The first thing that grabbed our attention in the press photos is its handgrip. Speaking for people with banana fingers, tiny flat compact cameras tend to slip out of our hands.

The Coolpix L810 has a protruding handgrip that big hands can wrap around, and with a side zoom control to let the user get closer to the action.

The L810 sports a CCD image sensor with an effective 16.1 million pixel count, and its 26x optical zoom Nikkor lens covers an extensive range of focal lengths from wide-angle 22.5mm to super telephoto 585mm.

Its new lens-shift vibration reduction (VR) function employs a high-precision optical camera shake compensation to keep your images sharp. It can also be used when recording movies.

The Nikon Coolpix L810 allows use of both Lithium batteries or 'AA' alkaline batteries, which lets you continue to shoot even if you can't plug into a wall socket to charge up the camera.

Its support for Eye-Fi cards means images can be transmitted to computers via a wireless network connection, for immediate backup.



Prices for the Nikon Coolpix L810 will be announced end of next month.
