Nikon Coolpix P90 12.1MP Digital Camera with 24x Wide Angle Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 3 inch Tilt LCD: Customer Reviews & Product Details

I love this camera. It is lightweight and easy to use. Pictures are great.

I am surprised that in a point and shoot camera you can have so many features. It impress me the smile recognition, (wow it`s magic ;-}). Most of the colors are great; sometimes in indoor they go a little yellow.
The only con is the manual. The letters are small, for me=64yrs and they are gray. The zoom is powerful. Well, what else can I say?; I`m still learning new things.
For a point and shoot I recommend it 100% !!!

This is a great camera for someone who wants to take really nice pictures without paying the price of a SLR. If you read the manual, and take advantage of the camera's features, you can take great pictures.

She put this on her christmas list. that meant I had no input into the decision. Usually I compare and contrast various models of high tech devices before purchasing them. So I did not even look at the camera online, I just bought it.

Anyway, it got here and she loves it. It is really easy to take a picture. It is not easy to get the camera prepared to take a picture. There is a big lens cap you have to take off, you have to press a button to pop up the flash. And if you turn on the camera and leave the lens cap on, the lcd screen says you have to turn the camera off and take the lens cap off and turn the camera back on. kind of annoying.

Besides all that, it really does take great pictures. My wife was jumping up and down with how fast it shoots. We got a picture of our 8 year old in mid ollie (skateboard jump), they were both totally stoked. We have 3 little kids and you have to take a picture really quick sometimes if you want a cool picture. The P90 is really quick. and it takes a motion jpeg movies, so that's a plus.

In short, I like the camera and am glad i bought it. I think it was worth it.

I received a Nikon Coolpix P90 for Christmas. I had doubted that it could really perform like the ads said. I charged the battery and then took it out for a trial run before even reading the manual. What a surprise. I photographed a mockingbird and a buzzard in the top of a tree and a buzzard high in the sky above me. These were at 624 mm focal length and hand held. The results were exhibition quality pictures on the first try! Amazingly "user friendly", the camera controls are intuitively obvious. The sharpness of these distant birds was beyond my expectations. The camera is light and easy to handle. It is not of the little pocket variety, but the results are far better. Also, it is not a big clunky camera with a 2 pound lens. Well with these pictures on the first try, with a little effort, I expect some really great results.
