On Monday, Nikon announced eight cameras, including one that can go back in time by one second to capture ten shots before the one taken by the user.
The 12.1-megapixel Nikon Coolpix P90's secret is that it's always shooting. When a user presses the shutter release button, it will save the previous ten photos that were automatically shot. The ten photos will only be 3-megapixel captures.
This isn't a completely novel idea; Casio announced cameras with similar features at last month's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Nikon's P90 will be a superzoom point-and-shoot that offers 24X optical zoom through a very wide-angle 26-mm lens. It offers a 3-inch LCD that extends and arches via a little arm, as well as an electronic viewfinder, which is just a tiny LCD screen. Face detection, optical image stabilization, and anti-blink technologies will also be included in the camera to help the user capture a great shot. The P90 will retail for $399.95, beginning in March.
New additions to Nikon's L-Series line of value cameras were also announced; this line includes the company's least expensive camera to date. The Coolpix L19 will retail for just $109; it will be an 8-megapixel shooter with a 2.7-inch LCD screen and 3.6X optical zoom, and will use two AA batteries. For $20 bucks more ($129), Nikon will offer the L20; the differences being a large 3-inch LCD screen and a 10-megapixel sensor.
The last camera in the series is the Coolpix L100, a 10-megapixel camera featuring 15X optical zoom and optical image stabilization. It will retail for $279.95. The L-Series cameras will be available later this month.
The last series that Nikon updated is the S-series, Nikon's "style line" that focuses on slim builds and high-end features. All of the cameras in this series will include optical image stabilization, enhanced face detection that can track a subject even while in motion, automatic scene selection, and red-eye fix which can remove red-eye effects after the picture is taken. All of the new models will be offered in multiple colors. (full Story)
