Good camera but has many non functional features
on October 18, 2016
Posted by: Todd
The camera itself takes good pictures for the size. I like the long zoom and smaller overall size(although not tiny) I will use it for birding while cycling/kayaking. It has a better/more accurate autofocus than the 9900 it replaces. The image quality is sharp and acceptable but not as good as the smaller and frankly better SONY HX90V that unfortunately just suddenly died on me. I am pretty tech savvy and I could not get the wifi /Bluetooth/Nikon apps to work to pair with my iPhone. The video function is also not very user friendly/intuitive. If you just want a decent pocket-able camera for general photos it's good. I like the tilt-able back viewing screen that allows comfortable picture taking at difficult angles. The other features are worthless IMO.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Update on my review
October 19, 2016
I'd like to update my review on this new camera. I went to a park today to take some pictures in different light conditions to test this camera out. I took about 500 pictures of trees/landscapes, flowers, birds, deer, the moon, water. Only about 10 of these 500 pictures turned out sharp enough to be considered acceptable quality. I tried different settings and different shooting modes. I kept checking to make sure there was nothing on the lens. Most of my pictures came out very blurred especially of animals even if they were still. I tried resting against a tree or putting the camera on a railing flat for stability but the pictures were just horrible. The camera also took way too long to autofocus and many times simply would not focus. I went through all of the proper settings in the menu and in the manual so it was not set up improperly. I have an older beat up Nikon 9600 that is 100X better than this camera. I took one fantastic picture of the moon because of the long zoom. I would have to give this A900 camera only one star. Very disappointed in Nikon cameras lately. I also returned this camera today as my iPhone SE takes much better photos minus the zoom ability. DO NOT buy this camera, it's just plain bad.
