Nikon Digital Camera COOLPIX 2100

TOKYO - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX 2100 Digital Camera.

A compact, lightweight digital still camera with 2.0 effective megapixels and a powerful 3x zoom lens, the COOLPIX 2100 is an affordable, friendly and versatile model, even for those who are using a digital camera for the first time. The COOLPIX 2100 is ideal for people who want an easy-to-use digital still camera that offers great image quality, and who are looking to get more fun out of digital photography. The camera's compact body fits easily in a pocket for carry-anywhere portability

Featuring a 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens and 4x digital zoom, the COOLPIX 2100 provides excellent optical performance. Coupled with Nikon's advanced image-processing algorithm, this ensures vibrant color, contrast and clarity in every picture. The camera's 2.0 effective megapixels offer remarkable resolution in printouts up to A4 size.

Shooting is simplified by general-use [AUTO] Mode and 14 [SCENE] Modes, four of which offer a Scene Assistance function for perfectly composed pictures, which allow users to capture the essence of every situation and fully experience the fun of digital photography. The COOLPIX 2100 also features Continuous Shooting Mode and four Movie Modes, including one capable of recording a clip as large as 640 x480 pixels. Users can take up to 15 seconds of smaller-size video in color, B/W or sepia.
In Macro Mode, the camera can shoot as close as 4cm (1.6 in.) from a subject and still get sharply focused shots.

The Small Picture function creates reduced-size pictures that are perfect for e-mailing or Web posting, while the Date imprinting function allows users to date a picture at the time of shooting. Image effects such as B/W, sepia and halo filters extend users' creative options.

The Quick Review button allows images to be viewed right away on the LCD monitor while maintaining live-action viewing. The Transfer function simplifies uploading image data to a computer.

A sister model, the COOLPIX 3100, with 3.2 effective megapixels, will be released in tandem with the COOLPIX 2100.
