Unleash your inner paparazzo with the world's first bridge camera to feature an 83x optical zoom
Huge zoom range ; Articulating screen ; Inbuilt Wi-Fi and NFC
No raw shooting ; Screen not touch sensitive ; Expensive
The P900 is the longest-zoom bridge camera in the world – for now, at least – but it's also big, heavy and expensive. Image quality at shorter focal lengths is good but falls away at high zooms settings.

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

To call the Nikon Coolpix P900 a superzoom camera wouldn't do it justice. With its 83x optical zoom lens, it has us reaching for our 'mega' or 'ultra' prefixes. It's hardly short on advanced features - there's a 16Mp sensor, full manual controls and...

Or of anything from really, really far away.
Spectacular 83x optical zoom lens ; Great wide-angle shooter ; Great action shooter ; Great price
Convoluted Wi-Fi downloads ; Balky monitor
An amazing super-zoom lens on a good camera and at an amazing price.

It's got a great zoom lens but image quality and speed are not its strong points.

Large and heavy ; Does not offer RAW shooting ; Panoramic images could have more detail ; Tripod position could be better

It might not be the best camera, but if you simply must have the longest zoom lens available for the least amount of money, the P900 wins.

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.
Expert review by : Michael Palmer (steves-digicams.com)
Considering it has a jaw-dropping 83x optical zoom lens, the Nikon Coolpix P900 is an attention-grabbing ultra zoom camera. No camera currently on the market can match the P900's zoom range of 24-2000mm. Unfortunately, this model's image quality is...

Small image sensor measuring 1/2.3-inch ; Image quality and image sharpness just don't match up to other models in this price range ; Low light image quality could be better ; ISO range is limited to 6400 ; ISO performance is well below average versus...
