In
addition to the updated COOLPIX range yesterday, Nikon also announced the new
Nikon D3300 as well as two new lenses in the Nikkor line. All products can soon be pre-ordered from Digital Camera Warehouse.
Nikon D3300
The
new compact and lightweight D3300 is equipped with a high resolution 24.2
megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor with the optical low-pass filter removed and
the latest EXPEED 4 image processing system to deliver quality images and
video. The D3300 will be a great camera for those individuals who are new to
photography or upgrading from a point-and-shoot camera. Nikon is confident the

AF-S FX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G
This
new 35mm from Nikon is a new FX-format prime lens with a fast maximum aperture
and optics designed for high-megapixel D-SLR’s. Lighter, more compact, and more
affordable than its professional counterpart, Nikon believes the AF-S NIKKOR
35mm f/1.8G is set to become a fast favourite amongst keen photographers who
want to work with a classic 35mm focal length.
The
optical construction consists of 11 elements in 8 groups, and employs one
aspherical lens element and one ED glass element in order to minimise chromatic
aberrations and ensure sharp, contract-rich results.
Autofocus
on this versatile and portable prime lens is smooth, quiet, and swift thanks to
Nikon’s SWM (Silent Wave Motor) technology, and the minimum focus distance of
0.25cm.
Optimised
for Nikon F-format cameras, the AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G is also a great option
for Nikon DX-format photographers seeking a fast lens for capturing classic
images with amazing colour and contrast.
AF-S DX Nikkor18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II
Announced
alongside the Nikon D3300 D-SLR is the new ultra lightweight AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm
f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens. A great first lens, it is perfect for a variety of
situations; the optical design delivers sharp, high-contrast photos and HD
movies.
Nikon’s
Vibration Reduction (VR) system ensures clearer, images than ever before. The
VR technology allows you to shoot at up to four stops faster, without the image-degrading
blur that can be caused by camera shake. The multi-purpose lens renders photos
and HD movies with vivid colour and superb sharpness.
The
optical design of the AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens features
11 elements in eight groups, and an aspherical lens element minimises spherical
aberration and other forms of distortion while ensuring high resolution and
contrast.
The
compact Silent Wave Motor (SVM) technology from Nikon enables quiet, fast, and
accurate autofocus performance, which is a particular advantage when shooting
movies.
Ultra-portable
and versatile the AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II is a true “carry-anywhere”
lens.
