24x zoom that delivers bothwider and longer reach

The Nikon Coolpix P90 Digital Camera (12.0MP, 24x Optical Zoom) 3.0" LCD offers the unbeatable compositional freedom of a quality 24x Zoom-NIKKOR that features outstanding focal range from 26mm wide-angle to 624mm super-telephoto. It even covers macro shooting ability from as close as 1 cm (0.4 inch.) from your subject.

The 3" vari-angle LCD adds greater framing freedom.

Given the versatile reach and range of the 24x zoom lens, you are bound to find yourself wanting to shoot from the hip, or from a higher angle. That’s why, in addition to its electronic viewfinder, the COOLPIX P90 features a 3" highresolution vari-angle LCD with antireflection coating. The LCD can be tilted upward as much as 90 degrees, or 45 degrees downward.

According to customer review on Amazon, UK

Having had my Nikon P90 for 4 weeks I wouldn't be without it. As a bridge camera I can carry it around without having to worry about having the right lens for my DSLR. The 24x optical zoom covers all my photograph needs. The flip out movement of the 3" LCD screen makes composing the picture very easy. I like taking flowers and the Macro facility is superb for this. There is some purple fringing on high contrast subjects mainly at the 640mm end of the zoom. The thing I would like is a RAW record mode hopefully there will be an update of the firmware as Cannon have done. Like I. L. Knowles review I keep leaving the lens cap on which I hope doesn't damage the lens motor and a live histogram would be an advantage as it is all to easy to burn the highlights out. Overall I am very pleased with my Nikon P90 and meets all my photograph requirements
