Nikon Announces Eight New Digital Cameras

If there is one company that keeps up to a regular release schedule, it’s Nikon. If it seems like it has only been a few months since their last slew of releases, it’s for good reason. It was only this past February when they released eight new digital cameras, all of which are essentially outdated now, thanks to these new ones.

First are their budget L14 and L15 cameras. The L14 features a 7.1 MP sensor with 6.3-18.9mm lens while the L15 features an 8.0 sensor with 5.7-17.1mm lens. Moving onto their “Style” series, we have the S510 and S700. The S510 features 8.0 megapixels and 5.7-17.1mm lens, and the S700 features a staggering 12.1 megapixel sensor and a 7.9-23.7mm lens. The L14, L15 and S510 all come in Silver, Blue and Pink varieties, while the S700 offers models in “Titanium Silver” and “Urban Black”.

Also new are the S51 and S51c, which both share the similar design that was introduced with the S6 released last August. Both feature 8.1 megapixels and a 6.3mm-18.9mm lens, but the “c” model includes WiFi capabilities. On the downside, it appears you can only upload to Nikon’s own “my Picturetown” service.

Nikon made huge news this past March when they finally brought back a capable point-and-shoot camera, the P5000, which I was personally pleased about since it included a viewfinder, something that all non-SLR Nikons lacked up until then. Well, the P5100 improves on the original by offering a 12.1 megapixel sensor, but includes the same 7.5-26.3mm lens. The P50 is a small brother of the P5100 and comes in Black and Silver models. They include an 8.1 megapixel sensor (Nikon must have many of these on hand ;-)) and a nice wide-angle 4.7-17.0mm lens. You can learn more about these new cameras through the link below.
