Nikon is one of the biggest names in digital cameras and offers a wide range of products from the low-cost point-and-shoot digital camera to high-end DSLR cameras that run several thousand dollars each. With a huge product range, Nikon caters to amateur and professional photographers alike.

The firm has unveiled its latest DSLR camera today called the Nikon D3x. The camera boasts a massive 24.5-megapixel sensor. The camera offers an ISO range of ISO 100 to 1600 that is extendable down to ISO 50 and up to ISO 6400. Auto focus uses a 51-point system and the camera has a 3-inch rear LCD.

Here’s an odd one from Nikon, but it’s no camera. The Media Port UP300 and UP300x video headset aims to be a wearable computer. The device basically looks like a pair of headphones with a small display, but has some nice specs. It features up to 8GB of flash memory for videos, music and file storage, Wi-Fi, and even, get this, a full internet browser.

The 300x model, even sports motion control. Browsing may be a challenge, who knows. You can also use the Wi-Fi connection to download audio and video content directly. The 300x will cost you $587. Looks like we are now on our way to becoming the Borg. If the next one requires that you dock yourself in a borg ship, I’m heading for the hills.

Nikon has announced two new Style series cameras that bundle a range of software features that make it easier to take perfect snapshots every time. The 12.1 megapixel S700 ($379.95) and 8.1 megapixel S510 ($299.95, pictured) digital cameras will include Optical Vibration Reduction image stabilization which allows the shooter to take sharp photos even if they are being attacked by a swarm of bees or bouncing on a trampoline.

With VR stabilization your photos can be snapped at shutter speeds up to three times slower than would normally be possible. You can also take better photos in reduced light situations with the cameras higher ISO capabilities, have red-eye correction, compensate for excessive back-lighting or the times your flash isn’t bright enough and with the cameras’ Face-Priority auto focusing feature you can take a photo that will have up to 12 different faces clearly defined in your image.

Today Nikon announced its intention to release a couple of new additions to its LIFE line of digital cameras. Both models are targeting consumers looking for a simple point and shoot model that will take good pictures, despite their photography skills. The COOLPIX L14 and COOLPIX L15 are packed with a nice feature set and differ only slightly in their features.

The L14 has a 2.4-inch LCD and takes 7 megapixel shots while the L15 increases the LCD size by 0.4 inches and the megapixels by 1. Also, the L14 model only boasts the ability to take an unprecedented 1,000 pictures on a single pair of AA batteries since the L15 must be using up more of its power on the bigger LCD and some full-time image stabilization.

Nikon has announced that it will release its new D40x digital camera in April. Replacing the entry-level D40 unit, the D40x will feature 10.2-megapixels of resolution (40% more than its earlier model), a greater sensitivity range (100-1600 ISO), continuous shooting (3 frames per second) and a 3-area AF system.

Measuring 5.0 x 2.5 x 3.7 inches and weighing 1 lb., 1 oz., the D40x has a dedicated help function button, 3D Color Matrix Metering II system and easy to understand graphic user interface. In-camera editing is as easy as pressing the …
