Nikon Coolpix 7900

Announced in February and released in April, the Nikon Coolpix 7900 is still a candidate for the 2005 holiday shopping season. Its small black body makes it one of the more stylish Coolpix models and it packs an impressive 7.1 effective megapixels onto its 1/1.8" CCD. The Coolpix 7900 is the big sister of the Nikon Coolpix 5900 and has many of the same features, but the 7900 boasts a larger pixel count and a few other tweaks in the specifications. This model houses Nikon’s new technology set, which includes face-priority auto focus, in-camera red-eye fix, and D-Lighting compensation. The 7900 has a 3x optical Nikkor zoom lens, a 2-inch LCD screen, and 13.5 MB of internal memory. Retailing for $399.95, the Nikon Coolpix 7900 can currently be found online for about fifty bucks less.
