Camera was as described.But battery life ends quickly if you use zoom too often. I advise you to buy extra batteries. Ovearll I am satisfied. Shipping time was also great.

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

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

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.

83x zoom lens; Excellent image stabilization system; Full manual controls; Eye-level EVF; Vari-angle LCD; Quick autofocus; In-camera GPS and Wi-Fi; 1080p60 video capture

Detail suffers at moderate ISOs; No Raw support; Long recovery times after burst shooting; Large and heavy; No hot shoe; External charger not included

Zoom is great for video

Horrible Image Quality and Zoom simply makes it worse

Love this camera; This is the second of these I have bought; My wife stepped on the strap and pulled it out of her hand and smashed the first one so I bought a second immediately; It is that good! The zoom is incredible and we can't go back to a lesser camera now

The only thing missing is a rubber eye piece; I'm hoping that the new model will remedy this

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.

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.

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 has a decent electronic viewfinder, flip-out rotating high-resolution LCD, manual and semimanual shooting modes and built-in Wi-Fi and GPS.

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.
