Topping off the quality-laden COOLPIX digital compact camera lineup, the COOLPIX
990 is the new flagship model for “pro-sumers”, or professional and experienced
amateur photographers.The COOLPIX 990 carries forth the basic concepts of 1)
Better Total Picture Quality, 2) Higher Speed and 3) Increased Ease of Use that
characterise Nikon’s COOLPIX 950 (1999), while incorporating a wide variety of
enhancements that make it stand out even from its very high-quality
predecessors.The COOLPIX 990 is a 3.34-megapixel powerhouse that’s packed with
even more features than the COOLPIX cameras that came before it.
Incredible images are made possible by the new CCD, a newly designed 3x Zoom-Nikkor
lens and advanced total digital image control. Add to this accelerated and
simplified operation along with increased versatility and operability, and it’s
easy to see that the COOLPIX 990 is one superhigh-quality, super-cool digital
camera.
The COOLPIX990 will appeal to users who demand high performance, such as
silver-halide film SLR users and people with interest in mobile equipment. This
camera has the quality to set the pace in the global consumer digital camera
market.
