New batch of Nikon COOLPIX cameras unveiled Gizmag
For those happy to let the camera take care of choosing the most appropriate settings, the auto scene mode selection on the L26 point and shoot will be of interest. The camera shares the same sensor, sensitivity and video capabilities as the L810 but has a 5x (26 - 130mm) optical zoom lens, and a 3-inch, 230,000 dot LCD display.
Probably the most interesting of the three for me is the ruggedized S30 . It's shockproof to 2.6 feet (0.79 meters), and waterproof to depths of 9.8 feet (2.98 meters) but some concessions have been made to keep the price down. There's a 10.1 megapixel CCD sensor capable of 720p video recording, electronic image stabilization and a 3x wide-angle zoom lens and a 2.6-inch, 230,000 dot LCD display.
All three models operate using AA-sized batteries and come in a choice of colors to match your style or mood.The L810 has a suggested retail of US$279.95, while the L26 and the S30 are both priced at $119.95. The latter certainly seems like a good deal for a durable compact.
S-series additionsAt the front of the line is the 1.3-inches (30.6 mm) thin S9300 superzoom. This model has built-in GPS, an 18x optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens (25 - 450mm), lens shift vibration reduction (VR), ISO125 - 3200 sensitivity and a 16 megapixel, backside illuminated CMOS sensor for better performance in low light situations. It's capable of full 1080p high definition video recording at 30 frames per second with stereo audio and has a 3-inch, 921,000 dot resolution LCD display. The included Li-ion battery is said to be good for about 200 shots per charge.
Thinner still (1.1 inches/26 mm) is the S6300 . It too has built-in GPS and the same CMOS sensor as the S9300, but features a 10x NIKKOR ED glass optical zoom lens (25 - 250mm), and a 2.7-inch, 230,000 dot resolution LCD display. Its Easy Panorama mode is said to make 180/360 degree image capture a might easier.
The 0.9-inch (20.8 mm) thin S4300 is described by Nikon as a no-frills touchscreen compact, and as such loses the CMOS sensor for a 16 megapixel CCD sensor, has a wide-angle 6x (26 - 156mm) optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens and a 3-inch, 460,000 dot resolution LCD touch display. Its Auto Scene Selector takes care of selecting optimum camera settings for a particular scene, the Face-Priority AF can find and focus on up to 12 faces, and it's capable of recording 720p video recording at 30 frames per second.
The final new member of the S-series is the S3300 , the thinnest of the bunch at 0.8 inches (19.5 mm). It features the same sensor as the S4300 but gets a 6x (26 - 156mm) optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens and a non-touch 2.7-inch, 230,000 dot resolution LCD display.
The S9300 carries a suggested retail of $349.95, the S6300 is $199.95, the S4300 is $169.95 and the S3300 is $139.95.
Bring on the new high-end P-series modelsNikon has boosted the 36x zoom capabilities of last year's P500 model to a 42x optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens (24 - 1000mm) on the new P510 model, and given users some additional zoom control on the side of the lens barrel, too. The camera benefits from a 16.1-megapixel backside illuminated CMOS sensor, Nikon's EXPEED C2 digital image processing engine, optical VR image stabilization and ISO100 - 3200 sensitivity (which can be bumped up to the equivalent of 6400 in Hi 1 mode).
Continuous shooting of five full resolution images per second should catch the action, and those who like to geotag their photos will be pleased by the inclusion of built-in GPS. The huge autofocus zoom can also be used when recording full 1080p high definition video with stereo audio, there's an electronic viewfinder and a tilting 3-inch, 921,000 dot resolution LCD display, and the Li-ion battery is said to last about 240 shots per charge.
The new P310 gets the same fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, 4.2x optical Zoom, NIKKOR glass lens (24 - 100mm) as the P300 before it, but has been given a resolution boost courtesy of a 16.1-megapixel backside illuminated CMOS sensor. There's optical image stabilization, similarly capable ISO sensitivity as its ultra-zoom P-series companion and a Backlight HDR mode that merges three images captured at different exposures for a tonal-rich image.
Nikon says that the P310 has been designed to be the serious photographer's compact companion, and comes with a DSLR-like P/S/A/M exposure control, and a new Zoom Memory function that enables the selection of popular prime focal lengths during shooting. It has the same video capabilities as its new stable-mate, and the same high resolution LCD display but its included Li-ion battery gives about 230 shots per charge.
The most obvious change to the front of the camera (compared to the P300) is the addition of a Fn button - something that isn't mentioned in the product description but seems to point to the ability to set function control for improved handling.
The new P510 has a suggested retail of $429.95, while the P310 is $100 cheaper.

How should I fix my digital camera? It's a Nikon Coolpix 3200.?
I dropped my camera which forced the lens into a partially permanent open position. After figiding with the lens, I was able to get it to open up all the way by powering on the camera while simultaneously pulling on the lens gently. I was able to take a picture, indicating that the camera was okay. However, after powering off the camera, the lens got stuck and now is in a permanently halfway open position. Any subsequent efforts to figid with the lens have been futile.
My camera is out of warranty, so I will cover the costs to get it fixed. One option is to shell out $150 to get it fixed by an independent camera shop (that specializes in Nikons). But I wonder if it will be cheaper just to send it in to Nikon? Or what about taking it to a regular camera shop? Any other suggestions?
Thank you!
Lindsey
According to the following website, it is cheaper to buy a new one than to pay $150 to have the current one fixed. Prices are down so much that cameras with only 3.2 MP are on cellphones ow.

Nikon Coolpix 3200 SD Card Compatibility?
I have a nikon coolpix 3200 and would like to know if itll function with the SanDisk Ultra II SD Card
As long as the SD card is not a fake, it will work fine in your camera. Avoid buying them on-line and purchase them at local electronics stores and you should be just fine. Right now 1GB cards are on sale for $12. Buy two

You see the 'lighting' symbol at the top of the round 4-way switch on the back of the camera - while in the record mode, pressing the 'up' switch will cycle thru the various flash settings: Auto, Fill-in, Red-Eye reduction, Off.

Nikon Coolpix 3200 Blur?
I have Nikon Coolpix 3200 and it Blur each time when i take photos in less light places. I dont want to use Flash bz it makes more of whites. So i always use Natural Mode bt it keep Blur. But my friend has sony cybershot 5MP and it takes the same pic without flash very nice.
Hi
I tried Natural Mode only.
Bt the same option and same shot in sony came without blur. But Nikon Blured.
The Coolpix is capable of shooting in lower light. You just have to steady the camera on a wall, table, pole or any other sturdy location. If there is no such place, then hold your camera to your face using the viewfinder. With the camera held to your eye, resting on your cheek, hold the camera with both hands and slowly squeeze the shutter release.
Have you tried using some of the shooting modes?
Since your camera is over four years old, you may want to think about buying a new on in the next year or so
Nikon Coolpix 3200 help?
Ok so I have a problem my Nikon Coolpix 3200. When I try to turn it on the green on/off light goes on but the lens don't open and the screen doesn't turn on. I have tried changing the batteries and that doesn't help. And now, since I have been fiddling with it so much, the green light wont turn off unless I take the batteries out.
help?!?!?!?
It's broken.
Does anybody know if the Nikon Coolpix 3200 comes with a built in timer for taking photos?
u can set a timer (i think its 10 seconds) on my older nikon coolpix so probably
which digital camera is better? the nikon coolpix 3200 or the nikon coolpix L4?
i also woudl liek to know comparing other features about the movie mode..i no wthat the 3200 recorded short movies with voice but i do not know if the L4 records movies with voice. i know it does record movies but i do not know if it records voice like the 3200? can someone help m eout with this?
I would think the Nikon L4 since its a 4 megapixel as opposed to the 3200 which is a 3 megapixel. The 2in screen would be a nice feature as well.
What is the best digital camera for low light resolution?
I currently have a Nikon Coolpix 3200 camera which was given to me as a gift...The megapixels aren't that great on this camera, and I am into photography and want to step it up a notch and get a better digital camera. I take a lot of indoor photos, and I have found that with the camera I have now, I can't take good pictures inside. They come out pretty pixelated and I usually get only 2 good shots out of every 5 or 6. And forget trying to take pictures at a concert... they never turn out. Does anyone know of any really good digital camera that works well indoors? I am interested in maybe getting one with an interchangable lens. Price really isnt that much of an option, something around $400 - $800 may be good for me right now.. but I'm open to any option.
A digital SLR will have the best lens that will allow the most light in.
Some "prosumer" (non-SLR) models have very good lenses too, which do very well. Look for a small number given for the f value (f2). A small f number means a big aperture, means more light, means better low light pictures.
