First, the negatives:
For the serious photographer, it is of course disturbing that the camera controls no RAW format and has no accessory shoe. Personally, I do not mind. I miss here rather a lens hood and a fastening strap on the lens cap. An external battery charger possibly would also be nice. There is no CD, the complete manual is only downloaded from the Internet.
More negative I could not find at first.
Now for the positives:
The menu structure and the operation is not quite as intuitive as with my Lumix, but definitely still be assessed as well. The features in the menu (for example, switch off the multi-pattern metering when focusing, artificial horizon, etc.) leave nothing to be desired. The scene / program modes (eg birds, moon, panorama programs) are very useful and practical. WiFi, GPS, are indeed a gimmick, but a nice for me. More interesting is that the lateral push button can also be used for manual focusing. A filter thread (67 mm) is also available. The foldable display makes taking pictures just above the ground or over fences and people away easily. And then of course there's the zoom factor
But now the most important, the picture quality:
Although I (compared to 150 FZ) was skeptical because of the additional megapixels, I was pleasantly surprised. The images have less interference fringes, etc. than the Lumix. Especially the faces and faces have less texture mud be viewed with formation of small blocks, if you zoom (I always shoot at the highest resolution / image quality). The color is also very realistic. In direct comparison, the P900 makes images even at night a good figure. In wide-angle range, but seem rather to act as converging lines at the FZ 150th
In summary, the P900 is for me an advance on my previous bridge cameras and I do not regret the purchase.
