Nikon D200 DSLR Camera Review

February 16th, 2011

Of all camera product announcements occasionally there is a product that you definitely can not wait to get your hands. Today we are pleased to offer you an exclusive preview of an exciting new Nikon D-SLR, the Nikon D200. According to Nikon: The Nikon D200 bridges, and after the new D200 D-SLR myself I can only confirm this assertion. At present there is no other solution equals what the Nikon D200 is that you provide when you look at quality, specifications and price for that matter. With the introduction of the D200, Nikon creates a new class of digital SLR camera between entry-level (D50 and D70s) and professional D-SLR cameras (D2x and D2Hs). As for me, I’m a D100 user, using it on a daily basis mainly for product shots like I did with the D200 product shots that you will find in this Nikon D200 preview. Of course I was happy to upgrade my D100, but I missed a D-SLR like the D200.

But what about the price? We all know that Canon is the biggest competitor in the industry, and their latest introduction of a full-frame D-SLR surprised most of us. Only their price tag way out of reach of most of us. According to my information, although not yet confirmed, and depending on the region, the price of the new Nikon D200 way under EUR 2,000. Probably around £ 1700 (ex VAT)! A shocking price and very, very competitive!

Operation of the Nikon D200 is like having a smaller version of the Nikon D2X in your hands. The overall effect of the D200 is inherited from the prior art Nikon D2x DSLR.

The large 2.5-inch LCD display offers high resolution and gives a perfect view of the images you’ve shot. The new display offers an ultra-wide 170 degrees viewing angle from all directions.

Since the Nikon D200 is a D-SLR camera model you have the optical viewfinder for framing photos. In order to ensure a clear picture that the display in the viewfinder is similar to focus your eye power. If necessary, adjust the diopter setting, next to the viewfinder until the focus brackets are displayed in focus when you are through the shutter. The former controller of the diopter Nikon D100 changed quickly, getting an out-of-focus view. The new diopter setting is not easily set by an accident.

The Nikon D200 offers the largest top LCD panel industry. It contains many details, such as shooting mode, battery, card information, gridline display, shutter speed, aperture, shots remaining, and much more. The on / off switch in the lateral position, activates the control panel back-lit display in the dark to read.

In addition to being packed in a magnesium alloy body which contains various functions D2x, as we have not mentioned one fundamental characteristic, the image sensor. Although many of us expected to go Nikon for the CMOS in the footsteps of their biggest rival, Nikon has chosen to continue with the CCD. The newly developed 10.2 effective megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor provides a resolution of 3872×2592 pixels and has a high sensitivity range from ISO 100 to 1600 and a HI ISO setting of 3200. Due to the inclusion of a newly developed optical low pass filter moire, color fringing and shifting is minimized, improving the overall image quality. Its DX format Nikkor lenses are capable of their best quality using only the center of the lens, which offers to provide the highest resolution. This is something that full-frame sensor D-SLR cameras have difficulty with, full frame and a lens to get the best out of the sensor to get together.

Nikon D80 DSLR Camera Review

February 8th, 2011

The family of Nikon digital SLR cameras, there are flagship cameras suitable for serious photographers and there are entry-level cameras that a friendly user interface for first time DSLR users, but there are cameras like the Nikon D80 which bridge the gap with the advanced features are not really sought.

Nikon D80 Angle Nikon D80 DSLR Camera Review

The Nikon D80 is the midrange series to replace both the Nikon D70 and D70s that the models that the midrange series began. The whole idea of the midrange series is the simplicity of the entry-level cameras like the D40 and D60 can be combined, while the integration of higher-end features from the D200 cameras. The D200 camera has many advanced features not yet sold at a price not accessible to everyone. With some of the popular features to the D80, aspiring professional photographers have a chance without draining their wallets and go through a steep learning curve.

The Nikon D80 design is quite unique in that it successfully builds on the previous D70 and adds some elements from the D200 for additional robustness still manages to be smaller than both. The smaller size makes it a bit lighter as well and the robustness is just right to wear it and use the same way you would an entry level camera. It is basically an entry-level camera with a few bells and whistles. The size of the camera is just right for a comfortable grip.

The camera shows the front view of the components in their usual places and also manages the special programmable button to record, and the depth-of-field preview button.

The top view shows more of the feel of the D200 LCD screen found on the right so that the selector should be placed in the same position as the other high-end models. This should not people make the transition to frustrate the entry-level a bit and the other key positions remain the same. The LCD screen is a welcome addition to displaying useful statistics including battery life. The back has a beautiful 2.5-inch LCD display along with more buttons to navigate the interface and activating the Live View mode. The bottom of the camera is also the same, where you can find the tripod mount and battery compartment.

Resolution is not the main focus here on behalf of the same specifications of the 10.2 megapixel entry level DSLR cameras. That’s not a bad thing, as 3872 × 2592 is a reasonably high resolution for producing large details, even when zoom features are used. It also uses a new 12-bit image processing engine for significant improvements color.

Speed is another highlight of the D80 with a 0.18 start-up with a 80ms shutter response. That is exceptional for getting the perfect photograph, which is difficult for point-and-shoot camera users. Continuous shooting is also similar to the entry-level cameras can shoot up to 100 JPEG straight shoot 3 frames per second thanks to the large system bus bandwidth.

To add to the entry-level features, the Nikon D80 with a low 11-area AF system that is crucial for the caption sports moments and other high-speed action. The AF-assist light helps when shooting in low light scenarios. The “Live View” mode also helps to ensure that the scene is perfectly captured.

Verdict

The Nikon D80 combines the best features that high-end cameras have the rapid implementation of the entry-level cameras. This is an excellent professional camera to get if the budget does not cut it.

Nikon D3S CMOS DSLR Camera Review

December 28th, 2010

I shoot Nikon D3 with a few kits for the last few years, and I can not tell you how happy I am with them. In terms of overall performance and image quality, they have never disappointed me. So when I heard the news that Nikon had the D3s started, I was excited, although somewhat skeptical of the benefits could give me the newer model. With regard to the specifications, I asked a number of improvements that really make a difference in my job as a faster frame rate (nine frames per second in contrast to the D3 seven pictures per second), improved AF and extended ISO range ( ISO 200 to 12,800 expandable to ISO 102400). However, the addition of HD video, a feature that has been in DSLRs slowly appeared in all price ranges, at first not much of an advantage over the D3 for my kind of work, but I was late in my opinion this change.

Nikon D3S Side Nikon D3S CMOS DSLR Camera Review

So you could say that my first thoughts were positive about the D3s, but lukewarm. However, that all changed once I shoot my hands on the camera and started with him. In the last fortnight, I have for Premiership and Champions League, boxing, and shooting the odd studio session and I can say that the D3s is much better than the D3. While there are many similarities between the two models, the extensions and additions to the D3s have a significant improvement in the pictures I have taken out.

Focusing is the most important condition for photographing sport, it makes sense to talk mainly about the AF system of the D3. It uses the same 51-point arrangement as the D3, but the autofocus is faster, I would say it’s about 40 percent faster. I used to concentrate the back button system activates the central nine AF points, and I would say it the subject blocks as fast as the Canon I used before, but I think it’s better on the subject remains closed as each camera I have used. And while the D3s provides options for AF speed, I’ve found where it works best on plain.

The motor drive is very good and comfortable on more than the D3. Together with the increased buffer menu, I’ve found it has no problem with rattling by a sequence of raw files, that’s great, if I am for a player to strike a goal. I normally shoot with the camera to make full use sensor, but I can also, should I need more pulling power, set the D3s crop the image. Should I decide to use it in DX format, the motor speed increases of up to nine frames per second to 11 frames per second!

A system that I’ve found is surprisingly useful in the Quiet mode, which dampens the sound of the shutter fire. While it is probably designed for wildlife photographers stalking easily frightened issues, I consider it appropriate in interviews as a journalist with a sports star. The sound of the shutter can prove troublesome for both parties, but with quiet mode engaged, I was able to fire away without disturbing anyone. I’m sure there will be also be handy when shooting darts and table tennis.

Nikon D3S Back Nikon D3S CMOS DSLR Camera Review

The first day I started with the D3s, I made the mistake of photographing in RAW, but I do not know can not open the images in Photoshop CS3. So for the rest of the day I have a JPEG, which I rather do not work when shot in football. But because I could see how much better JPEGs from the D3s the D3 compared. The color reproduction was significantly improved especially evident with very realistic colors on the football kits.

Nikon’s metering system is great and the D3s is brilliant in this regard. Its automatic white balance works very well. I shoot all football games in AWB, whether in daylight or under floodlights, which are balanced for TV cameras. I know when the Tungsten preset so that the speakers may seem like the AWB images set little warm.

Since that first day, I shot Raws and while I did not convert them to JPEG in Photoshop, I have found two other ways to do it that fit my needs. The first is Nikon’s Capture NX2 software. While a little slow, it is very capable and I actually prefer as it displayed JPEGs when compared Photoshop. The other method is a function within the Nikon menu system, the raw files in the camera, quite useful when I need to convert in a hurry can be converted to be used.

The other area of the image quality is that I have noticed a significant improvement with their use with noise. The ISO range on the D3s is impressive and I’m thrilled to see the quality of the images taken at higher ISO ratings. As a professional, quality is paramount, so I do not like it when I have to increase to ISOs, but I’ve found I can to let go of this fear with the D3s because it provides excellent quality, even when used at ISO 4000! Usually when a player celebrating a goal to shoot close to fans, sultry colors are horrible as the floodlights shall not extend to this area of the pitch. However, even at high ISO, the colors are excellent and noise is not a big problem.

Nikon D3S Top Nikon D3S CMOS DSLR Camera Review

One last feature that is worth a mention, the HD video system. I’ll be honest, I could not see the point of when I first read it on the camera, but I quickly realized how important it may actually turn out. Including HD video makes the D3s ideal for multimedia photographer. One minute you can be capturing a breathtaking statue, and then shoot a clip in high-definition video that can extract a JPEG file that is good enough for web or newspaper. With newspapers requesting so many different formats for media applications, you get all your work from a job output in print, online and mobile TV applications, and even with both still and moving images, such as Sun Online and The Sun. Or you could can a news photographer at the front of a big protest or war that can get close to the action, both videos and photos with the simple push of a button to shoot.

Finally, a brief comment on handling. The D3s is virtually identical to the D3, the feeling very well balanced, solid and with a very logical control layout that is quick to operate. One difference is that some keys have a proud position, and better response. Also, as I discovered while filming in heavy rain, keeps the D3s work, even if always soaked – quickly back with a towel and then was all that was necessary to wipe.

Conclusion

I like the beginning skeptical, but the D3s doubts whether worth the upgrade was smashed. While I am more than satisfied with D3 with my pair of points for shooting action, improved autofocus, motor drive speed and image quality of the D3 is, I will print on the office to my gear upgrade as it represents the model that the cutting in my profession. The addition of HD video, which offers exercise its option to web quality still images from films are also pleased with other areas of press photography, such as news and feature articles. It is a brilliant package for the professional who needs an excellent image quality, combined with a very fast operation and multimedia options.

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj with Built-In Projector Review

December 13th, 2010

Depending on how much you look like your photos or you have your other photos, the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj either really cool or a waste. The compact camera houses an ultra-small projector in the location, photos and videos in sizes up to 40 inch diagonal screen at the press of the button. However, the rest of the camera together basic: 12 megapixel, 28mm-equivalent wide-angle lens, 5x optical zoom, a 2.7-inch LCD and almost fully automatic shooting options. Nikon S640 S570 cheaper and even cheaper comparable photo quality and shooting performance (the S640 is actually faster). So if you are just looking for a good compact camera, the S1000pj is a waste. But if you share your photos immediately and would love it on something other than a computer screen, TV, or a tiny camera display, the S1000pj is really cool.

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj Front Nikon Coolpix S1000pj with Built In Projector Review

The camera design is simple and stylish, and other than a small window on the front there is nothing about the fact that immediately says, “Hey, I have a built-in viewer”. The most interesting thing about the S1000pj is that the addition of the projector with some additions to the weight or the size of the camera, it really is not much bigger than a compact camera with similar features sans projector. The controls are mostly the same as on any other compact Coolpix.

Above, along with the power and shutter release button and zoom ring are a slider to adjust focus for the projector and a button to activate the function. In again on the right side of the bright LCD-studded and below the thumb rest are buttons to switch shooting modes, play and edit images, access to photos, video and system setup menus, and delete images. There is a directional pad for navigation and control exposure, flash, timers and macros. Again, it’s all pretty standard. There are also two small squares – one in front, one in front – for the reception of IR signals from the supplied remote control. (It can be used for recording and playback.)

Well, on the projector: It sits in the center of the camera’s front and unprotected strange. Press the button on top of the projector and move the camera forward or backward until the image the size it is, and then use the Focus slider to fine tune the picture. It can be as close as 10 inches from the screen or set back as far as 6.5 feet. You can immediately start navigating through your photos or press the menu button, a slide show as well as transition effects and background music to start again just pause time. Included is a little stand that angles the camera up to avoid any objects that may on the surface you are using.

The angle, however, creates a keystone effect distorts the projected images, you’re better off with a tripod or a free flat surface. Also, because there is no automatic registration of images, you have to go through and rotate images before playback. The projector is quite bright, but of course, the darker the room, the better the experience. All in all, it is a successful feature, no doubt, will be fun at parties gathered with friends and family around. It would be especially great for holiday, where you something right now, what you have done or want to see saw. Finally, I see it with some solid business model uses, as in real estate where you want to be able to give an impromptu presentation to a client a house wall.

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj Top Nikon Coolpix S1000pj with Built In Projector Review

Even without the projector the S1000pj would be a pretty run-of-the-mill compact. There are 16 scene modes with nothing out of the ordinary as well as Scene Auto Selector, Nikon’s automatic scene detection mode. Nikon’s Smart Portrait system has its own place in the Record Mode menu. Basically, Nikon combines previously available Blink, Smile Shutter, In-Camera Red Eye Fix, D-Lighting and Face-priority AF function in a mode and adds a skin softening component. This type of mode is available from other manufacturers, but Nikon’s implementation is fast and works well. If you want control over their results, there is a program mode just as a car. There is also a subject-tracking option for trying to keep moving objects in focus, but the truth of the rest of the camera is the power for a real action photography slowly.

For the money you could expect fast shooting performance, but the S1000pj behaves like a typical snapshot camera. It takes 1.8 seconds to wake up and shoot. Subsequent recordings will wait an average of 1.9 seconds between them, go up to 2.6 seconds if you use the flash. Shutter lag is average in good light 0.5 seconds in low light conditions, it is remarkably long for 1 second. The S1000pj has a full-resolution continuous shooting speed of 0.6 frames per second for up to four shots.

Overall photo quality is produced by the S1000pj very good. Many cameras in its class suffer a significant leap in quality when they use no sensitivity to ISO 200. The S1000pj is really good, ISO 400 The camera allows you to automatic ISO range 80-200 and 80-400 limit either. If you’re in daylight or ambient light, I recommend locking it to 80-200. Again, it has also lead up to ISO 400 intact with minimal color shift and most of the fine details, but it is best at ISO 200 and below. It can shoot at full resolution up to ISO 1600.

But both see them as well as the step at ISO 800 not because of color shifts and yellow blotching and general smearing of detail well. So while you can indeed keep shooting in low light conditions, you will probably not be thrilled with the results. On the other hand, through the projector, the images at higher ISOs are considered more palatable.

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj Back Nikon Coolpix S1000pj with Built In Projector Review

Colors are produced by the S1000pj alive, though not exactly. Everything turned out nice and bright and pretty natural looking. Characteristic of compact cameras, highlights tend to blow out, but at least Nikon’s D-Lighting system helps bring shadow detail. Nikon creates distortion to maintain control of the 28mm-equivalent wide-angle lens. In areas of high contrast photos, there is some purple fringing, but the amounts are average.

The S1000pj is is capable of filming at a VGA quality 640×480 pixel resolution and optical zoom while recording disabled. The results are good, especially when you first line extending them through the projector.

The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj’s projector is as novel as the front-LCDs on the Samsung dual-view cameras. The big difference is in everyday use and, well, Samsung is winning. But the S1000pj very entertaining and if you show your photos on the site and not on a small LCD-like, it is a good option. Hopefully, if it is possible to update the model, the price drop some Nikon and can fit 2 GB or more of fixed internal memory in the budget.

Nikon Coolpix P90 12.1MP Digital Camera Review

November 17th, 2010

Think of it as a mega-zoom madness, or more like a super-zoom-summer fever. Fresh on the heels of the somewhat challenged 20x zoom Canon PowerShot SX1 IS and the Editors’ Choice Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 20x, the Nikon Coolpix P90 comes with a more powerful 24x lens. Like the Canon and Sony, it is also a wide-angle zoom, but in this case, it is a whopping 26-624mm, 560mm versus 28 for the SX1 and HX1. And the Nikon is a 12-megapixel digicam, compared to the 10-megapixel Canon and 9.1-megapixel Sony. That is, the P90 is not nearly as sophisticated or as expensive as the other two, it only takes VGA video plus, compared to 1080P movies from the others. The P90 is really for the person who wants just to make pictures and is looking for the comfort of a large zoom. Let’s see if it is worth the cost of entry, or if you should spend more for another camera.

Features and Design

The Nikon Coolpix P90 DSLR is a mood, but it’s not nearly as large or heavy like most entry-level models. And as we noted in our reviews of other mega-zooms, if you want this focal length range with a DSLR, you have to spend a small fortune and go to the gym to get in shape, all lenses carry with you. The P90 measures 4.5 inches wide, 3.3 high and 3.9 deep, loaded tip the scales at 18 ounces whole. Since the camera uses a lithium-ion battery and four AA as the SX1, it is much easier than the mega-zoom. Conclusion: You will not have any problems, they wear all day.

Nikon Coolpix P90 Angle Nikon Coolpix P90 12.1MP Digital Camera Review

The 24x zoom dominates the front. It has a range of 26-624mm, so you can capture nice wide angle zoom and objects that can not see it. Without question, this is the top feature of this digicam. Also on the front is the AF-assist lamp, a single hole in microphone and more low-key logo, but a big “Nikon” is built from the lightning. As the SX1, it must be opened manually, even if you are in the car. A button on the left is doing the easy, but we are all for the life easy for amateur photographers. Yes, you get a warning on the screen but in the time it takes to open it, the magic moment could be gone.

The top of the camera, the flash mode dial, power on/off button and shutter button, the switch from a wide angle/telephoto, which is surrounded on the pistol grip. There is no hot shoe. Overall, we found it comfortable, and positions of key controls well, but you should definitely do a hands-on before you buy, as with any camera or camcorder. The mode dial has the usual options: Auto, Program Auto, Shutter and aperture priority and fully manual. There are also U1 and U2, you can store your favorite settings of P, A, S and M and go right to them. Movie mode allows users to decidedly non-high-def take 640 x 480 VGA video. Scene provides access to 15 scene modes plus voice recording, while Scene Auto, the camera think changing the subject before him on the appropriate scene mode. This is the Nikon version of the Smart car, Smart car, available Intelligent Scene Selection ad nauseum by other manufacturers. And as the competition, it’s a good job.

The back has a different top of the camera features a 3-inch rotating and pivoting LCD screen rated 230K pixels. Even if it could use more pixels, the LCD held up even in direct sunlight. Like the Sony HX1, this screen pulls out of the back straight and not tilt to one side. It does help you hold the camera over your head or waist-level for a few different angles than the normal eye level.

Like all mega-zoom, the P90 has an electronic viewfinder (EVF) with diopter adjustment. It is better than the Canon SX1, as it 230K pixels, 140K is not. Simply touch the screen icon on the top left of the LCD and you can easily switch between the LCD and EVF switch. Moving further to the right is the Display button on the icon on the screen and eliminate clutter at the top right is a jog wheel to make adjustments, depending on the mode on the bottom right of the classic four-way controller with center are OK.

On the right is the subject for a combo A/V USB port, and is on the left side speakers. The bottom of the Made-in-Indonesia camera has a metal tripod mount housing and space for lithium-ion battery (a so-so 200 shots assessed per CIPA standard) and optional SD/SDHC cards.

What’s In The Box

The Nikon Coolpix P90 comes with everything you need, other than an SD/SDHC card. You get the camera, battery and charger, USB and A/V cable, strap and lens cap. Get ready to lose them, as it not to hold a string or clips to secure, if not in use. You also get a 180-page manual and a CD-ROM with Nikon Transfer, ArcSoft Panorama Maker, and my Picturetown utility. If you go online you can ViewNX, a decent program for processing images or a free trial CaptureNX, a much better package, but it will cost you. Since there is no RAW option, there’s really no need to spend extra money.

Performance and use

The Nikon Coolpix P90 is a 12.1-megapixel camera, so it saves 4000 x 3000 pixels JPEG. There is no RAW image as the SX1, so if this is a crucial characteristic, appearance elsewhere. After using the camera, we’re pretty sure RAW would not be such a good idea anyway, since it pretty slow saving high-resolution JPEGs (about one frame per second). RAW + JPEG would slow things to a crawl.

Nikon Coolpix P90 Top Nikon Coolpix P90 12.1MP Digital Camera Review

We used the digital camera for a variety of topics – both inside and outside – and found it quite intuitive, but definitely keep the manual close by, as you drill in the manual adjustments. For example, rather than adjust the wheel for manual focus, you have to press up and down the four-way controller. This is not a deal breaker, but it’s a bit of a learning process to get the most from this beautifully presented camera.

We started in basic research car, then moved to auto scene and finally to the manual. In Auto and Auto Scene, no parameters are changed, other than the resolution. In program AE and other manual modes, you can tweak almost everything: white balance, ISO-dose (64 to 1600 to 12 megapixels, 3 megapixels at 3200, 6400), color levels, noise reduction, D-Lighting and so on. The menu system is easy and you will not have problems making all the adjustments you want.

Once done with our shooting, it was time for our pictures to download, print and view them accurately on a monitor.

First of all, given the huge zoom, we were very pleased with the camera-stabilization system. We have very consistent results, even fully zoomed to 624mm. The lack of color fringing in extreme zoom images was also welcome. That is, we suggest you strain and with bated breath as the shutter snap.

When we made our photos we were a little concerned with the quality, because the shots had a strange fluorescent in play. Fortunately, this had to do with the screen itself, as the downloaded photos were fine. Nikon should really improve the quality of the screen, because this is their flagship Coolpix, 460K should be a given, rather than be 230K. Overall image quality was very good, with accurate colors and excellent sharpness. You can use the colors to give them a little more pop what our preferences. If we optimize the image mode to vivid photos were even more dramatic, and it’s something you should experiment with, if you choose this camera. As already mentioned, the camera is a bit pokey on the page fine save files at full resolution (about one frame per second), so forget DSLR true answer. Even for a point-and-shoot, it was a bit slower than the competition.

We were treated like the P90 digital noise impressed. It did not appear in our test shots, up to ISO 400, and was under control, even at 800th to print three-megapixel images taken at ISO 3200 and 6400 were used for the web, or a 3 x 5. However, it the camera that you limit the ISO should be held for the best results at 400, where it should. This is basically for all non-DSLRs, the Nikon should not be a hit with this problem.

As for VGA video, they are so pass in 2009 to be ridiculous. Plus, only the digital zoom works in video mode, whereby the quality even more problematic.

Conclusion

After checking reputable online sites for prices, we found the P90 for about $ 360, which seems at first glance not so bad. But – and it’s a big but – the Sony DSC-HX1 goes for $ 50 more. This is the best you’ll ever spend Ulysses Grant, although the zoom is less efficient (see our report here for the details). The Sony pan panorama laid, 10 fps shooting and 1080P is way ahead of the Coolpix. Then again, it is people that is not important one bit of video. For them, the Coolpix P90 is virtually zoom the ends of the earth and recording quality photographs. Just keep the ISO low and try to live option.

Nikon Coolpix S5100 Review

November 12th, 2010

For less than $ 300 on launch, the 12.2-megapixel Coolpix S5100 a very tempting bit of kit. With little more than a fully automatic point-and-shoot mode, but it has to go a long way to convincing us that it deserves a place on the list A.

Nikon Coolpix S5100 Front Nikon Coolpix S5100 Review

Design

Build quality feels convinced, although we are left with doubts about the flimsy-feeling battery are not the first time that we have leveled complaints at a compact mid-range Nikon. The shell is made of plastic and the buttons on the back feel a little cheap. However, the S5100 is can be virtually as small as a compact. At 97mm wide and weighs a shade over 130g, it is ideal for dropping into a pocket. The 2.7in, is 230,000-pixel screen is a different tick in the box: It is light and fairly crisp.

Features

The features list is otherwise sparse. There is a face-priority face detection mode, which focus primarily on human faces and works well, and there is a similar self-timer. Select the Smart Portrait mode and level of the camera at someone’s face, and he will wait until they crack a smile on the shutter fires. It is an impressive piece of party, and works reliably, even though a group might timer mode to have been useful as well.

Otherwise, manual modes are scarce: white balance, and two stops of exposure compensation all you get. While the S5100 is not a good choice for still images purists is the inclusion of a decent HD 720p, 30fps movie mode, a definite plus, especially at this price.

Nikon CoolPix S5100 Top Nikon Coolpix S5100 Review

The focal length of the lens is a modest 28mm-140mm in 35mm terms, but while not offer the spectacular length, it is more suitable for point-and-shoot camera, and lens shift image stabilizer is very effective. More importantly, it is extremely sharp. At low ISO settings and a careful focus, the S5100 produced some nice sharp images in our tests.

Performance

Adjustments on that front running from ISO 100 up to a very ambitious 3200th ISO ISOs 100-400 are not each other: sharp edges, and virtually no noise meant our test shots all looked very good. ISO 800 began to produce more noise, although not enough to discourage pressure on large sizes. Many images were taken at ISO 1600 is good enough for print, cut, and if not to expand.

Only the top setting of ISO 3200 produced severe defects pictures. There is established the option of ISO settings up at either 400 or 800 ISO, you should rely on the S5100 to choose its own ISO, without visiting the upper reaches of its capabilities.

Of greater importance is the S5100′s performance when it came to chromatic aberrations, the unpleasant symptoms in almost every test pattern that areas had made the extreme contrast. Spindly branches against a cloudy sky brought it particularly bad, but it was available elsewhere. It is the only large optical S5100 failure and the only factor that keeps the A-list.

Nikon Coolpix S5100 Back Nikon Coolpix S5100 Review

Conclusion

The fact that the S5100 is less than $ 200 is an undeniably good thing: it usually takes very good pictures, regardless of color edges, and is especially sharp in the lower to mid ISO settings. The 720p movie mode is also a good reason to consider this instead of the Canon Ixus 105, which records video at VGA resolution only. We are not crazy about the all-plastic construction, or purple fringing issues, but we like almost everything.

Nikon Coolpix S1100pj Review

November 4th, 2010

The mere thought of a projector filling in a point-and-shoot camera is radical to the max. Nikon is on the second projector cam model, following the successful debut of the Coolpix S1000pj. The new Nikon Coolpix S1100pj brings more lumens projector, which means a brighter display and the ability to connect to a computer, designing everything on his screen. The Nikon Coolpix S1100pj has a megapixel boost for 2010, along with Nikon’s latest EXPEED image processing C2. With touch-screen functionality and many scene modes, we found the S1100pj for point-and-shoot users who do not expect to get home to take pictures take on Facebook and hate the mere thought of crowds suitable for one minute LCD screen .

Design

Design wise, has not changed much on the Nikon Coolpix S1100pj. The camera has a small stand that the camera pans to an angle for the projection on the wall, and mirror-clad box projector sits in the middle of the camera front. There is also a special projector button on the top in a dial that adjusts the projector to focus spread, depending on how close the camera embedded in a wall or.

In the back, the Nikon Coolpix S1100pj a 3-inch 460,000 pixel LCD, which us a reasonable lens. The LCD is a touchscreen, although it’s resistive, so certain times we found ourselves cursing lot when we tried to tap a button and nothing happened. Three small buttons are stacked on the right side of the LCD, controlling the video recording, scene, and playback capabilities.

The Nikon Coolpix S1100pj has a 28mm wide 5x optical zoom lens, controlled by a timer switch zoom. A lithium-ion battery is a hatch in the bottom side of the camera, along with an SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot. In addition to the projector, the Nikon Coolpix S1100pj like any other simple point-and-shoot.

Shooting

The Nikon Coolpix S1100pj was just point-and-shoot on the outside as it was on the inside. We had Easy Auto, Auto, Scene, Portrait, Smile Shutter modes, car and seemed the most modern of the bunch. Of course, we could set to 6400 ISO, white balance and exposure compensation to play, but remember the shutter speed and aperture.

The Nikon Coolpix S1100pj the scene modes were rich, from portrait to landscape mode, and even fireworks. We have arranged multi-shot 16, the 16 small pictures in chronological slices across the image. The Nikon Coolpix S1100pj paint also offered plenty of hokey point-and-shoot bullets as the ability to apply an image and silly stamps in slideshows.

Nikon Coolpix S1100pj Front Nikon Coolpix S1100pj Review

But the main attraction was of course the Nikon Coolpix is S1100pj projector, to be presented to 14 lumens brightness and a contrast ratio of 30:1. We were able to stand as close as 10 inches from the wall and as far away as 7 ft. 10 in. The projector throws ranging from 5 to 47 centimeters, and it was not all bad for a single white LED light. Engage in the Projector mode, a button away, and the ability to project our computer screen was great. Think of all the … Video games, we could see projected from the comfort of your own computer. That’s right, video games.

Image quality

Like almost every other point-and-shoot camera, the Nikon Coolpix S1100pj with a prescription for mediocrity is safe. Nikon kept the 1/2.3-inch sensor, but increased the number of pixels to 14 mega pixels. This means that smaller pixels and more of them are competing for as much light as they can.

The good news is that in the best light with a low ISO, the Nikon Coolpix S1100pj able to produce beautiful images. But the purple fringing, lack of detail in complex environments, shooting and increased noise in any questionable low light environment always met us at the next corner.

For a point-and-shoot, the Nikon Coolpix S1100pj is good. It’s for the taking simple pictures and throw them on the wall with a built-in projector meant, and that’s awesome. But do not expect groundbreaking photography is.

Nikon Coolpix S1100pj Top Nikon Coolpix S1100pj Review

Video Quality

We also get 720p HD video, which performed well in bright light and gave us a lot of noise in low light. We could visually in the video mode, which was a plus zoom, and it was a lot of fun watching video on the projector. Videos are MPEG-4, so that they are good for uploading to the Internet, and they are popular. MOV format recorded.

Conclusion

Nikon has something incredibly exciting to lead the way, and the Nikon Coolpix S1100pj will surely win over a significant amount of consumers who want the camera to the projector in it. We can not only host slide shows for a room full of people, but we can also use the Coolpix S1100pj give presentations with our computer. There is no need to spread a little cry LCD screen simply sit back and enjoy over 14 lumens projected to finish a 47-inch.

But the Nikon Coolpix S1100pj is still a bit old point-and-shoot with a small battery and a claim to an hour projector. Although we found the actual number to be closer to 35-45 minutes required before a fee. Functions are limited, and the image quality is also in the point-and-shoot median. We would recommend the Nikon Coolpix S1100pj for gadget geeks and technology enthusiasts, but we also see a market in the broad spectrum of point-and-shooters.

One thing is certain, and that is the fact that Nikon in the director’s chair when it comes to projector cams. But if to make up the rest of the competitors, we are certainly fighting some cat.

Nikon Coolpix S80 Review

October 27th, 2010

In view of the mobile phone market has touch screen devices with open arms, there are few cameras on the market that offer image in without keys. The new Nikon Coolpix S80 looks to change that as there is a camera that is begging to be touched.

As you would expect with a touch screen camera, the Coolpix S80, the display is something special. This is because Nikon has seen fit kit for the S80 with OLED display. Unlike Samsung, we can not from another manufacturer who think using their cameras OLED.

Samsung are the benefits of broadcasting his AMOLED technology for a while now, and there are a number of cameras that come with its OLED display – the flagship camera, the NX10. All of these come with a three-inch display, Nikon has decided to go a little further and a 3.5-inch OLED on the S80.

The additional space means that images razor-sharp, bright and spacious look when viewed through the screen. The OLED display is also multi-touch, so you can shoot zoom, focus and, while tapping on the screen.

In our tests, the screen was extremely sensitive. Only the S80 holds up to us to take a picture of lapse, the shutter button. This is not a bad thing, as you want the camera as appealing as possible for fast moving action. Packed into the S80 is a 14.1MP sensor and 5x optical zoom with it. The camera also comes with HD Movie recording capabilities that allow you to shoot HD footage in 720p at 30fps can.

There is also HDMI on board, you can also view your photos and movies on an HD ready TV with no import to another device. Considering how narrow the chassis (99 x 63 x 17mm) Nikon managed to hide these compounds must also at the camera.

The Nikon S80 will be added to those looking for a stylish but functional Snapper. It is certainly stylish. We saw the red and black version of the camera and it is a thing of beauty. Little flourishes like the sliding case to protect the lens when not in use are large.

While the OLED screen is massive on the S80 – and it’s great to see your pictures – the touch screen controls were a bit tricky. Those who are used to with real keys, checks hard at first, but we were only set a few minutes, as we have a picture.

Some of these are definitely justified (portrait, sunset, close-up), others are a little bizarre (Museum, Essen).

If you like to do some manual control, then the ISO range is pushed on the camera to 6400 ISO and you can close-up, to control an image with some decent macro. The Nikon Coolpix S80 published in October 2010 and is the price $329.

October 26th, 2010

Nikon Coolpix led to the S8100 digital camera. At first glance, the S8100 as a normal consumer telephoto zoom compact, but the specifications tell another story. Canon S8100 is equipped with features that really packed surprised. It has a 10x optical zoom, 1080p Full HD movies, dot 10fps continuous shooting, VR, ultra-high resolution LCD display 921 000 more. So let’s take a look and see what is under the hood.

We expect to renew probably Nikon, even when it comes to consumer digital cameras. As new technologies become the standard in any digicam, you probably ask yourself, what can come with Nikon? COOLPIX S8100 really shines when it comes to features. It has backlit 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and EXPEED digital image processor C2 is the best image quality possible from a consumer perspective fut digicam.

Consumers want to get the best image quality for just the camera, and with the new Nikon Ultra-Zoom, it is now possible.

to shoot this beautiful and stylish little camera Full HD 1080p movies with stereo sound. It comes with dedicated HDMI output to stream movies directly to your HDTV display at home. You can zoom while taking video clips in full HD as well. I am very curious to see S8100 video samples, check their video quality and see how it compares those on an ASP-C sensor (interesting. ..).

  • Video output: NTSC or PAL.

You can also shoot movies 1h 20min (1080p) on a single battery charge. It’s pretty impressive if you love movies with digital camera.

Nikon S8100 Top Nikon Coolpix S8100 12.1MP Digital Camera Review

10fps when I mention it was no joke, I was completely serious. The Nikon Coolpix S8100 can record still images up to 10 fps. In addition, the camera can automatically pre-capture two still images when the shutter button is pressed halfway. S8100 sequence mode allows photographers to record up to 120 fps images for fast-moving subjects. Together with excellent Nikon AF motor, you can capture some great sports action with a blink of an eye. Nikon’s EXPEED image processor C2 is what drives the S81000 ultra performance.

On the back of the Nikon S8100 you will find a superb 3-inch LCD display. This 921 000 dot high-res LCD screen with wide viewing angle and improved contrast. It is covered with anti-reflective coating for optimal viewing experience when shooting outdoors. Because it is a consumer digital camera, the composition of still images and film are done with the LCD screen, so that the LCD quality is very important. I do not really know what kind of panel it uses, but I can see that new digital cameras with OLED for maximum contrast, sharpness and visibility have found.

Nikon Coolpix S8100 offers you the opportunity to create HDR images in the camera. Normally I’m not a big fan of In-Camera HDR functionality, but also for amateur photographers, this is a welcome feature.Nikon has its own algorithms to identify the photographed scene, and specific settings for optimal picture quality. Photographers can also correct red-eye effect with Red-Eye Fix S8100 function.

When it comes to picture quality and 1080p HD video, I’m pretty sure that Nikon to deliver excellent results under most conditions.

Nikon Coolpix P7000 10.1 MP Digital Camera Review

October 19th, 2010

Compact Nikon’s top-spec P7000 has a large 10.1MP sensor and 7.1x optical wide zoom (28-200mm equiv) lens. A clear competitor to Canon’s G-Series crown. With a 10.1-megapixel sensor, a larger than average size 1/1.7-inch, there is much room for first-class quality – larger sensor area means a larger pixel sites is equivalent to a smaller and therefore more light available to each what a better signal and so the theory goes, a “clean” image.

The P7000 features a 28mm wide angle Nikkor lens that can expand with 7.1 zoom, up to a maximum of 200mm optical and even benefit from optical image stabilization. The recently announced Canon PowerShot G12 – a clear hot-on-the-heels competitors – has a 5x zoom lens, which means a 28-140mm zoom compared.

Elsewhere, the P7000 is a 3-inch, 920k-dot LCD screen on the back and also has an optical viewfinder available, although due to design constraints this has only about a 80 percent field of view, or about 20 percent of the edge of the frame is not visible to the composition, but will be recorded in the final image.

As summarized in many other advanced, the P7000 to those who they would like their photographs to know. Manual modes provide for full control permit, including RAW capabilities, an electronic virtual horizon to the alignment of vertical and horizontal horizons, and a wealth of controls easily accessible on a variety of dials for the immediate and physical adjustment.

As with many other cameras on the market recently, the P7000 has released an HD movie mode for the capture of 720p at a cinematic 24 frames per second. With a 3.5 mm microphone jack is also included, it is possible to put an external microphone for advanced audio recording during video recording.

The P7000 is quite significant for body building, optical viewfinder and large lens (there are some 5cms protrudes from the body at full zoom). Knobs are also widespread, with a number of different functions at the top of the camera. From right to left there is a dial for exposure compensation, that a small orange light when activated, has an adjustable AV/TV button before that. Select the main mode is just outside the center right of the standard hot shoe and the far left has a secondary mode dial to quickly select and adjust the likes of ISO and white balance.

nikon coolpix p7000 top Nikon Coolpix P7000 10.1 MP Digital Camera Review

On the back there is also a thumb wheel, similar to one found on a DSLR camera, and a D-pad that go through as both a four-way pad and wheel speed and options. After both the thumb and rotating D-Pad is similar with twin wheels and is ideal for adjusting aperture and shutter speed values in manual mode regardless.

Although the size of the checks may sound confusing, it actually is not and it is a pleasure, physical properties, settings and not have to dig in the menu to adjust all the time. Because of this separation of menus, but you will have what you need access to get to set certain options.

When using the P7000 has good and bad points. The first thing that falls on the nose, is the sheer amount of time to process RAW files to the card. If a single RAW frame is fired, it is not possible to do everything for about 4 seconds. This may not sound like long, but for lovers of photography, it is much slower than it should be. A maximum of five RAW images can be rotated in a burst mode before the camera buffer completely blocked, although this will take considerably longer to clear – so the P7000 really is not necessarily one for high-speed burst-snapper.

The menus themselves also suffer from even minor delays. should, however, for nearly 500 of your hard-earned money to get a compact far superior to average not, as the case here, a little worse – that would be very finicky to moan about this, most other cameras. The black, which is subtle between button and menu arrival, but it’s there (this could be corrected in a future firmware update, yes, we hope it does see improvement).

nikon coolpix p7000 back Nikon Coolpix P7000 10.1 MP Digital Camera Review

Second, there is a small inaccuracy of the exposure compensation dial to the camera at the top right. There she sits almost flush rises ever so slightly more over the back, it’s pretty easy to knock it out of position, especially to reach finger “round” is to have to press the shutter button. Yes, an orange light indicates that the exposure was adjusted, but there is no guarantee that you notice over and then it may be too late.

If it’s good, but it’s great. The P7000 is the rear LCD is beautiful and determined, and the 3-inch size is more than sufficient. The dual-axis electronic level is also quite useful for accurate horizontal and vertical alignment, which is particularly useful to avoid “reeving” in flat image planes – frame and if the horizontal and vertical actions read flat, but the picture in the frame still is not square to be appropriately aware of reposition themselves. Then there is the P7000 viewfinder that is perhaps a slightly different story of advantages and disadvantages – to present on one side and without sounding too obvious, there is an optical viewfinder (as opposed to almost all compact cameras on the market) which is great if bright sunlight is too much for the rear window. The biggest problem is his view, however: with only 80 percent of the last frame is actually visible in the Finder itself is not ideal for precise framing. Although having an optical type is preferable for reasons of clarity, a model such as the P7000 would potentially benefit more from an electronic viewfinder, so directly for a greater field of vision and the ability to display images in the eye.

The autofocus system is fast and precise (expected but not necessarily that single out fast-moving subjects with ease, as per the majority of small cars on the market) and the diversity of the focus area options freely chosen to be a good provide the degree of adaptation.

Outside of the decent car, point-and-shoot modes of the P7000 standard PSAM has manual control modes. Controlling this is thanks to a double-wheel system on the back of the camera. It’s a shame the manual focus option can not use a similar rotary thumb wheel as it is currently controlled by the up and down buttons on the D-Pad, which make it a bit tricky to use accurately.

Finally there is the 720p HD movie mode. Smooth and high quality offers high frame rate playback and auto focus is relatively fast on a mission to (though not perfect, to say it does). The zoom can be, and glides elegantly from a focal length to another for the smooth absorption transitions.

It is worth the price point of comparison to P7000. With around 480 pounds it certainly is not cheap, but then there is a lot for your money. It undercuts the marginal Canon G11 and/or G12, which his closest competitor guided camera. The two have much in common, and it is more than likely, many will try a lot of time scratching his chin photo shops, weigh the two spend. With such a price this camera is clearly not for everyone – you will take with savvy to know what you do to buy it for a good reason (perhaps as an “on-the-go” support for a DSLR that you do not want, anywhere ), and given its size, quite large and holds a small bag in tow, instead of popping in a bag There is room to expand. and hot shoe flash units and microphones of the P7000 is also a wide-angle converter is available, which in the light of angle steep enough to bring can equate to a 21mm wide angle.
