Welcome to AdoramaTV. My name is Marcin Lewandowski and I am a professional
photographer. In this video I will show you Nikon’s new point and shoot
compact camera the Coolpix P900. It’s a 16 megapixel compact camera which
is in a quickly growing category of mega zooms. Coolpix P900 offers equivalent
of 24mm on the wide and 2000mm on the long end,
being the longest focal length currently offered on the market beating its
closest rival by over 600mm. The headline feature of this camera
is naturally its spectacular zoom range. Getting it to work is very intuitive as the camera
has two zoom levers, one on top of its body and one on the lens itself,
next to a reassuring rubberised grip. The zoom is very efficient and gets from 24
to 2000mm end in under 4 seconds and if 2000mm isn't long
enough for you,
the camera can digitally extend to 4000mm. Image creation
is supported by a couple of very smart systems and I will start with the most
important one
the incredibly efficient image stabilization with a snap-back function.
What does that mean? Well it means if you loose focus at the long end you can quickly zoom back by
by pressing it and upon release, the camera will get back to your previous focal length.
Focusing is very fast and accurate even in low light conditions and the
resulting images have beautiful color rendition and sharpness thanks to ED
glass elements in lens build. Even though its jpg images are a little bit soft
towards the higher ISO, which by the way goes up to 6400, it doesn't take away
from their overall quality. To extend creative capabilities of this camera,
Nikon included simple intervalometer for time-lapse photography, HDR mode for
capturing widest possible dynamic range in high contrast situations and GPS for
geotagging photographs when you travel.
The camera also includes NFC (near field communication) and Wi-Fi,
making communication with your smart device very easy.You can control
exposure of your camera from a very simple app available for iOS as well as
Android devices. The App is very easy to use and works on older devices as well. This
camera connected with my iPhone 4 without any issues and was ready to
shoot immediately after making connection. All of the afore mentioned are
not the only features of this camera. Let’s take a look at the hardware solutions
that make this camera even better. The user has at hand;
3 inch fully articulated screen for shooting from wonky and unusual angles.
There is a high resolution electronic viewfinder with eye sensor which
automatically switches from screen view once you get the eye close to it, over
7fps burst shooting and for the more advanced users the
camera offers full manual control through PSAM mode. As if all of this wasn't
enough for a compact camera, the user also gets a smart pop up flash and
macro capabilities at the wider end. On top of all these photographic options
Nikon Coolpix P900 offers decent video capabilities and full HD
recording at 60 fps. If anyone would like to play around with some slow
motion camera, it is capable of 100fps
however at the expense of a lower resolution as it records in up-scaled 480,
a bit small for a large screen but perfect for smart devices like your phone.
The microphone records stereo sound and has a very handy built in wind filter
that you can enable when needed.
P900 is not a small pocketable camera but when we add up all the functions I
just highlighted, including good battery life lasting about 360
shots per charge, with HDMI connectivity and built quality akin
to DSLR cameras it suddenly all makes sense and is not that large at all. It’s a camera that
will be a great companion for your travels, giving full scope of video as well
as photographic capabilities and
will help in opening up anyones creative spirits. Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed
