The Nikon Coolpix S9200 is a 16 megapixel digital camera with a very sensitive, backlit CMOS sensor. Thanks to this sensor, the camera receives more light, resulting in improved image quality. Furthermore, the Nikon Coolpix S9200 is equipped with a Nikkor lens with a powerful 18x optical zoom (25-450mm). Such a zoom range without effective vibration reduction is undesirable, and that is why Nikon has equipped the Coolpix S9200 with VR-vibration reduction with lens-shift, which ensures steady shots. We gave the Nikon Coolpix S9200 a test run for quite a while. Our findings can be read in the following Nikon Coolpix S9200 review. text/html 2012-05-28T10:45:00+01:00 http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/index.html http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/32983/pentax-k30/ <b>Pentax K30 Digital SLR Camera features : </b>The Pentax K30 features the new state-of-the-art SAFOX IXi+ AF sensor module, which assures responsive, high-precision autofocus operation by incorporating a diffraction lens to minimize chromatic aberration in accordance to the characteristics of each individual lens. A dedicated sensor also factors the light source into its calculations at the time of shooting. Additionally, 9 of its 11 focus points have cross-type sensors to capture subjects in sharp focus, while a spotbeam assists the AF system during low light situations. When photographing sport events, the Pentax K30 high-speed burst shooting function comes in handy, allowing users to capture active, fast moving subjects in a series of pictures at a maximum speed of 6fps in JPEG format. text/html 2012-05-27T11:57:00+01:00 http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/index.html http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/32979/nikon-coolpix-s9200-test/ <b>Nikon Coolpix S9200 test photos :</b> The 16 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S9200 is a slim superzoom camera with a Nikkor wide-angle lens. The impressive 18x optical zoom lens produces steady photos and videos thanks to the vibration reduction with lens shift. Further, the Nikon Coolpix S9200 is equipped with a backlit CMOS sensor and an Expeed C2 image processor. Thanks to this combination, the camera delivers clear photos in a great variety of lighting circumstances. For sharp photos, the Nikon Coolpix S9200 uses a fast and accurate 99-point autofocus system. The autofocus is also capable of following subjects, so that you can easily capture children playing in sharp and sensitive shots. text/html 2012-05-27T11:55:00+01:00 http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/index.html http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/32980/nikon-s9200-test/ <b>Nikon Coolpix S9200 test videos :</b> Next to taking high resolution photos, the Nikon Coolpix S9200 can also shoot Full HD video with stereo sound. The Nikon Coolpix S9200 shoots high resolution 1920x1080 pixel videos with a frame rate of 30 frames per second. By means of a special video recording button, you can easily start filming. During the video recording you can pause and continue again, after which the camera makes one video file for a fluid reproduction. The powerful 18x optical zoom with autofocus can also be used while shooting video. Additionally, the vibration reduction with lens-shift is also available in video mode, so that camera shake is automatically countered. text/html 2012-05-26T00:02:00+01:00 http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/index.html http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/32972/nikon-d600/ <b>Nikon D600 Full-Frame SLR camera :</b> Rumors are circulating about a new Full-Frame SLR camera from Nikon. After Nikon announced the <a href="http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/31426/nikond4/" target="_blank"><b><font color="#336699">D4</font></b></a>, <a href="http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/31860/nikon-d800/" target="_blank"><b><font color="#336699">D800</font></b></a> and the <a href="http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/32632/d3200/" target="_blank"><b><font color="#336699">D3200</font></b></a> reflex cameras earlier this year, it seems that a new addition will appear later this year; the Nikon D600. If the speculations are correct, the Nikon D600 will be an entry-level Full-Frame (FX) camera, meaning that the professional photo segment will be expanded at the lower end. If the Nikon D600 DSLR camera really becomes Nikon's cheapest Full-Frame camera, this will undoubtedly have consequences for the less advanced Nikon DX SLR cameras with APS-C sensor. Not to mention about the competition, who will certainly have their plans for a budget full-frame camera as well.
