Thread: Best zoom camera for hunting trips

Yes the P900 does have an image stabiliser built in. It was a spotter or camera I was looking it - the camera won out for great animal pics up to 250 metres out of the heat (heat shimmy ruins many pics). Distance viewing to check size of animal - pic is secondary for max zoom. Photographs submitted to most hunting magazines or competitions - doubt many cellphones pics make the grade - so one of the magazine editors told me.
My older Canon SX60 was doing the hard yards but at its limit for zoom (got me placings in competitions & in a few magazine publications).
What I did forget to check on the P900 was that you cannot fit a remote audio mic on them - just have to use the in built one for recordings - very average. As always, I carry two spare batteries. Aside the P900 has taken great video from a heli when chasing deer in the alps. Again doubt a cellphone could zoom in and provide descent field of view while keeping steady. Those that know me have seen my pics/vids.
