The Nikon Coolpix P90 features 15 frames per second shooting (it will shoot at this rate for 45 shots in a row – it’ll even start recording images before you hit the shutter release when in sports mode!) as well as ISO of up to 6400. it also has motion detection (to detect if your subject is moving and automatic adjustment of the shutter speed and ISO to compensate).

It also has the usual raft of ‘modes’ including ‘smile mode’, enhanced face priority and blink detection.
