix P60 offers a fully manual control experience in a compact digicam. A 5x Nikkor zoom with Vibration Reduction optical image stabilization, a large, bright 2.7-inch LCD in addition to an electronic viewfinder, and Nikon EXPEED processing for noise reduction make the P60 seem like an another attractive option for advanced amateurs, or as an economical DSLR backup.
