Got this camera for my daughter who claimed she can see the moon's craters... It's true! This Xmas gift was a home run.

Bought looked good and easy to use.love it

Technically impressive and capable of good results, but it isn't easy to achieve them

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;

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 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 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.

Have superzooms gone too far? Nikon doesn't think so

The word "whopping" doesn't really do justice to the zoom range on the Nikon Coolpix P900.

Nikon turned a few heads when it announced the Coolpix P900 ($599.95), a large superzoom with an unfathomable 83x lens. It can capture wide angle scenes and zoom far—very, very far—to capture distant objects. It's a great idea for a camera, and one that works fairly well, but it's not without a couple of issues. There's some pretty aggressive noise reduction going on with its 16-megapixel images, which limits the detail the lens can muster at moderate ISOs, and the camera is unresponsive during burst shooting. If you value zoom above all else, and take care to keep the ISO settings low, the P900 is a solid choice. But our favorite superzoom is still the Canon PowerShot SX60 HS ($479.00 at eBay) . Design and FeaturesMost superzooms are big, but the P900 ($599.95 at Dell)  is exceptionally large. At 4.1 by 5.5 by 5.5 inches (HWD) and 2 pounds, it's larger and heavier than some SLRs with a kit lens attached. But a kit lens isn't going to give you the same type of reach as the P900. T...

The Nikon Coolpix P900 boasts the longest zoom range of any camera on the market, but a lack of detail at higher ISOs holds it back.
