It's a bridge camera. All the drawbacks of a DSLR, none of the advantages. Same shitty sensor and noise performance of a compact point and shoot.
Get a beginner DSLR instead like a D3300 with kit lens and get a consumer telezoom like the 55-300 or Tamron 70-300 VC

Forgot to mention the superzoom lens design means it is full of distortion and color aberrations meaning the image is soft and has weird color outlines and very dark meaning the sensor produces a lot of noise even in daylight.
The resulting image is dogshit.
If you want a decent and easy to use camera get a small compact point and shoot instead.

What I think of it:

It's an oversized point and shoot designed for people to buy it and upload a video of zooming in on something far away on youtube to give it free advertising so more dumbasses buy it and the cycle repeats.

Alternatives:

1. Get a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS for $200 off eBay, it has more than enough zoom and doesn't cost $600

2. Get an interchangeable lens camera and a telephoto, plus a 2x converter if you need more zoom.

Don't buy it, as it has optical zooms not digital ones.

Digital zooms are the best.

>all these idiots telling you to buy a dslr with a 300mm 5.6 telephoto lens
>and a 2x teleconverter
>to replace a camera with a 2000mm lens

the p900 is basically the sickest camera on the market if you're my dad and you want to take photos of deer and antelope and birds and the moon and the neighbors.

it is unsuitable for anything else, but goddamned if it isn't the best camera on the market for the dad niche.

It doesn't have a 2000mm lens.
It has a 350mm lens and a very small sensor.

If you use a 350mm lens on a DSLR and crop the image you get the same result.

Yeah, there are tons of DSLR's out there with a 1.3 micron pixel pitch. It's totally the same thing.

dis nigga right here

It's the perfect dad camera, and it preys on their need for MOAR TELEPHOTO.

My dad's been looking at one since he stopped lusting for a XF 100-400.
