Nikon has scheduled to launch at least four new cameras next week, some sources indicate.

The P100 would be the first Nikon camera sporting a back-illuminated sensor which gives much improved performance when working in low light. It is meant to replace the P90 ultrazoom and have a long-ranged 26× lens.

The S3000 and S8000, two designer models, have fewer details given. The S8000 is expected to be the thinnest camera with a 10× lens and would support high definition video. As for the S3000, it would be the low-end device of the series, but it is not certain what it could drop. The Nikon L110 will be the new entry compact camera of the range.

Despite some rumours of a D700 or D90 sequel, interesting accessories would be provided for professionals. Extreme wide-angle shots would be supplied by the 24mm f1.4 prime lens. Wide-angle zoom would be provided by the 16-35mm f4G ED-VR lens. The TC-14E III and the TC-17E III are teleconverters are scheduled but their features are not entirely known.

All these cameras would be shown in early February at a press conference on the 3rd of the month and this does not prevent any unveiling between that moment and PMA.
