Nikon Coolpix 990

The Nikon Coolpix 990 is a digital camera introduced in 2000, featuring a 3.34-megapixel CCD sensor designed for high-resolution imaging. Its CCD sensor size is 1/1.7 inch which contributes to good image quality for its time. The camera body supports ISO sensitivity ranging from 100 to 400, enabling moderate low-light performance. It has a versatile 3x optical zoom lens with focal lengths from 6.2 to 18.6 mm (approx. 38-114 mm in 35mm equivalent). The Coolpix 990 includes a swivel LCD screen for flexible shooting angles and composition. It records images in JPEG format and offers manual exposure controls for advanced users.

The Nikon Coolpix 990's key advantages include its 3.34 MP resolution allowing detailed photo captures. The swivel LCD screen improves shooting flexibility and ease of use in various positions. Its manual control options give photographers creative freedom that was uncommon in consumer digital cameras at the time. The optical zoom lens provides useful focal range for different shooting scenarios. The camera’s compact design and robust build make it well-suited for portable photography. Additionally, compatibility with Nikon accessories enhances overall utility.

Limitations of the Coolpix 990 include relatively limited ISO sensitivity up to 400, reducing performance in low light compared to modern cameras. The sensor resolution is low by today’s standards, limiting large print quality. The 3x zoom range, while versatile, may not cover wide-angle or telephoto extremes. The camera does not offer video recording capabilities, restricting multimedia use. Battery life is shorter compared to contemporary devices. Finally, the camera has a slower processing speed and limited storage options compared to modern models.
