Hi
I have no experience with the Nikon 990 but it reads like a very good camera.
I have a Sony DSC-S70 and like it very much. It take very good pictures both on auto and manual settings. Quite good 15 second moving pictures with sound.
Two comments on the Sony:
(1) Not enough memory on the supplied memory stick ( taking pictures on the best quality setting takes loads of space but is best for editing).
(2) The LCD screen is about useless outside.
