New Nikon Coolpix Adds In-Camera Slideshows with Music

Now there's a stylish, edgy addition to the Nikon COOLPIX S series of digital cameras. The new COOLPIX S5 and S6 combine high-quality imaging performance with new Pictmotion photo sharing technology to make the S5 and S6 a must-have digital camera. Both the S5 and S6 have sleek, slim wave designs, so your cameras look as great as the pictures you take. Each camera boasts 6.0 effective megapixels and features a 3x Zoom-Nikkor ED Glass lens.

With the new COOLPIX digital cameras, Nikon's Exclusive Feature System gives you the power to automatically improve recorded images in-camera. This combination of in-camera features provides a quick, easy and seamless answer to dark pictures, blurry or out-of-focus shots and red eyes. The system includes: Camera Red-Eye Fix that automatically detects and corrects red eye; Face-Priority AF, which automatically finds and focuses on a persons face within the frame; D-Lighting, which selects and creates a copy of images with excessive backlight or insufficient flash illumination, and Blur Warning, which will alert you when a shot has resulted in a blurry picture.

To ensure quality photos in various shooting environments, you have the option of 16 scene modes. Sharing your digital pictures is also made easy, and you can select your favorite images and create an in- camera slide show that looks great and is fun to share with your friends. The COOLPIX S5 and S6 provide quality playback of sound and the bright, sharp expanded 2.5 and 3.0-inch LCD's -- with an impressively wide 170-degree viewing angle -- make it easy for everyone to see.

The S5 has an MSRP of $349.95 and the S6 $449.95. For more information about this and other COOLPIX cameras, please visit www.nikondigital.com.
