Digital Imaging Cameras: Nikon

  • 10/01/02

Nikon's Coolpix 5700 5-megapixel digital camera features a new 8X Zoom-Nikkor lens with a focal range of 8.9 mm-71.2 mm, which is equivalent to 35 mm-280 mm in the 35 mm format. For even greater magnification, the camera offers 4X digital zoom, taking the focal length to about a 1,132 mm equivalent. And Nikon's advanced image processing algorithm ensures full-color reproduction, while a 256-segment Matrix Metering and Matrix Auto White Balance produce outstanding exposures. The COOLPIX 5700 comes with several user-friendly, advanced features, such as the Electronic ViewFinder, which provides enhanced frame coverage and a bright preview, as well as the Vari-angle LCD, which makes shooting easy regardless of the camera position. When ambient light is insufficient, the intelligent Built-in Speedlight automatically pops up. And checking results is instantaneous with the Quick Review button. In addition, the plug-and-play USB interface lets users send pictures to a computer for easy organization. Nikon Inc., Melville, NY, (631) 547-4200, www.nikon.com.

    Project HUNCH (High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware) gives students the opportunity to design and build products for potential use in space missions. As part of this project, NASA asked the students of Cypress Woods High School to design and build a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that carries a camera and can maneuver around the zero-gravity environment of the International Space Station (ISS) under the direction of ground control. Learn how the students used 3D printing to quickly and inexpensively build functional prototypes to test and improve the functionality of their design. Read more...
