Nikon Coolpix P510 arrives in London, we go hands-on (video)
You may have heard that Nikon's revealed a few -- well, a lot of -- new cameras this week. Fortunately it wasn't long until we were able to get to grips with some of the more interesting models. Unfortunately both the super-zooming Coolpix P510 (seen here) and the super-zooming P310 arrived sans battery, unwilling to be coaxed into working, but more than happy to show off how the finished unit would feel in the hand. We were able to get a hardware tour from Nikon's James Loader, who gave us a brief overview of the new Coolpix P series and talked up how that 42x zoom interacts with that 16.1-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor. You'll find that right after the gallery, alongside our own impressions on the hardware. We hope to grab a working sample ahead of the bridge camera's March 22nd launch, priced at £400 ($630) in the UK.Update: We've corrected the pricing. As previously reported, the camera will reach US shores at a more wallet-friendly $430.
Nikon unveils Coolpix P510 42x superzoom, P310 with f/1.8 lens
This evening's Nikon post is presented in partnership with the letter P. The Coolpix P-series welcomed a new pair today, with point-and-shoots that "pack a potent punch... and powerful performance" -- and a plentiful portion of P, as you'll notice in the press release past the break. The Coolpix P510 "breaks the zoom barrier" with a 42x 24-1000mm optically stabilized lens. It features a 16.1 megapixel BSI (backside illuminated) CMOS sensor, a 921k-dot 3-inch vari-angle LCD, can shoot 1080p HD video with stereo sound and supports ISO 100-3200 shooting with Hi1 (ISO 6400) and Hi2 (ISO 12800, monochrome) options. GPS functionality is also included, with support for tracking and photo geotagging.Those of you seeking a more-pocketable P-series may want to consider the Coolpix P310, which offers the same 16.1 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, a 921k-pixel 3-inch LCD, a native sensitivity range of ISO 100-3200 (Hi1 of ISO 6400) and a 4.2x 24-100mm f/1.8 (maximum) optically stabilized zoom lens. As Nikon's high-end pocketable model, the P310 offers advanced exposure modes, including program, shutter- and aperture-priority, along with a full manual mode. There's also 1080/30p video capture with stereo sound and in-camera editing. Both cameras will be available in February, with the Coolpix P510 shipping in black and red for $430 and the black-only P310 running you $330. Oh, and don't forget about that plenary P-PR past the break.
LG Xnote P510 laptop hands-on
We felt a bit out of place when waltzing into LG's very business like booth, and while we were absolutely devoid of suit and tie, we weren't unappreciative of all the beauty seen here on the Xnote P510. First spotted just under a month ago, this here lappie is an immediate eye-catcher in person. The entire palm rest of made of a rubberized material (trackpad included), and there's even a vibration function to provide noticeable feedback in the pad if you're into that sort of thing. The build was sturdy, the keys were delightful to touch and the flush trackpad was simply luscious. In case you couldn't tell, we were nearly booted from the booth from drooling all over the demo unit. We still couldn't pry out a price, but we overheard one of those aforementioned suits bragging to his buddy that he'd have one "next month." Grab a tissue and jump down to the gallery below.%Gallery-46704%
LG Xnote P510 laptop dresses up for its debut
LG has made plenty of attempts to make its Xnote line stand out from the pack in the past, and it looks like its new P510 model is no exception, with it boasting a textured exterior, a rubber keyboard, and apparently even a bit of haptic feedback on the power button and some other controls. LG doesn't seem to be skimping when it comes to specs either, which include an LED-backlit, 15.4-inch 1,440 x 900 display, NVIDIA's new GeForce GT130M graphics, 2GB or 4GB of RAM, and your choice of three suitably high-end Core 2 Duo processors, not to mention both a 64GB SSD drive and 500GB hard drive on the top-end P510-UP98K model. No word on pricing or a release date just yet, but you can get a closer look at it by checking out the video after the break.[Via SlashGear]
