Optical zoom does not matter in the Nikon nikon p90 p100 ans?
I'm looking to get a Nikon, and I found 2, the Nikon P90, Nikon and p100. the p90 has 24x optical zoom. and p100 has 26x, is also more expensive. Is it worth? one is what really makes a diffrenence?
The P100, which has replaced the P90, has a number of improvements over the P90. I do not think the slight long zoom is almost as important as the other features, including improved sensitivity light sensor gives better quality pictures in low light or indoors, and a high-resolution LCD screen with a definite view. Both cameras have vibration reduction which is useful in low light and long telephoto zoom. The P100 also has Full HD 1080p and built-in High Dynamic Range processing, a new feature Interestingly, you can learn on Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging agreement. Nikon's specifications, the P100 also get some more shots in a battery. We use a P80, which came before either of these two cameras, and takes very nice photos. For me, the most important part of the zoom far-reaching in these cameras is not the longest telephoto lens, but the biggest wide angle. Both the P100 and P90 have the same wide angle, so the zoom is quite like me. The extreme telephoto zoom on this camera is so long (and pretty similar) which is often difficult to get sharp images in the longest zoom, even with vibration reduction, except when they are careful to keep the camera very steady and is off to a brilliant high shutter speed. Some will say that since the P100 has less megapixels is not as good value, but I disagree. The image quality will benefit most from better light sensitivity P100 and less noise. You will never notice the difference in resolution between 10 and 12 megapixels in this type of camera. I think if you can not pay the price difference, you will benefit from the new features of P100. However, the P90 can also take great pictures, and for most picturetaking all days, there would be little difference between the images taken with both. If you shoot a limited number inside the light without flash, in particular with the action, or want shoot the highest resolution of HD video, the P100 will have an advantage.
