Nikon Corporation is proud to introduce the new king of the hill in digital photography — the Coolpix 990 Superhigh-Performance 3x Zoom Digital Camera.
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 Coolpix 990 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.
