Nikon Coolpix 990

 

As one of the first 3.4-megapixel cameras on the market, the Nikon Coolpix 990 raised the bar for other cameras. Despite its high cost, the Coolpix doesn't include an AC adapter, batteries, or a carrying case, so buyers can expect to add $50 to $100 to...

Nikon Coolpix 990 Review

 

Probably the most eagerly anticipated digital cameras of 2000. Last year I made that statement of the Nikon Coolpix 950. This years Coolpix 9xx has already achieved the same cult status and it's not even yet available in the shops! Then why all the...

The Nikon Coolpix 990 is the first of the new wave of 3.34-megapixel resolution digital cameras. It retains the best features of the Coolpix 950 like the razor sharp Nikkor 3x zoom lens, the closest macro capability of any digicam, the highly durable...

The Coolpix 990 has an exclusive Multi-Area autofocus mode for quick composition without interruption. It searches the 5 zones for closest subject or sharpest subject. It is a direct descendant of Nikon pro film and D1 digital SLR cameras

Nikon Coolpix 990

 

You won't find any animated icons, chatty status panels or preset scene modes in the $2953 Nikon Coolpix 990. This matte-black, 3.3-megapixel, 373g camera is all business. With quiet, smooth operation and a wide array of tools here for setting exposure...
