History
The Coolpix line was first introduced in 1997 with the Coolpix 100. This camera was a fixed lens, .3 megapixel point-and-shoot and the first of Nikon's consumer digital cameras. Since then, Nikon has produced a new Coolpix model every year, with 2010 models as high as 14 megapixels.

Since its inception in 1997, Coolpix has distinguished itself in the camera industry by offering advanced features for point-and-shoot consumers. These features include advanced image stabilization, in-camera red eye correction and Nikon's electronic VR image stabilization and motion detection programs that help compensate for camera shake.

Each Coolpix camera is unique in its color and shape, giving the consumer an opportunity to purchase a camera that most fits with her personal style.
