I bought a Nikon Coolpix P900 recently and thought some might be interested in it. It's a $600 point and shoot but it has an 83x optical zoom on it. I sold me spotting scope and planned to use this in its place. I'm pretty pleased with it and the only area it suffers is in low light capabilities. I shot a video today to see what it would do, figured I'd share. If you watch to the end you'll see how far it was zoomed in.
