It’s all about that lens.

There is no way to talk about Nikon’s excellent, though occasionally frustrating, Coolpix P900 superzoom camera without first addressing the lens.

This wide-angle, telephoto wonder can, at 24mm, pull in a startling amount of visual information. At 2,000mm, it can pluck the moon from the sky.
