Nikon Coolpix 7900

 

Its innovative scene modes provide an easy way for beginners to take good images, though performance wasn't always ideal.

Great variety and depth with scene modes. Competitive price.

Slow boot-up time. Lacks manual settings. Slightly noticeable shutter lag.

Nikon Coolpix 7900 Camera

 

Small and attractive, the Nikon Coolpix 7900 combines an extensive array of scene modes with two very useful advanced settings--exposure and white-balance bracketing. The 7900's 3X optical zoom is relatively pedestrian, but its 7-megapixel imaging...

Nikon's PictureProject 1.1 software, bundled with the 7900, is a capable, general-purpose image management package. Its one-button Auto Enhance tool effectively improves color saturation and image sharpness. The collection also includes tools for...

Nikon Coolpix 7900

 

Nikon puts 7-megapixel imaging in a compact, nicely designed point-and-shoot camera.

The Coolpix 7900 is a great, general-purpose snapshot camera. Now-and-then photographers will find it easy to use; and its array of controls, great image quality, and high resolution will make it attractive to advanced shooters as a backup camera.

Nikon Coolpix 7900 Review

 

In February 2005 Nikon announced several new additions to its compact Coolpix range, including an entry-level 7 megapixel model (the Coolpix 7600) and two slightly more feature-rich cameras which are indentical except for their sensor pixel count; the...

Very compact and pocketable Beautifully built and all-metal construction Good resolution and good edge-to-edge consistency Excellent natural color and exposure - very few blown highlights Manual (custom) white balance Fast focus and very responsive...

Images soft (though they respond well to unsharp masking) Very poor low light focus - even with the new AF illuminator Some focus errors at the long end of the zoom even in good light Low ISO results relatively noisy using default settings Finest...

In an increasingly crowded 7MP compact market, the Coolpix 7900 has much to recommend it. Design, build and ease of use are excellent, and there is a surprising amount of power hidden in the extensive menus, offering control over focus, metering, white...
