Mississauga, ON, February 8, 2011 – Today, imaging leader Nikon continues to steer innovation to create models as diverse as the needs of users by announcing four new COOLPIX compact digital cameras.

“The latest Nikon COOLPIX cameras are designed to reflect the shift in digital photography where consumers are sharing images on social networks at a rapid pace,” said Gregory Flasch, National Advertising and Communications Manager at Nikon Canada. “With eye-catching colours, easy-to-use features such as recording HD video and mid-range zoom shooting capabilities, the new COOLPIX cameras inspire consumers to shoot, record and share while expressing their personal style.”

Great Photos and Video Made Easy
A hallmark of the COOLPIX brand, Nikon continues to manufacture compact cameras in vibrant colours to match fashion and personal style. The new COOLPIX S6100, COOLPIX S4100, COOLPIX S3100 and COOLPIX L24 incorporate Nikon’s world-class NIKKOR lenses and Nikon’s EXPEED C2™ digital image processing engine which deliver high-quality pictures with accurate detail, striking colour and extraordinary sharpness. Additionally, all four COOLPIX cameras include Scene Auto Selector or Easy Auto mode, which automatically recognizes the shooting situation and adjusts camera settings accordingly for great pictures.

To capture flattering portraits, the Smart Portrait System incorporates a series of automatic functions including In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, Face-Priority AF, Face Priority AE, Smile Mode, Blink Warning and Skin Softening to flatter even the most camera-shy subject. The COOLPIX S6100, COOLPIX S4100 and COOLPIX S3100 feature a new Pet Portrait mode that automatically takes a picture when detecting the pet’s face.
