Mississauga, ON, August 24, 2011 – Today, Nikon Canada further expanded its COOLPIX product line by introducing four new digital cameras to the COOLPIX S-Series family. Built to address the lifestyle and needs of the active social user, the new COOLPIX S-Series digital cameras deliver enhanced zoom ranges, new ways to share photos and HD videos, and Nikon core technologies such as Vibration Reduction (VR) and EXPEED C2™ digital image processing.
Expanding on the ultra compact super zoom category, the new COOLPIX S8200 and COOLPIX S6200 deliver high-performance zoom with quality NIKKOR optics, while the new COOLPIX S1200pj offers a unique way to share content with a 20-lumen built-in projector and iPhone® compatibility. The stylish COOLPIX S100 features an enhanced organic LED (OLED) touch screen and chic design that’s fun and easy to use. Additionally, some of these new products are available in a variety of vibrant colours to match any personal style and budget.
“The new COOLPIX S-series cameras combine Nikon’s renowned image quality and superior technologies in slim, stylish bodies for connected users who love to share their memories with others,” said Gregory Flasch, National Advertising and Communications Manager at Nikon Canada. “With easy-to-use features and fun capabilities, these cameras inspire consumers to shoot, record and share, while reflecting their personal style.”
Great Photos and Movies Made Easy with COOLPIX Technology
The new COOLPIX S8200, COOLPIX S6200, COOLPIX S100 and COOLPIX S1200pj incorporate Nikon’s world-class NIKKOR lenses and deliver accurate detail and brilliant colour. Powered by Nikon’s EXPEED C2™ digital image processing engine, they produce high-quality pictures with stunning tones and sharpness.
All four COOLPIX cameras include Scene Auto Selector or Easy Auto Mode, which allows the camera to automatically recognize the shooting situation and adjust camera settings accordingly to produce the best pictures possible. To capture flattering portraits, the new S-Series cameras all feature the Nikon exclusive Smart Portrait System, which 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. Additionally, the new COOLPIX S8200 and S100 offer Nikon’s Easy Panorama Mode, which delivers dynamic panorama photos with a single press of the shutter button.
The COOLPIX S8200 and COOLPIX S6200: The New Standard for Compact Zoom
The new COOLPIX S8200 ups the ante of pocketable super zooms with an impressive 14x Optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass integrated into a surprisingly compact body (approximately 33mm deep). To help optimize images in challenging lighting conditions, the COOLPIX S8200 utilizes a 16.1-megapixel backside illumination (BSI) CMOS sensor for fast and responsive speed and exceptional low-light performance. The COOLPIX S8200’s speedy performance is accelerated by its high-speed continuous shooting capability that captures five shots at up to six frames-per-second (fps), as well as a pre-shooting cache that records images before releasing the shutter to capture the action faster than a user’s reflexes. And with the bright 3.0-inch (921,000-dot) LCD display, photos are quickly and easily composed, captured and edited. From fast-paced action shots to lively out-on-the-town captures, the COOLPIX S8200 helps to ensure that users don’t miss a moment.
The COOLPIX S8200 also features Full HD (1080p) video with stereo sound and amazing optics that empower users to create movies with confidence. Consumers have the ability to zoom during recording, and can take advantage of a host of Special Effects (when shooting movies and stills) and Filter Effects (in playback mode for still images), including Selective Colour and Fisheye Effect.
Rounding out the new super zoom line-up is the COOLPIX S6200. Built with a super slim body (approximately 25mm thick) and packing a versatile 10x Optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens, the COOLPIX S6200 is an easy-to-carry, yet stylish solution for capturing memorable images in an instant. With its 16.0-megapixel resolution, VR system to eliminate blur, HD (720p) movie recording, large 2.7-inch LCD display and diverse selection of Special Effects, creating unforgettable photos and movies is a breeze.
The COOLPIX S8200 is scheduled to be available in limited distribution through Authorized Nikon Canada Dealers in mid-September 2011 at a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $329.95. It is available in black and red.
