    Is nikon coolpix a900 a good camera?
    nathanael.schroeder
    about 2 years ago
    Considering the price, image quality and feature set, the Nikon A900 is a pretty good value. Although we'd prefer a touch screen and a viewfinder, the Nikon A900 is a sold option for those who want to travel light with a camera that has many more features than a smartphone.
