I've often wished I had a camera that could go from 24mm to 2000mm at the touch of a button and without being weighed down by a ton of glass. Okay, maybe not all the way to 2000mm and perhaps not in a power zoom, but you get my point. The Nikon Coolpix P900 superzoom (super- duper -zoom?

With unprecedented optical zoom range for a fixed lens camera, extending all the way to a 2000mm eq. optical reach, and with an approachable price tag of $600, the Nikon P900 is a great value for anyone needing extensive zoom range in an all-in-one package.

Nikon Cool Pix P900 is packed full of features that we are still becoming familiar with. Camera takes crisp clear photos, and focuses quite fast when zooming during videoing. Very happy so far. Would like to see it come with carrybag designed to fit camera and the assembled 240 v power source. D

It's all about that lens. There is no way to talk about Nikon's excellent, though occasionally frustrating, Coolpix P900 super zoom camera without first addressing the lens. This wide-angle, telephoto wonder can, at 24mm, pull in a startling amount of visual information.

I have had the P900 for three months. It is better than I had expected. Previously I had a Nikon 1 and really liked that but this is even better. Take a lot of pics of the grandkids in soccer, track, swimming and this is very easy to set multiple pictures so I can get the perfect shot as they are...
