Nikon COOLPIX S520
Elegant design, quality finish and unique advanced functions take the effort out of taking beautiful pictures
January 29, 2008, Tokyo — Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX S520, a stylish new camera that pushes the level of photographic performance, operating ease and design elegance to new heights.
Built on a custom application of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital
image processing concept and incorporating the precision optics of a
NIKKOR lens, the COOLPIX S520 makes it easier to express individual
expression in beautiful fashion.
The COOLPIX S520 offers 8.0 effective megapixels of sharp resolution,
quick response, and maintains image quality and clarity with
sensitivity settings as high as ISO 2000. It also includes the clarity
and precision of a 3x Zoom-NIKKOR lens featuring Nikon's optical lens
shift VR image stabilization.
Unique new functions for the COOLPIX S520 provide easier ways to
express the scene and organize results. Food mode is a new scene mode
selection enabling beautiful close-ups of food at high ISO settings in
restaurants and other locations where flash photography is not
permitted. Another new feature allows users to select their favorite
three of the 16 available scene modes to appear in the Mode menu for
easier access. Easy in-camera image organization allows favorite
pictures to be saved to individual albums. And new viewing options
include Face Zoom-in, which allows quick zooming in on and switching
between faces during playback, to ensure that all subjects in the frame
are captured clearly.
The COOLPIX S520 is housed in a quality-crafted aluminum body that fits
comfortably in the hand. From the hairline treatment on the face to the
clean design of the back and cable connectors hidden along the bottom,
the compact body conveys functional beauty and classic camera appeal.
The COOLPIX S520 will be available in a choice of Light Bronze, Urban
Black, Purple, Pink, or Magenta body colors*.
*Color availability may vary according to region.
Note: Specifications, design, product name, standard accessories, and release schedule may differ by country or area.
Nikon COOLPIX S520 Feature Highlights
Proven lens shift VR image stabilization
Optical lens shift VR (Vibration Reduction) is field proven technology
originally developed for Nikon SLR camera lenses. The VR system
counteracts camera shake in lower light or when shooting moving
subjects, providing the ability to shoot at shutter speeds as much as
three steps slower without blurring the picture. Active full time, VR
also stabilizes images displayed on the 2.5-inch high-resolution LCD
monitor for easier framing and more reassured shooting.
ISO 2000 capability provides extended shooting range
Extended light sensitivity range with manual settings up to ISO 2000
makes it easier to take great-looking pictures in lower lighting
conditions, or to capture moving subjects with outstanding clarity.
Automatic sensitivity control is also available, freeing you to
concentrate on the shot while the camera selects the optimal setting
across a range between ISO 64 and ISO 1600. And the image processing
engine preserves high image quality even when shooting with high ISO
settings, thanks to enhanced noise reduction and an improved
signal-to-noise ratio.
Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor for quality viewing and menu operation
The COOLPIX S520 has a high quality 2.5-inch LCD monitor with
anti-reflection coating for better display in bright situations.
Improved shooting displays with revised icons and information feedback
help make framing and shooting easier.
