The Nikon P900 was announced back in 2015 and remains to this day the holder of the world's biggest zoom on a consumer camera. Its 83x zoom range is equivalent to 24-2,000mm on a full-frame camera and can stretch from wide-angle vistas to pictures of the moon filling the frame.

Reasonable sharpness over a huge zoom range; Wi-Fi and GPS

The 2000mm zoom position is unwieldy; Too much reliance on menu navigation; Odd automatic ISO settings

I bought this camera last month, it exceed all my expectations. Loooveeeee the zoom. Then I took photo of the full moon and voila!, I was in heaven. I don't have to crop my photos anymore. it stay as it is, it's original size. Very very happy.

Good quality photos. Stability at full expansion very good. Not too heavy. Eyepiece viewing makes for easier shooting. Full of interesting features including manual capability.

I am a Nikon user and have a D800 with an 80-400 mm lens that I use for bird watching. One of the issues is that my camera with lens was very heavy while out in the field. A friend recommended trying the COOLPIX P900. It was so light and the pictures are incredible.

The price of this camera is now coming down with the release of the Nikon P1000, successor to this camera. However the approximately $1,000 AUD difference in price between the too seems to suggest that the Nikon P900 is now great value with most of the capability of the new one.

Mashable Choice highlights the best of everything we cover, have experienced first-hand and would recommend to others. 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 superzoom bridge camera from Nikon is ideal if you're on a budget. Though its 1/2.3in sensor may not provide the best image quality in class, its 83x optical zoom lens gives you a 35mm equivalent focal length of 24-2000mm with a variable aperture of f/2.8-6.5.

I've wanted this camera for a while now. I finally got it. It's meeting all my expectations

When marketing its latest Coolpix P900, Nikon is very clear on its main selling point. With its zoom lens' long reach, this camera will come in handy if you want a relatively portable shooter that still lets you capture subjects at distance.

This is a difficult camera to review in a way that makes it clear who it is suitable for. My background is like an amateur photographer for a number of years back. I mostly use a full-format camera which, of course, is in a completely different league.
