Buy it on Amazon - http://amzn.to/1dFi39p (affiliate link) The Nikon Coolpix P900 has a crazy long zoom that's the equivalent of a 2000mm lens on a 35mm camera.

The zoom on this camera is practically in telescope territory. It's crazy long, and is far beyond any other bridge camera out in the market currently. The single lens on this camera goes as wide as 24mm too, so it's incredibly versatile.

Part of how it's able to get such a long optical zoom is due to its small image sensor's crop factor. So the image quality will not be in the same league as more expensive digital SLR cameras but you will get a much more versatile lens in exchange for that image quality hit.

That said the camera does take some very nice, sharp photos when the lens gets into its sweet spot at around 150-300mm. I have some sample photos and videos in my review.

Video quality is decent although the zooming does introduce a lot of jitter into the video. It's not very smooth. Auto-focus is a lot slower than what you might find on a camcorder. Recordings are limited to about 30 minutes in 30 fps mode at 1080, and about half that length in 60 fps mode.

All in all it's a decent bridge camera that offers a ton of versatility. It's not as good as an SLR but an SLR also doesn't have this range of zoom.
