Nikon Coolpix P90

Relatively speedy ; tiltable LCD ; two custom settings slots on mode dial

Subpar photo quality ; poor battery life

While the Nikon Coolpix P90 brings its performance up to speed with the rest of its class, it now falls behind in photo quality.

Coolpix P90

By Tim Barribeau

While a competent camera, the Nikon Coolpix P90 doesn't distinguish itself from the ultrazoom competition, and has a disappointing video mode. Though the 24x lens is impressive, other cameras have better features and performance.

Nikon Coolpix P90

By Tim Barribeau

The Nikon Coolpix P90 packs a 24x lens and a fair degree of manual control into an ultrazoom with a $400 price tag.

The obvious standout feature of the P90 is its huge zoom lens range, which provides the equivalent of 26mm-624mm on a 35mm camera. That's a substantial wide-angle along with the fantastic telephoto capability. The P90 also comes jam packed with a high ...

Nikon Coolpix P90 review

By Mike Perlman

We took Nikon's 24x optical zoom monster for a walk in the park. Is there more to this compact camera than maddening magnification? Read the in-depth Nikon Coolpix P90 review here.

Great overall image performance. Big zoom. Wide-angle lens crammed more action into shots

Feels cheap. Limited external controls and features. Terrible menu system

That's where the 3-inch folding LCD comes into play, which we'll get to in the next section. The Nikon Coolpix P90 also has an electronic viewfinder, but it's a hard plastic box devoid of an eye socket-approved rubberized texture. We liked the ...
