The Nikon Coolpix 995 is a 3.1 megapixel digital camera announced by the Nikon Corporation in April 2001 (introduced in July). The body is in two halves, with a swivel joint between them, so that the LCD screen can be angled for convenient viewfinding. Settings are shown on a second display on the top panel. The power/mode switch is around the shutter release; zooming is controlled by two buttons which fall under the right thumb. Focus and exposure can be automatic, but there is manual override; above the zoom buttons is a wheel for manually adjusting these settings. On the right-hand end is a door giving access to the CompactFlash card, and a rubber cover hiding the USB and video connectors.

The 995 is an upgraded Coolpix 990, adding a flip-up flash (to reduce red-eye; the 990 flash was very close to the lens), a faster shutter (1/2300), noise reduction and support for a more sophisticated, rechargeable battery instead of the 990's AA cells. The case has a plastic shell, in place of the 990's alloy castings - and generally gives a more bulky impression. Retained from the 990 are the control layout and the tiny, flimsy USB connector.

  • Lens: 8-32mm (4x zoom), f2.6-5.1
  • Shutter speed: 8-1/2300s (+B up to 60s)
  • ISO range: 100-800

  • Power: EN-EL1 battery or external AC supply
  • Storage: CompactFlash (I or II)
  • Self-timer: 3 or 10 secs

There was a version with a purple insert in the finger grip, in place of the red one shown here.
