I *love* this camera.
I've had it for over 3 years and got it when I decided I wanted nicer pictures, and more control over those pictures - but at the same time didn't really want to go through the hassle of learning and the cost of getting a DSLR.
Before getting this camera I found that every year I felt like I wanted a newer or better camera, and I've yet to feel the urge to replace this one.
People are constantly asking me what kind of camera I use, and I am always more than happy to tell them and then to point them to the newer available models.

Oh and battery life - mine is awesome. I use it for long periods of time all the time and I so rarely have to charge the battery that I often forget to when it actually does die.
The one con I can think of - it is really hard to get good pictures using the flash. They almost always turn out just eh.

As a photo guide in Alaska I have used this camera under some of the most grueling condition mother nature can handle such as sub zero temps well below the rated zone. This camera responded flawlessly sure it slowed down and the battery life shortened the P90 gave me the results I wanted, sharp and true to life images.
The P90 is with me at all times and has provided some stunning photos even after after a few good hits. After 9000 photos it still reacts like new.
One surprise was the black and white mode, it has a tendacy to shoot towards the flat side but with some tweeking its workable. One use of this camera is taking test shots for my 4x5 the images are enough to use them as guide photos.
The P90 is built to nikons high standards and will continue using it, its a nice addition to my collection of nikon gear.

This camera is outstanding. I took pictures without reading the manual for a while. I thought they were great until I read the manual and found out what the camera can really do. Any skilled photographer can take exceptional pictures with this camera. I'm very happy I bought it.

This camera is just down right amazing!! It takes amazing time lapse action pictures with taking at least 20 a second! My pictures that I have taken with this camera have won multiple contests around the state and nation! This camera takes better pictures than cameras worth thousands of dollars that professional photographers have, I am a teenager and this camera is perfect!

This is the best camera I have ever used. I love it. It is great and easy. I have let others "use" it while I am close by, they love it as well. I do not want it out of my site because it is the best thing ever. It is easy to use, has a fantastic zoom, about a mile can look like the back of your hand. If you are looking for a new camera, CONSIDER THIS ONE.

I've had this camera for over a year and it is a great camera. The only problem with the camera is the shutter lag. It's brutal, for me at least. It drives me nuts. Except for that it's typical Nikon quality. I wouldn't buy any other brand. One of these days I'm going to buy my D300S.

I bought this camera for my school trip to germany, and it was a wonderful camera to have. I got the best pictures of things far away with great detail. Sometime I get frustrated because some pictures can turn out almost like pixelated from poor lighting. Action shots can sometimes be like that, but I really love the 15 frames per second.

I never spent this much money on a camera so before I bought I researched, compared and read everythinbg I could find. I finally decided to buy and it was the best purchace I have made in years. This camera will do just about anything you want a camera to do. I have had great results taking photos by experimenting and following the manual. I never thought I could take such beautifully detailed pictures.

This is the first digital I've bought since I was still using film. All I can say is that I love, love it! The zoom is great and I love the sports mod when I go to hockey and baseball games. Can't wait to see the kind of photos I take with it in China. Thanks again for bringing digital in my life.

This is my favorite camera of all time! It takes great photos. It has a great zoom lens, view finder, many different applications and programs. It is lightweight and fairly compact with its own case. It goes beyond the pocket camera but it not as cumbersome and technically overwhelming as the SLR. It is a wonderful "hybrid". I cannot say enough wonderful things about it.

Between the nice range of zoom and the size and the weight of this camera, I find myself using this one much more that I expected to. I have a N90 and a D90 and this little guy performs like a SLR without all of the hassels of a larger camera.

For it's size, the picture quality and sharpness is outstanding! I love the telephoto closeups--no distorstortion and the anti vib is great. The selectable display between viewfinder or screen is quite handy on bright days.

I like the mega pixels and the zoom. The pictures are great. I only wish this camera would have had the HD video like the new P100, without compromising mega pixels and zoom.

The only negative thing I have is this camera tends to over expose a little on bright days. Easy to cure if you remember to adjust your EV. The Optical zoom is very good (and fast), excellent focusing, very good and easy closeups. Digital zooms on any camera do not produce good quality pictures and I don't use the digital zoom at all. I have used Nikon since the old 35mm days, and this camera does not disappoint. My favorite subjects are animals

I have waited for a light weight backup for my D300 for sometime. Once reading photog magazine review on preformance and photo quality, I test one in store. Finally decided to buy. It has been a great travel addition. The zoom capability has given me more freedom to shot from the vehicle when the need arises. Animals and plants appear along backroads, and there is no time to setup or pull off. This camera has allowed me to get the shot framed and taken quickly. The vibration reduction helps when the engine is still running [when turkey are beside the road edge and I'm slowing down as I pass them]. The ability to has view finder, and back screen make getting the shot even easier; the tilt back screen is wonderfull for ground level shots and focusing.
I do wish it shot JGP and RAW.
