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 just launched its new D90 digital SLR, which has been highly anticipated for its ability to let photographers take great shots as well as record HD movie clips with sound. This 12.3-megapixel shooter will be available for around $1,000 for the body only or around $1,300 with an included AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens.

The D90 lets users record HD movie clips (1280 x 720) with sound at up to 24 frames per second. Users can record movie clips onto an inserted SD / SDHC card, created as Motion JPEG AVI files, and play them back on larger screens via HDMI output. Key camera features of this new Nikon camera include a three-inch display, a burst rate of up to 4.5 frames per second, an 11-point auto focus (AF) system tied to scene recognition and face detection technologies, typical battery life offering typically up to 850 shots and a playback function which lets users show their images in either four, nine or 72 thumbnail images.

Among the Nikon cameras announced in the last week, the one perhaps standing out the most is this new flagship Coolpix compact camera. It is the Nikon Coolpix P6000 and you’ll be able to pick one up for around $500.

The Nikon Coolpix P6000 is a 13.5-megapixel shooter which offers up “geo-tagging” capabilities via built-in GPS. With this particular function one can note the “location where their images are captured based on latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates.” This can reportedly then be tied into any software or website that recognizes GPS data, including Nikon’s “my Picturetown” service.

Nikon’s got a number of new cameras it announced this week. One which has some really nice design cues and tech features is the Nikon Coolpix S60, priced at around $350.

The Nikon Coolpix S60 is a 10-megapixel shooter in a compact body form. It sports a 3.5-inch touchscreen LED for controls and digital image display. The touchscreen, in fact, handles all controls, according to Nikon, except for power and shutter release. One example of this is the ability “to lock the autofocus and exposure on a subject by simply touching the corresponding location on the LCD screen.”

Nikon yesterday unveiled a new digital SLR camera targeted towards professional which delivers a little more bang in a smaller form factor. The new Nikon D700 is priced at around $3,000 for the body only.

The Nikon D700 is equipped with a 12.1-effective megapixel Nikon FX-format sensor that measures 23.9 x 36mm, which Nikon says is nearly identical to the size of 35mm film. This camera, which builds upon the D3, incorporates as well a special Nikon image processing system, 51-point auto focus system with special tracking and two shooting modes for framing photos using the camera’s three-inch LCD monitor.

Nikon is showing off its early 2008 load of digital cameras this week and one which is in the spotlight is the Coolpix S600. It is priced at around $300.

The Coolpix S600 is a compact, stylish 10-megapixel shooter available in a black body color. It offers a 4x wide-angle 28-112mm Zoom-NIKKOR lens, technology to compensate for camera shake and ISO abilities up to 3200. Start up time is rated a quick 0.7 seconds, according to Nikon.

The Nikon Coolpix S600 will be available in March. You can get full details after the jump.

Nikon threw out a new digital SLR today with the D60, basically a repeat of the D40X we saw earlier last year with some nice added features. This camera stands out as one of the smallest, most compact SLR models on the market with the same 10.2 megapixel image processor as its predecessor.

Some nice features in the D60 that can’t go unnoticed include the Retouch Menu for in-camera editing of images and the Stop-motion feature that lets you string together a number of still JPEGS to create a stop-motion animation. A fast shooting mode brings the ability to shoot 100 JPEG stills at 3 frames per second, which is pretty fast but still a little behind the 12.2 megapixel Canon Rebel with 3.5 fps.
