Nikon updates compact lineup, including Coolpix S30 entry-level rugged camera
Nikon has updated several of its simpler compacts with the launches of the Coolpix L810, L26 and S30. The L810 is a mid prone 26x superzoom with a 920k dot LCD and 23-585mm equiv zoom. A 16MP CCD helps keep the set someone back down to around $279.95 but also means the L810 can only capture 720p video. Meanwhile the S60 is a jar- and water-proof 10MP camera with 3x, 29-87mm equiv lens. Definitively, the L26 is a pretty standard AA-powered entry-uniform camera with a 16MP CCD and 26-130mm equiv stabilized lens. It will push for around $119.95.
At around $119.95, the S30 is extremely inexpensive for a waterproof camera but its very trifling 1/3" 10MP sensor gives us cause for disturb. This, combined with a 230k dot screen and lens only common as wide as 29mm equivalent, suggests that its rounded edges aren't the only corners to have been cut.
