Nikon Coolpix P900
The 83X optical zoom on the Nikon Coolpix P900 is far ahead of the competition, covering an ultra-wide 24mm to a super-telephoto 2000mm focal-length, besting not only other ultra-zoom but also any lens on the market, even when considering crop-factor!
Pros:
- Smooth usable output until ISO 1600
- Very consistent image sharpness
- Highly effective optical image stabilization
- Virtually no chromatic aberrations
- Very low optical distortion
- Dual control-dials and zoom controllers
- Generally quick and responsive
- Good overall handling
- Great LCD visibility,...
Cons:
- Slight image softness from base ISO
- Details smudged from ISO 800
- Below average color and WB accuracy
- Dim telephoto aperture noticeably slows AF
- Unresponsive while writing
- 1s delay when starting video capture
- Not usually Exposure-Priority
- Slow access to ISO
- Tiny low-contrast EVF
- Poor tripod...

Nikon Coolpix P900 Review: Extreme Close-Up!
The Nikon Coolpix P900 is a delightful camera to use. It excels in the defining feature for this class of camera - optical zoom - not just by boasting the biggest spec, but also by offering the crisp optics and superior image stabilization that are required to make the feature useful.
Pros:
- Longest zoom range
- Excellent image stabilization
- Good overall photo quality
- Fares well in low light
- Clear electronic viewfinder
Cons:
- Details sometimes appear a bit soft
- Quite bulky and heavy
- Pricey
- Lacks RAW image capture

CAMERA IS NICE, THE REST IS GARBAGE.
The camera is nice, but is available elsewhere for less. Problems: 1. This is an international model, comes with the warranty card removed from the box. 2. The accessory bundle that comes with it is completely worthless, except for the UV filter that I use as lens protector. 2a.

Another bird image
I wrote one of the first reviews for the P900 camera, with two images attached, a cruising jet and a sparrow portrait. Unfortunately, the sparrow image disappeared, I don't know when and why. to replace it, I'm attaching a recent image of a Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris), handheld, at the telephoto end.

Love it
I love this camera . I use this everyday and it amazes me . Of course at full zoom its difficult to focus unless its on a tripod and picture quality is average but to be honest you have to expect it for ￡500 with a zoon of this size.
Pros:
- Durable
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Not too bulky
- Simple Controls
- That zoom
Cons:
- Slow focus
- Unsteady focus at full zoom

The first Coolpix P900 I bought on 4/23/2018 for the Pink Concert the next day. It took great long distant photos. But all the videos had a loud distorted sound over the videos. My daughter post the videos on youtube. I took my nikon L820 and the videos I took came out great.

This is NOT a toy, enjoy!
At first look it's like a p510 on steroids! Then the fun begins. The zoom of over 80x is stunning, smooth and clear. I think that the digital zoom becomes irrelevant. The new style screen is great, with flexible positioning..

Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera - P900 P900 BLACK review
It's not the best megazoom around, but the Nikon Coolpix P900's lens is remarkable and if you need the most zoom on a compact camera, it's the winner.
Pros:
- The Nikon Coolpix P900 features an unmatched 83x zoom lens allowing you to use it for just about anything from close-ups and landscapes to portraits to birding and wildlife photography.
Cons:
- It lacks features more advanced users might want like raw image capture, a hot shoe and mic jack
- Images are soft and lack fine detail when fully zoomed in
- The autofocus system can be hit or miss and is slow to focus in low light
- The lens does make it heavy compared to other megazooms.

Nikon Coolpix P900 review: Unprecedented zoom range, but unremarkable photo quality
It's not the best megazoom around, but the Nikon Coolpix P900's lens is remarkable and if you need the most zoom on a compact camera, it's the winner. The word "whopping" doesn't really do justice to the zoom range on the Nikon Coolpix P900.
Pros:
- The Nikon Coolpix P900 features an unmatched 83x zoom lens allowing you to use it for just about anything from close-ups and landscapes to portraits to birding and wildlife photography
- It has a decent electronic viewfinder, flip-out rotating high-resolution LCD, manual and semimanual shooting modes and built-in Wi-Fi and GPS.
Cons:
- It lacks features more advanced users might want like raw image capture, a hot shoe and mic jack
- Images are soft and lack fine detail when fully zoomed in
- The autofocus system can be hit or miss and is slow to focus in low light
- The lens does make it heavy compared to other megazooms.
