Nikon introduces 6 new affordable COOLPIX cameras

Our Nikonians COOLPIX users group members will soon be busy admiring the newest COOLPIX entries introduced by Nikon in advance of Photokina 2008.

Nikon Inc. has announced the launch of six new COOLPIX digital cameras.

The new additions to the COOLPIX product line share features such as the Scene Auto Selector Mode, which automatically selects the right scene mode for the image you are shooting.

Also offered in the new line-up are features such as "Smile Mode" which automatically triggers the shutter when a subject is smiling --- and "Blink Warning" which displays a message when it detects that a subject has blinked.

The features list gets better with each model -- adding TOUCH-SCREEN interfaces, Wi-Fi transmission and GPS capabilities to your options.

Perhaps the most attractive selling point for these new COOLPX models is the price range. The Manufacturer's Retail Price from top to bottom runs at less than $500 U.S. Dollars (USD) for the new P6000 to $250 USD for the S560.

We have the Press Release highlights from August 7, 2008 for your consideration listed below:
