Nikon A900 Coolpix Digital Camera - Black

Product Information

Equally, the new electronic viewfinder looks like a great addition on paper, but actually looking through it fro any length of time turns out to be a literally painful experience. It's simply too small and too low-resolution to use for longer periods of time. Again this is a feature that more serious photographers should love, but considering its inclusion increases both the size and cost of the A1000, we kind of wish that Nikon hadn't bothered.

You can also use SnapBridge to remotely control the camera, with a live view on your smartphone. Or it would be, if the EVF wasn't quite such a disappointment. Maybe we've been spoiled by the viewfinder on the admittedly much more expensive Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VI, but the one of the Coolpix A1000 only has half the resolution, 1166k-dots versus 2350k-dots on the Sony, in the same 0.5cm sized viewfinder. This results in a rather grainy display that is really only suitable for light, rather than all-day, use.

New Nikon Winter instant rebate (Sofortrabatt) started in Germany: up to €600 off on select products Large electronic viewfinder.High-contrast, 1160k-dot electronic viewfinder (EVF) for clear visibility. The new Nikon Coolpix A1000 replaces the previous A900 model from 2016, principally adding an EVF, two extra zoom controls, touchscreen control and RAW recording. In terms of size and weight, the A1000 is subsequently slightly bigger and heavier than its predecessor, measuring 114.2 x 71.7 x 40.5mm and weighing 330g, but we feel that this slight increase is worth it given the inclusion of the EVF. The Nikon Coolpix A900 is one of the only compact cameras on the market which can shoot 4K video. To do this, you need to go into the Main Menu and change Movie Options to 2160/30p. By default, the camera will record in 1080/30p.

Select Firmware version in the Set up menu and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the firmware update. The Nikon A900's ISO sensitivity range spans from 80 to 1600 in automatic shooting modes. Users can however select up to ISO 3200, but only in P, A, S, or Manual exposure modes. With a new sensor, it's not surprising to see a different ISO range than the earlier S9900, which ranged from ISO 125-6400. It is interesting, however, that the maximum sensitivity is now capped at a lower ISO 3200. Given the small sensor size and higher resolution, this is probably a wise choice as image quality at very high ISOs on a 1/2.3-inch type sensor can be severely degraded. Warning - Nikon Coolpix A900 is not a tropicalized camera. If you use it in adverse conditions, you could ruin it. MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. General purpose metering does a good job to produce balanced exposures, only requiring a little exposure compensation in scenarios where we’d usually expect it - such as very high contrast scenes.Menus – The menus are clearly laid out, with each section getting its own main section logo, starting with the photo options, then the video options, etc. This makes it easy to change and find settings, however, the clarity could probably be improved if the menu sections were colour coded, rather than just being the same colour as each other. The camera has a relatively utilitarian look, but it appears quite stylish, with some nice rounded edges and corners to give an overall attractive appearance. There’s a textured grip on the front of the camera that helps your fingers to sit quite nicely and comfortably while you’re holding the camera one handed. On the rear of the camera there’s a small thumb rest area, which is also coated.

The camera will record 4K UHD video at 30fps, as well as FullHD, 60p video with 5-axis Hybrid Vibration Reduction (VR) which combines optical and electronic image stabilisation. Tilting touchscreen .The bright 3 inch, 1036k-dot LCD monitor can be tilted in almost any direction.

Colours are also nice and vibrant, having a good amount of punch without straying into unrealistic territory. Automatic white balance does reasonably well in most conditions, but it can err ever so slightly towards warmer tones under artificial light. You may also want to switch to the Cloudy setting when photographing under grey skies and you want to boost colours slightly. Like many of Nikon’s newest models, the Nikon Coolpix A900 is equipped with Snapbridge. This means that once you’ve set it up, the camera can maintain a low-power bluetooth connection with your smartphone to automatically transfer images and video across to your phone without having any additional input. You can either have images send across at full size or at a reduced size to save time (transferring over bluetooth is slower than over Wi-Fi). It’s a very handy tool that works well to take the hassle out of transferring your images ready for uploading to social networking - this may be particularly appealing to those who want to use the camera while on holiday. Unless otherwise stated, all figures assume a fully-charged battery and an ambient temperature of 23 ±3°C (73.4 ±5.4°F) as specified by the Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA).
