Nikon COOLPIX P900 Digital Camera with 83x Optical Zoom and Built-In Wi-Fi(Black) with Universal Camera Strap with Quick Release System

Having just returned from a trip to Colorado where I used this camera extensively in Rocky Mtn National Park, I can state that I absolutely love it. For my purposes, there couldnt have been a better choice. I love to photograph beautiful scenery and wildlife, and this camera worked extremely well. My co-workers were very impressed with the photographs that I took, so much so that two of them are also interested in buying this camera. For action shots, I cant say what it will do, because the most action I saw was a herd of bighorn sheep grazing a mountainside, a moose wading and eating in a shallow lake, deer and elk that were mostly grazing and some baby great horned owls in their nest with heads turning back and forth. I didnt buy it to take action shots. As for the WiFi capability, meh. I didnt buy it for that either and its a darn good thing, because I couldnt ever get that to work. A lot of people were complaining on the app store about the app not working since they did an update, so maybe thats the problem, and it will hopefully be resolved for those who like to share photos via Facebook. I dont do that anyway. I mainly wanted a camera that had a powerful zoom and this one has it. I wanted one that didnt force me to haul around a case full of lenses, and this one fits that bill as well. It does everything that I need it to do. If it doesnt hold up, or if I find things about it that I dont like, Ill update later. For now, Im totally pleased.

One is not going to get top picture quality with any super-zoom camera, but this one delivers really nice photos. It is a bit heavy, but I feel that reflects its quality. Seems very sturdy. With a comfortable strap, I am having no problem carrying it around. (I ditched quickly the included strap.) The features are easy to use and, best of all, excellent telephoto capabilities without having to haul around a forklift to raise the heavy, heavy zoom lenses that attach to my 35mm. I tried out a 200-500 mm lens and it was only for the very strong and very dedicated! Note: I rejected the Coolpix P1000 for the very reason I did not keep the zoom telephoto lens. Photography to me should be fun, and hauling around a lot of weight is not convenient or fun. This P900 is exactly what I needed.

Love the quality, ease of use, and the zoom is sick!! So many peeps ask me how $$$$ it is... the zoom alone is so worth it. You can also turn on the wifi on cam and use the nikon app to take pictures remotely, and zoom in and out focus remotely. Also can transfer pix to your phone ipad while out on location and then upload them to Facebook or Instagram from your device! So cool. These pics are the proof of the crazy amazing zoom. Still have yet to try with tripod. the circled bits are where the next pic is fully zoomed in on. amazing!!

I LOVE THIS CAMERA ! I was looking for a zoom camera which would be easy to carry with me hiking and I scored with this purchase. It is light enough not to be a burden to carry and does everything I could hope for ( and many features I am still discovering after 6 months) The zoom is AMAZING ! I totally recommend this camera to an amateur like me who is looking for a lot of camera for a reasonable price. The attached pictures show the tree where the eagle was sitting across the river ( sorry it is sideways) and the eagle zoomed in without the use of a tripod.

This is my first camera. I have had it for 8 weeks now. Previously I took pix with the iPod 5 and instamatics. I have had no camera/photo courses. I did get Alexander Whites book Photographers Guide to the Nikon Coolpix P900, and a couple books from the Snapshots to Great Shots series. This camera is a dream for a beginner! It is a dream for someone who doesnt need raw format or huge sensors, doesnt want to spend thousands (are you really gonna NEED that much camera and lens?), and still wants versatility and extraordinary potential. The camera was easy to use from day one. The first thing I did was use it on fully automatic. 24 hours later stopped using auto and started exploring the possibilities. There IS a learning curve if you have never used a camera with the features of a DSLR, or if you have never used a Nikon. I am enjoying the learning. I have a long, long way to go. The point is you have instant access and some many places to go with this camera. It has not failed to do ANYTHING I asked it to do within reason. It has enough intelligence built in to help me when I am puzzled about what to do. Ill let the camera make a decision about metering, or aperture, or shutter speed, or white balance, etc, and then modify it to my liking. I dont always have to start from ground zero. With eight weeks of experience, that makes a huge difference!!!! I take it everywhere I go. So far I have only used it hand held, and half of the pictures you will see attached I took out the window of my car. You do not have to be a camera or a tech wizard to use this device. It is pretty intuitive, and can be set to give quick access to menu items that might feel buried. And, oh yeah, if you want to catch pix of the creatures around you...that 2000 mm lens is mind blowing. It will take some work to really learn to use it, but wow, youll love it.
