Nikon releases new digital compact lineup

More colours, more control and more camera all around is what Nikon Canada is promising with its introduction today of five new models in its COOLPIX digital compact lineup.
“Nikon Canada continues to advance the COOLPIX lineup of compact
digital cameras with models that offer consumers greater convenience,
sleek designs, stylish colours and more creative options,” said Gregory Flasch, the Mississauga-based company's manager of advertising and communications.
"Our new innovative touch-screen S60 adds a whole new dimension to the fun factor, while our P6000 — the new flagship COOLPIX model — offers camera enthusiasts of all levels an array of personal controls and customizable features.”
The new models also come in bright colours, such as burgundy, purplish black and light blue.
Nikon, which has its head office on Aerowood Rd., says its P6000 offers photographers added control with customizable features inspired by its digital single lens reflex SLR cameras. The "Command" dial and customizable function button let users quickly switch settings, while the shooting menu "provides quick access to regularly-used selections with an efficient new tabbed menu interface."
The latest models will be available from Nikon dealers this fall. Prices have not yet been announced.
