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.

The Panasonic Lumix DC-G100 (G110 in some regions) is a mirrorless camera designed for vlogging. Its 20MP Four Thirds sensor is paired with clever tracking audio technology, but we have our reservations.
The Olympus PEN E-PL10 is the latest in the company's entry-level mirrorless line-up. It's a beginner-friendly camera that does many things well, but ultimately doesn't stand out amongst its competition.
The Nikon Coolpix P950 is a powerful superzoom compact camera, built around a 24-2000mm equivalent zoom lens. Successor to the popular P900, the P950 adds an improved EVF, Raw capture and 4K video. So is it worth $800?
The Fujifilm X-T4 brings image stabilization, faster shooting and a bigger battery to the X-T series. It's not without its shortcomings but we found it to be an excellent stills and video shooter.
With its unusual form factor can the Tourbox aid the editing process? Will its price and variety of tactile controls appeal to photo and video editors who would like to streamline their workflow?
