    The P1000 is big

    In terms of size, hand-held usability, picture quality and zoom reach, is the P900 still the overall better camera?

    The P1000 is big

    Have you tried it on planets? Apparently you can get some decent shots of Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn with the P900...I have to assume the P1000 would be even better. You can get a star tracker app on your phone to track where the planets are and there are tutorials on youtube on how to...

    Coolpix B700

    Currently using the Canon SX50. In fact I started off with the very same SX50 back in 2013. Upgraded very very briefly to the SX60 but could not stand the shake at max zoom so I returned almost instantly. This was a while ago though so they might have fixed that, I'm not sure. Then I moved...

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    I sold my P900 a while ago...it was too heavy and expensive. The IQ wasn't that much better over my old Canon SX50 to warrant the additional expense and weight. Been trying to find a Nikon P610 or B700 at reasonable prices but no luck so far. They're both lighter and smaller than the SX50...

    Nikon P610

    Would you say it is better than the P610? Is it only better in the megapixel department (20 vs 16)? Are there any ways that the P610 is better?

    Nikon P610

    I have an SX50 currently, upgraded to a P900 for about year but then sold it due to its massive weight which I could not bear any longer. So now considering the P610 and was hoping to keep the conversation going on this somewhat overlooked camera.

    Nikon coolpix b700

    This camera seems very similar to the P610 which seems like a fairly decent replacement for the P600. Is RAW capability the only reason to choose the B700 over the P610? Or are there other factors? I found RAW to be unnecessary tbh...just my own personal opinion.

    Spotted Nutcracker in July Black Forest?

    I went in early August and saw 2 beautiful Nutcrackers without much difficulty. Also present were Eurasian Jays. Not sure if the Nutcrackers are always present but it did appear they were there for the peanuts and thus probably visit frequently. Nutcrackers are part of the Corvid family and...

    Birding Kaiserstuhl

    I went to the this area in August and saw probably the last Bee-Eaters in all of Germany before they also left for migration. It was very hot. No luck on the Hoopoe though.

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    Yes I think so. And I think you should first try another P900 before asking for a full refund. That way you can hopefully experience the P900's full potential. Good luck.

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    Dude you should definitely return it ...I don't even know why you're hesitating. Those are not the pictures the P900 should be taking. I noticed immediately how superior the P900 is to my SX50. In fact I'm starting to wonder if I had a faulty SX50 or maybe you had a really good one because...

    HS50 EXR settings for bird photography

    I bumped into a fellow birder yesterday who has this camera and I found it a very interesting camera. I might look into purchasing it. But one word of warning, the camera seems to go bonkers once you get past the "frame" number limit...which is the camera's internal picture counter. I think...

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    I don't know, I try to avoid "bloatware"...just give me a drive I can access and I'll do the rest.

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    Micro USB...it's the same cable that I charge my phone with. It's great actually because as I look at my pics, the camera is charging.

    83x anyone? The new Nikon P900

    It's huge. But surprisingly well balanced.
