Nikon Coolpix 995 2048X1536 3.34MP 16MB Camera Review - PCWorld

People who want excellent performance and maximum creative capabilities will like the Coolpix 995. But less-exacting users may prefer something less complicated.

Nikon Coolpix 995 Review

Nikon announced the 995 on 25 April 2001. It marks the latest incarnation of a series of Coolpix cameras which started back in 1998 with the 900. The design team for the 995 had a tough job, they had to evolve one of the most popular and revolutionary...

Excellent image quality, superb metering, good colour (better than 990) Relatively sharp with "expected" resolution Low image noise at ISO 100, relatively clean and usable ISO 200 (better than 990) Less red channel noise than the 990 Large amount of...

Lens distortion quite apparent (both barrel and pincushion distortion) Chromatic aberrations are still visible (same level as 990) Corners of frame can sometimes appear un-sharp (lens) Relatively "slow" lens (F2.6 - F5.1) compared to some of the...

Here's my rating of the Nikon Coolpix 995: (3 megapixel prosumer)

Nikon CoolPix 995 Digital Camera Review: Intro and Highlights

Support our adopted charity House of Hope

I've seen plenty of color saturation-adjustment features on cameras before, but they very often overdo the effect, with the minimum adjustment steps resulting in either neon colors or very flat, washed-out looking pictures. The 995's color adjustments...

Coolpix 995 Review

An evolutionary step in the Coolpix line. Unfortunately, the step is a small one. Add a comment or send Thom feedback on this article. When the feature list of the 995 first hit the net, it provoked a lot of head-scratching. Where was the increased...

The eject button on the CompactFlash slot is hard to get to. On the 990, the fold-out eject button was at the bottom of card slot and had a larger cutout above it to allow your finger to reach in and fold out the button. On the 995, the eject button is...

Nikon Coolpix 995

What's in the Box

Excellent photo quality ; The camera for macro shots ; Every manual control ever conceived ; New 4X optical zoom lens ; Pop-up flash reduces redeye ; Support for external lenses, filters, and flashes ; Lots of info about your photos in playback mode

Proprietary battery ; No sound in movie mode ; Very complex- takes lots of time to learn

The Nikon Coolpix 995 continues to be one of the cameras to beat in the 3 Megapixel field. It's excellent photo quality, amazing macro mode, and wealth of manual controls make it an excellent choice for the amateur photographer. The biggest complaint...

Nikon Coolpix 995 Review

An evolutionary step in the Coolpix line. Unfortunately, the step is a small one.

Excellent FINE JPEGs. Plenty of resolution to print 8x10" prints, and the color fidelity is excellent. JPEG artifacts at the Fine setting are minimal. Color fidelity is improved over the 990, as is saturation of some colors, such as yellows. Shadow...

Lens still has defects. The redesigned lens, while giving more telephoto reach, still has very visible barrel distortion and chromatic aberration. Both keep the Coolpix line from seriously crossing over into the pro world. And frankly, neither should...

Nikon Coolpix 995

Nikon’s swivel feature takes some getting used to, but the 995 is a powerful, well-featured unit with accurate colour-capture, a great zoom lens and an impressive amount of functionality. Its macro feature offers fantastic results, and it’s...
