Input:
Had this a little over a year, great camera--have the feeling I'm still only scratching the surface of what this thing is capable of.
The Pros:
1. Oustanding image quality, great colours, etc. Typically Nikon does err a little on the side of preserving detail, so you might find a little contrast/brightness adjustment in Photoshop to your taste.
2. Enough manual control if you want. Enough point and shoot in the Auto mode if you don't.
3. That swivel head gives great flexibility.
4. Best shot selection gives some really interesting flexibility with regard to avail. light photography (OK, so I know I really should use a tripod).
The Not-so-good:
1. The flash is disappointing. Terribly easy to red-eye anything biological :) Get the bracket and an add-on flash if you have to shoot flash. To be fair, tough for _any_ camera with the flash/lens this close together to not have the same problem (red eye reduc. or not).
2. The pre-exposure focus lock does not 'feel' as definite (when you partially depress the exposure button) as on Nikon's 35mm SLRs. The nice, nice thing about the 990 is that the area of focus is artificially sharpened in the LCD viewfinder. _Very_ tough to check focus in 950 LCD viewfinder until _after_ you take the pic and magnify in the LCD.
3. Definitely less than great for fast moving action. Digitals in general are not the greatest for moving action. For long-time 35mm users, this is probably the hardest thing to get used to. By the time, you add in the focusing time, save to CF card, etc., there is a definite delay between pulling the trigger & getting the shot, as well as a significant delay between shots (flash use makes it worse). Some of this can be negated by swithing to Manual and presetting a focus distance, and so on, but it's an adjustment.
Recommendations:
1. Get three sets of NiMH rechargeable AA batteries--this thing eats batteries for breakfast.  2. Get a bigger CF memory card, at least 48MB.  3. Get a USB/PC card reader for the CF card--the serial connection is _painfully_ slow.  4. Download the .PDF file from Nikon's site which goes into a little more detail what the controls do.  5. Get this book! :)...
Would I get this again? YES, but I would probably spring the extra bucks for a Coolpix 990 for:
1. Focus area sharpening 2. Selectable autofocus area 3. USB 4. QuickTime capture
Less so for the 3.3 megapixel.
