Over 3 years and I still love it
I *love* this camera.
I've had it for over 3 years and got it when I decided I wanted nicer pictures, and more control over those pictures - but at the same time didn't really want to go through the hassle of learning and the cost of getting a DSLR.
Before getting this camera I found that every year I felt like I wanted a newer or better camera, and I've yet to feel the urge to replace this one.
People are constantly asking me what kind of camera I use, and I am always more than happy to tell them and then to point them to the newer available models.
Oh and battery life - mine is awesome. I use it for long periods of time all the time and I so rarely have to charge the battery that I often forget to when it actually does die.
The one con I can think of - it is really hard to get good pictures using the flash. They almost always turn out just eh.

Great camera, stunningly short battery life
Love this camera. Very versatile, lots of features and great photos.
I've missed literally thousands of shots waiting for the battery to recharge... Because it's ALWAYS in need of recharging.
Come on Nikon, you can do better than this.

Outstanding
As a photo guide in Alaska I have used this camera under some of the most grueling condition mother nature can handle such as sub zero temps well below the rated zone. This camera responded flawlessly sure it slowed down and the battery life shortened the P90 gave me the results I wanted, sharp and true to life images.
The P90 is with me at all times and has provided some stunning photos even after after a few good hits. After 9000 photos it still reacts like new.
One surprise was the black and white mode, it has a tendacy to shoot towards the flat side but with some tweeking its workable. One use of this camera is taking test shots for my 4x5 the images are enough to use them as guide photos.
The P90 is built to nikons high standards and will continue using it, its a nice addition to my collection of nikon gear.

This product was good
I was given this camera as a gift from my parents last summer (July 2010). It worked great, took amazing photos, was practical. About 11 months into my ownership of this camera, I began having lens problems. I take amazing care of my cameras, and at first the problem was infrequent. Then over the next couple months it began happening more frequently. The lens would come out and retract over and over again until I pulled the battery (the power button would not work). If I left the camera for a day or so, it would begin working properly again. Sometimes it would go weeks without doing it then it would come back again. I don't use my camera everyday or even every week so it had time of rest before this last time that I took it out and I was able to take one photo before the lens began acting up and this time it wasn't stopping. I let it sit for days and finally took it home to my dad who then had to mail it back to be fixed for some $100+. This camera is a year and a half old. It failed less than a year and a half after its purchase. My dad has been using Nikon film products since he was a teenager and has come to expect excellence in all their products, as have I. I am very disappointed in this situation and with this product.

Only when you have selected the Time-Lapse Movie option is that no sound will be recorded. Please see page # 82 of the user's manual for the COOLPIX P90.
My Windows XP machine has no problems recognizing the P90, but I cannot get the Windows 7 PC to recognize it. It doesn't find any drivers. Where do I get the drivers and software?
