  • Great camera for those who don't want to spend a lot to have a lot of zoom!
Style: Camera Only
I received the camera 2 days after ordering. The 83X optical zoom is great for bird photos where it seems like you just can't get enough zoom. It has a small lens aperture for this much zoom so the trade off is shallow depth of field at high zoom levels. The image stabilization is really amazing with decent photos taken at full optical zoom while being hand held. This isn't a camera for those wanting very high quality photos from a distance but it does what it is meant to do very well for a very reasonable price. It does a really good job with macro images too. I'd say that the worst feature is the auto-focus, it often just won't focus on a bird that I'm zoomed in on. However this issue is made up for this by having an easy access manual focus wheel on the left side of the lens (you have to place another easy to access switch to us this feature). This is a big improvement over it's predecessor the P900. The digital zoom processing seems to have improved too. ... show more

  • NATURAL FOR NATURE
Style: Camera Only
I am a retired Commercial Photographer In the field I used 4" x 5" view cameras all the way down to 35mm film cameras. The digital age and my age coincided and I retired. Since then I have been using Nikon DSLRs D800e to be exact as well as the crop sensor Z50 my first fora into mirrorless. I Had seen the P900 and the P1000 and read the specks. I had no hesitation regarding the size of their 1/2.3" sensor, knowing that the images it produced far exceed anything I could get with film on my F4s of old. I did like the fact the P1000 had raw capabilities (Photo Shop had long replaced the darkroom of old after I'd retired) but the thing was just too big. Then along came the P950 a souped up version of the P900. It had raw it had 4K and the only thing it lacked was the plus size of the P1000 and an extra 1000mm. The camera came in at just about the size of the D800 with a 24 -70mm f2.8 on it, but a couple of pounds or so less. So as something to do as the flu hit. I perchesed one. I have been playing with it for a couple of days now and am getting to know it. There isn’t jack as far as instructions except for the menu. It took me a while of surfing the screen to find all of what I needed to operate the camera in the modes I have become accustom to using with my digital equipment. I cranked out some images and dropped them into my 27” iMac. I was quite pleased with the lens and operating test I have so far tried. This instrument is touchy. You have to conform to it. It will then conform to you. If that makes any sense. In order to get tack sharp results. And this thing WILL produce tack sharp images at all millimeters, you have to use it in bright light and ISOs of 100 -400. Hand held is good up to about 600mm with the image stabilization on. After that I shut off the VR and put it on a tripod. I am not concerned about shooting the moon as much as using it to get close to subjects 10’ to 100’ away from me. This is my “back to nature” camera. It also has a fine closeup capability. You use manual focus and the lower power wide and telephoto settings and you can get some great images. You also have the advantage of better depth of field do to the small sensor. I am still messing with it but wanted to give my initial impressions. I like it so far. In this case I feel I’ve gotten far more than the price point would indicate. If the camera has perked your interest, get one. You can always return it if it’s not right for you. ... show more

  • Super Zoom and Very Sharp images!
Style: Camera Only
This camera is truly amazing. Its 83 times zoom lets you photograph close up or far away and get some amazing photographs. I bought mine to replace my P900. This camera has a much better viewfinder and allows attachment of a flash unit. This has become my go-to camera for everyday use.

  • thought the photo quality would be better
Style: Camera Only
I really wanted to love this camera - it has a GREAT zoom - and sure, in auto mode, if you're not shooting anything special, the pics are fine! I wanted something to take photos of bees, specifically in flight, and I even bought the Photographer's Guide to the Nikon Coolpix P950: Getting the Most from Nikon's Superzoom Digital Camera : and have studied it this entire weekend. If I'm in the house taking photos of the fan with a mug in the background, following the advice, the photos are very good - but the minute I"m outside trying to take photos of the bees, no matter whether in A, S, P, M, U, auto or scene, there's nothing outstanding about the pics. It's certainly not better than my older Fujifilm Finepix S1 with it's 50x zoom and weatherproof body. Maybe it's just me! Maybe other people out there are taking great clear shots of bees flying in and out of their hives, but if so, I don't know how they're doing it. I have the highest shutter speed, and am trying all the camera's options... small aperture, larger apperture, high iso, low iso, light compensation, i'm trying EVERYTHING that the book explains... but nothing spectacular has appeared. I thought this would knock the socks off my Finepix S1, as that's from 2014, but I'm amazed at how some of those photos are STILL better than this one. The zoom is amazing, no doubt about it, and some great features on this camera - but unless I can get outstanding bee photos in flight, it's not for me. But it IS an excellent camera - dont be put off by my review - I wanted something very specific - and this just doesn't meet my expectations. However, for the price, you can't beat the zoom and all the incredible options it has. What particularly disappointed me was the macro and close up options. I'm right on top of the flowers, camera is literally 1 cm away from the bee and the flower, and the photos are not good. So I give up ... show more

  • Best all purpose camera on the market!
Style: Camera Only
Had a P900 for 7 years and a P520 before that. The P950 has some key great features over the P900, raw mode, hot shoe, 4K video. The optics and picture quality are just as good. Took it up to Vermont for the solar eclipse in April, my photos were as good as anything other amateurs posted on the net. Its still compact enough to easily carry it in hand or on a neck strap. The 24-2000mm equivalent zoom eliminates the need to carry around a camera back with 2-3 extra lenses. ... show more
