Melville, NY—Nikon added to its Coolpix line of compact point-and-shoot cameras with four models: the 60x zoom Coolpix P600, 42x zoom P530, ultraslim 30x zoom S9700 and the Coolpix P340.
“Incorporating legendary Nikkor optics, these new Coolpix cameras provide users with incredible zoom capability and low-light performance that helps produce unrivaled sharpness and detail in their photos and HD videos,” said Masahiro Horie, director, Marketing and Planning, Nikon Inc. “Users will enjoy capturing amazing photos and Full HD videos from a distance, along with the ability to share unforgettable moments with family and friends instantly.”
Coolpix P600. Pushing Nikkor optics to greater lengths, the P600 boasts a 60x optical zoom from a wide-angle 24mm to an impressive 1,440mm-equivalent range with the capability to reach further using its 120x dynamic fine zoom function. Lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) image stabilization is incorporated to help reduce the effects of camera shake, even when capturing photos from incredible distances. Once capture, the images can be transferred to a compatible smart device using built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, and uploaded to social networks.
Other P600 features include: a high-resolution (921k-dot), 3.0-inch vari-angle LCD that lets users shoot above a crowd or get low to capture a baby’s first steps; a 16.1 megapixel backside illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor; Full HD 1080/60i video recording; full manual controls (PSAM); an electronic viewfinder; the new moon and bird-watching mode; and an improved battery life that allows 330 shots per charge.
