Nikon Coolpix 990 Digital Camera

Pros: 3.34 Megapixels, Swiveling Zoom Lens, Great Feature Set
Cons: A few Minor Compatibility Concerns

My first opportunity to try the Nikon Coolpix 990 was in June of this year, and I was really very excited, since I had heard a lot of good things about this new Nikon Digital Camera. I spent about an hour scanning the manual and getting familiar with...

Pros: Great detail and color
Cons: Pricey, needs bigger memory card, eats batteries

Recently, I decided to retire my trusty Nikon F3hp and go digital. I was tired of buying film and then shelling out big bucks to get the prints professionally done. Typically, I burn through a lot of film each trip, and quickly came to the conclusion...

Pros: Ultra-sharp high res photos, Lots of user
Cons: Batteries drain too quickly, Included Software Sucks

The CoolPix 990 is the best consumer digital camera to date. Having 3 other consumer digital cameras in my collection (Kodak DC260, Kodak DC265, Kodak DC290), I must say that the 990 beats its competition hands down in terms of the quality of the photos...

Pros: Sharp, contrasty lens, 3.34MPixels, neat twist body.
Cons: Limited zoom range, limited to 400ISO, not constant aperture zoom.

For my first digital camera, I wanted something that didn't force me to give up too many of my film camera habits: manual control of focus, aperture and shutter speed, use of external flash, and interchangeable lenses.

On the other hand, I...

Pros: Value, image quality, versatility, zoom, macro
Cons: Battery usage, slow to charge

Although it is now discontinued from Nikon, the Coolpix 900 remains a highly viable candidate in the "under $1000" digital camera arena. Even if you need to get one from a used camera dealer, or an auction site like eBay, don't overlook this...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: expensive

The Coolpix 990 has a sharp 3x zoom lens, rendering 9 Megabyte images from moderate wide-angle to short telephoto with the choice of a quick all-auto shooting mode or a fully customizable auto/manual shooting mode. You can choose between previewing the...

Pros: It's the picture quality stupid.
Cons: Complexity, the manual, no type 2 memory slot and included software

I have both a Nikon 990 and a Canon S20. I bought the S20 and got the 990 as payment for some consulting work. What I really, really would like is a combo of the two. First the S20 advantages:

- very compact,
- has a built-in lens...

Pros: Great pictures, 3.34 megapixels produce great printout up to 8 by 10, Durable, Great interface
Cons: Built in flash is weak (like all point and shoot cameras)

I have been waiting quite some time to buy a digital camera. I figured, like almost everyone else on the planet, that prices would continue to drop and quality would improve as time went on. Eventually I was going to have to "stick my feet in the...

Pros: Excellent Image Quality
Cons: Eats batteries

I had my camera on order from the day pre-orders were being accepted. It arrived a few days ago and I quickly put it through its paces side-by-side my Coolpix 950. As with the 950, the 990 eats batteries. Nikon should supply NiMH batteries with the...

Pros: unrivaled digital image quality
Cons: not for novices

This camera gives seriously advanced photographic performance with unrivaled digital image quality! It has a 3x zoom Nikkor lens with 38mm to 115mm coverage(35mm equivalent), giving clear, sharp images plus 4x stepless digital zoom, and it's very...

Pros: picture quality equivalent to a good 35mm camera
Cons: poor battery life, prone to redeye when using flash

I always wondered when there would come a time when a digital camera would make me give up my trusty old SLR for good. That time has come.

The Coolpix 990 is everything I (a serious amateur) have wanted in a digital camera.

...

Pros: Great LCD screen, rugged, customizable
Cons: Price, supplied CompactFlash card is small

The Nikon Coolpix 990 is a high-end, sophisticated, weird-looking, ruggedly-made, not-for-the-timid digicam that became my entrance into digital photography.

I have used 35mm Nikon cameras for many years, and I'm a big Nikon fan. But that's...

Pros: great pictures, easy to use, pro settings
Cons: crummy case supplied by Nikon, no viewvfinder-lcd

The pictures are breathtaking, but protect your investment by buying a decent case for it! I recently dropped mine, which was inside the flimsy case supplied by Nikon, and it now needs to be sent in for repair (the auto focus isn't working). I'm...

Pros: GREAT picture quality
Cons: Don't lose the manual, you WILL need a larger memory card and rechargable batteries

So, I've written epinions on the Kodak 265 camera and the Epson Stylus Photo 750 printer. I've been using digital cameras for 3 years now, went through the Kodak DC50, DC120, DC260 and most recently the DC265. I am mostly a hobbyist, a lifelong amateur...

Pros: See Writeup
Cons: See Writeup

I am a professional web designer not a professional photographer, but this camera is one of the better cameras I've used. I will explain what I feel are the negatives and positives. You can get the specs from the
other opinions.

I was...
