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 (digitalcamerainfo.com)

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.

video mode, made even less satisfying by its lack of key controls

"Love it for son's ice hockey games"

Great zoom capability, and stabilizers must w... 

High ISO and up to 45 FPS in continuous sports mode allows for bright pics of fast action shots in ice hockey rink. Still learning and playing with this camera, but the few shots I've taken in auto / other modes and better lighting look terrific

High ISO and 3 megapixels in the sports mode results in more noise when enlarged, but I'm not expecting the same result as a pro or a DSLR. Shots become less steady for me at the highest optical and extra digital zoom

Inexpensive. Light weight. Easy to use. Incredible zoom capabilities. BSS (Best Shot Selector) is very cool

Low battery life. Image quality is just okay, would have expected better from Nikon

Having had 3 Nikon SLR cameras before I purchased this camera in April 2009, I found this camera easy to use and with great handling abilities. Large LCD screen. Great zoom facility with a menu which is good and easy to understand

The control for the zoom is not smooth to use and extremely sensitive. There are no facilities offered by Nikon to either attach a lens hood or screw mount for filters. This lets the camera down.and that Nikon did not think of this
