Nikon today announced the new D300s digital SLR camera, updating its two-year-old D300 model, and the new D3000 to replace its D40/D60 series as entry-level DSLR.
The 12.3-megapixel Nikon D300s features 720p HD movie capability with autofocus while recording, a faster frame advance rate of 7fps and dual CF and SD memory card slots. The D300S will be available in two kit configurations equipped with either the AFS DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-4.5 VR or the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II. Its body-only price is US $1800, available next month.
The 10-megapixel Nikon D3000, meanwhile, touts a bigger 3-inch LCD screen and an 11-point Multi-CAM 10000 AF module. It will have a retail price of US $600, including an AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens, when it hits stores beginning August 2009.
Nikon also announced two new telephoto lenses: the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 ED VR II and the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II, both featuring Vibration Reduction (VR II) image stabilization.
