TOKYO - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of four new COOLPIX L-series cameras—the L830, L330, L30 and L29—developed with an emphasis on ease of use and functions that make these digital cameras fun to use.

The L830 is equipped with a high-power zoom NIKKOR lens offering 34x optical zoom that covers a broad range of angles of view, from the wide-angle 22.5 mm to 765 mm (equivalent focal lengths in 35mm [135] format). It is very compact, despite also being equipped with a 3-inch, approximately 921k-dot (RGBW) tilting TFT LCD monitor with wide viewing angle that makes shooting from any angle enjoyable.

The L330 is a model that continues the elegant design of L-series cameras. It has a compact body, despite its effective pixel count of 20.2-million pixels and a 26x optical zoom NIKKOR lens that makes shooting of a wide variety of scenes, from wide-angle to telephoto, possible.

The L30 and L29 are compact digital cameras that make shooting easy with intuitive operation. Both models are equipped with a 5x optical zoom NIKKOR lens and, the L30 offers a high effective pixel count of 20.1-million pixels, and the L29 16.1-million pixels.

All four models, the L830, L330, L30 and L29, are powered by AA batteries readily available almost anywhere.

L830 Primary Features

1. A 34x optical zoom NIKKOR lens that covers a broad range of angles of view, from the wide-angle 22.5 mm to 765 mm (equivalent focal lengths in 35mm [135] format) in a compact body

Despite being equipped with a 34x optical zoom NIKKOR lens that covers a broad range of angles of view, from the wide-angle 22.5 mm to super-telephoto 765 mm (both equivalent focal lengths in 35mm [135] format), the L830 has a very compact body measuring approximately 111 x 75.8 x 91.2 mm* (W x H x D). In addition, it is equipped with Dynamic Fine Zoom, which enables 68x zoom with which resolution is preserved throughout the digital zoom range.

*Excluding protrusions.

2. 3-in., approximately 921k-dot (RGBW) tilting TFT LCD monitor with wide viewing angle that makes shooting from any angle enjoyable

The camera is equipped with a tilting monitor that supports shooting from a wide variety of angles. The high-resolution, approximately 921k-dot TFT LCD monitor offers a clear and vivid display.

3. Movie recording with 5-axis vibration reduction function

In addition to the lens-shift and electronic vibration reduction functions available for capturing still images, the L830 is equipped with a new five-axis vibration reduction function that combines lens-shift vibration reduction with electronic vibration reduction for movie recording. *Lens-shift vibration reduction compensates for camera shake with which the camera tilts slightly to the left and right, or forward and back. Electronic vibration reduction compensates for camera shake with which the camera moves slightly to the left and right, up and down, or in a somewhat circular motion up and down and left and right. This function, which combines compensation for all of these types of camera shake, enables effective vibration reduction under a wider variety of circumstances. In addition, 1920 x 1080/60i movies with stereo sound and superior picture quality, made possible with the suppression of blur caused by camera shake or subject movement, can easily be recorded by simply pressing the camera's movie-record button.

*5-axis vibration reduction is available with movie recording only.

4. A more elegant design and form that is easier to use

The L830 continues the elegant design of popular high-power zoom L-series cameras, but sharper edges express a more precise and innovative image. A grip that offers a more steady hold and improvements to the position, angle, and shape of the shutter-release button for better operation have resulted in a form that makes the camera even easier to use. It is also equipped with a side zoom control convenient for movie recording. The camera is available in 3 colors: black, red, and plum.

5. Support for AA batteries

The L830 can be powered by AA alkaline batteries that are easily replaced when out and about or on vacation, AA rechargeable Ni-MH (EN-MH2) batteries that can be used over and over, or lightweight, high-capacity AA lithium batteries, which support capture of more than 1,000* photos.
