Nikon Coolpix S52 and S52c compacts announced
Together with the Coolpix P80 superzoom, Nikon today also announced the Coolpix S52 and S52c compacts. Their main features are:
- 9 megapixel sensor.
- Sensitivity up to ISO 3200.
- Limiting to ISO 800 in auto to avoid high noise pictures. Limiting to ISO 2000 for high sensitivity mode.
- Optical stabiliser.
- 3 inch LCD screen.
- 3x optical zoom, 38-114mm equivalent.
- D-Lighting and red-eye in-camera correction.
The only difference between the S52 and the S52c is that the later includes Wi-Fi functionality to take advantage of Nikon’s myPicturetown, Nikon’s online storage and sharing service. In the US, buying a Nikon S52c will also get you 6 months of T-Mobile Hotspot service, allowing you to email pictures from your camera. It is uncertain what will be offered for European markets, if not sure, specify at the retailer or stick to the cheaper S52.
The S52 will be $250 and the S52c $280. Availability starts in May.
