Nikon's 2005 mid-range compact — 5.1MP 1/1.8-inch CCD, 3x 38-114mm zoom, 2-inch LCD, EN-EL5 power, SD storage.

The Nikon Coolpix 5900 was a 5-megapixel compact announced at the PMA show in February 2005, the near-identical sibling of the 7-megapixel Coolpix 7900. It slotted into the mid-range of Nikon's compact line, replacing the Coolpix 5200 with a similar wedge-shaped metal-fronted body and Nikon's scene-mode-driven interface.

It pairs a 5.1-megapixel 1/1.8-inch CCD with a 3x Zoom-Nikkor covering a 38-114mm equivalent range. Images are composed on a 2.0-inch LCD, files are stored on SD cards, and power comes from a rechargeable EN-EL5 lithium-ion battery rated for roughly 270 shots per charge. Sixteen scene modes handle common situations, and continuous shooting runs at about 2fps.

The 5900 suits anyone wanting a period-correct mid-2000s CCD compact for casual shooting. The larger-than-average 1/1.8-inch sensor for its class gives pleasing colour in good light, but there is no image stabilisation and high-ISO performance is limited, so it favours daylight and flash-range indoor work over low-light use.

Used examples depend on the EN-EL5 battery — packs and chargers remain easy to find as the cell served many Coolpix models, but verify the included battery still holds charge. SD card compatibility is limited to smaller-capacity cards on cameras of this era, so a modest SD (not SDXC) card is safest. Check the lens extends without grinding, the LCD is unmarked, and the CCD shows no hot pixels.
