Nikon "Coolpix P900"
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. John |

John 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... |

They've had video cameras with that kind of zoom range for over a decade. Having said that, some of these cameras have had reasonably good lenses, given their crazy zoom ranges. By the way, judging from several customer reviews, "B&H" http://www.bhphotovideo.com was actually selling the P900 in March. John |
