Release Date: Thursday February 12, 2004
Two new additions to the Nikon Coolpix range
Nikon have announced two additions to its Coolpix consumer line-up; the Coolpix
4200 offering a 4.0 effective megapixels and the Coolpix 5200 which incorporates
a 5.1 effective megapixel CCD. Both cameras feature a newly developed 3x
Zoom-Nikkor lens with a focal range of 7.8 to 23.4mm (equivalent to a 38-114mm
lens in 35mm format). This compact lens unique to both the Coolpix 4200 and the
Coolpix 5200 ensures optimal clarity through the use of a glass ED element and
aspherical elements, resulting in a significant reduction in aberration.
With an elegant aluminium exterior, both cameras feature the stylish grip design
which comes as standard to the Coolpix range. These light weight and compact
cameras feature controls which are conveniently situated on the back of the
camera body, enabling highly intuitive operation and providing easy access to
each camera's 15 Scene modes. Each of these modes enables simplicity for
shooting a variation of subjects, while four modes offer a Scene Assist
function, making shooting easier still.
New to the Nikon Coolpix range, both cameras incorporate automated reduction of
the "red-eye" effect. Advanced Red-eye Reduction is fully integrated into the
Nikon image processing system within the camera and once enabled operates
without the need for any user intervention.
The Coolpix 4200 and the Coolpix 5200 achieve rapid power-up and swift, precise
autofocus, allowing photo opportunities to be seized at any time. The two
cameras also offer high-speed continuous shooting, allowing the user to capture
fast action as it happens. In addition, they both have an easy-to-see GUI,
enabling the user to select desired settings and functions in minimal time, with
minimal effort.
White balance offers a choice of Automatic, Preset and 7 Manual modes. What's
more, it divides the shooting area into segments to determine the most
appropriate setting for the capture of faithful colours. There is also a white
balance bracketing function that takes a series of three shots at different
white balance settings with just a single press of the shutter release button.
The Coolpix 4200 allows high-quality TV-size movies to be recorded at a rate of
15fps, whilst the Coolpix 5200 offers movies with audio, recorded at the smooth
rate of 30fps.
All recorded movies and images can be automatically imported into the included
Nikon PictureProject software, opening up a whole new range of possibilities for
the digital photographer. Enabling organization, editing, and design
capabilities for images in a unified, user-friendly interface, this exciting new
software from Nikon will also allow the addition of new features as the market
evolves.
For storage convenience at any time, both the Coolpix 4200 and the Coolpix 5200
are equipped with approximately 12MB of internal memory, allowing the storage of
a substantial number of shots without the need for an SD memory card.
The two compact digital cameras are compatible with both Li-ion rechargeable
batteries and lithium disposable batteries.
As a result of the high-level specifications, both the Coolpix 4200 and the
Coolpix 5200 achieve prints that can be enlarged up to A4 size whilst still
retaining an admirable level of quality. Printing can also occur without the
need for a PC, by simply connecting the camera to a PictBridge-compatible
printer via the included USB cable.
The Coolpix 4200 will be available from June
The Coolpix 5200 will be available from May
The recommended retail price for both cameras is yet to be confirmed
