Nikon Coolpix 990 Digital Camera

Pros: So easy to use it's scary
Cons: expensive

I'm writing this from the point of a Mac user (which I am), so I don't know if it's the same for a Windows user....

It's SO easy:
1) Point, zoom in/out, and click.
2) Repeat until you've filled up the memory or taken all the pictures...

Pros: lens swivels for desired shots, produces high quality images
Cons: expensive

Nikon Coolpix 990 is an expensive camera. It has a rugged construction. The lens swivels more than 270 degrees so you can get the shot you want. It has 1048 by 1536 resolution images and has 3.3 megapixels. It produces high quality images. You can...

Pros: This camera produces some of the best prints Ive seen, great features and solid workmanship
Cons: red eye with built in flash

I consider myself a fairly experienced digital photographer, having owned six digital cameras, and taking thousands of photos with them. I owned two epson's, a cannon, and three Nikon's. I have used the coolpix 700, the 800, 950 and now the 990. I have...

Pros: Image quality, Functionality, Design
Cons: Battery Life, Software, User Interface, No charger

The image quality of this camera is great, and that was my primary reason for choosing it, as 3.3M Pixels was about as good as you could get, and the lens is of good quality. Also when I first took delivery of the camera, and read the instruction book, I...

Pros: Flexibility, Usability, Technology, Price, Quality
Cons: Low Battery Life (turn the screen off when ever not in use to conserve battery life)

I choose the Nikon 990 due to its massive resolution ability and its super functionally. My personal and professional use of this camera has proven to me without a doubt that I made a good choice. The camera is fast and easy to use. The image quality...

Pros: Excellent resolution, features, split body.
Cons: Slow startup, red eyes, poor low light focus.

I remember when my Uncle purchased this camera last year and showed it off to me. I immediately took it out and shot some macro's and other general images to try it out. He's since gotten a Canon D30 and let me buy his 990 for a great price.
Since...

Pros: best digital camera out there for under $1000
Cons: expensive

Nikon Coolpix 990


This camera is the next in the Nikon family. It has fixed the primary problems with the coolpix 950. The problems with the 950 are:

No USB port
Slow capture speeds
Camera has to be removed off of...

Pros: Similar featuresd as 35 MM counterparts, great automatic mode-Quality, simple to use!!
Cons: Expect to buy more Compact Flash storage media cards!!

I have used Nikon 35mm cameras for many years. I have also bought many point & shoot cameras. When digital point & shoot cameras exceeded three megapixels, I learned I could get sharp 8x10 prints on my inkjet printer that came close to the...

Pros: Stunning image quality, manual modes for custom shots, USB transfer, external flash capability
Cons: Inadequate flash/red-eye, power consumption, relatively high price, slow response time

The CoolPix 990 is a lot of camera for a lot of money. Whether it is a good value is another question. I have been shooting 35mm as a hobbyist for the last twenty-five years, and like many others, have been checking out the digital units on the...

Pros: great camera awesome resolution, zoom.
Cons: expensive, overkill for most web uses

this is the nicest camera on the market at the moment! 3x zoom, great resolution, and a lens the equivalent of a 35 millimeter! how could it be bad. my only advice is that it is a little steep in price, and if all you need a digital camera for is to post...

Pros: Excellent pictures in Auto almost every time.
Cons: Flash Red-eye is a pain. I try never to use the flash. Low battery life

I have a 6 volt lead acid battery pack 4.5 AH which I carry in the case with a 4 foot cord which plugs into the battery socket. I have two batteries which last for many hours. I charge the batteries in my car with the lighter socket and 110 volt socket....

Pros: Durablity, quality of photos, easy to use.
Cons: Eats batteries.

We bought this camera in June of 2000. We did have to buy a larger memory card, rechargable batteries, and the power cord but in all we're very happy with it's flexiblity. The pictures are great. And more importantly, it's withstood my toddler. Two...

Pros: Tons of features, movie mode, and very clear pictures!
Cons: Must have original software CD, AC power in front, limited movie & no sound.

I've owned the Nikon Coolpix 990 for a year or so now. On the positives, it has very good picture quality. You can adjust both the quality of the picture as well as the size (so for example, you could take a 3.3 megapixel pictures at 640x480...

Pros: Very sharp! Excellent zooming, good view panel, easy to use
Cons: eats batteries, flash too bright for close-ups, it's expensive!

The CoolPix is an excellent camera as far as I am concerned.The quality of the pictures that it produces are of an extremely high quality, thanks to the 3.34M pixels it can handle. With a 64Mb card in the camera, it is possible to take 999 640*480...

Pros: its a good camera
Cons: is a bit expensive

This camera is an excellant choice. It is one of the best in my opinion out in the market. It should cost you around one thousand dollars but is well worth it if you are looking for that digital camera that is on someone you know christmas list. I must...
