Nikon Coolpix 5900

Connectivity
Software - PictBridge, ArcSoft, PictureProject and QuickTime are included in the software package with the Nikon 5900. These basic photo imaging products will assist users in moving and editing their photos.

Jacks, ports, plugs - One terminal is located on the left side and is home to the USB and A/V out ports. The port is covered by a gray rubber port cover.

Direct Print Options - Direct print options are becoming a vital part of marketing other photo imaging products, so it’s important to note that the Nikon Coolpix 5900 has a Transfer button, making output for printing or emailing with PictBridge software simple.

Memory
Interestingly, all of the models in the new Nikon lineup include 13.5 megabytes of internal memory. This is handy for emergencies (photo emergencies that is — i.e. loss of memory card) and for transferring or copying to another card without a computer. Additionally, the Nikon Coolpix 5900 is compatible with Secure Digital memory cards. Located on the right side of the camera body, the memory card slot is nicely concealed by a matching gray port cover.

Other features
Help Button - I am definitely a fan of the new Help button included on the Nikon Coolpix 5900. It’s easily accessible and gives quick, concise explanations — a gem to any beginner or new user!

D-Lighting Setting - The Nikon D-lighting feature helps compensate (after a picture has been taken) for excessive back lighting or underexposed regions in an image. The D-lighting feature is designed as a one-touch automatic correction to bring the tonal levels in the image up to adequate visibility and salvage otherwise lost images without extensive editing work.

Underwater Scene Mode — A new underwater scene mode is included on the Nikon Coolpix 5900; handy for the common vacationer or marine biologist. But the optional underwater housing is required to take the 5900 into the water.
