I'm Just Here Bro It's a crap camera you can buy way better than that for that amount

No, it's a shitty camera for that price, with 600 dollars you can buy a very good second hand camera DSLR that's fast, good and doesn't need a tripod to take steady pictures. The P900 is crap, even an iPhone is faster and better at pictures than the P900, all you have is the zoom, anything else it's just stupid... for a camera that looks like the way P900 does, with that zoom and all it should take at least steady pictures....

E I N S look at the sample pics, pretty decent imho

$870 Canadian after tax

Tricia Young ..is the veiw finder of this camera is good ?

I think so. In some cases when camera is steady its as if standing next to subject. With me usually a bird as with all cameras you have to practice at first it was a pain then gradually got used to it now love using it

Tricia Young ..thnks a lot

Bird watching? Missing eye cup? Poor view finder? Excuse me, but are we getting so stupid and hypocrite about us? This camera is designed for BABES WATCHING, YES!!! On the beach, across the city apartments buildings and terraces as well as parks, yes. Why the swiveling screen if not to lubriciously peep our subjects without pointing it directly at them looking like a cheap pervert? Want to watch birds? Buy a National Geographic CD or go to IMAX or just watch the Discovery Channel. You'll NEVER get their results, only frustrations. Sex sells ANY product; from cars to internet. WHAT..? Internet is to get info & knowledge, you say? Well, if it was only for that the net will be as empty as your local municipal library. I'm gonna get me this camera, yes Sir!!

What settings do you use for flying birds ? . Any help would be great

D Hollister I couldn't agree more I photographed the Kingfisher that I am using as my icon with it

His complaint points are addressable on cameras >$1000 more. I think I can pick up a $5 lens hood and suffer.

BUT, i find that the zoom on the Nikonp900 doesn't reach its max without becoming blurry.

Theres no RAW, true, if thats what you mean by 'not a photography camera'

D Hollister Now it's not I bought it and it's crap All you get is a zoom The pictures are low quality and hard to stabilise them

Is the camera good for taking portraits or just normal pictures? It seems that all it's good for is the zoom. Thanks for any info.

Rodney Perry how is the vr?

Can you tell me how the battery charges? Does it have an external adapter or it can only be charged by keeping battery inside the camera?

GAME OF DRONES ive tried. Yes you can.

I went and reset the permissions to make the album public so it should work. Please let me know if it doesn't ok? Thanks.

All good now, thanks, some of the photos are sound!

Love my family ,the camera is great close range ,i would recomend it strongly for what you get for your money.i have a page on facebook UKKM PHOTOGRAPHY if you would like to have a look at some of the albums ,I take photos these days of mainly birds but also do lots of other stuff, it will give you a good idea of the range of pics you could take,just a thought before you bought one

sheeple ,,theres a vid somewhere on here with some info ,its not out yet ,i believe they are licensing the lens or some shit like that,i want the 1000 badly

Look for one that clips in using the camera's 67mm filter threads -- goes on/comes off quickly -- rather than one that threads on laboriously. (there's a trick to getting the clip hood to stay on securely but it works well once you get the hang of it) You can google "clip lens hood 67mm" to begin checking out who is selling what. Wide range of prices. No need to overpay.

I had to add a UV filter.....then a cheap lens hood from eBay will fit. It will vignette around the edges when shooting at 24mm......but, I rarely use this camera for shooting close! I just zoom it out a touch and then it's fine from there out.

The zoom is the real reason to get this. A lens of comparable quality on a mirrorless would cost you over 1k and be too unwieldy to even hold it in your hand. It's a good camera for parents who want to shoot photos/video of their kids on a stage, graduations, and any scene where you're going to be setback quite a bit from the scene.

Fadi Mustafa yes you can... via micro hdmi cable

Kennie MusicLovers pretty scary for poor ppl like me.if I buy this camera for 600 dollars which is it's price nowadays than I can't dream of spending 200 dollars more on repair in year or so

Can one not take out the sd card - fit into card reader (usb) and then download photos ? well this is my norm and no i do not have this camera

@@friendlygarfield thats what i do ,and it works

Not even from BestBuy.com?

bestbuy.com is the USA version. bestbuy.ca is the Canadian version and they don't have it. I typed p900 and it finds it but it says "sold out online" and for the local version, it isn't clear.

Allen Freeman Go to Amazon

It's lacking both a mic-in and headphone-out

No

I have never attempted . But you can try with a usb-to-barrel converter cable . Watch this video . kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcuCfN2k29TTpXU.html

but this camera is digital, digital images are computer generated, that means cgi... your pictures will be no better than NASA's

I just got mine here in Calgary Canada. LOVE IT!! so much to learn still

ghettohillbilly1 HAHHAHAH nice

@DajjaD hahahahha how ironic is that? lmao. This is the Flattard camera of choice hahaha. Thats so f'n funny lol

How does the P900 shot pictures or take video in the day in bright light ?

leslie fox try to update its firmware

Tony Zecchinelli you can use Slave mode if you are using in studio

The LCD is really hard to see in bright sunlight, that said, I found the view finder works just fine in those conditions even without an eye cup. Also my lens hood was less than 20 bucks.

what? are you disabled? Any lighter and the higher zoom range would be unusable.

okleydokley YES you idiot... I am physically handicapped and that's why the 900 is a little too heavy for me... have a little conscience and don't assume someone can do everything you can.

zztophatzztophat hmmm never had a problem in sunlight with the LCD screen

BeHisLikeness Heavy? Are you dumb? It's a light camera you fool.

In two years of use at $600 or less......I'm sure you'll be after the next greatest thing by then! (I always am.)

Ah thank-you

Well, I have a Nikon P510 I have been using a lot over the last 5 years and it's still working just fine. I think you would need to be unlucky or careless to have one die on you in 2 years.

Gerry mac Did the same took my money back this camera is crap

Mine is sharp so is not crap but as usual with these type of cameras you have to find a good copy of the lens.

Gerry mac ...digital zoom is bad on ANY camera. No matter the cost. Real photographers won’t use digital zoom. Only optical.

Life is amazing my one cost me £500 but it is worth it

Life is amazing theres for sale for about $475

ebay 500 dollars, usual 550. Was originally 800.

Rui Messias I have a appointment soon

You messed it up man . It's icup. Omfg..

oh boy....

For future reference, you can go to settings and slow the video making him easy to understand.. I typically speed videos up so I can get through videos faster getting more from my youtube "education" lol

Some of the people who watch him are. So it's a plus for some.

E I N S only when u zoom to the near end they are low quality...

Like i said, easier to take pictures with my phone than with this camera. I have an old Canon, it takes pictures a lot faster and clearer than P900. Even with just a bit of zoom you have to keep the camera really steady, pretty annoying for today knowing that even an iphone 5 doesn't need a tripod to take a steady picture. I mean for a camera of this caliber it's a must! i bought it i used a bit but i took it back, people say it's cheap for what it offers, i think it's too expensive for what it offers, you only have the zoom, anything else is mediocre

An iphone 5 doesn't need a tripod because as with all phones, the lens is wide angle. Attach any wide angle lens to any DSLR camera like a Sigma 8-16mm, you don't need a tripod, unless you are doing long exposures of 30 seconds plus. Something that cannot be done using an iphone. When you start using long focal lengths, a lot of lenses like the Tamron 70-300 SP has image stabilisation, which is handy at the 300mm focal length. Anything with a zoom you will always have shake. The longer the zoom, the more camera shake you will have. Liike you said with your Canon camera, your pictures are a lot better, that's because you are using a lens that doesn't have as much glass or lens elements as this lens does (P900). You tend to find lenses like a 18-300 will have not as good image quality as say a lens like a 70-300. The sensor is quite small (6.2mm x 4.6mm) on the P900. This doesn't help with low light. As with your Canon, if it's a crop sensor APS-C (22.5mm x 15.0mm) it's a lot bigger, so you will get better image quality, especially in low light. I would use this P900 over an iphone any day :-)
