The Nikon "Coolpix P900" will be released in April of 2015, at a MSRP of
around $600.00 USD. This camera has an incredible optical zoom of 83x
(24mm-2000mm, in 35mm terms).

Personally, although the P900 is rather tempting, I think I'll hold out
for 100x.

It's all junk. $600.00 for a P&S that'll be worth $200 if you try to sell it a month later.


At the same time, no one buys this sort of thing as an investment. All
that matters is the image quality. In this case, though, I assume it's
going to have a pretty tiny sensor with that kind of zoom range.
Anything outside of a bright, sunny day is going to be a problem. Or
maybe it's got a really, really, bright flash...
