Building on the success of Nikon's previous touch-screen models, the ultra-stylish Coolpix S70 features an enhanced interface and organic light-emitting diode display technology for a new user experience, housed in a stylish camera body. The Coolpix S1000pj features the world's first built-in projector, which enables consumers to share their images and videos in an all-new fun way. Additionally, the Coolpix S640 and Coolpix S570 complete the new smarter, cooler, simpler Coolpix line.
The Nikon Coolpix cameras incorporate Nikon's NIKKOR lenses, delivering accurate detail and brilliant color, as well as Nikon's EXPEEDTM digital image processing concept, which ensures high-quality pictures with stunning color and sharpness. A new enhancement to Nikon's Smart Portrait System that helps create beautiful portraits includes an all-new Skin Softening feature designed to both smooth and even skin tones. Other Coolpix features include Vibration Reduction (VR) Image Stabilization, minimizing blur that may appear in pictures, even in low-light or unsteady conditions; and Scene Auto Selector, which automatically recognizes the shooting situation and adjusts camera settings accordingly.
New to the Coolpix line, OLED technology offers the benefits of vivid color reproduction, sharp contrast and the absence of afterimages. The capacitive touch-screen provides an immediate response at the lightest touch of the display for a fun and intuitive feel to every camera operation. For example, using the Touch Shutter feature, users can have a completely "button-free" experience and focus on and photograph a subject by simply touching it on the camera's display.
The touch-screen also makes viewing and retouching images more fun and efficient. With the swipe of a finger, users can scroll through images and use a pinching motion with two fingers to zoom in or out on displayed images, switching between thumbnail and full screen views. Additional new touch-screen controls include on-screen sliders for adjusting brightness and Scene Effect Adjustment, which offers controls specific to the scene mode in use.
The Coolpix S70 features 12.1 megapixels; a 5x wide-angle Zoom-NIKKOR lens; ISO 6400; 5-way VR Image Stabilization System; Subject Tracking; Scene Auto Selector Mode; Nikon's Smart Portrait System and an ultra-stylish design. The S70 will be available in September 2009 in a choice of colors and textures including Red & Red, Champagne & Beige, Black & Black, or Champagne & Light Brown. ■
