Overall, I was pleased with the Nikon Coolpix S7c.  The image quality was very good and the wireless features worked well.  The camera is also very stylish and thin - you’re sure to turn some heads.  If the looks aren’t enough, then just flash the large 3 inch screen and that should just about do it… The Nikon Coolpix S7c is perfectly suited to the “gadget freak” that is looking for an ultra-compact camera and wants to take advantage of the wireless capabilities of the camera.  The camera’s style will also appeal to a broader cross section of users.

The Nikon D40 is an attempt to make DSLR photography accessible to more people than ever before, making it one of the most important models in the company’s history. Crucially Nikon haven’t simply concentrated on reducing the price by reducing the features. Cost is obviously a key factor in this market, but accessibility also plays a large part, and Nikon have achieved both of these aims.

The Nikon Coolpix L5 is a light compact camera with a bundle of nice features that offers novice shooters a quick and easy way to shoot digital photos under a wide variety of conditions with relative ease, as well as do some simple processing and image correction in-camera. The camera would benefit from an in-camera adjustment to sharpen the images somewhat.

Nikon (www.nikondigital.com), the world leader in high quality digital imaging, precision optics and photo imaging technology, today announced its new D40 digital SLR camera will be Nikon’s first camera certified to deliver the highest quality images and photo sharing capabilities with the new Windows Vista. Using the Nikon D40 along with Windows Vista will make it easier and more fun to capture, organize and share beautiful pictures with family and friends.

Nikon’s (www.nikondigital.com) highly acclaimed Capture NX™ software will be updated and boast several new improvements, including full support for Intel-based Mac OS X computers. A demonstration of Capture NX, in Beta format, will take place at Nikons booth during the MacWorld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, January 9-12.

The D40 is Nikon’s entry level digital SLR, replacing the D50. It is one of the most economical dSLRs currently on the market, either as “body-only” or as a kit with a lens. It is also the first digital SLR camera to compete head-on with a number of bridge cameras thanks to its size and weight. Compact and light, the D40 integrates all of Nikon’s newest technologies, but omits a few features found on other Nikon dSLRs to keep costs down.
