The Nikon COOLPIX P7800 – Casting a new light on quality

Perfect for professions that require a high quality portable camera like architects or those working in real estate, the P7800 is equipped to impress.
At 12 megapixels, the large illuminated CMOS sensor coupled with a built-in electronic viewfinder and clear 3” RGBW LCD vari-angle display puts you in total control of your photography, wherever your adventures take you. The ultimate on-the-go camera with rapid performance, quick start-up time and pin sharp autofocus with second generation Vibration Reduction, the P7800 is capable of continuous shooting up to 8fps and ideal for decisive photographers who might not have their DSLR to hand. RAW compatibility (NRW) means you’ll always get the best out of the sensor, no matter what your image requirements.
When switching to video, the P7800’s 3” vari-angle monitor really comes into its own allowing users to document a scene from the tightest of angles, or hold the camera at arm’s length and capture a video diary, or self-portrait. Full HD 1080p (25 or 30fps) video resolution with built-in stereo microphone (and external microphone output) place adaptability at the heart of this powerful COOLPIX companion. With Custom Movie mode you can even set the shutter speed, aperture, ISO setting, picture control, manual focus, optical zoom and white balance for creative control. To take full advantage of the camera’s potential; the P7800 is compatible with a full set of accessories including the WU-1a wireless adapter to share images in an instant, or remotely control the camera with a smartphone.
Nicolas Gillet, Product Manager for Consumer Products at Nikon Europe, comments: “The COOLPIX P7800 really pushes the limits of our compact cameras, balancing superb image quality and lightning-quick responsiveness with a very bright, high resolution NIKKOR lens for wonderfully sharp results. The camera’s capabilities make it a leading class COOLPIX with useful features like a vari-angle screen and built-in electronic viewfinder to get the absolute best results in your videography and well as point-and-shoot photography. The manual controls incorporating three user modes, two function buttons and two command dials (rear and front) make it a truly special blend of performance and versatility.”

The Nikon COOLPIX S02 – Good things come in small packages
Discrete enough to carry anywhere, and designed to get people talking, the COOLPIX S02 completes a night out, and complements any style. Capturing the spontaneous moments you really want to remember has never been easier with the cutest member of the Nikon COOLPIX range, sized smaller than a credit card.
A 13 megapixel CMOS sensor, 7.3GB of internal memory and a 3x optical zoom give the charming camera the functions of a larger model while the touch screen and intuitive interface lend the jewellery-like device a seductive build quality. In addition, the camera’s built-in Xenon flash, more powerful and better balanced than an LED light, will illuminate even the darkest of restaurants, bars and nightclubs, leaving your subjects stunned by the images, instead of the flashbulb. If the occasion suits a movie, the S02 records in Full HD so you’ll never miss a trick. Night landscape mode even lets you shoot sharp images at low ISO combining four shots taken at a very fast rate.
High quality, balanced photographs that will document your most precious moments, as well as those that catch you by surprise, are just a click away with the COOLPIX S02. The petite camera packs a 13 megapixel CMOS sensor, Full HD movie and a large 2.7” touch sensitive screen with anti-reflection coating and customisable user interface. Light enough (100g) to hang around your neck at a party; the camera’s metallic body cover makes it a fashion accessory as well as a talking point, available in white, pink, blue and mirror colours.
Nicolas Gillet, Product Manager for Consumer Products at Nikon Europe, comments: “Small, stylish and elegant anywhere the COOLPIX S02 may be the smallest member of the COOLPIX family, but it’s certainly big on design. An essential addition to any palm, purse or handbag, the tiny compact camera combines refined design features like anti-reflection touch screen technology, internal memory and built-in Xenon flash, with 13 megapixel CMOS sensor and easy auto modes to ensure you never miss a moment, or a party invitation.”
