Nikon P90 Digital Camera

Features

Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLPIX P90, a new compact digital camera model that offers extended reach, wide-angle coverage, the intuitive ease of advanced shooting functions and outstanding performance. A new 24x Zoom-NIKKOR lens for the COOLPIX P90 covers a broad focal range of 26mm wide-angle through 624mm super-telephoto (35mm format equivalent). The clarity of these precision optics combine with 12.1 effective megapixels of sharp resolution and advanced Nikon digital image-processing to faithfully reproduce fine details and subtle tones, and to maintain image quality when taking advantage of extended light sensitivity settings as high as ISO 6400. Image sensor shift VR image stabilisation adds extra reassurance of sharper and clearer results.

Review summary: Nikon joins the ranks of manufacturers ramping up their top-of-the-line megazoom models to 24x. The replacement for the Nikon Coolpix P80, the P90, outzooms its 18x predecessor with a 24x f2.8-5 26-624mm-equivalent lens, and outpixels it by upping the...

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

Review summary: As superzooms go, the Nikon Coolpix P90's not bad, but it fails to bring anything new to the genre. It can hold its own against its rivals, but there's nothing that makes it stand out. The Olympus SP-590 UZ is much cheaper and the Canon PowerShot SX1...

Verdict: Conclusion The Nikon Coolpix P90 is a typical superzoom: fantastic specifications, but riddled with operational limitations and compromises that don't really become obvious until you've used it for a while. It's vastly more sophisticated than the...

Review summary: A super- zoom camera with superb continuous shooting modes. Shame about the clunky user interface and inconsistent performance.

Verdict: When you think how much it would cost to buy a set of lenses that gave you as much versatility as the zoom offered by the P90, then the this camera offers very good value for money. The problem is that while there is much to like about the P90, there...

Review summary: Given the propensity of so-called ultra-zooms to follow the basic DSLR layout, the slab-sided Nikon Coolpix P90 doesn't appear to attempt to blaze a trail. But the traditional layout and utilitarian design of this particular hybrid is deceptive

Verdict: But few of these niggles are likely to be real deal-breakers, as the usability of the Nikon Coolpix P90 is such a strong point. Only the high price tag is likely to count against it, so if you find one at a bargain price, you should seriously consider...

Review summary: At the rear of the Nikon P90, a bright 3in screen stands out. This can be tilted to give the best view when shooting at low or high angles, and the main controls – shutter button, mode dial and D-Pad – feel really solid and durable. The Nikon P90 has a...

Review summary: Consider it mega-zoom madness, or more like a super-zoom summer fever. Fresh on the heels of the somewhat challenged 20x zoom Canon PowerShot SX1 IS and the Editors' Choice 20x Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX1 comes the Nikon Coolpix P90 with a more potent 24x...

Review summary: The Nikon P90 is stuffed with one of the biggest optical zooms on the market—24x. In addition it can capture 12-megapixel images, plays host to a variety of scene modes, and includes a 3-inch, multi-angle, tilting LCD screen. Nikon also makes a big...

Verdict: The Nikon P90 has a comfortable design to go along with its tremendous 24x zoom capability. We liked the feel of the right side grip and the button placement was solid all around. We were also impressed with the vari-angle LCD screen that offers a...

Review summary: The P90 takes on the typical format for superzoom models, with the large lens housing and viewfinder sitting to the right and a fairly chunky hand grip over to the right, with all the controls being pretty much reachable with the thumb or forefinger of...

Verdict: Still blighted by the shortcomings of its forebear, the P90 is capable of some great shots on one hand, but suffers on the other

Review summary: 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.

Verdict: Nikon's Coolpix P90 is perfect if you want a small camera with a massive zoom. It doesn't take excellent photos, but it's quality is good enough for A4 prints and for sharing your pics online.

Review summary: We checked out the Nikon COOLPIX P80 earlier this year, and were really impressed by its feature-rich offerings and awesome performance. It's time now to get down and dirty with the Nikon Coolpix P90 - which like its predecessor - shows great promise!

Verdict: Night shots weren't the most impressive either, but they weren't too bad. Details in low light shots were lost, but light and dark areas were picked up pretty well. The Nikon COOLPIX P90 offers a plethora of features, but falters a bit when it comes...
