Default NEW Nikon Coolpix coming out SOON!

Pre-PMA 2002: Nikon has started a 14 day countdown to the announcement of its latest Coolpix digital camera. As a part of the build-up Nikon USA are running a 'Guess the slogan' competition which has new clues published on the nikoncoolpix.com website every day. So far we've had two clues: an ice cream cone and a twister. Enter and you could win one of the new cameras!

The other clues are a drill bit, a windy road, a twist of a lemon skin.... hmm. Most of the clues so far have something to do with a "twist".

Could be. Twist LCD/lens. But it could well be another 7xx type.

Default All clues out.

Hi,

All clues are out. So what will it be?

Day 1 : Ice Cream cone with twisted chocolate ice cream (ala Mac)
2 : Tornado (Twister)
3 : A 'twist' of a lemon skin
4 : Windy road
5 : Drill bit and a twisty little shred of metal(?)
6 : Door knob (round type)
7 : Knot in rope
8 : Lemon Soda bottle cap
9 : Plaited dough
10 : DNA
11 : Someone with some sort of plaited hair
12 : Pretzel
13 : Screw with screwdriver

All has to do with twist, turn, round, etc. Another 9xx kind coolpix?

Regards
CK
