Nikon adds to its compact digital camera range, the all-new COOLPIX P90.
Incorporating the precision optics of a NIKKOR lens and the image quality benefits of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image-processing concept, the P90 brings greater versatility and fun to the art of capturing precious moments.
A new 24x Zoom-NIKKOR lens for the 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 stabilization adds extra reassurance of sharper and clearer results.
Further extending its potential as a versatile photographic tool, the P90 features a new 3-in. high-resolution vari-angle LCD with anti-reflection coating that can be tilted as much as 90 degrees upward or 45 degrees downward. This enables photographers to shoot from higher angles or from the hip, and to thereby make best use of the superior reach and range of the 24x zoom lens.
Refined ergonomics places controls where they can best simplify and streamline camera operation.
The Mode Dial for example provides quick access to the rich creative possibilities offered by advanced Programmed Auto [P], Shutter-priority Auto [S], Aperture-priority Auto [A], and Manual [M] exposure modes, as well as a choice of two user-defined settings (U1/U2).
Keeping photographers ahead of the action, Sport Continuous Mode adds the versatility of shooting as many as 45 consecutive pictures at 15 fps. And, it features a new Pre-shooting Cache option that enables the recording of up to 10 frames immediately prior to releasing the shutter.
