Nikon Coolpix cameras are a great investment. But there are so many different types; how do you know which one is best for you? Well, here are a few tips about three series of Nikon Coolpix cameras. These cameras have been sources of great innovation for the digital camera world. Let’s take a look at the Performance series, Style series, and Life series.
The Nikon Coolpix Performance series is shown off by the stellar P100. It features a 10.3 megapixel mega zoom, letting you get up close and personal even when you’re far away. This zoom is showcased on the camera’s fantastic wide-angle lens (which is equivalent to a 26-678mm lens) with up to 26x optical magnification. This gives you a lot of generous leeway when taking a photograph, but the camera is designed for more professional or creative shots.
The Nikon Coolpix Style series is known for having a set of “ultra slim” cameras. The S3000 is the low end, with 12 megapixels on a wide-angle (27-108mm equivalent) lens with up to 4x optical zoom and a 2.7″ LCD viewfinder. The S4000 bumps that LCD screen up to 3″ and maintains the rest of those statistics. The S6000 jumps up to a 14.2 megapixel on a wide-angle (28-196mm equivalent) lens with up to 7x optical zoom, but it drops back down to that 2.7″ LCD viewfinder. So if you have trouble seeing your shot in a small viewfinder, you might want to step on up to the S8000, touted by Nikon as the slimmest camera in its class, sporting a 14.2 megapixel compact mega zoom on a lens capable of of 10x magnification (30-300mm equivalent), with a great 3″ LCD display.
The Nikon Coolpix Life series, the tamest series of the bunch, focuses on ease of use. The L22 is your budget-friendly 12 megapixel on a lens (37-134mm equivalent) capable of 3.6x magnification. The L110 is its high-class sister, with 12.1 megapixels on a wide-angle (28-420mm equivalent) lens capable of 15x magnification and a 3″ LCD viewfinder.
Now that you know more about the series of Nikon Coolpix cameras, you can decide more readily for yourself: do you want one of the powerful Performance series, the stunning Style series, or the leisurely Life series?
