The Kodak EasyShare Max Z990 was released in 2011 with a 12 MP BSI CMOS sensor. It’s considered a bridge camera, a compact digital with some features and styling of a larger DSLR. It has a 30x optical image stabilized lens made in Germany. I love the bold, bright, and contrasty photos it captures.
Fernandina Beach lifeguard Gavin is standing watch over the beaches of Amelia Island, Florida.Busy beach.My three ‘test’ palms.More expansive view – note the three ‘test’ palms.Wide angle of about 28mm.Telephoto at around 800mm.HDR setting.Kodak film simulation of ‘Vivid’ is closely associated with Kodacolor film. Sharp and contrasty.This is a lifeguard stand shot with the camera’s ‘HDR’ setting. Notice how the yellow flag shows movement since HDR takes three images in succession and then combines them into one image.
The Kodak EasyShare Max Z990 is a worthy digital camera from the early 2010s. At 12 MP, it has plenty of resolution for most applications, and its superzoom lens (28-840mm) blows away most other cameras in its class. By the way, all these images are straight from the camera – no post-processing. JPEGs can be sharp and colorful.

As the title implies I’m selling a favorite camera that I’ve used on and off over the years. The Nikon Coolpix P90 12-megapixel bridge camera with a very powerful (and sharp) Nikkor 24x optical zoom lens. It’s served me well and hopefully, someone else will want to give it a new home.

As captured.Bald cypress early Spring cone. I usually don’t see cones on such a young tree (about 4 years old). Macro setting f3.2 at 4.6mm.Full telephoto (110.4mm).CCD sensors produce film-like images. Again, no post-production.
To get an idea of how powerful the zoom is. These two images were taken at full wide angle and then full telephoto.

The camera can close focus down to within 1 cm of the front lens element!
Amazing 24x Optical Wide-Angle (26-624mm) Zoom-NIKKOR ED Glass Lens – quality optics provide exceptional images. The lens is built on a proud heritage of producing precision camera optics that deliver superb color and razor-sharp results. This amazing lens offers unbeatable compositional freedom with its wide-angle (26mm) to super telephoto coverage (624mm). Sweeping landscapes can be captured as well as zoomed-in close-ups of the action taking place on the baseball or soccer field!
4-Way VR Image Stabilization:
Nikon’s Optical VR Image Stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake by moving the image sensor. This produces clearer, sharper results in lower lighting or unsteady conditions.
Motion Detection automatically detects moving subjects and adjusts the shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement.
High ISO 6400 capability gives you sharper results when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects. This creates new opportunities to take sharper, more natural-looking photos in lower light conditions. ISO 3200 and 6400 are available at 3MP or lower resolution.
Nikon’s original Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically takes up to 10 shots while the shutter is pressed and then saves the sharpest image.
Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, and Manual Exposure Modes give you ultimate control over your pictures. The D-SLR-type mode dial on the top of the camera provides quick access to greater personal and creative control. Now, you can adjust the camera’s settings for any type of light conditions and get as creative as you want!
