Nikon zooms in with Coolpix P900

Get up close with 83x optical zoom

If you are looking for an affordable way to get up close to your subject, the Nikon Coolpix P900 could be it. When I say affordable, it's all relative.

You could spend more than €2,000 on a DSLR body and a half decent lens; or you could go for this 16 megapixel camera with an 83x optical zoom for less than half the price.

At €649 it’s not exactly budget, but it punches far above its weight, shooting full HD movies, vibration reduction for steadier images and a rapid autofocus that makes sure your fast motion footage will stay in focus.

It also has some nice extras like time lapse movie, a moon watching mode, and full HD movies at 1080p, 60 frames per second. nikon.com
