when is the zoom lens too long well for zoom fiends the answer to that question is never and that's how we end up with this the Nikon Coolpix p900 the camera has a class-leading 83 times optical zoom that goes from a wide 24 millimeters to two thousand millimeters the rest of the camera is good but the lens is definitely the star attraction it's also geared more for point-and-shoot users because while you do get manual and semi manual controls that can be a chore to use and it lacks more advanced features like raw capture a hot shoe or a mic jack you do get a serviceable electronic viewfinder and a rotating display and there's Wi-Fi with NFC so you can use a mobile device as a remote viewfinder or transfer that impossible birdshot you got straight to your phone to share immediately now more zoom does not equal better quality photos so while being able to capture subjects that are quite literally out of sight is pretty awesome they tend to look soft and lack fine details and although it can be fast to focus the camera would occasionally say like subject was in focus when it actually wasn't it noticeably slows down in low-light too and shooting moving subjects in general can be frustrating at such extreme focal lengths also and this probably goes without saying while the cameras image stabilization is good you'll want it on a tripod or monopod for the sharpest possible shots you can read the full review on cnet.com but even though it has some issues there's no denying the shots this camera can get are remarkable for its $600 price and size i'm josh cole Mussina thanks for watching
