Impressive for hand held (but why would one *not* use a tripod in such a
case). I'm only a low-end amateur, but my Velbon DV-7000 is a modest
price for a damped tripod.

I've always been a bit sceptical about extreme zooms, but I can see that
they have a niche for a one-camera person who wants to do (say) a bit of
wildlife or "long range" sports.

Subject is a bit misleading. This is the P900 and not the original
CP-900.

The photographer was in a crowd of people being shepherded from one
part of the site to another. I would expect a tripod is something he
could easily do without in the circumstances.

That was why it was recommended to him.

I used the nomenclature of the aticle.
