 Mumbai: Nikon is planning to introduce three new compact digital cameras in its Coolpix Style Series - S70, S640 and S570. The Nikon Coolpix cameras incorporate Nikons Nikkor lenses as well as Nikons EXPEED digital image processing concept. A new enhancement to Nikon's Smart Portrait System includes an all-new Skin Softening feature designed to both smooth and even skin tones.
Other Coolpix features include Vibration Reduction (VR) Image Stabilisation, 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.
Coolpix S70 features Nikons newly developed 3.5-inch Clear Color Display and a new generation of touch-screen controls. The camera is capable to capture HD video at 1280 x 720 pixels (720p). It comes with a 12.1 megapixels sensor, a 5x wide-angle Zoom-NIKKOR lens, and ISO settings up to 6400.
Nikon said that 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.
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 S70 will be available in September 2009 for Rs. 19,000) in a choice of colours and textures including Red & Red, Champagne & Beige, Black & Black, or Champagne & Light Brown.
