PMA 07: Nikon D40x Hands-On

Here’s that Nikon D40x DSLR that’s been bumped up to 10.2 megapixels from its D40 brandmate, with 3fps shooting instead of the 2.5fps of the plain ol’ D40, as well as longer battery life and slightly wider ISO range. https://gizmodo.com/nikon-spruces-up-its-d40-now-the-10-2-megapixel-d40x-241789 But the hands-on experience reveals a lot more, where the Nikon click sound is more…

Nikon Intros Coolpix P5000 Has DSLR Brains, Point and Shoot Sensor

There’s a flurry of Nikon point-and-shoot digital camera releases hitting right now, and the highest-end entry is the 10-megapixel Coolpix P5000. It’s aimed at those who want more control and quality than the cheapest models but are wary of jumping into a digital SLR just yet. We’re intrigued by the P5000’s image processing engine, the…

Nikon S200 and S500 Cams: Start Up and Shoot in an Instant

My favorite feature of the S500 and S200 is the ultra rapid start up time of 0.6 seconds, and .0005 lag between shutter button release and the shot. What’s the math on that? Do other cams come close, or is this a meaningful stat provided by the PR machine? Quick start aside, the 7MP, 3x…

Nikon S50c is a Slick Point and Shoot with WiFi

Nikon follows up its S7c and S9 with the S50c and the S50. Like its predecessors, the 7mp, 3x zoom, optical stabilized cameras are slim, utilizing a periscope styled lens like those premiered in Minolta Dimage cams a long time ago. The lens in the S7c received some scores for being soft focused. These might…

Nikon L-Series Coolpix Tickles Our Low End: 120 Bucks for 5MP

Nikon introduced three additions to its low-end L (“Life”) series, the Coolpix L10, L11 and L12. The lowest end of the bunch is the L10, a 5-megapixel digital camera with a 2-inch LCD viewscreen. It’s cheap, too, even for an entry-level camera. Nikon says the L10’s $119.95 price is equal to buying four disposable cameras…

The NYTimes’ Pogue: Obsessed with Nikon’s Superzoom Lens

While David Pogue, the brain behind the Grey Lady’s tech coverage, is on his geek cruise in the Carribean, he’s had some “close up” time with a Nikon DSLR and a 18-200mm, vibration reducing lens. That’s enough focal range to cover a Macworld Keynote from the thirtieth row back, and also get wide angle closeups…

Nikon D40 DSLR Unboxing and Review: Cheap, Imperfect, Cute as a Button

The D40 is here, and we’ve got an unboxing, and some impressions. If you’ve forgotten, the D40 is Nikon’s latest budget DSLR, and it actually comes in cheaper than what we’d expect. I’d say it nestles in a great little niche, between SLRs and Big Point and Shoots. It’s as small as it is cheap.…

Nikon D40 DSLR is Tiny, 6MP, with 3200 ISO: Eeess Nice

Nikon officially unveiled the D40 today, a new budget DSLR worth your attention. First off, they’ve stopped upping the megapixel count, and have left it alone with a 6MP CCD, which is fine, because I don’t shoot above that anyhow for the web or personal images. Then it has a 3200 ISO rating making for…
