ACCESSORIES FOR NIKON P900 ISO
There are buttons for self-timer and Wi-Fi but not continuous mode, ISO speed or white balance. There are a reasonable number of buttons, but they’re not assigned to the functions you might expect. The chunky handgrip means one-handed operation is comfortable but it isn't ideal for keeping the camera steady – a particularly important concern for telephoto shooting. I had to resort to cupping my eye with my left hand while holding the camera with my right. The electronic viewfinder has a reasonable 921,000-dot resolution, but the view is quite small and the insubstantial surround doesn’t block out sunlight sufficiently. There’s no RAW support and no hotshoe for flashguns and other accessories. It includes some handy features, such as an articulated screen, built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, but the upmarket features quickly run dry. It’s still a bulky bit of glass, though, and the P900 as a whole is bigger and heavier than most consumer SLRs. Nikon Coolpix P900 review: Design and layout Achieving sharp focus across the enormous 83x zoom range can't be easy. However, it also places high demands on the quality of the optics. That’s handy because it keeps the size down – on a full-frame camera, a true 2,000mm lens would be about the size of a small car. The lens actually has a focal length range of 4.3-357mm, but because it’s focusing light onto a much smaller area, it behaves like a 24-2,000mm lens on a full-frame camera.
That way, the lens dimensions can also be reduced. The P900 uses a small 1/2.3in sensor, the same as is found in cheap compact cameras. Two things dictate the effective zoom range of a camera: the lens and the sensor onto which it focuses light. So was this camera conceived through Nikon R&D engineering excellence, or a demand from the marketing department to produce an enormous zoom regardless of quality? Record-breaking specs don’t always produce a well-rounded camera, however. Nikon Coolpix P900 review: How did they make it so big? The Panasonic DC-FZ80, meanwhile, costs £120 less yet offers nearly as monstrous a zoom as the P900 at 60x. The Nikon Coolpix B500, for instance, is less than half the price at £219, yet still produces perfectly acceptable snaps and offers a usable zoom range of 40x. It's worth noting, though, that at £449 inc VAT it's quite pricey for this type of camera. Nothing else is quite like it nothing even comes close, in fact. That enormous zoom lens ensures that the P900 stands alone in the bridge camera market.

Other key specifications include the ability to capture 16-megapixel images and 1080p video, and the camera also has a 3in articulated screen on the rear. That's the same size as you'll find in cheap compact cameras and modern smartphones. That zoom is the headline feature of course, but aside from that, what does the Nikon Coolpix P900 offer? Essentially, the P900 is what's commonly referred to as a “Bridge” camera in the industry, because it sits in-between traditional compacts and SLRs.Īs with other bridge cameras, it has a big zoom – the biggest around, in this case – and although shaped like an SLR, it has only a small 1/2.3in image sensor.

Indeed, its 83x zoom range is equivalent to 24-2,000mm on a full frame camera, so it can stretch from wide-angle vistas to pictures of the moon filling the whole frame. The Nikon P900 was first announced in 2015 but it still holds the title of the longest zoom range on a consumer camera.
