N IKON D IGITAL C AMERA
As digital technology continues to leap forward, some stand by and watch while others take the lead and shape the future.
As one of the few companies capable of mastering and guiding these new developments, Nikon has challenged the present and realized the future in the form of the new COOLPIX 5400.
The COOLPIX 5400’s 5.1 effective megapixels deliver outstanding image quality. But the true beauty of this digital
compact is found in the carefully selected suite of advanced photographic functions, features and capabilities that are the
trademark of Nikon digital imaging products. The COOLPIX 5400 has been designed to help you to capture all of the images
you see around you and those you’ve yet to imagine — faithfully, in luminous color and striking clarity and detail. The
newest COOLPIX has been conceived to serve the fundamental aspiration of digital photography — to capture your unique
vision of the world and deliver it faithfully into the vast creative arena of digital imaging.
Grab a COOLPIX 5400 and prepare your senses for the journey of a lifetime.
Our technological innovation is your
new photographic sensation.
Attaching Nikon’s SB-80DX to the
COOLPIX 5400 and bouncing the light from
the flash off of a wall (right) instead of illuminating the subject directly made it possible to preserve the soft, natural feeling of
the scene.
