Camera, Audio Recorder, and Messaging Center

The Coolpix 300 ($699) is a new hybrid camera, audio recorder, and message-pad product that Nikon is calling a personal imaging assistant. The camera has an output resolution of 640 by 480 pixels, allows continuous shooting at 1 fps, and stores photos as standard JPEG images. The unit includes 4 MB of internal flash memory, which can store 132 images in standard mode or 66 at high resolution, or 17 minutes of audio in the ADPCM format. The built-in touchscreen/2.5-i nch color LCD allows you to review images instantly without having to upload them to a PC, as well as write messages with a stylus. You can store these messages separately from the photos or merge them into a photo for documentation.
