Nikon Coolpix P900 point-and-shoot has a monstrous 83x zoom
If you're a fan of superzoom cameras, you may have to look no further than Nikon's Coolpix P900 to find the category's new king. This compact, yet powerful point-and-shoot features a remarkable 83x optical zoom, the equivalent of 24-2000mm, which is quite outstanding for a camera this size. While the whopping zoom range is the obvious highlight spec here, there's a lot more to the Coolpix P900. Namely, a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor, an autofocus system with support for up to 7 fps continuous shooting, NFC, WiFi and a 3-inch, articulating LCD display. Sure, those seem like standard features found in most entry-level cameras nowadays, more or less -- but not so much the super, super 83x zoom. Either way, Nikon's making its Coolpix P900 available next month for $600, in case any of you are into it. Are you?
Samsung re-launches P900 as dual-band P900D
It seems like DMB service is barely out of the gate in Germany (maybe that's because it is), and here we already have Samsung re-upping its SGH-P900 launch handset. The newly-minted SGH-P900D is essentially the same phone but adds support for additional DMB frequencies, allowing it to theoretically top out at 20 channels of television depending on how bandwidth is divvied up between radio and TV. Meanwhile, Americans await even one DMB TV channel, but that's alright, we know how it is, Samsung -- the P900D lacks GSM 850 anyway.[Via PC Exposure]
