Review writing on hold - too much school work and coursework to do at the moment. Don't think I'll be writing until after my exams in late June :(

I have had my Nikon Coolpix 7900 for about a year and a half now and have been very very pleased with it. It is a small, compact digital camera that offers stunning quality pictures with lots of different features. Priced at around £250 it is superb value for money and I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone!
**Looks, Design and Size**
As with many modern technological inventions, they have suddenly become fashion items and the same is true about Digital Cameras. Therefore, it is crucial that yours is 'cool' and this camera is approximately -7 degrees. It is small and extremely stylish with subtle curves that make it easy on the eye. It is definitely a supermodel among digital cameras. It is light and fits comfortably in your hand so can easily be
carried around if you are going to be using it a lot. The dimensions are:
Width: 8.8 cm Depth: 3.7 cm Height: 6 cm Weight: 0.2 kg Body Material: Aluminium
With 7.1 mega pixels, the NikonCoolpix 7900 delivers top quality pictures. They are very detailed and realistic and help you to capture moments of your life in stunning detail. The 4x digital zoom allows you to take good zoom shots, which also come out in superb detail. Many digital cameras often have poorer quality when using the zoom feature but the Nikon Coolpix 7900 does not! Also, the Auto-Focus and Auto-Flash features ensure that all pictures are in focus and well-lit.
At first, I thought that the picture quality was pretty poor. Browsing through the pictures on my camera on the small screen I was horrified by the images I was seeing. However, once I put them onto my computer the quality was much better. I think that the quality of the LCD screen is not very good and therefore makes the pictures appear quite blurry. Only a slight problem though!
**Features**
You can do quite a lot with one of these things. It takes pictures and does video with sound, which is a nice thing to have! The features for the camera involve night-mode, party-mode, landscape mode, museum mode, firework mode and many more. It does take a while to get use when to use each mode, but they can really improve the quality of your pictures. Setting the camera up using each mode is very simple and easy to do. To add to that, it saves your settings once you have turned it off which is very useful and means you don't have to keep applying new settings every time you turn it on.
**Ease of Use and Instruction Manual**
The Nikon Coolpix 7900 is very easy to use - even my Mum can use it! The buttons are all well positioned and the captions clearly show what they do. Deleting and managing photos on the camera is easy and likewise changing settings is simple with the on-screen menu. It does take a few goes to get the hang of it, but after that, you will find the camera is very straightforward, quick and easy to use.
The instruction manual, all 153 pages, is pretty good. It can be complicated at times, but can't they all! I have not had to use it much, but it is worthwhile glancing through it initially to give you a better feel for the camera. The index is fairly good to look up specific things and it uses the icons found on the camera well to relate to the different topics if you need any assistance.
**Reliability**
My camera has been very reliable. It hasn't broken down or required servicing and looks as if it will continue to last for another few years! Charging is quick and easy and the battery life on the camera is fantastic. I have used it for days at a time before I have had to recharge it! This camera should not give you any problems at all.
**Durability**Obviously, it is not wise to drop a digital camera and they are items treated with great care. My camera has been dropped once, by my Dad of all people but it still works fine. Therefore I presume it is durable and will not be carrying out further tests on it with a hammer! It only has a small dent on the zoom button to show for its troubles. The incident happened in Australia when I had warned my dad that he wasn't doing his rucksack up correctly and something may fall out. Alas, after he didn't do it up properly again, my camera fell out. Who says parents are always right?!
**Overall**
This camera is superb - it certainly won't disappoint you. It is ideal for all sorts of pictures; holiday pictures, party pictures, wedding photos etc. It offers superb quality, an extensive list of features, superb looks, very lightweight, reliable and great value for money.
If you need a new camera, don't look any further!
Thanks for reading, Steve xx

of the cost of original manufacturers and can be used in many makes and models of digital device. Rechargeable digital batteries are rated in "mAh" which stands for "milli-ampere hours". This rating is used to state the storage capability of a battery, e.g. a 1000mAh battery would be capable of delivering 1000mA of current consistently for one hour whereas a 2000mAh battery would deliver the same 1000mA of current for two hours. Li-on rechargeable digital batteries can deliver 40% more capacity than comparably sized NiCd batteries and weigh less than the nickel-based batteries and develop no memory effect. U-Bop battery cells are environmentally friendly, feature a very high energy density and have no memory effect. All batteries are produced to the highest quality standards. A built-in microprocessor safeguards the cells by limiting maximum voltage and by protecting against deep discharge, short circuit and overload.Brought to you byU-BopThe Accessories Boutique
