Description:
In February 2005 Nikon announced several new additions to its compact Coolpix range, including an entry-level 7 megapixel model (the Coolpix 7600) and two slightly more feature-rich cameras which are indentical except for their sensor pixel count the 5MP Coolpix 5900 (which replaced the 5200) and the camera on test here, the 7MP Coolpix 7900. All three feature several unique features, including In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, face-priority AF, D-Lighting and Blur Warning, which analyses each shot as it is taken and warns if the image isn t sharp.
The Coolpix 7900 joins an increasingly crowded field of small, point and shoot 7 megapixel cameras from most of the major players, and goes head-to-head with popular models such as Canon s SD500 and Sony s P150 P200. So does the latest Coolpix have what it takes to stand out in an increasingly competitive market A quick glance at the headline specification certainly looks promising
