DESCRIPTION AND SPECS: Nikon Coolpix P50 and P5100
Two Performance Series Nikon Coolpix cameras

DESCRIPTION: Nikon Coolpix S210 and S520
Two new 8-megapixel Nikon Coolpix cameras
Nikon introduced two new 8-megapixel S-series Coolpix cameras. The US$179 S210's primary claim to fame is its slender, sexy body that's just 0.7 inches thin. It also weighs next to nothing and fits anywhere. Yet, it has a large and razor-sharp 2.5-inch LCD that remains quite readable outdoors thanks to an anti-reflection coating. The design is clean and uncluttered, and the four available colors are quite attractive. The US$229 aluminum-bodied S520 is a bit thicker and heavier. It has active lens shift vibration reduction that eliminates most blur when you zoom and it can be used both for still pictures and for movies.Read review of the Nikon Coolpix S210 and the Nikon Coolpix S520 .
DESCRIPTION: Olympus Stylus 850 SW and 1030 SW
Two new tough and rugged Olympus Stylus models

It's designed for all sorts of outoors activities including skiing and snorkeling. The US$399 10-megapixel Stylus 1030 SW is tougher yet.
