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!

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."

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.

Cool Concept: Nikon 360 Degrees Digital Camera

GeekSugar — Tue, 29 May 2007 13:00:00 -0700

Yesterday a bunch of you admitted you love playing around with fun and funky cameras like the colored Lomolitos cameras and the hilarious fisheye lens camera, so when I saw the concept for the Nikon 360 Degrees Digital Camera I knew I wouldn't be the only excited photographer around here. The idea is the camera can take an "unbroken view of an entire surrounding area," (ie panoramic shots).

With most cameras, getting a real panoramic shot means turning 360 degrees, to receive an unbroken view. Based on an ergonomic cylindrical form lens, the Nikon 360 allows you take an all-round picture. It has an angle indicator that provides a gauge on the direction of the rotating head and is also an additional detail to provide the camera with a stronger and steadier feel while in operation. What do you think of the idea?

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.
