Ashton Kutcher Is Playing It Cool For Coolpix Cameras

GeekSugar — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 09:01:02 -0700

I swear celebrities get all the fun tech gigs. This week alone we've gotten to see Cameron Diaz showing off the goods for SoftBank Mobile, and now Ashton Kutcher strutting his stuff in TV ads promoting Nikon CoolPix cameras. Launched on Tuesday nationwide was the latest Nikon commercial with Kutcher getting his "raisin-colored" S550 CoolPix passed around by a slew of beautiful women - odd much?! Scroll down to see what Ashton has to say about his partnership with Nikon.

"I am thrilled to work with Nikon on this campaign," said Kutcher. "I think technology today represents so much more than just function – it represents personal style and sophistication. I’m enjoying the opportunity to work with such a well respected brand and a group of highly creative individuals on a campaign that showcases the style, design and simplicity of the new CoolPix cameras."

Cool Capture Reader Entry: A Coolpix View of the Bay

Geek Community — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 10:10:46 -0800

Reader sissysugar recently added some shots to the Cool Capture group in the GeekSugar Community:

I snapped this pretty picture of the Golden Gate Bridge and bay with my Nikon Coolpix S200. I love the camera because it takes good pictures and is light and fits in my bag, but I'm ready to graduate to an SLR for more advanced options. I don't really have any special technique. I just love taking pictures and capturing moments that make me feel something.

Do you have a photo you absolutely love? Join our Cool Capture group and share your image, the model of camera used to take the photo, and a little about the image or moment you captured and it could be featured on GeekSugar.

GeekSugar — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 13:00:25 -0700

Okay, before you get all jazzed about Nikon's latest Coolpix S51c with Wi-Fi, let me forewarn you that the Wi-Fi seems to only work with Nikon's new 'My Picturetown' application - still, imagine how cool it would be if you could send pics via Wi-Fi elsewhere? This hot pink cam, which was featured on Engadget, comes with 8.1 megapixels, a 3-inch LCD and an optical lens shift vibration reduction. Price is approximately $407, or $51 less if you don't get the Wi-Fi feature.

De-Coding the Fashion Camera

GeekSugar — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 09:00:56 -0700

We've all seen the shiny candy colored cameras lined up at your local electronic stores' display shelves, ripe for the picking. Those colors! I know what you're thinking: It would match perfectly with my bag/shoes/iPod/insert accessory here. But what are these cameras made up of, other than flashy and oh-so-tempting exteriors? We'll divide and conquer five different models, learning the pros and cons of each so you get the camera you'll love and one that fits your needs too. Plus, explain what all the techie jargon means, so you can actually have a convo with the sales guy, and not just look like a deer in the headlights. Keep in mind, all of these beauties have at least 8-megapixels for super clear prints, as well as 3x optical zoom when you're ready for your close ups!

Ashton Kutcher Pimps Out the Nikon D90 D-SLR

GeekSugar — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:02:18 -0700

Who better to showcase Nikon's fancy new camera, the D90 D-SLR ($1,000) than their sexy spokesman Ashton Kutcher - who we've previously spotted with the Nikon Coolpix compact cam. The D90 is raising a lot of eyebrows since it's the first D-SLR in the entire world to shoot HD video in three different motion JPEG formats: 320-x-216 pixels, 640-x-424 pixels, and 1,280-x-720 pixels. And with 12.3-megapixel image quality, in-camera editing that allows you to straighten, reduce red eye, or add Fisheye effects and more, the D90 lives up to all of its expectations. Check out Kutcher with the cam below!

Eva Longoria and Tony Parker Capture The Moment

GeekSugar — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 08:08:24 -0800

The paparazzi may have been busy snapping away at the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, but by the looks of it, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker were just as busy with their own fancy schmancy digital cam. Maybe Eva was taking pictures of her fellow Desperate Housewives co-stars or better yet, sneaking some racy pictures of other celebs at this star studded event. This camera definitely looks like a COOLPIX S7c by Nikon.
This styling camera lets you email pictures directly from the camera and is slim enough to slip right into your shirt pocket or purse! To learn more about this camera and for purchasing info click Nikon Coolpix S7c.

GeekSugar — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 07:00:29 -0800

With 72 votes, geeksugar readers selected Nikon's Coolpix Camera as their favorite unique camera of 2007! What's not to like about this camera? With image stabilization, in camera slideshow technology that you can pair with music and a high iso for better pictures in low light, it is certainly a chic high-tech compact camera. The best feature would have to be its built-in wifi that allows access to Nikon's "my Picturetown", making it easy to transfer and upload pics to your computer. No wonder it beat the Lomo cameras in this category!

What Was Your Favorite Unique Camera of 2007?

GeekSugar — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 11:25:52 -0800

Photography is about personal expression, creativity, and capturing memorable moments on camera. For others it is about being artistic, having fun, and experimenting with wacky and wild cameras. This year we saw our fair share of unique cameras including the Red Oktomat Camera, which has eight small lenses that fire and turn in 2.5 seconds to create a multiframe, miniphoto vignette, the crazy Holga K202 Cat Camera that produces digitized meows to lure in unsuspecting cats for a quick snapshot, the Lomo Colorsplash Camera that uses tinted flash filters and long-exposure settings to create dreamy-streaked, retro-style images and last but not least (and less wacky), Nikon's Coolpix Cam, one of the first cameras to include WiFi technology. Which one did you like the most?
