Trying to see if I can post an actual picture. This was taken with the P900.
Sorry these are so large, but that shows some of the detail.

I recently checked out the Nikon P900 at our local camera dealer. Although I was impressed with the zoom, I was also impressed with the features of the Sony Cybershot DSC RX-10, another bridge camera. An upgraded version of this, which costs about $400 more, has just come out.
However, I’m not sure I’ll be in the market for a bridge camera for some time. I just got a Nikon D300 DSLR that I am using with a 18-200mm lens, and my Canon G12 point-and-shoot is holding up well.

I won’t buy a camera without a viewfinder.

This was taken with a 5 megapixel Canon S2 nearly 10 years ago. I gave it to my Sister around 3 years ago and they are still sending me photos taken with it which are at times stunning.

Very nice. The P900 does have a viewfinder. The ratio of good pictures to bad pictures has gone way up with this camera. One of the nice things with it, is that you can get pictures of birds from far enough away that they act normally. This picture of swans was at least 200 yards away and the tulips were another 100 yards past them.

I know little about cameras and am trying to teach my granddaughter about photography.
The Coolpix S7000 uses SDHC cards. Always buy a Class 10 speed memory card. Anything slower may add to the lag in a digital camera.
The S7000 looks like a terrific camera for the price.

Thanks for the info. I had never heard of the D810a but thought the graphic was good.
Just a bit out of my price range.

I am terrible with picture editors and my kids all use Photoshop.
have been told that Picasa is good for a basic editor.

I use Picasa mostly as an album. It is good at finding all your pictures and putting them in an album.
It has limited but useful editing tools but the best think is it is free.
