Verdict: Based on specification comparison review we highly recommend you to buy the Nikon P900 camera, since it features 23X more optical zoom compared to the Nikon P610 and bright aperture zoom lens.
I disagree. Your sample images indicate the opposite to be true. The longer zoom on the P900 requires more light and at the far end of the zoom the pictures are much darker. The P900 softens the grainy image to the degree that details is lost. Check out the images posted on and by the BHPhoto.com blog. It took a very bright sun, as was on the Statue of Liberty, to get a long zoom shot and the image appeared soft and dimm.
