Nikon Coolpix P90
Encyclopedia
The Nikon Coolpix P90 was launched by Nikon
on February 3, 2009 as an improved version of the Nikon Coolpix P80
. It is a 12-mega pixel CCD
digital camera
with a fixed 24× Zoom Nikkor ED glass lens giving more than twelve times image magnification fully extended. An in-camera feature compensates for lens pincushion- and barrel distortion in the image. The VR in this case refers to the vibration reduction image sensor shift system. The camera has a three-inch (76 mm) LCD display
that may be folded 45 degrees downward and 90 degrees upward to facilitate shooting above-the-head or low-to-the ground images as well as traditional waist-level and eye-level viewing. The electronic eyelevel viewfinder has the same resolution as the LCD display. Switching between these alternatives is by simply depressing the DISP button next to the viewfinder.
Most of the features otherwise are carried over from the P80 model
