I am actually on a lighthouse trip through Albania, Montenegro, Southern Croatia and the Adriatic Coast of Italy. It is my first experience with my new camera, NIKON COOLPIX P900 (price 430 € from an online shop in Italy).
The essential thing in lighthouse photography is the zoom.
I selected this camera because it has a super zoom (84 x optical), and I am very satisfied with it.
This camera has a successor already, the NIKON P1000 with 120 x optical zoom, but from various forums I learnt that people are not too satisfied with it. The zoom is too large to make pictures by hand, you always need a tripod, which is awkward to carry with.
A lighthouse friend of mine has just commenced to use a drone with amazing results. I am thinknig about to purchase one in the nearer or farther future.
