Nikon COOLPIX A900 Digital Camera (Black)

Nikon is the best ever. I’m replacing an older point and shoot with this model as suggested by Nikon. The A900 has so many wonderful features. It’s easy to use and set up. The best feature of all is to be able to send the photos directly to your iPhone right after taking the pictures on the camera. I had no issue setting up SnapBridge. It’s the best camera ever for the price. Fits perfectly in your purse too. The quality photos are just as good as the ones from my D90!

It is a very convenient size camera that performs very well to handle the more difficult photo shots. Its Fstop and Shutter speed settings are very effective in dealing with either low light or movement. Its menu items have momentary text messages presented to explain the function so most of the time you dont have to use the manual. The flash has multiple choices to control the light levels and red eye. The LCD screen has very good resolution and works in all but the brightest situations. The camera lens autofocuses in very low light and is well protected when powered off.

I had a previous model for 3 years when I dropped it and it will no longer zoom. I then looked up the Nikon Coolpix and they said the A900 was the newer version of the camera. It is a great camera. The zoom it better then my 35 mm camera with detachable lens. The picture quality is great. It is small so I can easily put in my purse. The battery lasts for a good while.

when you zoom in & your hand naturally shakes, the shot goes off before the image is in focus. the autofocus is really slow & you miss shots or it comes out blurred. its not light like a cellphone but thats what you get with zoom lenses. its heavier and bulkier than a cell phone but much less than a D3400. I only recommend you get it for traveling on foot such as cities. if you vacation in open country by car, then bring a D3400.

Install Flash Player I am used to carrying huge lens, while obviously we cant expect SLR quality photos, this is pretty good for what it can offer and a great backup camera. Some times my Note 8 photos were better [mostly land scapes]. However if zoom is ur thing and you dont want to carry bulky lens this your camera. I will attach some samples, recomend using it to decide. All are handheld photos / videos so there will be shake. You cannot use it for photos all day as it uses display but you can charge it using a powerbank so pretty nifty that way. Attaching a video of heli landing at a distance to give you an idea of how much it can zoom. Reduces resolution from 4k check screen shot of the same.

I just got this camera today and I am very excited. I compared this to the Canon powershot but liked this one more because of the flexible screen and functionality. I just got back from a europe viking river cruise and took my Nikon 3100 DSL camera and a couple zoom lens plus my movie camera and small pocket camera. I wanted a solution that had movie functionality as well a a great zoom and smaller size. I played with this all afternoon today and loved it. It took great pictures. I also liked the zoom button that takes you out of zoom mode for a couple seconds so you can line up the picture and then it goes back to the previous zoom position you were at. When I used the video the voice over I did from behind the camera was not very loud at playback. This may be a setting I need to change but havent figured out yet. Please note the included charger plugs directly into the camera. I also order a vivitar outlet wall charger and two additional batteries and will keep them as backup in my camera bag.

I am a serious photographer and have been such since the year 2000. Although I travel with and shoot with a big Nikon D 7100 for important photos, I have used a small, compact Nikon Coolpix S8200 camera for fun and to sneak a small, but very good, camera into concerts and performances that do not allow photography. As a result, I have been able to take GREAT pictures, and some videos (at a distance of 200+ feet) of Cher, Santana, Eric Clapton, Andrea Bocelli, In Volo, and other celebrities. The S 8200 is a 16 MP camera and has a 14X zoom (4.5 - 63mm) and has served me VERY well for a camera that--at the time--cost less than $300.00 and is small, came with a handy leather case, and captures images almost as sharp and with the accurate colors as my big Nikon D7100! Then, about a month ago, I saw the Coolpix A900 on the Nikon website and decided to upgrade to a better small compact camera. I was NOT disappointed! The A900 is just as good (in terms of sharpness and color accuracy) and is only slightly larger than the S8200 but has more megapixels (20 MP) and more zoom (4.3 - 151mm) with almost the same aperture range as the S8200. Additionally, the A900 has WiFi and Bluetooth capability and, after downloading the free Nikon app, I can set my A900 to send my images to my iPhone in the event that I want to instantly send a picture to someone (but, obviously a better image than I could have captured with my iPhones 8 MP, tiny lens camera) without waiting until Im in front of my home computer or laptop in my hotel room (when traveling) to send as an email attachment. The only thing that I wish the A900 has that my S8200 has, is the ability to easily see the metadata of an imageat the push of a dial, and the ability of the S8200 to automatically raise the flash when the camera is set to automatic; Im not sure that I like the fact that I have to manually raise the flash on the A900 if I need to use flash, although, in a way I like the fact that I do not have to remember that my A900 camera will accidentally flash if Ive forgotten that I had left it in either automatic or force flash mode (like with the S8200). The A900 does, however, have some very nice features that my Coolpix S8200 lacks: If I have captured an image in portrait orientation, I can see it at its full length when reviewing an image simply by turning the camera sideways (as I would with any other digital camera) , but I can still view the SAME image (albeit smaller) without having to turn the camera sideways. I also really like the fact that the A900 has a moveable LCD screen that enables me to take pictures from down low next to the ground to over my head, while viewing what the lens is seeing from a comfortable position. All in all, I really like my Nikon Coolpix A900 camera BETTER than my great Coolpix S8200 and will be sneaking it into future concerts that also forbid taking pictures or videos! (SUGGESTION: Why doesnt Nikon make a similar camera with a small viewfinder and a way of turning OFF the LCD screen on the back of the camera? I say this because, when I try to surreptitiously take photos in a darkened environment, the bright LCD is annoying to others sitting behind me, and, it is a dead give-away (while sitting in a concert where I am taking photos or videos) to the staff in a performance venue who will run over to me and tell me to put my camera away!)

Been using it for a few weeks now; took it on a few expeditions with exemplary results. The different settings work well; programmable options work as promised, and the scene settings have been very useful. Photos average about 8.7 MB each so be prepared to have an extra memory card if shooting for extended periods of time. 4K video fills up the memory very quickly as well. Positioning the screen has a smooth but sturdy feel to it. Notches on either of the top corners are available for wrist straps or a neck strap. Only real caution is the flash feels a little flimsy; take care while it is extended. Despite that, would definitely recommend. Posted are a few of the photos I have taken so far.

I have used many many Nikon and Canon point and shoots over the years. This Camera has a flaw. Handheld or on a tripod with or without timer, at moderate to full zoom, this camera cannot hold the framed image. If a subject is centered when you take a picture the subject is in a corner of the image. I have to spray and pray in order to get my subject properly centered. This never happened on my S9900, S6500, AW110 or P510. I could always HANDHOLD the full zoom and get my subject properly framed. I take a lot of images (200,000 plus per year) and I am very hard on cameras (went through at least 10 S6500s loved them but wanted higher zoom) and I think I may need to replace this with something other than a Nikon. I also wish it had a fully movable screen like the S9900 and that it did not get rid of GPS embedding like the S9900.

This camera is very good for the price. It takes clear pictures and good in low light. With any digital camera the further out you zoom the less clear the picture becomes. If you want super duper crystal clear pictures then spend the money and buy a better (more expensive) camera or get a tripod. Also if you plan on taking low light pictures without a flash then you should also be using a tripod. I keep a mini poseable tripod with me at all times. Ive used this camera in all light settings and havent been disappointed. I had the s7000 for 2 days before I returned it and got this one. As for SnapBridge, I too was having connection problems. I think I figured it out. Once youre done with transferring your pictures unpair the camera from the SnapBridge app. Youll have to pair every time but it seems to work every time.
