Although the camera has the quality expected from Nikon, it was a lot bigger and heavier than expected. After using it only a couple of times, it failed to download pictures to my laptop and would not respond to any "fixes". I decided to return it and purchase an alternative (Canon), which is much more compact and a lot lighter and more comfortable to use.
Ian RogersonI normally used a Canon 80D and thought I would give this a go because of its long lens capabilities, but sadly it was not for me, I found, the camera very soft on focus. If you are looking for an all round carry one kit piece I am sure this would suit, but for me it did not work out.
Mrs. K. A. SkippKeen photographers of wildlife and the night sky will be delighted by the Nikon COOLPIX P900, which boasts an incredible 83x optical zoom, capturing details not visible to the naked eye
The astonishingly ultra-high-power optical zoom covers from 24mm to 2000mm and is extendable to 4000mm with Dynamic Fine Zoom, bringing the natural world closer than ever before and recording it in fine detail in both stills and Full HD movies. The large calibre f/2.8-f/6.5 bright lens is able to deliver crystal clear image definition at high resolution even when zoomed all the way out to 2000mm telephoto (35mm format equivalent).
Reaction time is fast, with high-speed AF and a reduced shooting time lag, plus hand-held telephoto shooting is exceptionally stable, thanks to the highly-evolved Dual Detect Optical VR (Vibration Reduction) which gives extremely effective blur reduction, equivalent to shooting at a 5.0-stop higher shutter speed2. This new high-performance VR improves vibration absorption by detecting movements from the lens (angular velocity sensor) and from the imaging sensor (motion vector information) simultaneously, enabling more accurate calculation of the amount of image blur and achieving greatly enhanced vibration reduction performance.
Flexible composition for fast-changing subjects is made effortless with the large 7.5-cm/3-in 921k-dot vari-angle LCD monitor (RGBW), plus the built-in electronic viewfinder makes it simple to alternate shooting styles, as an eye sensor automatically switches from display shooting when your eye gets close to the viewfinder.
Shooting locations can be tracked with pinpoint accuracy, as built-in GPS/GLONASS/QZSS international satellite systems provide fast and detailed information, wherever you travel around the world.
Sharing superb images is instantaneous with built-in Wi-Fi and NFC support, made simple by using the one-touch Wi-Fi button or just tapping the NFC-enabled camera to a smart device.
Shoot a level of detail you'd never thought possible with the 83x optical zoom, extendable to 166x Dynamic Fine Zoom, with a fast reaction time due to rapid AF and reduced shooting time lag. Never lose a fast-moving subject in the wild, thanks to a Snap-back zoom button next to the zoom control that will instantly help you recapture your subject by taking you back to wide-angle focus. Flexible composition with the large 7.5-cm/3-in vari-angle monitor - and the built-in electronic viewfinder - helps to adapt to challenging shooting situations, while smooth hand-held shooting for both stills and Full HD movies (1080/60p) is guaranteed with 5.0-stop Dual Detect Optical VR compensating for camera shake even at full ultra-telephoto. Full HD movies come with high-quality directional sound, as the Zoom microphone changes direction to match the operation of the zoom.
All the data needed to log your shooting locations is provided instantly and accurately via built-in GPS/GLONASS/QZSS support, no matter where you travel around the globe. Images can be shared instantly while you're on your travels too, courtesy of built-in Wi-Fi and NFC support, which makes staying social simple - just use the one-touch Wi-Fi button or tap the NFC-enabled camera to a smart device.
