New Camera Allows You to Zoom in to the Surface of the Moon. Way In.

In a great example of just how powerful consumer cameras have become, watch as this Nikon P9000 zooms into the night sky, transporting you from a parking lot in France to the surface of the moon. According to DL Cade at PetaPixel, the built-in optical zoom maxes out at 83x but the camera is capable of continuing with digital zoom. “The P900 features 166x ‘Dynamic Fine Zoom,’ putting the final equivalent focal length at a mind-numbing 4000mm.” I don’t even know that that means exactly but it sounds like a whole lotta zoom.
