Nikon Coolpix P900 Compact Digital Camera
LKN Australia is an Official Nikon Australia reseller
Take ultra high-power zoom to the next level with the new 16.1-megapixel P900 and get closer to your subjects with 83x optical zoom (24mm -2000mm equivalent in 35mm format) and 166x Dynamic Fine Zoom*1(approximately 4000mm equivalent in 35mm format). With the new Dual Detect Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) feature, your shots are stabilised at a shutter speed of approximately 5.0 stops*2 faster, letting you capture clearer imagery. Shoot with the Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) with eye sensor, or flip out the 3-inch vari-angle LCD monitor for more unique photo compositions. Connect to your smart devices with ease by simply using the built-in Wi-Fi® or NFC*3. All in a compact and stylish body, with a rechargeable Li-ion battery that delivers the longest battery life in its class.
REVEL IN SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY
With an impressive 16.1 effective megapixels and an EXPEED C2 image-processing engine, the P900 provides sharp imagery with rich and vibrant colours. The revolutionary NIKKOR lens is designed with a Super Extra-low Dispersion Glass element, which reduces chromatic aberration, and allows for a remarkably compact body. Even in low light conditions, the backlight illumination CMOS sensor enables for a maximum ISO of 6400 and delivers clear imagery with excellent contrast.
PERFORMANCE THAT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND
Achieve crisp photos and videos with Dual Detect Optical Vibration Reduction (VR), where shots are stabilised at a shutter speed of approximately 5.0 stops*2faster for enhanced blur-reduction accuracy, while ACTIVE mode compensates for image blur caused by shooting while on the move. Experience improved high-speed response time with reduced shooting time lag of approximately 0.12 seconds*4 at wide-angle and 0.75 seconds*5 at telephoto position, so you can focus and capture moving subjects quickly and easily. For more freedom and flexibility to shoot your subjects as you see fit, a variety of continuous shooting functions are just a simple click away. It also features unique bird-watching and moon modes that perfectly complement super-telephoto capabilities and enable simple focusing and easy shooting.
PURE PHOTOGRAPHY PLEASURE
The P900 is designed with an approximately 921k-dot 3-inch vari-angle TFT LCD monitor, giving you the flexibility to capture dramatic high or low angle shots. Alternatively, the electronic viewfinder gives you the freedom to take control, as the built-in eye sensor detects your eye and automatically switches from monitor shooting to viewfinder shooting. Frequently used functions can also be designated to the Fn button, conveniently located on the body, so you can change preferred settings with one simple touch. All you need is one hand to operate the camera as the command and mode dials are now conveniently located for ease of use.
STAY IN TOUCH AT ALL TIMES
Connect to your smart device with the built-in Wi-Fi® and NFC*3 by simply downloading the free Wireless Mobile Utility app*6, available for both iOS and Android devices. When connected, you can use your smart device to trigger the P900 remotely, as well as pre-select images for transfer once you’re connected via Wi-Fi®. Track detailed location information such as longitude, latitude and distance between buildings or landmarks at higher speeds and accuracy with GPS, GLONASS, and QZSS support*7.
A PERSONAL TOUCH TO EVERY IMAGE
Add your own flair and creativity to every image with a host of functions available in the P900. The COOLPIX Picture Control function allows for further image adjustment, such as setting the contrast of the image. Create unique images by overlaying up to three images with the Multiple Exposure function.
MORE THAN JUST PICTURES
Create crisp and sharp Full HD movies by shooting in 1080/60p with stereo sound. The P900 comes equipped with side zoom control which minimises camera shake, and a zoom microphone that changes directivity according to where you are zooming at, so your movies sound great too. A Time-lapse Movie function creates 10-second movies from still images captured at various intervals. By selecting a shooting scene such as cityscape, sunset or star trail, the camera does all the work for you as the Time-lapse function automatically selects the appropriate interval required for your desired movie.
DESIGNED TO IMPRESS
Styled like a DSLR, the P900 weighs just approximately 899g (with battery and SD memory card) and has dimensions of 139.5mm (width) x 103.2mm (height) x 137.4mm (depth). The grip has been designed to provide sufficient grasping area with a moderately inclined shutter-release button for ease of holding. The P900 comes equipped with an EN-EL23 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, ensuring a dramatically improved battery life and reduced charging times, letting you spend less time charging and more time shooting.

2000 MM* ULTRA ZOOM LENS IN COMPACT DIMENSIONS
In addition to enabling incredible close-ups as well as taking advantage of telephoto compression effects, it can also be used to provide a shallow depth-of-field that can be used to highlight just your subject and de-focus the background. The COOLPIX P900 provides extensive coverage from wide-angle to telephoto with a focal range equivalent to 24-2000 mm*, in a compactly designed camera that also boasts high-performance vibration reduction. By using Dynamic Fine Zoom, it is possible to go up to 4000 mm** without any sacrifice in resolution. Moreover, digital zoom takes you up to 8000 mm* for more increased magnification and for framing and composition of long shots. By combining both zoom styles, it is possible to take some astronomical subjects. Inclusion of leading-edge technologies such as the Super ED lens assures acquisition of sharp images. These attributes, together with superior portability and handling, make the COOLPIX P900 an ideal performer for capturing images of birds and other wildlife, landscapes, aircraft, railroads, sports, and even celestial bodies, such as the moon, Galilean satellites, and Saturn.

2000 MM* OPTICAL ZOOM AND 4000 MM** DYNAMIC FINE ZOOM LET YOU CLOSE-IN ON AND CAPTURE SUBJECTS THAT AREN'T VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE
With optical zoom up to 2000 mm*, Dynamic Fine Zoom taking you to 4000mm**, and moreover digital zoom taking you up to 8000 mm*, it's possible to take faraway subjects that aren't visible to the naked eye and bring them up close to fill the screen as if they were right in front of you. The 24-2000 mm* focal range of its 83x optical zoom enables the COOLPIX P900 to be a total solution for capturing a broad variety of subjects.
*35mm format equivalent.
**Magnification of Dynamic Fine Zoom is calculated from the maximum wide-angle position of optical zoom.EXCITING VISUAL EXPRESSION BECOMES POSSIBLE
By virtue of its extreme zoom capabilities, the COOLPIX P900 offers extraordinary power of expression by zooming in tight and capitalizing on the telephoto compression effect. And since depth-of-field becomes shallower in the telephoto range, this can be used for shots that focus attention only on the subject.
FROM 24 MM WIDE-ANGLE TO 2000 MM TELEPHOTO, THE WIDE ZOOM COVERAGE SUPPORTS SHOOTING OF MOVING SUBJECTS
The wide zoom range (equivalent to 24-2000 mm in 35mm format) enables you to smoothly capture moving subjects in the viewfinder — it’s as easy as first locating your subject while zoomed out for a wide field of view, and then zooming in to telephoto for a tight shot This wide zoom range will also prove itself to be invaluable when you need to take pictures of different subjects located at various distances away from the camera, or in cases where the distance to a subject fluctuates drastically.
ACHIEVES SHARP IMAGE RENDITION AND BEAUTIFUL BOKEH SIMULTANEOUSLY
By creating sharp images with beautifully de-focused backgrounds, it is possible to draw attention to the subject in the foreground and take highly expressive photographs.
COMPACT BODY AND COMFORTABLE HOLDING FOR POWERFUL ZOOMED SHOOTING WITH HIGH MOBILITY
The COOLPIX P900 was designed to offer incredible zoom while maintaining a compact body for easy carrying and holding, compared to D-SLRs with interchangeable lenses. What’s more, Dual Detect Optical VR (Vibration Reduction) effectively reduces vibration that can cause blurry images, so images are crisp and clear even during handheld shooting at a high zoom ratio.
KEY FEATURE ❷ TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES HIGH IMAGE QUALITY A REALITY
SUPER ED LENS EFFECTIVELY MINIMIZES CHROMATIC ABERRATION
To maximize the camera's image rendition capabilities even at 2000 mm* optical zoom, the P900 incorporates Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements as are featured in high-end NIKKOR interchangeable lenses for Nikon D-SLR cameras. Through a dramatic reduction in chromatic aberration (green-magenta color fringing), the lens contributes to this camera's expressive photographic capabilities.
