Nikon’s new professional DSLR, the D3s, is going to get HD video recording amongst other new features.

Nikon seems to be on a roll with new releases, and while the Coolpix line may not be your cup of tea, you have to tip your hat to one of the wildest innovations a point and shoot has seen in quite some time.

Nikon has announced its latest entry into the DSLR market with the D300s, and it does add some new features that DSLR fans have been clamoring for.

After months of rumors, leaked pictures, and photographer’s dreams, Nikon has officially announced the Nikon D5000. The 12.3-megapixel DSLR is capable of shooting 720p high definition video clips at 24fps, and has a vari-angle LCD monitor that can be rotated, swiveled out, and adjusted to meet the needs of a particular shot.

Nikon has announced three new L-series cameras. The L100, L20m and L19 are designed for customers who are one a budget, but still want a quality camera. All three cameras have scene auto selector, which helps you select the correct scene setting for the shooting conditions you’re working under, and smile and blink warning to make sure the shot you take is the shot you want.

Nikon has introduced four new S-series Coolpix ultra-compact cameras. The S630,S620, S230, and S220 are all pocket sized cameras “designed with one thing in mind: to offer users ultimate style, speed and simplicity in a compact camera body.” Here’s a rundown of what each model has to offer:

Nikon has announced the 12.1-megapixel P90 digital camera. The new ultra-zoom bridge camera has an astounding 24x wide angle optical zoom, and is designed for users who want a Nikon-quality camera, but also a camera that they can carry around in their pocket with them.

Photo District News has announced their picks for “Photography Gear of the Year.” The site has made some picks for the camera of the year as well as the lens, printer, computer, laptop, storage device, and monitor of the year for professional photographers. While most of these items are out of the price range (and the needs) of amateur photographers and consumers, it’s interesting to see what earned top honors.

Nikon has announced the Nikon D3X, a pro-level camera that puts a full-frame 24.5 megapixel sensor in the body of the Nikon D3. The result is a camera with double the resolution of the traditional D3 and the same rugged body that we’ve come to know and love.
