"Nikon today unveiled their 2006 line up of CoolPix digital cameras. These seven new cameras, which range in price from $149.95 to $449.95, should all appear in stores at various times between now and the end of March. These new CoolPix cameras, said Nikon, all sport in-camera features such as red-eye fix and blur warning to help improve recorded images. In addition, all can record movies at up to 30fps with sound and offer a broad choice of white balance selections. The lower end of the 2006 CoolPix line up consists of the six-megapixel L2 ($249.95), 5.1-megapixel L3 ($199.95) and four-megapixel L4 ($149.95). Features in common across these digital cameras include a 3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens, a 2” LCD, less than 1” of thickness and a choice of 15 scene modes."

Not to be outdone by Canon's various announcements, Nikon has announced a large array of updates to their Coolpix series. We now have the option of choosing between seven different cameras, the cheapest of which costs a mere $150 and they all apear to be quite powerful, especially given the price points. I guess the reviews will ultimately tell whether they are worth the upgrade.
