Tokyo - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX 2200 Digital Camera, a lightweight new digital camera with slim dimensions, 2.0-megapixel performance, and surprisingly simple operation.
Comfort begins with the same successful grip design as the COOLPIX 2100 and COOLPIX 3100 for a natural feel in the hand that instills a sense of confidence. Smooth operation is made possible with an enhanced Graphic User Interface (GUI), which displays easy-to-see menus on a bright 1.6-in. TFT LCD monitor. Furthermore, all controls are placed on the back of the camera for convenient access.
The COOLPIX 2200 even has the advantage of 14.5MB of internal memory. This allows the user to shoot pictures when there's no SD memory card inserted, or copy shots between the internal memory and SD cards as desired.
Like all other models in the popular COOLPIX series, the COOLPIX 2200 has been designed to make things simple for the user and to allow increased versatility without compromising the fun of the moment. In line with this it features 15 handy Scene modes, four of which offer a Scene Assistance function. These do away with most of the preparation when shooting in common situations, achieving quality results when taking shots that range from sunsets to fireworks, to portraits. Users can also enjoy recording movies, preserving special moments in a much more expressive way.
With a high-quality 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens and 4x digital zoom, the COOLPIX 2200 gives users a high degree of control over the way they compose their shots. The COOLPIX 2200 makes it easy for the user to zoom in close on a single subject or person, zoom out to take group shots, and even use the handy Macro mode which can be used as close as 4cm so that small objects can fill the frame. However you compose, you'll find the COOLPIX 2200 achieves vibrant colors, faithful contrast, and impressive clarity - all made possible by Nikon's advanced image processing algorithms.
A range of other features make shooting more fun. Five Color options comprising Standard color, Vivid color, Black-and-white, Sepia, and Cyanotype can be used to achieve creative results. A useful Blur Warning function alerts users of shots compromised by camera shake, giving them the choice to record them or not. The COOLPIX 2200 is also compatible with a wide range of rechargeable and disposable batteries, including alkaline batteries, which are easy to find. There's even an AC adapter too, which is available as a handy option.
The COOLPIX 3200, a 3.2-megapixel sister model to the COOLPIX 2200, will also be released at the same time.
Note: Specifications, design, product name and standard accessories may differ by country or area.
The COOLPIX 2200 inherits the same grip design as the COOLPIX 2100 and COOLPIX 3100, which enables a steady grip with a natural sense of comfort. Further augmenting this comfort are the camera's overall slim dimensions and surprisingly light weight. To allow easy access to the variety of convenient functions, all mode dials and controls are located on the back of the camera, while a larger, clear LCD (1.6-in., 80,000-dot TFT) makes for easy composition and pleasing playback.
With 2.0 effective megapixels and a 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens, the COOLPIX 2200 achieves consistently high quality and gives the user a satisfying degree of compositional freedom.
With 14.5MB of internal storage memory, the COOLPIX 2200 allows the user to take shots at any time, even when not carrying compatible memory media, and enables the copying of shots between the internal memory and SD cards as desired. It's also compatible with a wide range of rechargeable and disposable batteries, including alkaline batteries which can be easily purchased virtually anywhere. Furthermore, a waterproof case is available as an exciting option*, allowing the user to push the limits of their digital photography by shooting in the rain, in the snow, or even when scuba diving to depths of up to 40m.
