It’s been a while since we’ve had a good digital camera teaser campaign, and so we’re glad to see Nikon apparently jumping in to deliver just that. Various French camera sites are reporting receiving glossy cards through the post, with a number on one side and some French text (“I am…” and “I am fun” so far) on the reverse; there’s no mention of Nikon, but the colors match the company’s color-scheme and the recipients are believed to be all Nikon users.
Nikon’s PMA 2010 line-up has gone public, and we’re beginning to wonder whether we missed some memo about super-zoom cameras. Like Fujifilm and Olympus before them, Nikon have pushed out some whopping great zoom lenses this year, with the Nikon Coolpix P100 getting a 26x optical and even pocket-sized point-and-shoots like the Coolpix S8000 packing 10x or more.
Another week come and gone, naturally it is time for the week in review. Monday we pulled the Nokia N900 from its box and videoed the unboxing for your perusal. Those cool Sony Ericsson Satio and Aino are finally hitting stores. The Aino can stream content from a PS3.
Nikon have outed their latest DSLR, the Nikon D3S, described as their FX-format flagship and packing a new CMOS 12.1-megapixel sensor. The D3S can shoot 720p HD video at 30fps and boasts a broad 200 to 12,800 ISO range (extendable to 102,400, in fact). LetsGoDigital have already played with it in the wild, and they’re particularly impressed with the new 51-point AF system and the ability to grab screenshots from video clips as stills, all on-device.

If you're not impressed by the Canon EOS 7D's high-def performance, then how about an 1080p Nikon? According to Nikon Rumors, there's a 99-percent chance that the company will announce the Nikon D3s on October 15th. The new D3s, they claim, will offer not only 1080p Full HD video capture but 14fps continuous still shooting.

Nikon's pico-projector packing Coolpix S1000pj digital camera has finally arrived for sale in the US, priced at $429.95. Expected to begin shipping later this week, the S1000pj manages to squeeze not only a 12.1-megapixel camera with 2.7-inch LCD and 5x optical zoom, but a 10 lumen pico-projector capable of creating up to 40-inch images into a compact chassis.
The weekend is here again fellow geeks and geekettes so I am back with another week in review. Monday more rumors surfaced that has Apple launching that long anticipated tablet device this November. The rumors further claim that the tablet will be aimed at gaming and media use. Early this week Verizon cut the pricing on all its smartphones save a few of the new ones to $99. That makes us think lots of new smartphone hardware is on its way.
Nikon’s Coolpix S1000pj projector-camera may only have got the official nod from the company this morning, but that hasn’t stopped Stuff.TV from going hands-on with the 12.1-megapixel shooter already. They found the S1000pj to be surprisingly good fun, with the VGA quality from the pico-projector making up in communal usability what it lacks in visual fidelity.

Nikon have officially announced its new Coolpix range, including the pico-projector packing S1000pj first spotted yesterday. The Coolpix S1000pj has a 12.1-megapixel sensor, 5x wide-angle optical zoom and EXPEED digital processing as in the company’s DSLR range, but most interesting is the 10 lumen LED integrated projector that can create up to 40-inch VGA-quality picture.
Having only been talking about Nikon’s pico-projector-packing digital camera earlier on today, images of the digicam – plus three other upcoming point-and-shoots – have leaked. The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj is the production version of the VP650 prototype, and packs a compact projector module in the center of its casing.
