With the Nikon COOLPIX P90, high-quality photos are simple to take and easy to enjoy. The 12.1 megapixel EXPEED image processor boasts amazing life-like color and superior sharpness and contrast.
The 24x optical zoom lens takes you wherever the action is--from wide landscapes to telephoto sports shooting. Coupled with Nikon's 4-Way Vibration Reduction System (Optical VR, Motion Detection, High ISO, and Best Shot Selector Technology), the P90 automatically corrects for unwanted camera shake and delivers breath-taking photographs--even under low-light.
Packed with professional-grade features, the P90 offers superior handling and ease of use in a package that's a fraction of the size and weight of Nikon's popular family of SLR cameras.

I'm an owner of the 12 megapixel Nikon D90 D-SLR. I was quite impressed with the quality of the pictures coming out of the P90. The auto settings seem to overexpose the highlights, easily fixed with exposure compensation, but that being said shooting under manual settings the pictures look great. It's light weight but not small. Still feels like you've got something in your hands. The tilting screen is a real plus, especially for shots above your head or below your waist. I would say that by far the best feature of this camera is the 24x zoom. Considering at the long end the P90 is shooting an equivalent 624mm, it takes amazing tele photos. If I wanted the same capabilities on my D90 it would require a extremely expensive lens and a lens tripod. Biggest downside to the P90 would be the noise levels above ISO 400. Considering it's capturing 12 megapixels in 28mm2 compared to the D90's 372mm2 it's understandable.

This is a nice little camera, but in some ways it's not as good as its predecessor, the P80. The zoom doesn't focus well with inside light, which is problematic. But it's a nice option when you need to travel lightly and don't want to bring a SLR along.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P90 Digital Camera (Matte Black):
Simple, yet very rich in features, with an outstanding zoom - optical, plus an extra digital up to an equivalent of 640mm. Light is quite good, 6400 ASA make it a truly sensible machine.
It's really the top choice before going DLR, but I must say I am using it (trying to, I should say..!) more like a DLR than a mere "point-and-shoot". In fact, this camere truly IS a bridge and it offers good compromises you wouldn't suspect in a sensor-only camera.
Very well recommended, and the price is excellent, particulary for a non-US customer passing by NYC and buying it in Euros..

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P90 Digital Camera (Matte Black):
I have found this camera to be excellent in most photo situations. We purchased our P90 on a cruise ship, after our camera broke,and used it taking shots on the ship and on land tours when in different ports. It is easy to use, and the added feature of being able to take shots in bright sunlight through a view finder solves the problem of seeing the scene.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P90 Digital Camera (Matte Black):
I was looking for a camera that would take great photos of birds and other wildlife on the fly and this camera has not disappointed. I have a bit of a problem holding the camera still, but with the image stabilizer in this unit I have gotten great shots from long distances that crop and enlarge beautifully. We live in the birding paradise of South Texas and just drive around spotting birds. Most of the photos I have taken were from the car window and are amazing. For the price range of this camera, I can't think of anything to criticize.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P90 Digital Camera (Matte Black):
I live and shoot in Fairbanks AK, started to use it for test shots but changed my mind after seeing the results.
This camera preformed very well at 45 below the battery dies quick but having a spare in you pocket solves the problem. The digtal veiw finder lacks a little the color its off but the results are awesome.
When shooting in the cold the lens moves slowly but it works well.
The sharp results under all conditions is impressive, I shoot D2s but when cold use the P90
Its is easy to conceal under a jacket and the controls are easy to use with light gloves on.
Hand holding this camera is a dream all the anti vibration work well and the color reproduction is very close. I was leary about not be able to using a filter but was proven wrong.
Any one looking for a camera with close to full d slr results need to take a hard look at this camera.

The camera delivers exactly what you need to take pictures with excelent quality / result and a powerfull zoom 24X.
The flash light could pops up automactilly when necessary, but you have to push the botton to flash on.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P90 Digital Camera (Matte Black):
I use this as a bridging camera between my SLR and point and shoot. The 624 mm optical zoom disignation is an illusion. The optical lens will give 624mm zoom in 35 mm format sensor. At it's present configeration only gives 110 mm optical zoom. I wish the company had been more clear about this feature.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P90 Digital Camera (Matte Black):
Great camera for something between your little "pocket" digital and the full SLR. Allows much of the SLR flexibility with the one built in zoom. Great camera for when you want excellent qualtiy without carrying around a full slr system.
Only con so far (I've only had it two weeks) is that the LCD doesn't always display an accurate color of what was actually taken.
However, the color is accurate on your pc and when you make prints.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P90 Digital Camera (Matte Black):
I've taken lots of pics under different conditions with very good to great results. Even tricky snow conditions were exposed properly; I take back what I said about shutter lag - actually, it is very minimal for a P&S. Articulating LCD screen is versatile and zoom range is nice. As long as lighting is sufficient, images come out fine. External flash shoe would have been helpful since this camera has a puny sensor with high megapixels count - a recipe for poor low light performance and unacceptable amount of grain. No amount of technical trickery is going to overcome that. Also, no thread for filter even if I just wanted to protect the front of the lens. Some of the settings/menus were not very intuitive - need to read the manual to get the most out of this camera.
