Chris, The list is working. I think the 990 may be passing into history since many people have moved on to new cameras. I still have my 990 but don't use it,...
Thanks - I have 2 990s, just in case one fails! I also have a D70, but for macro work the 990 wins! I think is was Nikons best designed camera and they still...
My primary camera is now a CP5K, but the old 990 toils on in obscurity at my office. I'm an optometrist, and use the 990 to document any external ocular...
... I still use my 990 sparingly and have moved on to a D200, which is a lot heavier and harder to lug around. Maury [Non-text portions of this message have...
HI, Chris! I'm still here, shooting with my 950 while my wife has the 990. I like my 950, but desire higher resolution and faster operation. That said, the...
Ron, I haven't seen a reply to this, nor have heard of this. I'm thinking that there is a problem with the ccd circuit. This is based on both the LCD and...

Well... I recently picked up a 990 on ebay. I had been using my Kodak DC290 for a LONG time. They are both cameras from the same erra, but I look forward to...

My 990 died and no chance to resuscite it. For this reason I want to sell my wide converter (0.63x) and tele converter (2x). I am from Romania and I guess...
Hi, I'm into the Coolpix cameras all being purchases from E-Bay. I use a Coolpix 800, 950, 990 and most recently 5700. Is this an addiction? The 950 and 990...
... Yes it is an addiction, Brian I have now a CP8400 because the 990 is falling apart (sigh) but after all is still my favourite. I don't like the flash...
... Possibly too late since it may be out of production, but the battery pack for the CP8400 is WONDERFUL. Not only does it accommodate AA cells, but it lowers...

From: "topart" <topart@...> ... Hi Vladimir, The 990 won't work as a charger. You'll need a separate charger for NiMh batteries. Mike Russell ...
... I don't think so, but why would you want to do this? You would be able to use the camera for 1 hour and then not use it for 12 hours while it was plugged...
Hmm, yes it more flexible to have two sets of batteries, but... when I remove batteries all my in-camera setting resets to default state... including Data,...
