Nikon adds super-zoom lens cameras to new line-up
Nikon has added two new super-zoom cameras, the COOLPIX P510 and the COOLPIX L810, to its collection.
The COOLPIX P510, successor to the popular COOLPIX P500, offers a 42x optical NIKKOR zoom lens reaching a 1000mm super-telephone focal length, down to a 24mm wide-angle, and packs a 16-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and advanced lens-shift vibration reduction.
The 16-megapixel L810, successor to the COOLPIX L120 features a 26x extreme wide-angle optical zoom lens.
James Loader, Product Manager for Consumer Products at Nikon UK, said: “The P510 is able to capture incredible detail from long distances thanks to its staggering 42x zoom lens which features Nikon’s advanced lens-shift vibration reduction for guaranteed steady shots.
“The L810 also features an impressive super-zoom which, combined with the easy to use functionality, makes it ideal for capturing special memories.”
Spec round up:
COOLPIX P510
A 42x zoom, tiltable high resolution 921K-dot LCD monitor and Full HD (1080p) movie recording with stereo sound all feature in addition to one-touch access to movie mode so you can switch easily from taking stills to film with stereo sound. Optical zoom and autofocus functions are still available when filming, and the COOLPIX P510 can record in slow or fast motion using speeds of up to 120 fps (VGA). Movies can be shot in iFrame format and a built-in HDMI connector lets you connect the camera directly to an HDTV, to view photos and films straight away with family and friends.
The tiltable high resolution LCD monitor make it easy to take shots from above or below to get a different perspective says Nikon, while built-in GPS records the exact location where a picture was taken as a geotag in the image data. The COOLPIX P510 comes in three colours: Black, red and dark grey.
COOLPIX L810
With a super-zoom lens and 720p movie recording, the COOLPIX L810 offers easy-to-use technology. Easy Auto mode optimises all settings according to the light you are in making it geared toward effortless shooting.
The NIKKOR 26x extreme wide-angle optical zoom lens with 22.5–585mm range will cover everything from sweeping vistas to distant action according to the manufacturer. Meanwhile, an innovative side control lever ensures smooth, steady zooming throughout the entire focal range whether filming or shooting still images, and Lens shift VR (vibration reduction) counters the effects of camera shake. A 16-megapixel CCD image sensor and four different automatic anti-blur functions ensure sharp images and the camera is powered by AA batteries for convenience.
The COOLPIX L810 comes in four colours: Black, red, blue and bronze.
