Nikon Coolpix 995

The Nikon Coolpix 995 is a classic 3.34-megapixel digital camera famous for its split-body swivel design, allowing the lens and flash to rotate independently of the LCD screen. This ergonomics makes it highly effective for macro photography and shooting from unusual angles. It features a 4x optical zoom lens and is compatible with a wide range of Nikon's 'converter' lenses. The magnesium alloy body provides a robust, professional feel. The swivel hinge is the primary area for inspection on the 995; SDS ensures it holds its position firmly without excessive play. We also check the CF card slot pins for damage and test the pop-up flash, which can occasionally stick. Given its age, we verify the condition of the EN-EL1 battery and ensure the CCD sensor provides a clean image, free from the 'hot pixels' sometimes found in early digital sensors.
