This Camera Can Zoom to the Point of Allowing You to See the Moon Move

The Nikon Coolpix P900 can zoom in as much as a whopping 83x, allowing you to view the moon up close while it’s moving! In the video taken by nature photographer Lothar Lenz, you could see that the camera’s optical zoom takes eight seconds to get a close up of Earth’s most prominent satellite. That’s technology for ya. Another great thing about this Nikon is that’s it’s pretty cheap–it only costs $600–compared to other cameras of similar capabilities. Now, if only this was around during the moon landing. We probably won’t be debating the legitimacy of that event up until today.
