Capture your moments with A Gift That Gives All Year: Nikon COOLPIX A900 Review. Family pictures of everyday moments, childhood milestones, trips, and holidays are important…for now…and for the years when we look back on the now. From size to features read how this camera is the perfect gift to give…
My kids make fun of me as a momarazzi (Mom paparazzi) because I routinely have my phone out to take pictures. But I admit…the picture quality on my phone is nothing in comparison to the photos I can capture with my Nikon DSLR camera. That said, the DSLR is a big camera. Let me introduce you to the Nikon COOLPIX A900 — a camera as small as a smartphone with a telephoto lens which ensures you get amazing results with your photos.
Nikon COOLPIX A900
- Perfect size for travel where you can easily pack it in a purse or bag.
- 35x optical zoom and a 70x Dynamic Fine Zoom (beyond what most point-and-shoot cameras can do)
- Built-in Wi-Fi®, NFC and Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) so each shot you take automatically transfers to your smartphone or tablet for sharing, editing with photo apps or uploading to your favorite sites. This is super cool if you want to share your photos to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram right away. I know when we travel, we all want to share our photos. But the steps of connecting camera to computer and uploading can be cumbersome. This camera eliminates all of that!
- Large, tilting LCD. No joke — when my teen saw this feature she exclaimed “I can VLOG!”. I was recently at a media event and saw a young vlogger use a camera just like this one. The tilting LCD screen allowed him to see himself as he shot. This allowed him to make sure he was centred, in focus, well lit. And then, he just popped the camera in his bag when he left. This Nikon is the perfect VLOGGER camera for anyone.
- PSAM mode dial is available right on top of the camera, much like a DSLR. This means there is the auto mode for people who just want to shoot and go and also advanced modes like aperture and manual if you want to take control of your photos.
- Record up to 4GB or 29 minutes worth of 4K Ultra HD video.
- Creative Mode allows you to choose from 9 professionally developed presets that combine options like aperture, contrast and colour reproduction for stunning results.
Parent Club TIP: in lieu of making a scrapbook (because who has time?!) — take 12 of your favourite photos and create a photo calendar. It is something you can use everyday plus turns into a time capsule.
Photos make us remember the special (and everyday) moments in life. And having a top quality camera makes those photos calendar-worthy. A camera is a gift you give once…and one that keeps on giving. 🙂
I make a calendar ever year! 🙂
I love to have a camera with wi-fi options. Sounds like a great camera.
What a great gift option! Seems easy to use.
Oh How I miss having a actual camera instead of phone snapping. I like your idea to make a calendar. I also like making a collage of pictures and framing that at home .
Oh gosh – I really should get back to a real camera instead of just one on my phone. There’s such a HUGE difference.
I love the idea of making a calendar! Great gift idea for grandparents!
So cool how this camera has built-in wifi to upload pics & videos instantly! Having a smartphone to take photos is convenient, but nothing can beat the sharpness of a great camera like the Coolpix!
A good camera is so important – especially for us bloggers. This sounds like a great one.
The a900 sounds like a great camera. I love the WiFi capability. Nikon is a great brand.
This is the perfect little camera for my kiddo. He is getting into photography and this would be a great way to get him started.
I have a big ol’ Nikon DSLR and I love it. I need to look at this smaller camera and see how it works for our needs.
I am currently looking for a new camera and this looks and sounds amazing. Nikon is such a great brand as well.
The Nikon COOLPIX A900 looks like a fantastic camera. I would love to wake up Christmas morning and find it under the tree for me. I’ve been looking at getting a new camera for the last few months now.
I think this is a neat camera! I love how compact and portable it is compared to my huge DSLR!
Nikon is such a solid brand. They stay consistent. It’s no wonder so many people buy them and they’re so popular!
This does sound like a good choice for travel. It’s pretty impressive that you can even record 4k video on it!
I will have to check out this camera. I currently has a DSLR and it is bulky. I like the size of this one.
This camera looks really awesome! Such a great gift for Christmas!
What a cool camera! I bet my daughter would love this. She loves taking pics.
This sounds like a great option! I had a much older version of this when we had our first child over 9 years ago and I need to upgrade!
Cameras are a wonderful gift! Everyone needs a good camera–so many smart phones have a decent lens, but there are just some things they cannot do that a camera can!
Those calendar are amazing! My sister had one made for me and the photo for the month were family members birthdays. For the non birthday she went on my facebookpage and took a picture I posted for that month. Best present ever.
