Summary: My latest digital camera.
Review: It took me only a few months to outgrow my previous digital camera. I was so happy with my HP315, that the Nikon was going to have alot to live up to. I still haven't figured it all out yet, but what I have is great. It's even more intuative than my HP. The features seem to go on forever. The zoom brings you right into the action. I only wish that I had more reason to use it on a regular basis.

Summary: Nikon 995 [stinks]
Review: Spent nearly [item price] when all was said and done. The camera is fun. The software [is bad] and renders the camera of little value. Nikon supports [is] worse than their software. Virtually impossible to get any of my computers to recognize the memory cards so I can transfer the images to my hard drive. I have spent hours and hours and hours trying to get this worked out. Buy something else!!! I seriously regret this purchase.

Summary: LOVE it!!!!
Review: Excellent auto mode as well as lots of room to grow if you wanna go manual. When I saw the results of my photography it inspired me to get to know my camera better. If this "baby" takes these nice pictures by itself, then what am I to expect next....perfection? Well, there's always room for improvement. In the case with this camera the improvement should come in the area of the "photographer", but the camera itself is a big time winner. ESPECIALLY, the price....

Summary: My 9th Digital Camera
Review: The CoolPix 995 is my 9th digital camera and the one that has convinced me to leave my 35mm SLR camera home when we take our next vacation (April 2002). I have been addicted to film for over 40 years but I am now officially converted. This will be the first time going digital only. I am still using film for underwater photography but that may change next year. The 8x10 and 11x14 prints I am getting from the 995 convinced me that digital is my future. This is one great camera, you can read the specs but using it is the clincher. If you buy it (Amazon's price is very attractive) get a spare battery and a 128mb (or larger) Compact Flash card and you are set. The Zio card reader is another nice accessory (but not essential).

Summary: Excellent In Most Respects, But With a Minor Caveat
Review: 4.5 StarsThe price has come down recently on the 995, making it an even more attractive buy. I do not own one, but have used one enough (8 or 10 hours) to get a good feel for what it can do. And I've used it in very demanding conditions that stretched the flash and exposure controls to their limits. Be prepared to work your way through the manual to learn all of the controls and do a little experimenting. This camera has enough exposure and resolution control to satisfy most users even for many difficult situations. Our work group has been testing digital cameras for years and in the process have had a good look at many Nikons. We measure resolution in various ways to get a handle on effective pixel density over the full range of optical and digital zoom. The 995 fared well in our tests, equaling the best comparably priced Olympus in all but the widest angle setting. Some felt that the 995 could be optimized in exposure and color saturation even better than the Olympus cameras. I spent a fair amount of time evaluating the wide angle converter lenses. Near fisheye and wide adapters are available, as are telephoto. In conditions not requiring a flash, the fisheye and wide adapters worked very well, introducing little distortion or reduction of resolution and color saturation was very good. However, the 995's flash does not have adequate coverage for wide angle and fisheye images. This problem is not unique to digital cameras - you'll have to get creative to use these adapter lenses indoors in close quarters.

Summary: Everything you want and more!
Review: Had a Kodak for just over a year, and while I really liked it, I wanted more expendability, ie, QUALITY LENSES! I'm doing more and more 360 panoramic for web work, so picked up the CoolPix 995 and the 183 degree fisheye. Really a great combo. The camera has a menu of presets for specific lenses - two settings for the Fisheye. Really fast and easy setup. One caveat - MEMORY. a 128 meg card fit a dozen photos in the Fisheye mode. Same card in lowest quality (fine for web pics) holds a few hundred photos! Camera has high speed modes, video mode, and more. External sync for speedlights (bracket required). Uses an oddball rechargeable battery, so you can't just toss in a couple of AA batteries as a backup. You'll need an extra battery or two. Well worth the cost. Great camera, great quality photos!

Summary: Coolpix 995 a winner out of the box
Review: A lot of people know a lot more about digital cameras than me. For those of you in the same boat expect a great product. You will have to read the manual and learn the ins & outs of the camera, but what a fun journey it is. Spend time with it. Experiment and you will be hooked.

Summary: Great camera.
Review: This is really a wonderful digicam in almost every respect. The optics are Nikon-great, the optical zoom is an adequately powerful 4x, the resolution is good enough to make perfect 10" x 14" enlargements, and the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery system is a stellar performer both for its long life and for its fast recharge cycle. About the only things I don't like are the ungainly (unusual?) size and articulating shape and the lack of an adequate memory card, but there is no digicam available today that includes a card large enough to suit me.

Summary: SLR CAMERA BUFFS WILL LOVE THIS ONE
Review: WELL IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD A NIKON D-1 AND YOU ARE A CAMERA BUFF THEN THIS IN THE ONE FOR YOU. IT FEELS LIKE A 35M IN YOUR HAND, OR CLOSE ENOUGH AND IF YOU ARE FAMILAR WITH THE NIKON CONTROLS THEN IT SHOULD BE EASIER
. THINGS TO NOTE:
IF YOU ARE NOT A PHOTOGRAPHY ETHUSIAST THEN FORGET THIS ONE, IT HAS A BIG LEARNING CURVE IF YOU WANT TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT. THIS ALSO COMES WITH A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY AND THAT IS GOOD CAUSE YOU WILL NEED IT. I PLAN TO BUY A COUPLE OF EXTRA BATTERIS. ALL IN ALL I AM VERY HAPPY....
