While the 7MP Nikon Coolpix 7900 is a great compact camera, it isn’t for everybody. Beginning and intermediate users will love the creative possibilities of the 7900’s scene modes, but the compact camera lacks the manual settings that experienced shooters will want for more control.
One of the more practical features of the 7900 is the Face Priority AF mode, a portrait-focusing feature included in the portrait scene assist mode. The feature was introduced at this year’s PMA show, and it works well, though it won’t work in every portrait situation, such as capturing someone in profile. With just a few improvements, though, this technology would really be worth using in the future.

In its basic black attire, the 7-megapixel, 3X-optical-zoom Coolpix 7900 adds a touch of class to Nikon’s compact digital camera line. In addition to a wealth of scene modes and a built-in help system, the Coolpix 7900 comes equipped with the latest technology designed to help snapshooters get the best pictures possible. The lack of aperture and shutter controls shouldn’t deter enthusiasts, either; the Coolpix 7900 makes a great throw-in-your-pocket-and-take-it-anywhere camera. If 7 megapixels are more than you need, you may want to check out the less expensive Coolpix 5900, the 7900’s silver, 5-megapixel twin.

The Coolpix 7900 is one of two new cameras from Nikon, the other being the Coolpix 5900, a similar looking camera with a 5-megapixel resolution, while the 7900 has a 7-megapixel resolution. Both these models are extremely compact, and yet provide a 2-inch LCD monitor, and a 3X zoom. The Nikon Coolpix 7900 feels solid. The exterior is metallic, finished in a metallic black paint, and the lens barrel and its trim are silver, matching the band that divides the front and back of the camera.

The Nikon Coolpix 7900 is very easy to use and effortlessly captures well-exposed images with Point-and-Shoot simplicty. With 7.1MP resolution, an ED lens, and fast operation, the Nikon 7900 delivers very good image quality in a compact, attractive and solidly built body.
The Nikon 7900’s Auto Mode is more like Programmed Auto, allowing you to set ISO and dial in exposure compensation. It also allows the more advanced amateur photographer to set manual White Balance (WB), move the AF area to one of 99 positions, select image sharpening, image saturation, and even bracket the WB. For those desiring P&S simplicity, the Nikon 7900 has lots of useful Scene Modes to automate the most common picture-taking situations.

The ultra-compact Coolpix 7900 is Nikon’s most resolute and feature-rich point-n-shoot digicam for 2005. It’s the “big brother” of the 5-megapixel Coolpix 5900. It integrates a 7-megapixel imager, Nikkor 3x optical zoom lens and advanced features in a durable and stylish package. Designed for simplicity, it offers users a point-n-shoot “Auto” exposure mode, and helps the less-experienced photographer obtain good results with its wide variety of pre-programmed scene modes. There’s also scene-assisted modes (Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Night Portrait) that help you compose the shot with framing assist outlines on the LCD. The Coolpix 7900 will appeal most to beginners and photographers with intermediate skill levels; it lacks the shutter-priority, aperture-priority and manual exposure modes that advanced users demand.
