Today, Nikon launched its new camera - the P100. This new camera seems a pleasant surprise for the company's loyal fans.
The camera gives full 1018p video in H.264, at a rate of 120FPS. The device comes with a 10MegaPixel camera and a CMOS sensor for better low-light performance.
Its features include zoom(superzoom actually !) 26x(26mm wideangle or 678mm super telephoto coverage). Though its a bit shorter than its counterparts of Fuji or Olympus which were released in the last two days, but what experts say is that Nikon's flagship point-and-shoot makes them ignorable.
The Nikon P100 is the first of its Coolpix seres to introduce CMOS, reducing lens capacity to 10MegaPixels to improve the device's performance in low light conditions with its bundled HDR processing.
Reportedly its the first camera from Nikon which does a complete 1080p video in H.264. It supports zooming while recording a video. And though it shoots at 10FPS, it can shoot upto 120FPS bursts(that is, when it shoots @ 120FPS). The lens of the camera is the NIKKOR ED.
Fuji's HS10 is theoritically much better than Nikon's P100(we'll have to wait till its available in the market for its on-hands actual usage review). But it costs 100$ than the P100(around $400 when it gets released in March).
Here are some of the additional features of the Coolpix P100
10.3-megapixels and Backside Illumination CMOS Sensor for stunning prints as large as 16x 20 inches, while retaining fine detail
In-Camera High Dynamic Range (HDR) merges multiple images of the same scene to create an image with a range of tonal detail that could not be captured in a single photo
Night Landscape Mode combines a series of images into a reduced noise composite for low light shooting
3.0-inch Vari-Angle 460,000-dot Clear Color Display LCD and Electronic Viewfinder makes it easy to compose and share pictures with friends and family. The new LCD, with anti-reflection coating, can tilt as much as 90 degrees up or 82 degrees down. This enables photographers to shoot from higher angles or from the hip. The incorporation of the an electronic viewfinder enables consumers to see through the lens in most any lighting condition
5-Way Vibration Reduction (VR) Image Stabilization System
Optical VR Image Stabilization by image sensor shift compensates for the effects of camera shake, producing clearer, sharper results in lower lighting or unsteady conditions
Hybrid VR Image Stabilization combines both sensor shift VR and Electronic VR Motion Detection automatically detects moving subjects and adjusts shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement
High ISO 3200 capability creates new opportunities to take sharper, more natural-looking photos in lower light conditions (up to 10 megapixels)
Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically takes up to 10 shots while the user presses the shutter, and saves the sharpest image
Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority and Manual Exposure modes give ultimate creative control over images
New Sport Continuous Scene Mode for shooting at up to 10 fps at full resolution and 120 fps for 1.1-megapixel images
Subject Tracking automatically activates autofocus while tracking moving subjects such as children and animals. Even when the subject momentarily moves out of the LCD frame, the camera will restart tracking if the subject returns in the frame within 3 seconds
Pre-shooting Cache lets users capture up to 40 shots before shutter is released. This setting helps photographers stay ahead of the action
Active D-Lighting minimizes loss of details in highlights and shadows resulting in
beautiful, more natural-looking images
Smart Portrait System integrates the following features to make it a snap to capture stunning portrait photos of friends and family:
In-Camera Red-Eye FixTM automatically fixes most instances of red-eye
Enhanced Face-Priority AF can detect up to 12 faces from a variety of angles
Skin Softening ensures smooth skin tone on the face of subjects by leveraging built-in face-detection technology
Smile Mode automatically detects when a subject smiles and releases the shutter
Blink Warning notifies the user when a subject has blinked in a photo
Blink Proof detects the subject's face and automatically takes a series of sequential shots, then saves the image in which the subject's eyes are open
