Some weeks ago we were able to have a quick first look at the new Nikon products that are announced today. The new Coolpix 4800 is an entry-level digital compact camera with serious features like a 8.3x optical Zoom-Nikkor ED glass lens. This new model is a combination of easy-to-use operations, fun and flexibility resulting into a high-quality 4 Megapixel resolution. One of the interesting features of the Coolpix 4800 is its powerful and versatile 8.3x optical zoom lens. The Zoom-Nikkor ED lens offers a focal range of 36-300mm (equiv. to 35mm camera) and operates in a fast 1.3-seconds across its entire range. This lens enables enthusiastic users all kinds of compositions ranging from wide-angle to close telephoto scenes.
Nikon Telephoto Converter TC-E3PF

Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the TC-E3PF - an advanced new 3x telephoto converter born of unique Nikon technology for use with the new 8-megapixel Coolpix 8400. Smaller and lighter, the TC-E3PF illustrates how Nikon is taking existing lenses and redesigning them for "on-the-go" convenience. Furthermore, the widely acclaimed TC-E3ED is also compatible with the Coolpix 8400. In conventional telephoto converters, a lens with a pronounced convex shape is used to refract the light received through the first element to a greater degree. This results in the desired reproduction ratio, however chromatic aberration can occur. In the event that a convex ED lens is used, such chromatic aberration is corrected, however the refractive limitations of such a lens make it difficult to reduce overall dimensions.
