Nikon Coolpix P90 – Digital Point and Shoot Camera Perfection

The Nikon Coolpix P90 is a 12 Megapixel Inteliigent Digital Camera with features previously only found on more expensive, bulkier and more difficult to use Digital SLR cameras.

I have historically found point and shoot cameras, while easy to use, disappointing when it comes to features.

That is, until now.  The Coolpix P90 has changed my mind, with a feature set that seriously rivals a modest to high end DSLR, this point and shoot camera can easily replace most consumers SLRs and DSLRs.

One of the most revolutionary features is the smart portrait system, which detects your subjects face, smile, and can tell you if they blinked when you took the photo.

A sweet 3 inch LCD display is bright, vivid, and easy to see in any lighting conditions.  The electronic viewfinder also aids in taking great photos and positioning your shots.

One of the greatest features is the Nikon 4 way VR image stabilization, making fuzzy pictures pretty much a thing of the past.  Motion detection, High ISO capability, Best Shot Selection and the absolute wealth of image enhancement features make this camera a great choice for anyone who wants to get quality images without a lot of technical fuss.
