Came across this today....the Nikon Coolpix P900 with a built in 83x digital zoom lens. Some of you may have seen this, but it's the first for me and I was...floored.

 

Here's a GIF

And here's a few youtube link:

Thought I'd share this crazyness.

This would be quite crazy indeed if it was a digital zoom; it is optical though. 4.3–357 mm, or 24–2000 mm in 35 mm terms.

 

The P900 features a 4x digital zoom on top of the 83x optical zoom but as far as I know that wasn’t even used here. A 83x digital zoom would reduce the resolution from the original 16 MP to 56 x 43 pixels or 0.0024 MP.
