Nikon D40

Show price: S$998

Specs: 126 x 64 x 94mm, 475g, 2.5-inch, card support (Secure Digital, Secure Digital HC).

Nikon Coolpix S51

Show price: S$499
Remarks: This one here is the non-wireless version of the S51c, which isn't here at the show. To make up for it, every purchase of the S51 is packed with the following freebies: One umbrella, an LCD cleaner pad, a mini tripod, one case, a card reader, a screen protector and two 2GB SD cards.

Nikon Coolpix L10

Show price: S$199
Remarks: "Cheap and good." Now that's the mantra of your average bargain hunter and if you don't mind the paltry 5-megapixel sensor, this is for you. Comes with one LCD cleaner pad, a mini tripod, one case, a card reader, a screen protector and two 2GB SD cards.
Specs: 90 x 61 x 26mm, 115g, 3x optical zoom, 2-inch LCD, card support (Secure Digital, Secure Digital HC).

Nikon Coolpix L15

Show price: S$349
Remarks: Think the L10 is low powered for you? The L15 ups it with an 8-megapixel sensor. Comes with one LCD cleaner pad, a mini tripod, one case, a card reader, a screen protector, an umbrella and two 2GB SD cards.
Specs: 91 x 61 x 29.5mm, 125g, 3x optical zoom, 2.8-inch LCD, card support (Secure Digital).

Nikon Coolpix S510

Show price: ~~S$549~~ S$489
Remarks: This is admittedly one of the more stylish Nikon compacts. Grab this 8.1-megapixel cam with the following freebies: One LCD cleaner pad, a mini tripod, one case, a card reader, a screen protector, an umbrella, ~~a S$60 Harvey Norman voucher~~ and two 2GB SD cards.
Weekend updates: Promo now comes with instant S$60 voucher rebate.

Nikon Coolpix P5100

Show price: S$699
Remarks: For a consumer camera experience that's somewhat close to an entry-level dSLR, this is worth considering. Comes with one LCD cleaner pad, a tripod, one case, a card reader, a screen protector, an umbrella and two 2GB SD cards.
Specs: Color (black), 98 x 64.5 x 41mm, 200g, 3.5x optical zoom, ISO (64, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,600, 2,000, 3,200), 2.5-inch LCD, card support (Secure Digital).
