    It sure was. I bought  one a few years back when they were $999. It
    took splendid macro shots until it got knocked off of my coffee
    table and broke in half. That was my only problem with it;
    mechanically fragile. You aren't likely to find a CoolPix 900, they
    haven't been made for some time now. 

    My boss recently got a Sony DSC-P200 for jewelry photos. It sports
    7.2 megapixels and Zeiss optics, an unbeatable combination.
    Especially for the price range of $399 US (or less, if you search
    the Internet). Many other digital cameras do a nice job, too. If
    you're in the US, visit a Best Buy and look them all over...they
    don't mind if you play with them.
