Camera System

Resolution and Optics

Effective megapixels

The number of pixels that actually make up the image captured by a digital camera. Images recorded with more effective megapixels will therefore contain a larger amount of image information, resulting in higher-level sharpness.

NIKKOR Lenses

Highly respected by leading professional photographers, NIKKOR lenses are renowned for their outstanding autofocus performance, true-to-life color, high contrast, and exceptional sharpness.

Optical Zoom

COOLPIX cameras offer ample zooming capability. They make it easy to zoom in for tight portraits, for example, or zoom right out to capture expansive landscapes.
