Nikon Announces Four New Coolpix Models

Nikon just unleashed four new Coolpix point-and-shooters with enhancements that include a better engineered touch screen, a built-in LCD projector, and a super-fast start-up time.

My favorite of the bunch is the $400 Coolpix S70, which improves upon last year’s popular S60 in some very significant ways.

This 12.1-megapixel model has a striking, bright 3.5-inch OLED touch screen that pretty much covers the entire back side of the camera (there are no buttons). The touch screen interface is improved from the S60: You can control most all camera functions, including zoom and snapping the shutter. When reviewing photos, simply swipe a finger across the screen to move to the next image or use a pinching motion with two fingers to reduce or enlarge images — an interface that will be immediately familiar to any iPhone user. A new on-screen slider enables you to adjust brightness, which is a simple idea but very cool in action.
