My favorite camera has this 1 weird feature | Nikon Coolpix 995 Review

I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing to get caught up in a gimmick, but this time I definitely am. I got this camera at a tag sale for a few bucks, and it's definitely not perfect. But it's really fun to use, and it's helped me look at photography in a new way. In this video, we take a look at the Nikon Coolpix 995.

Hi Elias, the limit switch on the base serves to prevent the lens part to swivel down beyond the horizontal position by the weight of an optional lens converter. It may be confusing since the lens stil move back to the up position - that means - it limits the movement instead of locking it. About the front 8,4 volt port, it was used to power the camera direct from the AC outlet (via an optional adapter) witch is quite useful in some situations like studio or lab work.

Hello Elias, I have to know, does this camera have a feature to include date stamp on the photo?

This was my first digital camera. I had been using film cameras since the 1950's using 4x5, 120 and 35mm film. I bought out when I was living in the London area. I used ir when I traveled around Europe in 2002. I was very impressed with the results. I stopped using film cameras because of the convenience. I stopped using it after I bought a Canon 20D camera. I am going to take it out and start using it just for fun. I even purchased three auxiliary lenses and want to try these.

Blurry video! So great for filming big foot and ufo footage 🤣

I use it strictly for macro in P mode on a tripod. Capable of good results. Fun as well.

I have the previous model, the 990, which is the best of the 3 versions that came out. The first, the 900, had less megapixels than the next 2. The second & third (your) had the same greater megapixel count and were identical in most every other respect except for the fact that yours had a bit longer lens on the telephoto side than the earlier pair. Unfortunately, that larger lens made the housing impractical to continue making with steel for some reason, so yours was made of plastic & clunkier looking than the earlier models. Consequently, the second one was the sweet spot. & there’s nothing wrong with your grinding lens drive, these models all sound like that, like there’s something amiss. I know two other people who have this camera, & they sound like mine. You’ll also come across other owners on line with the same noisy complaint. P.S. - I also have a Canon G model from around the same period that sounds similar.

What is the largest memory card that this camera can use?
