great camera to learn about dig photographyReviewed by Leslie F. Lewis, 2010-03-06
In short, this is a light weight, easy to use camera that takes excellent pix and has a really good manual help to learn digital skills. This is my first digital camera. I am a fair to pretty good photographer with a film camera. Did not want to spend a lot of money since I am just learning how to use digital. With this camera I am now pretty good to WOW WOW! Look what I did. The camera is easy to use and I can get great pix. I use the camera mostly for nature shots and outdoors. I have taken pix of everything form crab spiders in the calyx of a plant to the moon. Have had the camera for about seven months and am extremely happy with the product. The manual is very easy to use and understand so it its helping me to learn this new skill. I did not like the Nikon software that comes with the camera. Big waste of time. I use iphoto and Aperture III for downloading and editing. I also use some of the nifty iphone photo apps to makes artsy shots. I am also just learning how to use all of this software but am enjoying creating and printing my own photos. I would recommend getting the Nikon brand batteries and not the el cheapos. The Nikon batteries spring out of the camera quickly. The less expensive brand does not. I bought two cheaper batteries and was very frustrated. Too hard to get out of the camera! I shoot a lot of pictures when I am rambling thru the natural world so need to change batteries quickly in dusty or dirty areas. In about a year I plan to move up to a dslr with a big honking telephoto and other fun lenses but until them I am very happy to shoot with this little guy. My only problem seems to be not enough wall space to hang all the really cool images I have gotten with this point and shoot. I notice some folks complaining about pix quality. I had to learn to take a little more time when shooting. This is a digital camera so it takes a few seconds for the camera to set up and meter a shot. Watch the monitor to see that the camera has everything set. It is not like a film camera so you cannot just fire away. Also, choosing the right setting is important. This is also something a beginner has to learn. Again, if you are willing to learn this is a great entry level camera.

This is really a very good camera in range of $400. Frankly
speaking if u r interested in DSLR, then don't go for it. But if u
r looking for good camera (but not DSLR). This has very good
results & good features.
Must buy if u r interested in 24 x zoom + 12 mega pixel
camera.
So overall it's a great deal.

I just received this camera today and it appears to be a real beauty. First of all I am not a professional photographer so I really just needed a good, solid camera with high zoom capability and good resolution. The P90 fits the bill in all that. I am studying the manual today to learn how to use all the other features and capabilities and I am sure it will be a joy to use. My previous camera was a Kodak DX6490 which is a great camera but began acting a little flaky. So, it was time for a new, upgraded camera. The P90 has an excellent "feel", very solid and a bit hefty which makes it seem like a "real" camera. I took a few sample pictures and they look great. I got it from Amazon at a very good price compared to the local retailers in my area. Included are the battery, charger, lens cap, neck strap, A/V cable and USB cable. I had a 2 GB SD card which, according to the display, would hold about 350 pictures at the highest quality and resolution. I have ordered an 8 GB card and extra batteries so I will be prepared for the little league season coming up. The menu system is easy to use and the buttons/switches are all in the right place and easy to access. Unless there is something drastically wrong with this camera that I have yet to discover I think I will be very pleased with it.

I have big hands and I shake alittle when holding something for
very long. My Coolpix P90 is just what I had been looking for. Now
I can take pictures of my Grandbabies and secure my stuff for
insurance purposes. The reconditioned camera was in my price range
and I couldn't be more pleased. My Garnddaughter had just purchased
the same one several weeks ago and I saw the results. It takes
great pictures and it's easy to use. Thanks Amazon.com Johnny
