Nikon p900

I thought of buying one as a second camera solely because if it's long range to replace another p&s...and even at the price it woukd he a luxury for me...but I was turned off by the motorized zoom. I guess I could get used to it but I much prefer a manual zoom.

The zoom is somewhat odd in that there are two separate controls for zooming. After owning for a year, I still have to think about it.

Gary here is a photo I took with mine yesterday. I've had mine since shortly after
they were introduced. As someone else said, it's not perfect but I still like it very
much.

I have the P 600 and love it. Take it with me everywhere, along with my regular gear. Good IQ for the money.

I got my wife the P900 when they first came out. Our sole criteria at the time was she wanted something that was easy for a novice to use but that would also good for outdoor wildlife shots. The P900 has ideal for her purposes because we are able to get very good (by our standards) close up shots that out of reach for other cameras, like my D3100 w/70-300 telephoto lens.

I bought a P900 and sold it after 3 weeks. IQ wasn't good enough. I now shoot my commercial stuff with my D800E and my travel stuff with my Sony A6000.

Doesn't shoot RAW. Waste of money.

Only if you shoot RAW which I don't. While I respect your opinion I don't agree that
It's a waste of money.

I have a P900 and I bought it for it's long range zoom. But having won several prizes from pictures I took with it, I realize that the lens on my camera is extremely sharp. Also the image stabilization on my camera works wonders. There were shots that were real quick grab shots that I thought would be out of focus and blurry, came out nice and sharp. Of course I do miss the raw image because I now have to immediately change all of my jpegs to PSD because of image deterioration.

If you don't shoot RAW, you are wasting IQ.
And a camera that wastes IQ (on purpose, in this case) is a waste of money.
