Review of
Nikon Coolpix 5900 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
I purchased
this camera as a replacement for a stolen Canon SD300. The camera is very light
and only slightly less compact than the SD300 (while having a much better grip).
The 2" screen is bright with very high refresh rate. Similarly to the SD300, the
user interface is easy to navigate and the camera rips through images very quickly.
I actually prefer the interface and the number of manual settings of this Nikon.
The lens is fantastic and provides very nice and crisp photos with little noise.
I am very happy with its picture quality and plethora of manual settings. The
auto-focus is, in my opinion, not as fast and robust as the Canon's 9-point AiAF.
However, I still need to experiment with it more. Pictures taken in the macro
mode are exceptional. In my opionion, this is currently the best compact camera
in the $350 range. Highly recommended.
