The Nikon Coolpix 990 is the first of the new wave of 3.34-megapixel resolution digital
cameras. It retains the best features of the Coolpix 950 like the razor sharp Nikkor 3x
zoom lens, the closest macro capability of any digicam, the highly durable magnesium
alloy body and the unique swiveling lens design.
It now includes many of the user-requested improvements (CF card slot on side, USB
connectivity, improved battery life, better LCD) and adds powerful new features like
multizone autofocus, autoexposure bracketing, Flexible Program mode and a 7-blade
iris diaphragm for real depth of field control.
The 990's 3.34 megapixel CCD delivers a non-interpolated image resolution of 2048 x
1536 pixels with an uncompressed TIFF image file of just under 10MB in size.
Recording modes include still image capture at up to 2 frames per second in full
resolution, 320 x 240 QVGA at 30 frames per second and a new movie mode that
shoots 40 seconds of (silent) QVGA Motion-JPEG at 15 fps.
