Improved performance and excellent images for fast shooting and dark conditions with the 12.1-megapixel backside illumination CMOS sensor provided by COOLPIX S8100, one of Nikon Inc.’s most recent compact digital cameras.

This CMOS sensor offers enhanced shooting functions in low-light circumstances incorporating the advanced Night Portrait mode which duplicates moments in hours of darkness and interior photos as the photographer views the scene, at the same time minimizing picture haziness.

The COOLPIX S8100 also highlights the Creative Slider, which effortlessly regulates light, saturation and color tone in-camera. Quick Retouch and D-Lighting, additional notable editing functions, provide camera owners the capability to fiddle with their shots while viewing.

Vivid colors black, gold and red are available to choose from in late September for only $299.95. Buyers outside the U.S.A. must have the virtue of patience though, for now, one of the newest digital cameras to hit town is for sale only in the land of milk and honey.

The Nikon Coolpix P90 Megazoom has a 24X-optical-zoom, 12 mega-pixels, and offers full manual controls, a tiltable LCD screen, making it one of the easiest megazoom and Coolpix cameras to use. This Coolpix focuses on exactly what the name states- to show the solidity and versatility of its megazooming capabilities. The lens ranges from 26mm on the wide-angle end to 624mm telephoto, and has a built-in optical image stabilization that does well for any picture-taking occasion. The P90 runs on a rechargeable lithium ion cell, which is great because nobody likes to have to go out and buy batteries when you could just plug the battery into the wall. It’s got a great high-quality JPG mode, but unfortunately it doesn’t give you the option to shoot in RAW. The camera’s feature set comes with full manual settings, beginner-friendly scene modes, and aperture- and shutter-priority settings. With the camera’s top-mounted control dial, you get access to all 11 modes: Auto, Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Manual, Movie, Sports, Scene mode (which lets you select from 15 different options, including Portrait, Panorama Assist, Fireworks, Backlight, and other choices), an automated scene-selection mode, and two user-defined setting modes. The Sports mode, for fast-action shots, lets you shoot up to 15 frames per second at a reduced 3-megapixel resolution. All of these settings may seem daunting to some, but the P90 has only 3 simple buttons- a four-way directional pad, a menu dial, and a scroll dial handle. The ISO range for this camera offers up to 6400, however there is a substantial amount of visible grain once you get past 800, so use the higher ISOs for the pitch black scenes you want to take photos in. The Coolpix P90 also has a nifty time-lapse video feature that sets it apart. Select a shot interval ranging from 30 seconds to 60 minutes and leave the camera in one place, and you get an automatically stitched-together time-lapse video. The camera also powers down between shots to conserve battery life.
