name of cameras

I see Nikon has come out with a new camera called COOLPIX.. Asked Nikon what that name indicates and was told it

refers to a 'point and shoot' camera.

 

Notice there are many other 'point and shoot' cameras made by Nikon. How come they too are not Coolpix?

 

Sincerely,

I think you may be mistaken. I've owned a Coolpix for many years. A 2500 that's roughly 2Mp. To my knowledge, all P&S from Nikon are called Coolpix. http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Digital-Camera/index.page

Many of them are. Take a look at <a href="http://press.nikonusa.com/cameras/coolpix/">Nikon's coolpix press releases</a> and see if you can count all the coolpix models.

Coolpix is simply a Nikon camera series, specifically a compact non slr point and shoot digital camera. It, as a series, has been around for about 10 years and is by no means new. As I view the Nikon website, it seems all their small point and shoots are called Coolpix and I can't find any indication of cameras of the class, manufactured by Nikon, called something else.

Could you please list some examples.
