[QUOTE="Mark F, post: 506476, member: 12825"] I have been off the forums for a while... Anyway. I found a brick and mortar that had a new Coolpix P900 and I bought it. I wanted either a bridge camera or a D3300 to carry around with me while hiking. The D610 and D750 get really heavy after a while. So here are a couple test shots first day I had the camera. The Old Mill Stacks are located across from where I work. First shot is slightly zoomed in... probably at 24-30mm. The second is full zoom at 2000mm at the stack with the flag pole with a slight digital zoom added. What I found I don't like is the quality of print over 8X10 I will have to figure out how to make prints a little better and less grainy. What I like is the flexibility I have with this camera. It virtually can be used in any situation that has enough light. If one uses a tripod, which is highly recommended at 2000mm :), and you have a gimble head, you might get a BIF really close up. But it will take some practice and some missed shots. One might get in trouble with this camera on a weekend at the public beach.. but you have to show restraint. Otherwise, its a keeper. I will have to get a d3300 or d5500 another day. My full frames sit on shelf for now. [/QUOTE]
