About this model
The Nikon COOLPIX P900 is a bridge camera built around an extraordinary 83x optical zoom lens. It covers a 24mm wide-angle view through to a 2000mm equivalent telephoto, letting you photograph distant wildlife, aircraft and the moon without changing lenses. A 16-megapixel CMOS sensor and EXPEED image processor deliver detailed stills and Full HD video, while Dual Detect VR helps steady the long end of the zoom. The 3-inch vari-angle screen and electronic viewfinder make framing flexible, and built-in Wi-Fi with NFC lets you transfer images to a phone. It is a practical all-in-one for travel and nature photography where carrying several lenses is not an option.
