Camera manufacturing company Nikon has announced a new product called the SB-910. The SB-910 is a flash product that replaces the Speedlight SB-900. Currently it retails for $549.95. The SB-910 has an enhanced operating system and graphic user interface. It has wide zoom range and FX/DX format identification that optimizes zoom settings based on the body of the camera. The SB-910 has a better battery life than the SB-900. It also has an improved LCD and the ability to be used as an on-camera flash. You can use the SB-910 using a wireless commander or remote as well. The press release is below:

Nikon has announced several new cameras: the Coolpix S9100, P300, P500, S6100, S4100, S3100, and L24. Below are some pics and details about the cameras:

The newly released Nikon D7000 DSLR camera has a 16.3 megapixel sensor with 39-point autofocus. The camera also has dual card slots and ISO that is up to 25,600. Not bad for only $1200. The D7000 is a successor to the D90.

The Nikon D3100 has HD video shooting with auto focus. As a matter of fact, this is the world’s first DSLR with 1080p video auto focus. The camera costs $700. The D3100 also has a Guide Mode that has mini tutorials. The D3100 has a CMOS sensor that maxes out at 14.2 megapixels with an 11-point autofocus system. The ISO can go as high as 12,800. [DVICE]

Nikon and Yfrog are teaming up to create a gallery of pictures and videos of the South by Southwest conference.  “In addition to viewing content and posting comments, site visitors and attendees can use yfrog to upload images and videos to the Nikon gallery by using the hashtags “#SXSW” or “#SWSWpics” share content through their own social networks, and follow a real-time Twitter feed on the site,” said Katie Carlson of AtomicPR.

Between Nikon and Yfrog they hired five popular bloggers to post videos with Nikon digital cameras.  These five bloggers include Jeff Pulver, Chris Brogan, Sarah Austin, Marko Slavnic, and Brooklyn Vegan.  The gallery is live at http://www.yfrog.com/Nikon.

Earlier this month it was expected that the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj would be available for purchase in September.  The specs of the camera include 12.1 megapixel resolution, ISO 6400 sensitivity, 5x wide-angle zoom lens, and a five-way VR stabilization. There is also a projector powered by LED that can display a 40″ image for slideshows.

Demand for this product has apparently been so high that the release date has to be postponed.  Now the camera is expected to be available starting October 23.  The S70 and the S570 are expected to arrive on September 19.

A couple of months ago, I switched from a Canon camera to a Nikon Coolpix camera.  I never looked back at Canon after.  Now Nikon has announced that they are adding three new cameras to their Coolpix line of cameras.  The three new cameras are the S70, the S640, and the S570.

The S640 is a 12.2 megapixel with 5x wide optical zoom, 28mm equivalent wide-angle lens, 2.7″ display, and an ultra-fast autofocus system.  The S640 will be available in three colors for $499.

The S570 Coolpix camera is the successor of the S560 Coolpix.  The S570 will have 12 megapixel resolution and will cost $349.

The S70 will be 12.1 megapixel and will include a 3.5″ OLED touchscreen, 5X optical zoom, sensitivity of up to ISO 6400, 3.5″ OLED touchscreen, and 5X optical zoom.  The S70 will retail for $599 and will be available in red, black, or champagne.

All three of these new Coolpix cameras will be available in September.
