The Coolpix 7900 joins an increasingly crowded field of small, 'point and shoot' 7 megapixel cameras from most of the major players, and goes head-to-head with popular models such as Canon's SD500 and Sony's P150/P200. So does the latest Coolpix have what it takes to stand out in an increasingly competitive market? A quick glance at the headline specification certainly looks promising:

7MP resolution
3x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens with ED elements (38-114mm equiv.)
In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
D-Lighting (in-camera shadow lightening)
Post-shot Blur Warning
16 scene modes
14MB internal memory
640x480 pixel, 30fps movie mode
Best Shot Selector - takes a series of shots and chooses the sharpest for you
White Balance and exposure bracketing
Available in silver or black (not all countries)
