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.
