Nikon's Coolpix S1000pj

The new Nikon Coolpix S1000pj digital camera offers a 12.1-megapixel image sensor and a 5x wide-angle Nikkor zoom lens. By far, the most unique feature of the Coolpix S1000pj is the small built-in image projector. The S1000pj includes a 5-way (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization system and a bright, high-resolution 2.7-inch LCD screen for reviewing your photos. The Nikon S1000pj also has a smart portrait system that allows a photographer to get amazing portraits. The built-in, portable projector lets you display an entertaining slide show (or movies!) immediately... it is like having a personal theater wherever you go.

Latest 2009 Nikon Digital SLRs

Nikon has announced several new SLR digital cameras with some outstanding elements in 2009. Both Nikon Coolpix compact cameras and the Nikon digital SLRs have new offerings, and as always, Nikon is leading the industry with new functionality while keeping its reputation for excellence.

The three new Nikon DSLRs that have been released are the Nikon D5000, the Nikon D3000 and the Nikon D300s. Each of the three presents superior features at reasonable prices, while the Nikon D5000 and D300s contain some new capabilities not seen before in a Nikon digital SLR.

The most clear benefit of the Nikon D3000 SLR is its value. If you consider yourself an earnest photographer, you should own one or more Nikon DSLR. And at the same cost as an excellent compact camera, a person can purchase the 10.2 MP Nikon D3000. It has a brilliant, 3-inch, high-res LCD that allows viewing across 170-degrees; ISO 1600 for low-light photography; an 11-point auto-focus system; continual shots at up to 3 fps; almost instantaneous shutter release time, plus additional features.


The Nikon D5000 is a great digital SLR for the cost-conscious who expect the best picture resolution (12.3 MP) and attributes that, in the past, you could only find in DSLRs prices significantly higher. The Live View feature gives the capability to view and compose your photo in the bright LCD screen before the shot is taken, and this digital SLR has 4 autofocus modes (e.g. Face-priority AutoFocus) and 11 AF areas. An ultrasonic sensor cleaning system keeps dust and other unwelcome bits from ruining your images.

Nikon's D300s DSLR carries the highest pricetag of these three new Nikon cameras, but for the higher cost it presents the most features. Continuous shots can be taken up to 8 fps, a detailed, hi-resolution, 920K-pixel LCD, and a remarkable 51-point auto-focus, including a scene recognition database built into the camera.

The D5000 and D300s both offer a new capability we have been anticipating for years: Video capture in a Nikon DSLR. The extensive selection of Nikkor lenses that can be used on these cameras will give any photographer the power to compose practically any shot that can be imagined. And with this new feature, an inspired photographer could also turn out to be a brilliant movie director. Making up and capturing extraordinary hi-res, 720P movies are now possible for anyone, and far exceed what can be captured with any compact camera. These two Nikon DSLRs capture video at 24 frames per second, including sound input in stereo.

These new Nikon DSLRs, as well as a multitude of other brands and styles of cameras for any budget, can be ordered from Ritz Camera online. The Nikon D300s and Nikon D3000 can be pre-ordered now, and will be shipping out shortly.

Nikon Coolpix S630

Reprinted with permission from HotTechBuys - >Nikon Coolpix S630

The sleek little Nikon Coolpix S630 is a great option for any kind of user, taking finely detailed photos or high quality movies. It may look great from a distance but in your hands it is surprisingly small. In fact despite its high performance and wide array of features, it is housed in one of the smallest body of any similar camera.

At 12 megapixels, every photo comes out so sharp you can enlarge parts or crop others without fear of losing any picture quality. The 7x Zoom-Nikkor lens gives you the ultimate shooting flexibility by allowing you to shoot images both far away and as close as 60 cm from the lens. Flowers, sunsets, or children, every subject comes out crisp and beautiful. The most common problem the average person has is blurry images, but with electronic 4-way VR image stabilization, a shaking hand won’t ruin an entire photo, even if you are shooting in a low-light environment. Also, when shooting in darker spots, the Coolpix employs an ISO well beyond its peers (ISO 6400), letting you get brighter photos even with less natural light.

Many of the hardest parts of photographing your friends have been solved by Nikon cameras. For example, their smart face-priority AF searches the frame for faces, keeping the focus on eyes and smiles instead of whatever happens to be near them. Plus, you may never see a red eye again, since Coolpix reduces red-eye with a pupil-shrinking pre-flash, and then auto-corrects the red-eye in photos before saving it to memory.

New and Improved - The Canon Powershot SD 1100

When it comes to Canon cameras, you can be assured of the quality of the photos and the performance of the camera. This Canon PowerShot SD 1100 IS has many new and improved features like the 8.0- megapixel Digital Elph bring high-resolution images with original sharpness and complete impact of colors even when they are enlarged. The face detection technology enhances the clarity of the photo without affecting the skin tones but at the same time focuses on the flash or daylight and makes the picture appreciable. You must have noticed that if you want to take a picture of your kid playing it gets blurred with other digital cameras but Canon PowerShot SD 1100 IS has motion detection technology added to it and it reduces blurring of photos giving them a lively and clear touch.

In addition you get a 2.5 -inch PureColor LCD, which gives you perfect control and adjust brightness so that you get accurate color. The screen is visible in any kind of light and is also scratch resistant with anti-reflecting quoting on it for a perfect vision. Furthermore the DIGIC III image processor in it provides you with sharper images and enhanced functionality. The result is your image with excellent picture quality and the red-eye correction is also possible with this camera. You can detect and remove red-eye from the images that are taken with flash light as well as you can also set the camera so that it corrects the red-eye defect during shooting itself.
