It was camera-ish day today. Canon released its new Powershot cameras early in the morning, Sony just updated its alpha NEX and lines, and now here we have a package of Nikons just goes. They do it to make things for us bloggers, just trying to relax on warm on Tuesday night?
Well, let's get on with it. I will make it easy for you. Some of them are actually quite decent.
Firstly, we have P7100, successor to P7000 series. This compact camera top end for Nikon, popular among photographers as a quickie back up.
This is substantially the same (10.1 Megapixels, 7 x zoom, 640 × 480 LCD, 720 p video) but adds several new features. You have an updated image of the new processor on a screen interface and the ability to zoom while recording video. The body of a purchased dial on the front, and a common set of up to six on this thing, if I'm not mistaken. LCD display also tilts right now, but he did not turn around.
This improvement, but not great — and this sensor needs to be energized. If the next Canon G series ups the ante, Nikon was going to leave, the path, they left the Canon over the past year with P7000 series. It will cost $ 500 in September.
Further, AW100. This rugged point and shoot, can go 33 feet under water, survive drop five feet, and temperature resistance down to the "cold" 14° f. backlit Sensor produces 16 megapixels at up to 3200 ISO and record 1080p video. You have 320 x 3480 LCD on the back and a 5 x zoom on the front. My favorite part: she will record movies at 60, 120 or 240 fps. Here's some solid slow motion, although I assume that this reduces the resolution.
The bad news? The mother will set you back $ 380 come September. This is more reliable than any point and shoot, I've used, although to be honest does sound better than a rugged point and shoot, I've used.
Next, you have a huge range of S-series cameras. I will renounce parts (available here) and give you a nickname, which I assigned to them:
S1200pj
"One with a projector, you'll never use" – $ 430 (!)
S100
"Swimming with the OLED touch screen and apparently you hold it vertically?" – $ 300
S8200
"The camera with a nice screen and a 14 x zoom rich guy"-$ 330
S6200
"Good enough" $ 230
What is the takeaway? These are all a bit expensive, really, but if you have money to spare, AW100 strikes me as the best deal to take cameras everywhere. In addition, it's super slow motion, which is even more fun than it sounds. I'd wait for Canon's answer to P7100 (G13) to carry out, if you're good with that.
More information should be accessible via the Nikon Coolpix site soon.
Update: NikonRumors notes that they are available for preorder.
