Pros: Zoom, image quality
Cons: Poorly maintained construction,slow zoom,very poor sight
Opinion: I had started off quite biased, expecting half a crap. but I thought again When we talk about bridge superzoom you have to take for granted that they should be used only in good light, knowing that you have in your hands a beautiful toy, which can never be used in a professional way. But the photos that come out of this P900 (sometimes even with not really good light) are not bad. In the past I've had two Canon,sx40 and sx50 bridges, but this nikon overall in my opinion is slightly higher. Compared to canon, however, the quality of construction and the care of the details, as well as the keys, are far behind... for example, the zoom scale on the lens is missing, the appearance is a bit poor, and the keys are quite uncomfortable... The image quality is very good, you can't shoot in raw and in some cases the jpeg comes out a little too elaborate, let's say that the machine churns out jpeg.... "lively", sometimes even too much... The zoom is its strong point, but I was also satisfied by the autofocus, it's quite fast, but i still don't recommend taking this bridge or any other superbridge to do photo hunting, because the zoom is very slow to operate, and changing the focus takes too long compared to a telephoto lens with the reflex, plus the brightness is what it is... and iso is always better to keep them very low. But if you understand that the right use of this bridge is above all fun, and comfort, without pretending absolute perfection, then you have a lot of fun, and you also make very nice photos!! very very nice!! you can do the same photo hunt, but knowing that you can take home a few "professional" photos, but only documentary, even if in some junctures, shooting up close and with good light you can get respectable results!! Clearly my judgment is influenced by the fact that I am used to the world of reflex, and therefore to a quality of image at the top, it is clear that a user who buys this P900 as the first camera will be amazed by the photos !!! The stabilizer is effective, you can shoot freehand without too much trouble at 83x sometimes even at 1/30 Consider that to get to such a focal you have to use a 600mm on apsc and then crop considerably, in the end the 600mm will still give a higher result, even with the crop, but in some cases, for example objects or very particulars far away the P900 might surprise you |
