It's been a year since the last Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition, and since then, the world has gotten a lot smaller. Or a lot bigger. Whichever way things are going, Nikon has collected a whole bunch of spectacular new pictures of it, and we've got a gallery of all of the winners.

Somebody tell the retro-tastic Olympus E-P3 to step aside, because there's a new speed king ready to take the mirrorless camera throne: Nikon's J1 and V1. Nikon's quite possibly the second to last major camera maker to release a mirrorless camera system (Canon has yet to show any interest). The J1 and V1 are a pair of cameras with interchangeable lenses that sit between a high-end point and shoot and a heftier DSLR. Both are built like a tank and fire off shots so fast that you'll never have to double check to see if you captured your desired snap or not.

We told you that glasses-free 3D tech is going to be the new trend. Nikon seems to have gotten the memo. Its latest digital photo frame can convert 2D photos into 3D ones through its online storage service — but would you pay a monthly subscription just for that feature?

The Nikon s1100pj digital camera looks like a standard-issue point and shoot, save one difference: it's got what appears to be a second lens on the front. But that's no normal lens: it's a projector.
