The Nikon Coolpix P900 is a delightful camera to use. It excels in the defining feature for this class of camera - optical zoom - not just by boasting the biggest spec, but also by offering the crisp optics and superior image stabilization that are required to make the feature useful.

Longest zoom range; Excellent image stabilization; Good overall photo quality; Fares well in low light; Clear electronic viewfinder

Details sometimes appear a bit soft; Quite bulky and heavy; Pricey; Lacks RAW image capture

Nikon's P900 currently leads the market for optical zoom range, with its 83x ratio equating to 24-2000mm in 35mm terms. Nikon claims this allows you to see things not visible to the human eye - such as details on the surface of the moon.

Great Bridge Camera with awesome zoom capabilities upto83x combined good service by snap deal

I had nikon p510 decided to upgrade to nikon p900 ; Though i know canon is also hinting on sx70 but looks like a long wait ; With this one it's no miss ; Got what I expected , taking you close to nature with massive zoom 83x combine with wifi .

Build is good, gives a good grip and u feel like holding an SLR; I bought it for the zoom and I got exactly what I wanted..; Zoom is incredible!!!!....; I shot stuff 2 kms away from my terrace with full zomm and the image stabilization is very good, as good as my SLR.

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.

Farthest zoom reach for a fixed lens camera (2000mm eq.); Good image quality for its class; Good vibration reduction; Fast aperture at wide angle (f/2.8); Excellent value for the price

No RAW file recording; Limited capabilities in low light, including struggling with autofocus; Lens not as sharp at full tele end; No hot shoe

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.

Nikon debuts a compact camera with a huge zoom--and it's a pretty solid shooter.

83x optical zoom; Excellent macro mode; Viewfinder and tilting LCD; Bright f/2.8-6.5 lens

No quick menu; Noise reduction could be improved; Images less sharp at full zoom; Autofocus not available in video

This is a terrific point-and-shoot camera with a massive zoom, a bit larger and heavier than I would prefer but definitely an excellent buy because of the $100 discount.

After a brief time; this camera seems to be nearly ideal with its 86-power zoom and high quality

I was looking or a smaller, lighter camera but settled on this because of the price and quality; Don't need that big a zoom, but most less-expensive smaller cameras did not have a viewfinder, which I believe is necessary especially for one with a large zoom

What a fantastic camera! Extremely easy to get up and running, but it will take a while to get accustomed to the finer details, as with any camera. The focal length capability is phenomenal.

Easy to use; Compact; Build quality; Battery life; Screen size

Good product . Thats what i needed. Thank god didnt get dslr because such zoom range was impossible on dslr. Images at full zoom are like cell phone quality although at 500 mm zoom images are sharper

Go for it unless you are a professional because it is fine for amateurs and gives great pictures. Remember to use a tripod when zooming beyond 125 mm unless you have extremely steady hands.

Maximum zoom (83) in its class; simply awesome

Lack of external microphone jack; no hot shoe; no RAW
