Thousends were waiting for the arrival of the next big thing in premium compact cameras. It was one of the most eagerly anticipated digital cameras in the year 2000 and the subsequent success was great. An outstanding form factor, good lens and macro functions that manage to impress even today lead me to ask myself the question: Is the Nikon Coolpix 990 still worth it in 2021?

Love the early 2000s camera, so much nostalgia!

I just reviewed the 990 and was really surprised about the how good the images looked. Colors straight out of camera looked way better compared to my iPhone 12 pro. I really wish Nikon would bring back innovative designed bodies.

You have the most fascinating narration (and voice) I've heard in a long time. Love the videos! Can't believe I got in as a ground floor subscriber!

My first digital camera was from 2000-- the 2 Megapixel Pentax El-2000.

You did not comment on the telephoto and wide angle lens adapters. I sold mine I often wished I had is back.

It was a fantastic form factor for candid shots... also it was built so well nothing later can compare ))) I purchased one in early 2001... was Canadian $1000 !!

Great video, and great photos taken. Which is the biggest compact flash in Gigabytes? 1., 2 or more? to support by the 990

@paologiordano.photos Год назад

fun fact: it could shoot raw DNG via a painful diagnostic mode. Those files had very funky colors though which needed to be fixed in photoshop using the hue/saturation option

Great video, as usual :) I think it was a good decision to drop the intro. Your videos have that calm, comfortable that I also strive for in mine. Keep it up! 😇

@quirkycams4965 3 года назад

Thanks Jens! Yeah I also had the feeling the old intro didn't really fit. Glad you like it. Stay healthy!

I still think those photos look great, even by todays standards! I worked at Best Buy in 99 when this camera first came out. I wanted one so badly. But they were a little too expensive for me when I was a kid lol

Goes for 30-40 bucks on eBay. Never too late to live an old dream.

If I attach the medium lenght of tripod mount at bottom of the camera will it hold the battery door after latch broken?

@TheonlyKon Год назад

I have the coolpix 990, and for about two weeks now I have been buying and returning compact flash cards because they are either too new or too big, do you recommend any brands to buy for the camera?

@emmfdez812 2 месяца назад

I have the 950 model, and it has a TIFF uncompressed mode (I used it for scan some negatives with the slides adapter) the 990 hasn’t the possibility of taking TIFF photos?
