Nikon Coolpix P90 Reviews

DigicamReview reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“Noise is visible at the lowest ISO settings, and it’s quite clear that the camera is performing a lot of noise reduction as details are blurred. As the ISO setting increases to ISO400, specks of colour start appearing, as the ISO setting increases noise increases, detail becomes even more smeared, and at ISO1600 colour is lost. “

DCR compares the Olympus SP-590 UZ vs. Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“Is it unbridled zoom power you’re after? The 26x Olympus SP-590 UZ might be the camera for you. Do you attach more importance to the look, feel, and user experience of your camera? Take another look at the Nikon Coolpix P90. Bottom line - there are no losers here. When $350 can buy an excellent camera with all the zoom you could dream of, we’re all winners.”

DCI reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“The Nikon Coolpix P90 is a good camera at a low price, with one or two significant drawbacks. If you can afford the extra cost, we recommend the Sony HX1, as it has a significant edge on the features. On the other hand, if cost is your first priority and video doesn’t matter much, then the P90 provides lots of ultrazoom power for $400.”

LetsGoDigital reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“The Nikon Coolpix P90 is a versatile mega zoom camera with advanced features. It’s a nice tool for the photo enthusiast, offering a generally fine quality that allows for shooting a variety of subjects. However, if you demand a lot from image quality, prefer RAW support and think high resolution is fine as long as a decent signal/noise ratio is maintained, you’d be better off looking for a digital SLR camera.”

DCR reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“Both 64 and 100 ISO are good and hard to tell apart, with 200 showing a bit of noise but still pretty clean. By 400 ISO performance is slipping a bit more, but to my eye it might be just a tiny bit better than most other cameras in the class. If it is better, it’s slight, and not enough to be a deal breaker if you like another product better.”

DigitalTrends reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“We were impressed the way the P90 handled digital noise. It didn’t appear in our test shots until ISO 400, and was under control even at 800. Three-megapixel images captured at ISO 3200 and 6400 were useable for the Web, or a 3×5 print. However, the camera lets you limit the ISO to 400, which is where it should be kept for best results. This is basically the case for all non-DSLRs, so Nikon shouldn’t take a hit for this issue.”

About reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“One of the biggest drawbacks for the Coolpix P90 is its overall image quality. The photos certainly aren’t terrible, and most of them are at least average quality. However, low-light photos tend to have stray pixels and purple fringing. It also seemed to have trouble focusing properly on close-up images. “

NeoCamera reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“Operating performance of the Nikon Coolpix P90 is good. The camera is generally responsive, with good startup, shutdown and zoom speeds. Focusing is OK but not so fast.”

“I like the pictures I took with this camera. To be honest when it comes to picture quality there is not a great deal to choose between the leading brands. This camera has a good range of features and is a good choice for the more serious hobby photographer. .”

Tech2.0 reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“The Nikon COOLPIX P90 offers a plethora of features, but falters a bit when it comes to picture quality and ISO performance. In spite of that, the manual features allow you quite a bit of control, so if you know how to use them right, this camera can be quite a powerful tool to behold.”

CNET reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“The good: Relatively speedy; tiltable LCD; two custom settings slots on mode dial. The bad: Subpar photo quality; poor battery life. The bottom line: While the Nikon Coolpix P90 brings its performance up to speed with the rest of its class, it now falls behind in photo quality.”

“As superzooms go, the Nikon Coolpix P90’s not bad, but it fails to bring anything new to the genre. It can hold its own against its rivals, but there’s nothing that makes it stand out. The Olympus SP-590 UZ is much cheaper and the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS is much better, while the P90 sits in the middle and is just okay”

Steve’sDigicams reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“Our outdoor image sample quality is very good, showing good exposures and colors that are excellent, as you would expect from a Nikon. The camera does have a little trouble with a cloudy sky, as it slightly over exposes the clouds. Chromatic aberrations are controlled very well throughout most of the zoom range. “

DPInterface reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“If you’re looking for either a super-zoom or “bridge” camera (the latter is a camera that does well in both image quality and has a good movie mode), or even a camera with good value & image quality, you won’t find the Nikon Coolpix P90 on my recommendation list.”

RegHardware reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“Performance was a mixed bag. The zoom lens is certainly flexible and you can take a good range of wide and telephoto shots. But we noticed a tendency for the P90 to over-expose shots, and this was exacerbated when using the extreme end of the telephoto… The Coolpix P90 camera offers very good value for money.”

TrustedReviews reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“Nikon Coolpix P90 is a superb camera, certainly one of the best super-zoom bridge cameras on the market, with plenty to appeal to the enthusiast while still retaining some ease of use for the novice. It is attractively and sensibly designed, extremely well made, performs well and produces excellent image quality. It may be relatively expensive, but you certainly get a lot for your money. .”

“In the face of such tough rivals, it’s hard to recommend the COOLPIX P90 over them. Don’t get us wrong - it’s a fairly decent camera with a number of unique capabilities which are reflected in our scores below, but in our view there are simply better super-zooms available right now.”

“Pros: Great overall image performance. Big zoom. Wide-angle lens crammed more action into shots. Cons: Feels cheap. Limited external controls and features. Terrible menu system. “

CNET.au reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“The P90 is a competent superzoom with an impressive burst rate, but loses out against its competitors on image quality and features. That said, unless you need HD video and RAW functionality, the P90 is a relatively good buy given the extensive zoom range — just take a tripod with you.”

ePhotozine reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“I still think there’s room for improvement in image quality especially in colour fringing and noise control. That said, I mentioned the P80 as the camera for everyone and that wasn’t strictly true. It wasn’t perfect for low level photographers and now the P90 has covered that base as well.”

PhotoReview.au reviews the Nikon Coolpix P90 and writes;
“Colour accuracy was good in our Imatest tests and saturation was restrained for a small-sensor digicam, although reds were slightly boosted and skin hues a little off-the-mark. Metering was also generally good, although exposures tended to favour shadow detail over highlights and bright areas were frequently blow-out in outdoor shots.”
