Digital Camera Review

Feb 22, 2005 - By Nathaniel Hansen
At PMA in Orlando Florida, Nikon recently announced their new point and shoot Coolpix digital camera line up for 2005. Topping the list is the new Nikon Coolpix 7900. The Nikon Coolpix 7900 is equipped with 7.1 effective megapixels and a 1/1.8inch type CCD, a 3x Zoom-Nikkor ED Glass lens with a 38-114mm (equivalent) focal range. For added visibility, the Coolpix 7900 includes a 2-inch, 115k pixel LCD screen. From a glance at the specs, it appears that the Nikon Coolpix 7900 is positioned to perform on par with others in its price point. The model down from the Coolpix 7900, the Nikon Coolpix 5900, has 5.1 effective megapixels and a silver body. The 7.1 megapixel Coolpix 7900 is the only black bodied Coolpix model sold in the US and has been marketed as the ideal compact digital camera for the photo enthusiast. Expect to see the Coolpix 7900 available in April 2005, at an MSRP of $449.95 (USD).

Value
Available sometime in April 2005 for an MSRP of $449.95 (USD), the Coolpix 7900 offers a strong 7.1 effective megapixel CCD, automatic prowess and extensive manual options. With the inclusion of added features such as face recognition technology, D lighting, and a help button, the Coolpix 7900 is designed to ensure quality images without the need for extensive photographic knowledge. While the $449 retail price is not destined for true budget shoppers, those willing to invest a bit for quality should not be disappointed.
