Verdict
Pick the Canon PowerShot SX540 HS if you prioritize higher resolution for stills and a slightly newer model at a comparable price. The Nikon Coolpix P900 stays the better choice if you value a marginally faster burst rate, though the difference is minimal. Both offer similar video capabilities and lack in-body stabilization, so neither holds a clear advantage there. Budget differences are negligible, so focus on resolution or burst needs.
