Took mine to the Galápagos and Machu Picchu. Great results!
I got a Vivitar remote, viv-rc-6000b-NIK for $5 and it works on both the P900 and the D7000
Made the trip in May with my P900 and am very pleased with results!
Great photo! . I just saw this ship in Morro Bay, CA. Beautiful! Covered in people like ants on candy. Not really photogenic in the setting.
I have had mine for over a year and love it. Took it to the Galápagos Is and Machu Picchu several months ago and it performed wonderfully. I have a D7000 that i really like, but the P900 is becoming my go to camera.
I have a d7000 and a P900, and love the combo.
I hand hold it at 2k frequently. Also regularly brace it against something, but rarely use a tripod. Get fine results most of the time.
I have had mine for a year, and traveled with it several times. It is so much easier to travel with than my DSLR. And a lot of fun. I hardly use the digital zoom at all, in fact I leave it disabled. The 2k optical zoom is very good on its own. I do use a rubber lens hood and always have an additional battery. I wear trifocals, but have found the EVF to be just fine once adjusted. I love the versatility. Several thousand fotos later, I find the IQ excellent. It does have its limitations, but for my money, it is well worth it.
once again, i agree. Great product. The quick releases do not come apart by accident.
I bought the p900 for a trip to the Galapagos islands and Machu Picchu instead of my dslr, due to weight and size restrictions. It was great! I took over 1400 pics and am very pleased with the results. I was getting shots no one else could. The accuracy of the auto focus is amazing. Being all electronic, you do want an additional battery available. I find that i gravitate to the p900 more and more. It doesn't replace my dslr, but is a wonderful compliment. Worth every penny.
I downloaded the p900 manual from the Nikonusa site to my cell and a third party book Photography with the Nikon Coolpix P900 by Alexander White also to my cell. White 's book does a good job of simplifying and expanding on the manual. And i always have my cell with me.
I love it. I bought it for a trip to the Galapagos islands and Machu Picchu because of several things : luggage size and weight restrictions; didn't want to be changing lenses in windy and sand conditions, wet landings on the islands, and i liked the reviews. I carried out all day, every day for two weeks, took over 1400 fotos, and am VERY pleased with the results. It is responsive, very good AF, and versatile. Took many bird and wildlife shots, through out the zoom range, getting shots no one else could. The clarity is impressive. The shots of people, landscapes, cityscapes and videos are excellent. I have had it almost a year, and wanted to be familiar with it before the trip we just returned from.
I find i gravitate to it, rather than my dslr, more and more frequently. However, it does have limitations. Primarily on the creative side. And you do need to have at least one spare battery. Everything in the camera is electronic, i was changing the battery about once a day but the camera was ON for hours at a time. I tend to use the eye piece viewer rather than the screen, but both are clear and easy to use, and I wear trifocals.
Hope this is helpful. If you have any other questions, will be happy to try to answer them for you.
Aha! Thank you! Makes sense now!
I have a P900, and it only takes jpeg(s). It has a 16M sensor, and with the image size set to the largest, 4608 x 3456 for (16M), and image quality to FINE, the largest file I can get is 7.1M. Can any of you holders of great technical wisdom and knowledge (that I don't have), enlighten me as to why I don't get larger files? Possibly, I don't really understand how compression works?? Appreciate it.
Nikon Tech support wasn't much help.
