Space zag gisteren de review van de Nikon Coolpix 950 verschijnen en besloot ons een link te geven naar deze review van de nog dikkere Coolpix 990:
"In de opvolger van de Coolpix 950 hebben ze een grotere CCD chip gepropt (3.34 mpixels!) plus weer een hele hoop extra features. Dit ding heeft de meeste features dan welke "prosumer" digitalecamera ook. Alleen heb je flink last van rode ogen (net als bij de 950), maar dat kan je in fotoshop wel wegpoetsen. Wordt hier verwacht in mei en gaat F2500,- kosten. Nog even hard door sparen ":
The Coolpix 950 already offered outstanding features like Best Shot Select and a variety of continuous shooting modes. These are all repeated on the 990 and accompanied by a few new ones. In addition to the Continuous and Multi-Shot 16 shooting modes, the 990 also offers an Ultra High-Speed Continuous (approximately 30 frames per second with a total of 80 QVGA shots) and a Movie mode (up to 40 seconds of QVGA sized images at 15 frames per second). There's also an Auto Bracketing feature that brackets as much as two stops up and two stops below the set exposure, producing a total of five images. We really enjoyed these features and the amount of creativity and flexibility they allow. We were also pleased with the return of the extensive white balance menu from the 950 (Auto, Preset, Fine, Cloudy, Incandescent, Fluorescent and Speedlight) and the variety of metering options (the famous 256-element Matrix mode, Center-Weighted and Spot). Also, under the settings menu, we enjoyed the ability to alter the in-camera sharpening as well as increase or decrease the contrast or turn the image into monochrome black and white. Not to mention the ability to connect an external flash and use with or without the built-in flash. This camera is so feature laden, it's hard to find lack to complain of.
[...] What a camera! We really love the almost excessive amount of control and think that you will too. The Coolpix 990 gives you as much control as you want, but also offers the luxury of sitting back and letting the camera do all the work as well. With its bevy of exposure options, compact portability, and high image quality we think this camera will be very popular.
