What's good about the Nikon Coolpix 995? If you're willing to immobilize your subject(s), leaf through the owner's manual, and perform a few experiments, the camera can handle many specialized photographic situations that would otherwise require a much more expensive digital camera or a film-based camera system. The 995 accepts IBM Microdrives. You can pop in a 1 GB drive and take 1000 pictures before reloading. The 995 offers useful macro capabilities, e.g., the ability to fill the frame with an object less than one inch (25mm) long. The 995 can be manually focussed. The 995 accepts an extensive range of supplementary lenses, from wideangles and fisheyes to long telephotos. The 995 can average multiple images for high-quality photography on a tripod at night.
