#TIP TRIPODS FOR NIKON P900 MANUAL#
The camera has P, A, S, M shooting modes, giving you manual controls, and raw shooting is now possible. You can focus on subjects 1cm away from the lens. As you zoom, this reduces, with the aperture becoming f/6.5 at the telephoto end of the lens. The lens has a relatively bright aperture at the wide-end with f/2.8 available. The 83x optical zoom lens gives a wide-angle view of 24mm (equivalent) and zooms to 2000mm (equivalent). You can also have a look at the optional Nikon DF-M1 Dot Sight which helps you target your prey, I mean subject. side controls to quickly zoom out, as well as control the zoom more slowly.
#TIP TRIPODS FOR NIKON P900 FULL#
if you're using the full 83x optical zoom lens, you can easily lose your subject (if it's moving), and to help with this, Nikon has added. Alternative ultra-zoom / bridge cameras, such as the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV, use a 1inch sensor, and by being larger they can produce better image quality, although due to the laws of physics, these cameras tend to offer "only" 25x optical zoom.Īiming an 83x optical zoom lens can often be tricky. The Nikon Coolpix P950 uses a 16mp BSI CMOS sensor, for improved low-light performance, compared to a standard CMOS sensor, but it is still a small sensor at 1/2.3inch - see our guide to sensor size here. The P900 has been listed as discontinued on Nikon's website.EN-EL20a battery, 290 shot battery life.2359K dots OLED electronic viewfinder, 0.39inch (larger), +/-3 dioptre.Up to 60 seconds shutter speeds available.How does the Nikon Coolpix P950 compare to the P900?

The Nikon Coolpix P950 isn't small, but at least it's not as big as the Nikon Coolpix P1000, which is quite frankly HUGE, and heavy (at 1.4kg) We were then waiting for Kodak to beat this, with their Kodak Pixpro AZ901, with a 90x optical zoom lens, and then the AZ1000 with a 102x optical zoom lens, however, before Kodak could release the AZ1000, Nikon came along with the insane Nikon Coolpix P1000, with an incredible 125x optical zoom lens! Along with these incredible optical zooms, there comes a price to pay, and that can be found in the size of the camera.
Previously the longest or most optical zoom offered was around 65x optical zoom. When the Nikon Coolpix P900 was first introduced in 2015, everyone (including us), was shocked by the incredible 83x optical zoom on offer.
