The machine in question has a linear design and a thickness of 19.5 mm, just these characteristics which, together with the weight of only 121 grams, making it a classic camera from behind into carry bag or jacket pocket ready to be extracted when the situation warrants.

As regards the technical characteristics, uses a CCD sensor with a resolution of 14 Megapixels, sufficient to get shots of guardstones for magnifications up to poster-size. To support the wide NIKKOR lens with 5 x optical zoom able to cover the focal range of 26 and 130 mm in size.

The Elimination of blur is entrusted to the combination of four different technologies (electronic VR, ISO 3200, motion detection and BBS). Like almost all Compact has no viewfinder, but implements a large 3.0-inch LCD display that makes it extremely simple to frame the scene from capture.

The S2600 is a camera incredibly easy to use thanks to the numerous automatic functions included such Please note mode “automatic scene Selection” that analyzes the scene and selects the best scene mode among the 18 available. For the most creative in the Touchup menu that allows you to add certain filter effects to customize it to your liking.

Not only photos, the new Coolpix also records videos in high definzine (720 p) by tapping the appropriate button. Available in six different colours, sparkling, will arrive in specialist centres from next weeks at a price not yet formalized.

About the two cameras, the first thing you notice is that compared to the past, Nikon has overturned the “values of strength” of the two sensors. While the first was the D3 to have a superior sensor (in version D3x, since the sensor of the D700 was virtually the same as the D3s), now the D800 has a sensor with a resolution of more than double the present on D4.

Because it was made this choice? Probably to differentiate the two product lines, as in previous years the D700 alone seems to have sold more of the D3s and D3x combined. The differences between the three were certainly not abyssal, and many photographers have preferred to spend something cheaper to buy a D700 that, all in all, ensures quality results, however, and not so distant from those obtainable with a D3s or x.
In the case of the D800 and D4, the difference should be clearly visible. Those who need to have a fast camera in focus and continuous shooting, will be almost forced to turn to the D4, which with its 10 fps outclasses the D800 that fps should be able to express just 4. Also be considered even the greater sensitivity of the sensor that handles focus, which allows you to also use objectives whose brightness from f/8: almost a record, even if the real benefits will see them only who uses teleconverter and old objectives.

The same applies to anyone who wants high quality high ISO shots. Having only 16 million pixels on a sensor FX allows you to limit the problems caused by digital noise pretty well. Have 36 instead, as happens for D800 if specifications will all be confirmed, will be much more problematic, and probably we’ll have slightly less sharp images and precise. It is also true that the differences for most usages will be limited only to the vision of the pictures on your computer, where a photo taken at ISO 6,400 16 megapixels and view at 100% will probably be better than a 36 megapixel shot from the same ISO and vista at the same magnification.
The problem of the D800 is that beyond this value will be greatly amplified noise than that present in the D4, which in this sector is played most of his chance to succeed. Do not underestimate the strength of shutter, which for the D4 is made of Kevlar and carbon fiber, and designed to withstand cycles of 400,000 while shooting for the D800 the expected duration should be exactly half.

Though, frankly, all in all I don’t think the D4 will be a huge success. After all, the D800 promises spectacular photos in bright light, and those taken with little light … well, maybe just use a bit of creativity, a powerful flash and some good photo editing program. Maybe just a nice image resampling from 36 to 18 or, why not, 12 megapixels. More than enough for at least 90% of the things that a photographer can do with an SLR

No official word has yet been issued by the Japanese brand but the usual well-informed claim that the delays were due to the fact that different components of the Nikon D800 had to be produced by factories located in Thailand, as a result of the flood are still closed for restoration work .

The most critical situation appears to relate to the factory that Sony was literally under water. This situation is relevant not only for the Japanese brand has announced the delay in the production of its Nex-7 and A65, but also for Nikon since, according to several rumors, the sensor of the D800 will be produced by Sony right.

What will have to wait before seeing the Nikon D800 in stores is difficult to say but it seems that the production will slip at least three months. There is every indication at this point that the official announcement of the new digital SLR will not be released before the new year.

To simplify the lives of those who love the camera “point and click”, the Nikon comes with advanced functions to reduce blur and wishing you can edit images directly on the camera with ease, thanks to the filter present. Of this we can remember the Selective Color, which lets you convert the image into black and white while leaving the user the ability to add an element of color to the desired area. It is pleasing also to note the extremely low thickness of the Nikon Coolpix S4150, which has a footprint of 95 x 56.8 x 20.3 mm and weighs only 128 grams. Available in red, black, purple, bronze and silver honey Coolpix S4150 has a suggested retail price of only 140 euros.

The usual well-informed consider that the Japanese company will use the important opportunity to introduce a new external flash and at least one goal that will, therefore, to expand the already wide range of accessories marked current Nikon price.

In particular, the external flash should be the Speedlight SB-910, SB-900 technical evolution of the market which is already far away from 2008. This hypothesis is accredited by the fact that several online retailers of the new continent have decided to eliminate from his lists of the Speedlight SB-900 pending, of course, you replace it with his successor.

As for the lens, even if uncertainty remains the most credible voices support, taking into account the many patents that the company has filed in recent times, it can be a wide angle DX line dedicated to semi-professional digital SLR. We just have to wait for the next 28ottobre to learn more. Stay tuned.

Built using 12 elements in 9 groups (including three aspherical elements), the new target is the lightness and compactness of its strengths. Weighs just 115 grams so it helps to avoid making the car more than they should.

It is also retractable (even if only partially) in order to save space when not in use.

As for the purely technical features, has a focal range equivalent to a 27 – 81 mm (in the traditional format equivalent) resulting in any great occasion.

It also features Vibration Reduction stabilization system that reduces the risk of blur with a gain of about 3 stops.

As the pancake Nikkor 10 mm, mounting the STM AF motor type which is particularly fast and quiet. The minimum distance of focus is 20 cm. It will be available from October.

Compact and simple design with lots of grip to make safe and solid grip, the P7100 features a 10.1 megapixel CCD sensor in addition to the EXPEED image processor C2 el’obbiettivo Nikkor wide-angle Optical Zoom 7 , 1x able to cover the focal range from 28 to 200 mm equivalent in the traditional format.

The blur is avoided by the combination of four technologies (VR, High ISO sensitivity, motion detection function, and Best Shot Selector). To frame the scene, we think the large 3.0-inch LCD display placed on the back, which is removable and can be rotated to allow use even in the toughest conditions.

There are plenty of manual controls for complete customization of the shot and there is also fully compatible with the Raw format. The main settings can be controlled by following the front and rear command dials placed at the top of the device.

Among the many advanced features included those for more creative such as cross processing, which allows you to manipulate the colors of the photos and the Selective Colour. Not only photos, even the P7100 is able to record movies in high definition (720p) with the possibility to use the optical zoom and autofocus even when shooting.

Equipped with HDMI port to immediately review the video footage on compatible HD TV, the new Nikon Coolpix P7100 camera is expected at participating stores from September at a suggested retail price not yet announced.

We begin our review with the main model, we are talking about the Nikon Coolpix AW100, a machine that opens a new segment, All Weather (AW) is designed for those photographers who like to shoot outdoors, even in the toughest conditions, and seek a camera always rise to the occasion.

AW100 is because the body has a very robust enough to withstand the bumps and even falls from a height of 1.5 meters. It also works in environmental conditions prohibitive (up to -10 ° C) and also has a waterproof body allowing the immersion in water up to a maximum depth of 10 meters!

As for the purely technical features, it features a back-illuminated CMOS sensor offering a resolution of 16 megapixels with the addition of a 5x wide-angle lens (equivalent to 28 to 140 mm on a conventional 35 mm). The blur is avoided thanks to the combination of four different technologies.

The management and image processing is entrusted to the much appreciated EXPEED processor C2. The scene is framed using the large 3.0-inch LCD display (resolution of 460,000 pixels) placed on the back, which is equipped with technology that provides a visual Clear Color always perfect, even under water.

There is also included to make the GPS geo-tagging of photos and an underwater scene mode that automatically sets the white balance for underwater breath-taking photos. Not just photos, the AW100 records Full HD movies with stereo sound. Availability and prices not yet disclosed.
