According to Nikon, the “S” in their new S series of cameras represents stylish, slim design with superior performance and lots and lots of zoom. Sounds good to me. But seriously, the S series are Nikon’s tiny cameras that still manage to zoom like crazy and shoot HD video. The S8000 is the pinnacle of more »

Brace yourselves folks, as Nikon just announced eight new digital snappers all bearing the COOLPIX branding. These new Nikon COOLPIX cameras are the S230, S220, S630, S620, L10, L20, L19 and the P90.

When it comes to cameras, there is a great big variety to choose from, from camera phones to point and shoot to those fancy SLRs. It seems like every company is trying to sell you on the fact that you need their model. So, how do you know which one is right for you?

It’s about you

What it boils down to is what you are actually going to be doing with your camera. Are you just going to be taking a few pictures to email to your friends of you guys hanging out in the dorm partying? Do you want one that you can use to take shots of little Johnny playing soccer? Are you into wildlife photography? Do you want one where it does all the work for you, or do you want to have full control over the settings?

There’s plenty more after the break. Gadgetell’s resident photography expert, Jodie Andrefski, lays it all out for you. Plus, get some tips on how to make any of your photos better.

Nikon users get in line. Everyone’s about to get enlightened. A new training video titled “A Hands-on Guide to Creative Lighting” is on its way for Nikonians of all experience levels.

Two very knowledgeable photographers lead the training: Bob Krist and Joe McNally. Both have done work for National Geographic and have a close relationship with Nikon. Both are multi-award winners, authors/photographers of best-selling photography books, and have shot for major magazines and companies. Both men also teach seminars and workshops. It is without question these men know their stuff. Who better to learn from than masters of the craft?

Rumors about Nikon’s next DSLR model, the D90 started surfacing as early as December last year. This was heightened a couple of days ago when leak photos and specs started appearing again. But finally, Nikon has ended all the speculations and announced the D90 with a new feature which some may love while others may not like at all. We’re talking here about the D90′s video function which is a first among DSLR cameras.

The D90′s D-Movie mode function allows for capturing high-definition movie clips at 720p. For some this might be the realization of a long time longing for a DSLR function, while DSLR purists might find this simply unacceptable. At any rate, we all have to accept the fact that from now on, the camera that we used to know is now a hybrid of a point-and-shoot and DSLR cameras.

Supposedly confirmed as of a few days ago, however we are still awaiting official word from Canon on their newest baby, due any day now. Complete specs, (translated from Chinese) are here for the time being. Apparently there had been a big bru-ha-ha when a photo hit the internet apparently taken by the new Canon according to it’s metadata (and the info right on the web page itself), on what many believe to be a Media Temple client page. This being a big oops, since they are a web dev for high profile clients such as Sony, Adobe, ABC and others. The others, in some people’s mind’s, could include Canon. Thus, a page that had Canon photos which was leaked onto the net before it was discovered and subsequently password protected.

The Canon 50D is pictured here with what’s sure to be a kit lens option, the EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. A short list of what is most likely going to be key features is as follows:

Next up in the new Coolpix models which Nikon has recently introduced is the S710 digital camera featuring an effective 14.5-megapixel CCD sensor with 3.6x optical zoom which can cover a wide-angle 28mm.
