Nikon has today announced 8 new cameras in their COOLPIX range. These include:

• COOLPIX P5100 (replaces P5000)
• COOLPIX S510 (replaces S500)
• COOLPIX S700
• COOLPIX S51c (replaces S50c)
• COOLPIX S51 (replaces S50)
• COOLPIX L15
• COOLPIX L14
• COOLPIX P50

Our picks of the bunch are the S51 for style, P50 as an all-rounder and the L15 if you're on a budget. All cameras offer a minimum of 7.1 megapixels (cutting-edge a year ago) and Zoom-NIKKOR lenses, so image quality will not be an issue!

Original message:
Yep, it's definitely that time of year, with all manufacturer's announcing their new line up. Latest is Nikon, who, having most recently concentrated on the entry-level end of their range, have now updated to top end with the announcement of the D3 and D300 digital SLR cameras and a range of lens to go with them.

Nikon D3 specs:

• 12.1 megapixel resolution
• ISO 200 - 6400 (wow!)
• 9fps continuous shooting at full resolution; 11fps in DX format (5.1 megapixels)
• 36

• Olympus FE270 replaces FE210
• Olympus FE280 replaces FE220
• Olympus MJU 820 replaces MJU760
• Olympus MJU 830 replaces MJU780
• Olympus MJU 795 replaces MJU 770
• Olympus SP560 replaces SP550

There is no replacement for the FE240 at this stage. More information as it becomes available.

Internationally, Olympus have also released the FE290, the MJU 790 and the MJU 1200, but these have no Australian release information at this stage.

The pocket guide, produced by Margaret Brown in association with Media Publishing (www.photoreview.com.au) and Canon, provides easy-to-follow advice on a broad range of topics, from choosing the right equipment to exposure and depth of field. Whilst the guide is produced in association with Canon, most of the information is generic and ideal for new users of digital SLR cameras of any brand.

The guide costs $9.95, but we're giving one away with every purchase of a digital SLR whilst stocks last.

Canon EOS 40D
We reported this some time ago following an accidental release via the Canon HK website, but this time it's real.

• 10.1 megapixel resolution
• 3-inch (7.5cm) LCD screen with live view
• 6.5fps burst rate
• 9-point AF system
• Compact flash memory

Expected Realease Date: 1st September 2007
RRP: $1999 (Body only)

Canon have also announced two new lenses, which we expect to form their standard twin-lens kit for this camera. These are the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS. This will bring the Canon entry-level SLR back in line with the Pentax K10D, K100D Super and Sony Alpha 100 as offering image stabilisation as standard.

Canon PowerShot G9
Canon's new top-of-the-range compact is a worthy dSLR alternative.

• 12.1 megapixel resolution
• 6x optical zoom with image stabilisation (35-210mm equivalent)
• 3-inch (7.5cm), high resolution LCD screen
• Face detection
• Hot shoe for Canon Speedlight

We have it on good authority that the new Nikon D40X twin kit arrived at Nikon this morning (26/3). Stock should be with us by the end of the week so, if you've not done so already, please place your order now. Price $1399.

Update:

We've been given pricing on a twin lens kit for the D40X, including a standard 18-55mm and 55-200mm pair. Pricing on this kit will be under $1400, but that's unfortunately as specific as we can be at this stage. It appears that the single-lens (18-55mm) kit will also be made available, but we have no confirmation of this as yet.

Pre-orders for the Nikon D40X twin lens kit will be available very soon.
