Nikon Corporation introduces 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 Nikon S520 makes it easier to express individual expression in beautiful fashion. The Nikon 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.

Nikon Coolpix S520 - Camera scene modes
Unique new functions for the Nikon 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.

Nikon Coolpix S520 camera - Aluminum body
The Nikon 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 Nikon Coolpix S520 will be available in a choice of Light Bronze, Urban Black, Purple, Pink, or Magenta body colors.

Nikon S520 - 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.

Nikon Coolpix S520 camera - ISO sensitivity
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.

PMA 2009 - The digital SLR camera market is booming. Compared to last year the DSLR camera sales increased with impressive numbers and it seems the digital SLR camera has become a mass consumer product. New entry level D-SLR cameras with 6 Megapixels surprisingly were welcomed very well by the amateur photographer and it seems that within this segment of the digital camera market the resolution range of 6 - 10 Megapixel fulfils the need of the amateur photographer. Without lenses the digital SLR camera would not be complete and it is for that reason we see a huge number of digital SLR lens introductions appear this year. There are multiple camera manufacturers offering their best own brand solution for its DSLR camera, but there are even more specialized lens manufacturers who offer an impressive number of lens solutions too. Keep your eye on the digital SLR lens section of this PMA 2009 report for the latest introductions!
