It did take some getting used to. But, trust the auto focus, it is real good. Then adj the diopter setting one click at a time. It isn't as bright or clear as the DSLR, but is fine. Trifocals and progressives have their own challenges. Particularly if the focal points you need are different than the glasses. For instance i had to have the middle section of my glasses with a nominal focal length of 6ft so i could focus on my golf ball.
Google Oceanside Photo and Telescope (OPT) they are known worldwide and great folks to work with.
I wear trifocals, and after adjusting the diopter and brightness, it works just fine.
If it is a Nikon manual, go to Nikonusa. Com and download for free. I have the manuals for both cameras on my phone and it is always with me.
Hi BD. I spent 4 years on your side of the pond in the 70s, at Edzell, Scotland and enjoyed every minute of it.
OK, let me try to translate some of the tech talk, ... up to 90MBs read for faster xfr to PC, and write perf up to 60MBs for faster shot-to-shot. However, the real results ultimately depend on the host devices actual write speed / ability.
I guess had I spent $50 for the card it would not have been worth the marginal, if any improvement, but for $20, ...
So I bought a 16GB, 90 MBs, U3 card and am trying it out. I think it is marginally faster than the 80 MBs, U1 and I'm going to continue to use it and keep experimenting. I have not tried it yet with a video.
But the best part: I bought it at Best Buy this morning. It is a $49.99 card, but at the register there was a $30 instant credit on it. So for $19.99 i got a great card. If you have a BB nearby, ...
If anyone else experiments with this, appreciate to hear about your results.
I talked with a Nikon tech spec person yesterday and was told they haven't tried any U3 disks in their cameras yet. So i guesses i will buy one and find out. I'll get back to you.
I am hoping to speed up the white speed, especially after a burst. I am willing to invest in a new U3, 90MB/s SD card. Is the camera capable of writing faster to a faster card? The manual doesn't address it and so far their customer tech support has no clue. Any other P900 users try this?
I have had the tamron 24-300 and 18-270. Size and weight were ok, but was not pleased with the IQ. Have had the Nikon 18-140 for about 2 years and it lives on my D7000. The IQ is excellent. My favorite lens.

This is my experience as well. It does take practice and hand holding 2000mm under any circumstances, is always a shaky deal. I've been a serious amateur with many SLRs, for over fifty years and have hauled a lot of equipment to many places in the world, but as i age, it is more difficult and i want this trip to be about the experience, not the photography.
Thanks all for the reinforcement. I've been very pleased with the P900's IQ and range of functions. I was just feeling nostalgic about leaving the D7k behind for this trip.
I purchased the P900 primarily for the trip we are taking in the spring, due in part, to the size and weight limitations on some of the flights, the wet landings, and the fact that I only had to carry one camera. Easy to drop into a gallon Ziploc, etc. It is a pretty capable camera and I seldom shoot in RAW.
Any thoughts from those of you that have had the experience?
There are 2 that work very well available at B&H. A Sensei 67mm 3 in 1 for $8.95 or the Kaiser 3 in 1, that has 67mm threads on the outside to attach the lens cap. It costs $28.99. It is the one I use and it works very well. I leave it on the camera.
