Coolpix P90

The Cool pix P90 is a camera that comes with a great quality of zoom both digital and manual. The features cannot be beat but it is not something you want to take on a long backpacking trip. It requires batteries that need to be recharged and will not last long. You would be required to pack in a solar panel and charger that would add weight and volume to your pack. This camera is resistant to water but really takes up a huge amount of space in your pack. I suggest something more packable and durable for the every day hiker.
 " When I was in the Yukon a buddy of mine had an expensive camera and packed it around. If you want high quality photos then it may be worth the extra weight but make sure you protect your investment with a pelican case."
 Personally I think that a camera that can last long on one charge and also take AA batteries is far more convenient for long backpacking trips. Overall Tough gear Grade: C
