The Nikon Coolpix 990 is a digital camera from the year 2000 with a 3.34mp CCD, 3x zoom lens, and full manual or automatic control. To be clear, manual operation isn’t as easy as with your typical SLR, but it’s there if you need it. The swiveling design lets you shoot at odd angles, or even take selfies. The 990 runs on 4 AA batteries (included) and records to a CF card (also included.) Also included: a Nikon TC-E3ED 3x teleconverter, which looks and feels much better than a point & shoot’s teleconverter has any right to.

Please note: this camera records to CF cards. We’ve included a card, but you’ll need to track down your own card reader to transfer the images to your computer.
