Nikon has shown off its shiny new D3100 camera, an entry-level dSLR replacing the budget Nikon D3000 which proved to be something of a hit with cut-price snappers.
Billed as the smallest and lightest Nikon D-SLR yet, the diminutive D3100 packs a DX-format, 14.2 megapixel CMOS image sensor, with a new image processing engine doing all the clever stuff behind the scenes.
Top camera tech site DPReview has rummaged into a big bag of cameras to find out which are the hot superzoomin’ cameras of the summer.
No less than nine cameras were assembled for examination, with the full line up being made up of the Canon Powershot SX20 IS, Casio EX-FH25, Fujifilm FinePix HS10, Fujifilm FinePix S2500HD, Kodak Z981, Nikon Coolpix, P100, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38, Pentax X90 ad Samsung WB5000.
Nikon have unveiled details of its flagship point’n'shooter, the dSLR-styled 10MP Nikon P100 which can rattle off images at in Stirling Moss-esque 120fps bursts, and serve up full HD video.
There’s a mighty big lens strapped on to this baby in the shape of a hefty 26x (26mm-678mm. f2-5) zoom, which can go all the way down to 0.4 inches while in macro mode.
With a lens this long, it’s a good job that Nikon’s ’5-Way Vibration Reduction (VR) Image Stabilisation System’ is onboard to try and keep things sharp.
Flapping its arms around and hoping to attract mobs of festive buyers in the hugely competitive budget dSLR market is Nikon’s new D3000 camera.
Replacing the D60 – Nikon’s best-selling DLSR – the d3000 follows the same ethos of serving up a user-friendly package designed to guide nervous newbies into the world of dSLR photography, with a new ‘guide’ mode and a ton of auto features onboard to help make snapping pics a cinch.
We’ve been rattling off photos on our Nikon D300 for the past year now and it’s a lovely camera – but does the new D300S add up to a worthwhile upgrade?
We guess the hardest problem the team at Nikon faced was how they could improve on what was already a fabulous camera with very few shortcomings.
Mark Watson regales under the rather improbable job description of “Extreme Sports Photographer and Nikon Australia Ambassador,” but this video certainly shows him living up to the title.
To publicise the HD video and stills capabilities of the Nikon D300s, Mark hopped on to a handglider and flew into Australia’s Morning Glory cloud – a phenomenon that sees a wave-like cloud rolling over the Aussie countryside.
We’d barely stopped frothing about the incredible specs of Nikon’s high end D3S dSLR when two incredible videos showing off the camera’s movie credentials and high ISO performance appeared on YouTube.
Check out the video below and click on for the second:
Nikon has unveiled the upgrade to their high-end professional D3 dSLR, the envy-inducing D3S, packing a beast of a CMOS sensor, measuring up at a massive a 36 x 23.9 mm and delivering 12.1 of some of the finest megapixels you’ll ever see.
Looking tough enough to take Rocky the full ten rounds, the new D3S adds 720p HD video recording and is capable of snapping an astonishing 48 RAW frames in one burst.
