Nikon introduces the Coolpix P7000 and Coolpix S80

Prior to the Photokina 2010 (21-26.) (September in Cologne) Nikon presents two more compact digital cameras, the, although both high-quality, hardly more could differ in their target market. The Coolpix P7000 is the new "bridge" compact camera with 1 / 1, 7 "CCD, 10 megapixels resolution, optical 7 portrait zoom (28-200 mm entspr.) (KB), Systemblitzschuh, RAW format, HD movie recording with external microphone jack, but unlike the P6000 without GPS. However, the S80 is a 17 mm slim, stylish digital camera with 3.5 "-OLED touch screen, 5 x Periscope zoom and 14 megapixel CCD."

The P7000 can boast some highlights can be found only in high-end compact camera class. The optical zoom Nikon has expanded to a 7,1fachen zoom with a focal range of 28-200 mm (KB), it achieved a brightness of F2, 8 (wide angle) to F5, 6 (tele). A tilted neutral density filter ensures light reduction without sharpening loss due to diffraction, the optical image stabilizer prevents Verwackelungsunschärfen and two ED glass elements to prevent chromatic aberrations and fringing at long focal lengths. The 28 mm wide angle insufficient who can purchase the new wide-angle converter WC-75A, which reduces the focal length 21 mm (KB). Despite the large zoom factor Nikon has managed to integrate a feature that is now almost extinct an optical zoom viewfinder incl. diopter adjustment. On the image sensor, Nikon sets 1 megapixel CCD, 1 / 1 to a 10, 7 "is"large". Thus the Nikon regarding the humility in resolution and sensor size, draws same Canon (S95 and G11), Panasonic (LX5) and Samsung (Ex1). The ISO sensitivity range from 100 up to 6,400 in pixel split even up to ISO 12800.

Another feature that was introduced with the predecessor P6000, the photographer, however, must waive: the GPS. What a pity that Nikon has saved instead of the receiving power criticized in our test (see links) to improve. This puts Nikon on another feature that was introduced with the predecessor P6000, the photographer however, will be without: the GPS. What a pity that Nikon has saved instead of the receiving power criticized in our test (see links) to improve. more on video, where 1,280 x 720 pixels at 24 fps. The sound comes on the built-in or a connected external stereo microphone on the SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card where it as H. 264 compressed QuickTime movie (MOV) lands. On the HDTV find videos through the HDMI port. Who prefer opts pictures finds support for format of raw NRW + that further process with the enclosed software ViewNX 2 among others. Features such as programmed, Aperture and aperture priority and manual exposure control, and the two user profiles will delight the Fotoamateur. Also advanced features optional infrared remote control, the i-TTL Systemblitzschuh and using many buttons and wheel, among such as exposure compensation or fixed focal lengths over the rear wheel drive. In the user interface and the features, Nikon has incidentally taken regard for the needs of professional photographers by feedback from numerous surveys with is included in the development. Emblazoned on the back of 3 "(7.5 cm) has large LCD screen which dissolves fine 921.000 dots, covers almost 100% of the sRGB color space and a coating.

Fast reaction times and a high image quality of the new "expeed C2" to ensure image processor. Those who rather prefer the free automatic photography instead of manual settings, is also at his own expense. 18 Scene modes and a scene automatic that automatically selects the images convey from six scene modes are just like a face detection or the best shot selector automatically selected the sharpest photos of a series of images on board. The virtual horizon horizontal alignment of the camera is very convenient. The Repertoire of the P7000 include a histogram view and subsequent image processing functions. It should be available end of September 2010 at a cost of around EUR 550.

The Nikon Coolpix S80 is directed less ambitious photographers, but those with design or style consciousness. With a thickness of less than 17 mm and weighing 133 g (operational) she disappears inconspicuously in purse or handbag. The photographer must losing not a technically sophisticated amenities set. The rounded metal casing has a mechanical pusher which turn the camera and free are the lens, Flash and the stereo microphone. The 5 x optical zoom hidden thanks to periscope technology without round-the-clock mechanical parts in the thin, it covers a focal range of 35-175 mm (KB), so lacks some wide angle. With ambient light 8 in telephoto ago with F3, 6 in wide angle and F4, not far, function follows design was clearly in the foreground. After all, an optical image stabilizer is installed. A technical highlight is the 3.5 "(8.7 cm) wide touchscreen with OLED technology and fine 820,000 pixels resolution. Pixels consist of organic Leuchtdioden, lit themselves, thus the display without backlight comes from. OLED screens offer an extraordinary wide dynamic range and a high brilliance, they are also blickwinkel independent. By touch operation, the screen can occupy the entire rear, takes on a trigger or you need no further controls.

The CCD image sensor resolves 14.1 megapixel and photo capture via 17 scene modes. Face detection and scene automatic are there almost self-evident. Also, touch screen on an image details can be typed on the that immediately followed by the auto focus on the image and kept hot (tracking AF). A smile and blink detection, and a skin blur include the Coolpix S80 features, even the D-lighting function to the digital lighten of dark image areas on board. Who would like to film can do this in HD quality (1,280 x 720 pixels at 30 frames / s) incl. stereo sound. Stored pictures and videos on an SD/SDHC memory card, the internal lithium ion battery is charged via the USB port on the PC or via the supplied USB adapter for approximately 3 hours. In photo mode, about 150 shots are possible according to CIPA standard measurement. The Coolpix S80 at a price of EUR 350 in the colours black and Red should be available from early October 2010.

The Nikon Coolpix S8100 presented today in "Overseas" introduces unspecified at this point, because she will be available in Europe, therefore we (see links in contrast to the S80 and P7000,) without also a detailed data sheet of this camera.
