Performance and Conclusions Nikon has addressed some of the performance issues that plague its P600 , but there's still some work to be done. First, the good news. The P900 starts and captures an in-focus image in about 1.6 seconds when the lens is set...

Largest optical zoom lens on the market in a fixed lens camera at 83x ; Good vibration reduction system allows for hand holding the camera for some scenes, even with zoom fully extended ; Fast autofocus performance at wide angle lens setting ; Good...

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...

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...

Using zoom ratios seems to be the new way to sell cameras where once it was all about the megapixels. Here on the Nikon Coolpix P900 we have an 83x optical zoom, which is currently the market leader. However, to get to that kind of ratio, you need to...

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

The Nikon Coolpix P900 has the longest zoom lens by far in its class and also provides great optics, but they come at a high price.

To be honest, I was surprised by how much I didn't mind shooting with the P900. However, the images—while okay-looking at small sizes—were never really as good as I wanted them to be on closer inspection. I can see how it's appealing for some people to...

Slight image softness from base ISO, Details smudged from ISO 800+, Below average color and WB accuracy, Dim telephoto aperture noticeably slows AF, Unresponsive while writing, 1s delay when starting video capture, Slow access to ISO, Tiny low-contrast...

The 83X optical zoom on the Nikon Coolpix P900 is far ahead of the competition, covering an ultra-wide 24mm to a super-telephoto 2000mm focal-length, besting not only other ultra-zoom but also any lens on the market, even when considering crop-factor!...

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.
