THE INTERNET HAS become a little obsessed with this camera’s extreme (and kinda creepy) zoom over the past week.
The camera, a Nikon Coolpix P900, turns this…
Into this, revealing a hidden digger far in the distance…
It has a 83x optical zoom with a 24-2000mm lens. For comparison, the standard lens on Nikon is 18-55mm, and a standalone 2000mm could be more time twice the size of a normal DSLR camera.
The P900, which would set you back around €550, isn’t the smallest piece of equipment, but still packs a punch for its size.
Some might consider its range a bit over-the-top, and surplus to most people’s needs. Other cameras in the same range with smaller – but still significant – zooms have been better received.
