Customer Review

There will always be reviews how: Stay away - bad pictures, a lot of noise, no details, zoom unusable, etc ..
But what you are buying with the Nikon Coolpix P900? I have the camera for the past 2 weeks. My first test in short version.

Fact: fässt good. Great, not too heavy. Clean design. Important: It is factory turned only the optical Antiwackler. To use the Double Anti Shake, it must be turned on. For video Auto Focus is - must also be turned on. Lightning - just by pressing a button. Off timer. Next.
The button to turn the camera is - crap! Approximately 4mm small and "embedded" in the case above, not raised or formed as a right button, rather than the sensor spot. But can one live with. On time - very fast. Almost immediately ready to fire. Focusing time in light as in the dark, super fast! And very accurate! So Regarding these 2 points, Nikon has not promised too much. As for the focus, this is my EOS 40D with USM - lens into the shade! The picture quality is - you look at the small sensor that makes this madness-Zoom only possible - excellent, up to an image size of 30x40cm. After that, the small sensor with its 16 megapixels takes its toll.
Of course, due to the sensor size of about 6,5x5mm (?) Compromise in image quality. In good to very good lighting the photos are cracking sharp, noise begins from about ISO 800, the camera-automatic always tried to stay at moderate ISO values. Rooms recordings and pictures in low light are sharply focused, well-exposed depending on the program to very good. Without flash. In addition, the discerning amateur selects its own settings. Macro from 1cm! It is surprising how well the software operates in the high-tech camera. Despite just 900gr. Weight can make sharp pictures up to 1/2 sec shutter speed -. Without a flash, out of his hand! In related zoom range. Who has a really steady hand, can even hold 1 second and achieved good results.
83fach Zoom out of hand - there is currently little to keep up (not?)! The zoom range requires a relatively steady hand despite super-anti shake. Incidentally, the Anti Shake can indeed be switched off (camera on tripod), but you can still see in the viewfinder / display, as the camera tries to correct the wobble - a software bug? The zoom image quality (opt. 83fach) is very good - Okay, in the digital zoom Fine satisfactory to good, in the digital 4x zoom (= 322facher zoom) depending on the distance to satisfactory Poor (digit 166fach.)! It recognizes the subject, but without much detail, so also depends on the distance. To about 50m = good pictures, farther away = poor / poor. I hope that I can attach the images. They are compressed to 800x600 resolution, but give relatively good information. Also, the wide-angle provides at close range very good, detailed images, but pastures and countryside with little details when the pictures werden- considered big and just as is from a mowed meadow rather a wishy-washy, but clearly make out in the larger objects are , The interior shots, as I said, are very good to good. Without flash! And even more so with lightning!

The attached photos are all, without flash, means any shot out of hand, not retouched and extra made only with the Program AE. Ambitious amateurs know that you can get better results out to play with aperture / time / focus. Focus - Manual focus is only on the zoom button. The focal points are - depending on the mode / program - fixed or freely selectable. SD memory cards only 2GB / 4GB to 32GB SDHC / SDXC of 64-128GB. 32GB results in max. Resolution about 3800 shots. Video is Full HD video with stereo sound eingeb /. Zoom microphone! The sound is good, of course. Selectable wind filter. Videos with just under 28 minutes you can turn the piece. The sound zooms with, the zoom noise is well heard in quiet setting, at Party and one hears nothing more from Zoom. Rotary / folding monitor and viewfinder, each with 921000 pixels, viewfinder with eye sensor automatically switches on the display on the viewfinder when the eye approaches the viewfinder.
There are scene modes: Panorama, Pet portrait, moon, bird recording ,, Time Lapse, image quality, image size, Scene Auto Selector, Portrait, Sport, Indoors, beach, snow, sunset, twilight, close-up, Food, Museum, Fireworks show, Black and white copy, backlight , interval shooting, the video slow motion; to the dial: Night, Portrait, Landscape and Full Auto, Program AE, Shutter priority and time, full manual, a user program memory, to various digital effects! And there's a 'Smile Mode' - camera automatically picture when someone smiles! But the truly amazing is the superzoom. Visually = 83fach - digital (2x) Fine Zoom = 166fach. Digital Zoom 4x = 322fach! The digital zoom can be switched off. Well, the GPS function - activated via the menu, the GPS data and the height above sea level are taken in the photo data. Where the GPS is faster than for example in my TomTom IQ. You can also turn on a GPS log book and so transmit its way into a card later! Good also the Wi-Fi - and NFC connectivity for streaming on your smartphone, tablet, home network, ect.! Self-timer 2 - 10 sec.! Smile Mode = camera triggers only when a smiling face is detected. Fernauslöser 2-10 sec. (Not supplied). Scope of supply: (?) Camera with lens cap, camera strap, 1 battery for about 350 shots, AC adapter with USB cable, ie battery can be charged only in-the-camera! Or via the camera directly to the PC; via USB. Tripod Mount - metal. No Flash / appliances shoe on the camera. No RAW mode (For what? - Is not Proficam!). In my opinion, this camera is really a small, technical masterpiece! As for the speed, as far as the Anti Shake - the finest. Who wants the optical zoom - well; as I said, in the near vicinity to about 30/50 yards - very good. Also in terms of equipment, more opportunities could hardly.

Plus: quick start, very fast autofocus, for beginners very many scene modes for a good recording control, 83facher opt. Zoom, Super Anti Shake, good camera control software - in terms of exposure and autofocus, simple image-editing software in the camera, Wi-Fi, good GPS (different systems), GPS logbook. Super facilities. Relatively good holiday camera - Topic All-in-One.

Minus: small sensor swallowed details, depending on the distance. Good to useful digital 2x zoom (Fine Zoom = 166fach), conditionally useful digital 4x zoom - very 'noisy', lens cap without safety belt, for the price of 620.- likely calm an external charger (China price around 7, -) and a its remote release it. Puny power-sensor! No software in the package - must be downloaded - instructions in the manual.

The images: Room - 43mm, ISO450, 1 / 30sec .; Vases - 15mm, ISO280, 1 / 60sec .; Vogel - 95fach Zoom, ISO500, 1 / 125Sek .; Buds - 166fach Zoom, ISO500, 1 / 125Sek .; Plant - 322fach Zoom, ISO800, 1 / 80Sek, moon daytime 83fach, ISO125, 1/500 sec .;. corrected same recording Set and again corrected with 166fach / ISO125 and and still received the daisy from about 11 feet away.

So, what do you? Good pictures for household use to simple booklet printing - as I said to poster size readily usable? A push that nobody has - even if the super-zoom images are not as sharp? But for zoom images to marvel? This camera really replace a DSLR kit with 2 lenses cheap! Only with viiiiiiiel more Zoom! But who expects class Photos - Stay away! Who is limited to less Zoom finds other bridge cameras for a similar amount of money, the budget DSLR (which Bildqualtät terms) in the shade. Who an ever-while looking camera, get 1 or 2 hundred less similar picture quality in a more compact housing. But NOT this Zoom! So ...

I think the most important thing I have given here again. If making a purchasing decision rich, or against. I'll keep my P900. The most necessary accessory - pocket, external battery charger with 2 batteries, Pole filters and Cokin ND filter set and 2x 32GB SDXC cards there also favorable here. Let's see how long does the P900 ...!
My tip for: newcomers, tester, demanding amateurs 2.Gerät, Zoom-freaks, animal watchers, moonstruck, insect friends, Macro friends and Nikon fans!
