This is one from my first experimental shots of our moon using my Nikon P900... handheld with no tripod! My friend has the same camera and framed an incredible moonrise shot with trees that I'll add here once he forwards it to me. This camera is mind blowing. Still learning it.

I have not shot in macro mode yet but the examples I saw prior to buying it were pretty stunning. The lens retracts to 24mm so it would make sense. I'll try it on some insects and flora next time I'm out with it. My primary reasoning was for long range wildlife photography and spotting. It's going to be perfect for that. The image stabilization is extremely good. I know that I was nowhere near completely still during that moon shot. I was trying to squeeze the button while exhaling slowly... just like shootin a rifle. Was hard to keep the moon in the frame.
