Just got home today after looking at new digital cameras, all of the sudden my Nikon 995 seems HUGE. But over the past 18 months it has been flawless, and made me switch completely to digital for family and some work (dentist).
I thought it interesting that someone noted that red eye was not as much of a problem as earlier Nikon digital cameras – I thought it was a big problem, and it would be my one complaint about the 995.
The 3.2MP was more then sufficient, I recently just got an 8 X 10″ from an online printing surface, and it is beautiful. Printing on my HP 7550 I was able to get excellent 5″ X 7″’s, but I guess this isn’t a printer review.
The menus are easy, and downloading via USB was a snap. I would rate the software as very average. I still don’t understand why WIN XP can’t just recognize the camera for direct downloading instead of going through a third party soft ware.
I have now attached the camera to a clinical microscope and will continue to use it. And I don’t think I will buy anything more then a 4MP camera for my next hobby camera. Of course, I just purchased the 6.2 Canon Rebel today for work and serious photograpy, but that’s another story…
If you're in the market for a Nikon digital camera the choices and options can be somewhat overwhelming, so here's a good place to start. In this article we are going to discuss the Nikon Coolpix range. After reading, you should have a better idea of what distinguishes the Coolpix cameras from others, so that you can go shopping with more confidence.
Basically, the Nikon Coolpix range can be divided into three main categories, each with their own price range. First we look at the "P" series, where "P" stands for "Performance". This is the high end of the market where you are looking at the $400 - $500 range. But you get what you pay for, including high 8 - 10 megapixel definition and added features such as vibration reduction, built in Wi-fi for cordless remote operation and image stabilization.
These are nice cameras and their focus is on reducing Nikon Coolpix 995 3.2MP Camera human error and producing high quality images. In other words - performance.
Next we have the "S" series - where "S" stands for "Style". If you're looking for a camera with a visual appeal but one which still has some performance edge, then this is where to go. You get a lower megapixel resolution - about 6 - 7 mpx but on some models can zoom up to 10x. Not the same versatility and functionality as your "P" series but the price reflects that, at around $250 - $350, usually depending on zoom features.
Finally, we have what we might call the "Learner" or "L" series cameras. They are much cheaper at around $120 - $250 so if it's a bargain you're after, but still want ease of use and quality, then the "L" series is probably for you. The price differences usually have to do with megapixels and the size of the LCD display screen.
One of the favourite features sought in any modern camera is its zoom quality. Being able to shoot from a distance can be a great advantage. We're not just talking 'number of times' here, but the sharpness of focus and quality of image when maximum zoom is in play. The Nikon Coolpix range boasts a superior image quality, not only in terms of sharpness but also of colours and exposure.
We shouldn't bring this review to a conclusion without mentioning the add-on accessories that are available to the coolpix range. Whether it's cables and chargers, lens caps, CD-ROM viewers or camera straps you need, you'll find an attractive selection available for most models.
The bottom line is, that the Nikon Coolpix range of cameras is not one of the most popular on the market for no reason. For all the popular features you love, the price you pay is good value for money.

Having owned my Nikon 995 since 2002 and bought a second one in a pawn shop in 2007, I must say it is really superb. I like it better than my Nikon Coolpix 5000. I take mostly macro photos: this camera was designed for macros. Fantastic lens! The camera is still sought after by universities and research facilities because it has a threaded portion in front of the lens for accessories, such as filters and adaptors. I put an adaptor on mine, for example, so I can use my camera on my telescope to take photos of the planets. Terrific fun! You can also use it on a microscope.
Negative? Well, the battery does not last long. Keep an extra battery on the charger while you are using your camera.
Nikon 995: very highly recommended! Great quality does not become obsolete!
I have been using the 995 since 2001, I am a medical Radiologist, in my field everybody needs a high quality digital camara aid for storing cases. The results using my Nikon 995 compared to other cameras (from my collegues) in the same range are breath taking!! You a get a great Nikor lens, with a very convenient Makro and so many manual options that makes it impossible to need another camera.
Plus you can have add-ons that the others don’t have like the slide reproducer that lets you digitize all the old slides!!. I have literaly taken thousands of pictures and works as good as new. The 995 lets you take charge when you need to, but also has the automatic ¨SNAPPY¨ mode for easier shots. It’s a must have. After comparing I can’t imagine 3 years later why would I want to change it for another.
