Nikon wants to go straight into the avant-garde line with the new video headset called Media Port UP. On top of the unusual characteristic of being a “wearable” device, the headset has a small display that you can use to view videos or other data.

The multimedia Nikon Media Port UP has a hard-drive with 4GB or 8GB depending on the model, and the battery lasts 2 hours when watching a video without interruption, or close to 5 hours when listening to audio content. While using this headset you might look like a cyborg, but that is only a small price to play for what you can achieve with it.

Thanks to motion sensors that replace your hands, the only operation needed to get some kind of action is moving your head in a direction: up, down, left, and right. The Media Port UP includes Wi-Fi, a battery that can be easily recharged, and costs approximately $600. Sadly it is only available in Japan.

The Nikon Coolpix P6000 is a camera which knows GPS and geotagging besides taking photos. And it will surely shoot some decent photos at 13.5 megapixels wouldn’t you say?

Pictures will be embedded with altitude, longitude and latitude which will let you geotag pictures with a third party program. There’s also a LAN port which will let you quickly transfer photos to myPicturetown or your computer.

Here are some of Nikon’s Coolpix P6000 features:

• 4X wide angle lens
• 2.7-inch LCD
• Optical viewfinder
• Optical image stabilization
• ISO 64-6400 (Auto ISO up to 1600)
• Pop-up flash
• Nikon’s Best Shot Selector
• SD/SDHC support

The camera will cost you just $499 when it arrives, but it’s certainly worth it.

Nikon tapped into the “appeal” of PUNK’D host Ashton Kutcher to promote its COOLPIX camera line. The endorsement deal with Nikon would cover both print and TV advertisements, as well as interactive online component. Nikon’s ad campaign has a theme which centers around fashionable colors, great performance, simplicity, and exquisite styling. Nikon chose trendy and upscale boutiques and shopping destinations for the backdrop of the ads, hoping to superimpose yet blend the COOLPIX cameras with their surroundings.
