Nikon P90 Digital Camera
Posted by: Adina in Cameras

Nikon manufacturer has taken a short break in their travel to make a digital cameras with many Megapixels, and focused more on the other more important characteristics of a digital camera like optical zoom. When speaking about “super-zoom†devices range that currently exist in the market, we have to take a moment and talk about the Nikon P90 digital camera, launched in February this year.
Once out of the box, you will feel that you are holding in your hands a small-size and light D-SLR camera. Anyway, the device’s construction makes this digital camera look exactly like a D-SLR camera. The quality of used materials, assembled with great precision is the same as in many other Nikon models, so no doubt the external appearance was a confirmation of quality. Having only several buttons, like zoom keys, a special key which helps you to choose between shooting modes, album or device’s settings, an On/off key, a Delete key and a DSP button, this digital camera is very easy to use.

Since we are talking about a “super-zoom†digital camera, the most important aspect which will impress is the optical zoom. The Nikon P90 digital camera has 24x zoom. In other words, the focal range is somewhere in the 4.6 mm and 110 mm interval, which is really impressive for such a compact digital camera like Nikon P90. Even if this range is very large, it will not keep the device away from distortions and clarity problems. For that, the Nikon P90 digital camera comes with four image stabilization methods. First is the vibration reduction system (VR) which will ease the device’s moves, the motion detect, which compensates the subject’s moves, a ISO sensibility up to 6400 (which can be used if you choose the 3 Megapixel resolution) and a “best picture†selector (with this feature, the P90 will take 110 pictures and saves only that picture which has the best clarity).

The Nikon P90 digital camera is also equipped with an intelligent portrait system and a Smile detection (the camera will take photos only when the subject is smiling). To be capable to view the image before capturing it, this digital camera has a 3 inch LCD display with 230,000 pixels and an electronic viewfinder, similar with that used on old cameras. For connectivity, this digital camera comes with a USB port, TV-out, SD/SDHC card slot and VGA output. If you choose to buy a Nikon P90, in standard package you will find the camera, a Li-Ion battery, a MH-61 charger, a USB cable and an Audio-Video cable.

Anyway, in our days, there are not many people who are looking for a super-zoom digital camera. Most people are interested in a camera which has at least 10 Megapixels resolution, because they think that is the single feature which matters in order to get great picture quality. Nikon tries to offer with the help of this model a digital camera which has many DSLR functions in a compact and lightweight device, recommended to novices and for those people who want more fun out of a digital camera. The Nikon P90 digital camera is a robust and a good balanced camera waiting to be discovered by photography lovers.
