Nikon has added two new mid-range digital cameras to its COOLPIX line-up, the S610 and S610c which both boast of an effective 10-megapixel CCD camera sensor. Both models offer almost the same details and specs except for the Wi-Fi feature that only the S610c has. The S610c complies with WPS or Wi-Fi Protected Setup which secures internet connectivity to Wi-Fi routers.

Both cameras offer easy operations and a first time feature called Scene Auto Selector which automatically selects portrait, landscape, night setting or close up mode depending on the environment. Aside from this, the S610 and S610c also features Active Child Mode and Smile Mode settings. Design wise, both cameras sport elegant aluminum bodies with sharply-cut contours that makes them attractive to look at as well as easy to handle.

Aside from the Z1015 IS point-and-shoot, Kodak has also announced a new model in its M-series product line, the M1093 IS camera. This relatively cheap camera touts a 10-megapixel sensor with a not-so-impressive 3x optical zoom. But its capability to shoot pictures and capture video in high-definition more than make up for the lack of high numbers in its optical zoom.

Aside from these, the M1093 also features a 3-inch wide-angle LCD screen, image stabilization, smart capture technology, intelligent image processing, MPEG-4 compression for video, high ISO sensitivity, text and sound tagging, multimedia slideshow presentation that you can run on the camera’s LCD and continuous HD video recording at 30fps with sound and on-camera editing.

But the best quality of this camera is its affordable price. You can snag one for yourself at a retail price of $199.95 when it comes out sometime in September.
