15:00 JST: In addition to the announcement of three new Coolpix
digital cameras Nikon has also today announced the 'Macro Cool-light SL-1'
accessory. This ring-light screws onto the standard 28 mm lens thread
of the Coolpix 950, 990, 995 or 4500 or the Coolpix 880, 885 or 775 with
a step down adapter ring. The Cool-light provides a permanent white light
(it's not a flash strobe, but a circle of white LED's). The Cool-light
is especially useful when shooting macros which, on close focusing digital
cameras are invariably difficult to light.
