The Nikon Coolpix S52 features Optical VR Image Stabilization technology, which compensates for camera shake as well as ISO capabilities up to 3200, which provides more opportunities to capture fast moving subjects and greater flexibility and clarity when shooting in low-light settings. This new Nikon digital camera also boasts an AUTO ISO control, which automatically selects the optimal sensitivity across a range between ISO 100 and ISO 800, and up to ISO 2000 in High-Sensitivity mode. Providing even more control and freedom in photo taking, the Nikon S52 comes with a 3x Zoom-Nikkor lens designed to capture brilliant detail and vivid colors in every photo and a huge 3.0-inch high-resolution LCD screen allowing easy sharing and viewing of images. Also, the new camera is built on Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image processing system designed to enhance noise reduction and improve the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. Like all cameras in the Coolpix line, the S52 includes Nikon's unique image innovations including enhanced Face-priority AF, which automatically finds and focuses on up to five faces within the frame; In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, which can automatically detect and correct red eye in a photo; and D-Lighting, which compensates for excessive backlight or insufficient flash in images. The Nikon Coolpix S52 features the Pictmotion function which will allow users to combine their favorite movies and photos and create in-camera slide shows with music including songs uploaded from iTunes. The Coolpix S52 further comes packaged with Nikon's exclusive Coolpix Software Suite for organizing, editing and sharing photos. The Nikon S52 is SDHC compatible and utilizes Nikon's ultra-compact EN-EL8 rechargeable Li-ion battery. The Nikon Coolpix S52 will be available in Crimson Red and Midnight Black.
