New Nikon Coolpix Digicams - L10, L11, L12, S50, S50c, S200, S500 and P5000

Just in time for PMA 2007 Nikon has announced a whole bunch of new digcams. Here are some brief details taken from the Nikon Press Release

	Designed with the casual snap-shooter in mind, the Nikon COOLPIX L10, L11 and L12 combine high-quality design and construction with user-friendly features at affordable prices. All three cameras utilize a 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor glass lens, a big, bright LCD and a lightweight, ultra-portable body style. Additionally, each of the new L series cameras boast impressive battery life and a higher light sensitivity, which makes it easy to produce quality shots in low light situations. With generous effective megapixel values of 7.1 for the COOLPIX L12, 6.0 for the COOLPIX L11 and 5.0 for the COOLPIX L10, users have the ability to produce clear, crisp pictures. Additionally, the L12 offers Optical VR Image Stabilization, which overcomes camera shake to produce sharper images.
	Building on the success of the COOLPIX Style Series of digital cameras, Nikon is pleased to introduce the S50 and S50c. These cameras combine enhanced imaging quality and performance with an eye-catching wave surface design. The COOLPIX S50 and the COOLPIX S50c boast 7.2-effective megapixels, a 3x Zoom-Nikkor glass lens and a huge, bright, high resolution 3.0-inch LCD screen. These cameras also utilize an Optical VR Image Stabilization system, ensuring the consumer will be able to capture stunningly sharp images. Furthermore, the COOLPIX S50c also offers the additional benefit of a built in Wireless capability for e-mail and image storage with the COOLPIX CONNECT 2 services.
	Nikon has added two new, stylish, and feature-packed digital cameras to the Nikon COOLPIX Style Series line-up, the S200 and S500. Boasting 7.1 effective megapixels, a 3x Zoom-Nikkor glass lens, VR Image Stabilization technologies, and sleek all-metal bodies, these cameras exude high performance and exquisite design. Both cameras feature new body designs; the S200 is constructed from brushed aluminum while the S500 is crafted in stainless steel. Advanced performance is particularly pronounced in the S500; among compact digital cameras the COOLPIX S500 is fast, with an amazing start up time (0.6 seconds) and a shutter lag, in response priority mode (once the camera has focused), of just 0.005 seconds.
	Nikon is pleased to introduce the COOLPIX P5000 to the Nikon COOLPIX Performance Series of digital cameras. The new COOLPIX P5000 offers advanced functions, ease of operation, and high image quality that is sure to satisfy photo and camera enthusiasts. The P5000 boasts 10-effective megapixels, a 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor glass lens, an optical viewfinder, and an incredible, bright 2.5-inch LCD monitor with anti-reflection coating. The P5000 also incorporates a new advanced image-processing engine, which optimizes low light performance and color reproduction, and Nikon's Optical VR Image Stabilization, which compensates for camera shake to create sharper images.
