Nikon Debuts Android-Powered Digital Cameras
COOLPIX S6400(Red) |
Nikon Corporationannounced the release of three new
COOLPIX S-series models that incorporate advanced functions in a stylish
design. They are the S6400, S800c and S01.
The S6400 is equipped with a backside illumination CMOS image sensor
with an effective pixel count of 16.0-million pixels, a 12x optical zoom
NIKKOR lens with coverage for angles of view for focal lengths from the
wide-angle 25 mm to 300 mm (equivalents in 35-mm [135] format), and a
touch panel for natural operation, all in a compact and slim body. In
addition to excellent basic camera performance, the S6400 offers a
number of advanced photographic functions that ensure recording of
images as intended with the simplest of operations. Chief among these
functions are Target Finding AF, with which the user need simply point
the camera at the intended subject and the camera automatically
identifies and focuses on that subject; Quick Effects, which allow users
to create images with special effects in just three easy steps–shoot,
select, and save; and functions for recording full-HD movies with
superior picture quality.
The S800c establishes a new line in the COOLPIX S series powered by
Android with built-in Wi-Fi® compatibility for operation similar to that
of a smartphone and wireless Internet connection. With its backside
illumination CMOS sensor with an effective pixel count of 16.0-million
pixels and 10x optical zoom NIKKOR lens, however, the S800c enables
capture of sharp, blur-free and beautiful images that can be extremely
difficult to capture with smartphones. What's more, users can take full
advantage of the camera's other features, including support for
recording of full-HD movies, to upload their stunning photos and movies
to social networking sites. The S800c fulfills Nikon's latest proposal
for new ways to use digital cameras–Capture, View, Connect, Enjoy–all in
a single, compact body.

The S01 is the smallest and lightest digital camera in the history of
the Nikon COOLPIX series, combining the simplicity of a cell phone with
the advanced capability for expression of a camera. The body is smaller
than a standard business card, measuring approximately 77 mm wide, 51.2
mm high, and 17.2 mm deep, and with a weight of approximately 96 g, it
fits easily in the palm of the hand. Special attention was also paid to
the design of the camera and materials used. It has a smooth form,
regardless of the angle from which it is viewed, and is constructed of a
durable yet thin stainless steel that also enables a beautiful finish.
The S01 is also equipped with a touch panel display and a user interface
(UI) that enables intuitive operation easy enough for anyone to master.
As simple operation was also a primary goal for this model, the UI
offers a number of convenient features, including a four-section grid
structure that anyone can easily master. This is a camera that users
will enjoy using and keeping with them at all times.
