I Love To Take Pictures, So I Decided To Give The New Nikon Coolpix P90 A Try
I've been shopping around for a new camera for the last few months, and I finally decided on the Nikon Coolpix P90.
I had a hard time deciding between a digital point and shoot, and a digital SLR camera. So I studied the features of several cameras, and narrowed it down to the Coolpix P90.
I take a ton of photos, so I wanted something I could haul around with me everywhere I go. I was afraid if I went with a SLR camera I wouldn't want to haul around the extra lenses and equipment. So I was afraid I wouldn't use it as much.
The Coolpix P90 was as close to an SLR camera as I could get without actually buying one. So far I haven't been disappointed it takes beautiful photos! I have some showcased here so check 'em out!
My Favorite Nikon Coolpix P90 Photo So Far
I've taken over a thousand photos on my P90 so far (in a little over a month). So far this is one of my favorite photos.
Nikon Coolpix P90
Nikon Coolpix P90 12.1MP Digital Camera with 24x Wide Angle Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 3 inch Tilt LCD
Amazon Price: Too low to display (as of 12/05/2009)
My new Coolpix P90 is incredibly easy to use. Even if you just point and shoot you get great photos!
I love all the special features including the 24x zoom, image stabilization, and the large view finder I can swivel around to take overhead, and angle shots.
My Review
I ordered my Coolpix P90 right before I left on vacation. I'm glad I did. I took my trusty old camera along on vacation too, since I was just getting used to the P90. When I pulled the old camera out of my purse to take a quick photo it was dead.I had to have a crash course on using the new P90, so I'm glad it was easy to learn! I was getting great shots in no time.
My old camera took AA batteries, and I was constantly changing them, even when I used the lithium. I love that the Nikon P90 has it's own rechargeable battery. I took it to a bridal show, and to a 50th wedding anniversary and captured over 300 images each time and the battery was still going strong after each event. The camera comes with the battery and charger.
I also love the swivel view finder. I've already used that feature a couple times to hold the camera above my head and capture a shot.
I'm not the technical camera person, so I can't tell you all the technical details of this camera, I can just tell you that so far I love it.
