Nikon Adds Three Cameras to COOLPIX Line – P7000, S80 and S8100

Nikon on Wednesday announced three new COOLPIX digital cameras, the P7000, S80 and S8100.

The COOLPIX P700 was made with the photo enthusiast in mind, with features including full manual controls, RAW / NRW capability, 7.1x, 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 NIKKKOR lens and ISO sensitivity from ISO 100 to 6400 (expandable to ISO 12,800 in low noise Night Mode). This 10.1 megapixel camera also has a 3-inch LCD screen and records HD video at 720p at 24 fps with optical zoom and autofocus control.

The Nikon COOLPIX P7000 will be available in late September 2010 for $499.95.
