Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update: 16/Apr/2016 There is another firmware update version 1.3 [...] The camera still takes great pictures but don't use it at full optical zoom. Zoom in all the way and then back it off a bit. It takes better pictures that way. I tried to upload more pictures but Amazon only allows 20 picture per review. I still really like the camera. It is big and bulky and works best outside, but the zoom is still great to have. Update: 19/Aug/2015 Still love the camera. I use it all the time and try to think of the many different ways I can take advantage of the long zoom. I also thought I would be using a monopod or tripod a lot more, but you really don't need to. I still bring one when I know I am going to take a picture of the eagles in their nest but other then that I always just point and shoot. The GPS tagging on the pictures is also nice so I know right were I took the photo from once I upload it to Photos on my computer. Update: 13/May/2015 There is a firmware update for the P900 on Nikons website. It updates the firmware to Version. Update: 12/May/2015 I am starting to learn that the pictures are not very good at full optical zoom, but are much nicer and in focus if I back off a little. I am going to zoom in all the way anymore. The pictures that I get just tend to be too out of focus and blurry. The camera is still great for wildlife though. Update: 20/Apr/2015 I still really like the camera. I notice that most of the pictures I have taken at full optical zoom are a little blurry. You can't tell they are blurry on the camera screen, you have to load it up on a computer and then you can see all the blur. I just take a lot of pictures and keep the one or two that are the best. You still cannot beat the zoom. I have recently added a picture of an eagle sitting on its eggs in its nest and a good picture of the moon using the moon feature that is already on the camera. I think they are great pictures. 13/Apr/2015 I have only had the camera for about 4 days now. I read all about this camera and tried to find every review I could before I preordered it. I don't know anything about RAW so I wouldn't use that feature anyways. I am one of those people who take photos 90% in auto mode and auto focus. It is just easier. I am not big into taking pictures of birds, but I do live in Alaska and there is a lot of bears, whales, eagles, and salmon to take pictures of. That is the reason I bought this camera. I have a pocket camera that zooms 20x, I thought it would be enough but it is not even close. A bear just looks like a little brown spot. If I am going to live here I am going to take closer pictures without actually getting closer. So far the camera is awesome. I have found that at full 83x zoom, pictures do get fuzzy or blurry. I am ok with it. I take a lot of pictures and delete the ones that are no good. I ordered a cheap monopod off amazon and plan on using it as a walking stick on hikes and put the camera on it if i need to zoom that far. I have heard that you can view a map of the GPS tags on the camera, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet "if you can even do it". I looked in the manual, but it doesn't really go into detail about anything. I have uploaded a few pictures I have taken of some eagles. Maybe one day I will update my review and add some more photos of the moon, bears, whales, and salmon.
