  • A zoom lens that you dimply won't believe! Go Nikon!
Style: Bundle / Digital Camera
I owned a Nikon P950 before and could gave kicked my iwn keester for ever selling it. I normally shoot digita; dslr but decided that the longer telephoto lenses were absolutely absurd unless you're making a living with them. The P950 is a fantastic camera with a lot of built in features if you do sports, birding or ? The zoom is unbelievable and the P950 makes you an expert in just a few times of ysing this camera. Easy to yse, incredible features and all for less than a grand. ... show more

  • Great camera for those who don't want to spend a lot to have a lot of zoom!
Style: Bundle / Digital Camera
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

  • Abolutely wonderful for point/shoot
Style: Bundle / Digital Camera
I like taking pictures of wildlife, but not into really taking the time to set all the fancy settings that pro photographers do. In bird mode, this thing is amazing. At 300 yards(my rangefinder said 400, but ?) great zoom pics. (attached). The close up is incredible (2nd pic) enough to catch a hummer tongue! These were both taken in Bird mode and I've done the basic comparisons to know that I'll stick with that for terrestrial. As far as Moon mode.....wow. I have telescopes and astro cameras that don't do this well! The zoom for the moon will need a tripod and a remote shutter clicker, but really, really good. ... show more

  • Initial P950 review Only 3-9-2025 Updated 4-1-2025
Style: Bundle / Digital Camera
This is only an initial review of the P950. I will update at a later date after fully evaluating the beast. Weighs in at 10 more ounces than my other heaviest camera. I give the camera a 4 rating because the auto focus and image stabilization are key requirements for me. And these areas did not meet my expectation as of this review over full zoom ranges. These areas have acceptable performance, but I would like the capability to be better. Maybe usage of the camera will reduce this complaint, but I ensured the camera had viable manual focus as needed. The long focal length zoom lens met my expectations; I had to have a minimum of 60X. Yesterday evaluating a palm tree at a hundred yards, the manual focus worked great. I had a well-focused and stable image using manual focus when I saw a raven about to land on a palm branch wings spread. Dang I only hit the shutter button half way instead of fully depressing it. Not used to the control buttons yet I guess. Nor have I tried all of the features the camera has. But the more I use it the better I feel about the purchase. The eye piece scene view is better than on my previous cameras. The video capture button is on the back of the camera and seems it should be next to the shutter button? I assume placed on the back of the camera for thumb actuation but seems clumsy at this time. And geez the fact that the USB cable is not a USB C version is highly disappointing. Although I knew that before the purchase. March 31 2025: Test drove the P950 again and stabilization did rather well and one auto focus fault when zooming about half a dozen times. Tried the Nikon NK Studio and Transfer 2 software. Worked OK but suspect I will just download files to my computer via the supplied USB cable and use my own post processing tools. Tried some 4K video capture and it played in my Divinci Resolve rendering software. Good Dove chick footage was obtained. And looking through a window to boot. Have not evaluated all core functions of the camera, but meets my needs so far. Attached a short video of a distance palm in a wide field of view and zoom close up of the palm when zoomed closer. Early morning shoot and palm more than 100 yards. I was able to pair camera to my smart phone and view pictures and allow my location to be seen on the camera using the snapbridge app. I used Nikon NK Studio and Transfer 2 software to view picture metadata and location of camera when a picture is taken. One can easily and easily find useful info for the camera online for example setting time stamp when using a google or similar search. Rather than searching through the manual. As one might suspect battery life could be better? ... show more

  • The zoom is awesome but there's much more
Style: Bundle / Digital Camera
I purchased this camera with a single, main priority...to shoot scenery and wildlife in the Colorado Rockies. It's the zoom capability that sold me. No question, hands down the main reason as it is with many other reviews here. Peripherally related, I'm a horticultural researcher and shifted all my plant research photography to an iPhone a decade ago with complete satisfaction. More recently I'm using an iPhone 12 Pro and its image sensor and accompanying high level resolution give me plenty of detail for print articles, conference presentations, and also personal photography. I enjoy its three camera lenses, on a phone no less...that's been crazy. But the 2x zoom lens leaves me unsatisfied in the outdoors and I'm not a fan of digital zoom, I never use it. With that as a backdrop I can report that the P950 surprised me with it's closeup capability. It allows me to get closer shots of germinating seeds, insects, and leaf and root detail that iPhone doesn't match. So while I mentioned the zoom lens as my single, main priority I'm adding closeup work as another main benefit. I'm not at all disappointed that the P950's image sensor is no better than my phone. For my needs both produce resolution that I didn't have in the past. I recently took the camera on a trip to the southwest and came home with pictures of Hoover Dam taken head-on from the interstate bridge walkway. I could zoom in as close as I wanted with my elbows supported by the bridge's concrete sidewall. I got mind numbing detail, from that distance and angle, of Lake Mead's bathtub ring right behind the dam. We also spent a day in Canyonlands National Park in Moab, Utah...took gorgeous pictures of mountains, canyons, clouds, and blue sky. The week after the camera arrived I got some terrific shots of a full moon using a tripod. The moon setting is pretty cool with its square image shape and automatic delayed exposure time. I think I can see Neil Armstrong and Buzz Collins' footprints on the surface. The detail was more than I was expecting and left no doubt that I made a great choice...an excellent choice purchasing this camera. So, where am I now with this really nice camera? Still learning. I doubt I'll ever use all of its features but those that I am learning how to use...it's been really exciting so far. Last week with snow on the ground here in Massachusetts a few deer were munching on my landscape. I'd been capturing these moments with iPhone in the past but, again, without satisfying zoom capability. The deer were about fifty feet away and the P950 got me so close that a one year old was looking directly at me, it was an incredible shot for me to have the ability to grab and at that distance I was less than halfway zoomed but so much closer than my phone would get me. Last year I built an owl house to attract a pair of barred owls in the woods. I mounted it in a direct sight line from my kitchen window figuring I'd be able to take still shots and video from the counter through an open, screen-less window. Purchased a firearm spotting scope with 64x power here at Amazon and even bought a gadget that attaches to my iPhone to take shots through the scope's viewfinder. I got it to work, sort of, but it's very awkward and challenging to use. A couple days ago as I was walking across the back yard from my greenhouse to garage with the camera I stopped just for kicks to zoom in on the house twenty feet up a tree and 100 feet away. At full zoom the 6 inch entry/exit hole for the birds to use filled the frame! Forget the 64x spotting scope, I'll use that solely for my pellet gun now. When mom and dad decide to move in what fun it's going to be taking pictures and video of them and their young chicks inside and eventually out on the three foot long perch outside the opening. Can not wait. Lastly, another significant feature that was a plus in my purchase decision is the camera's weight given it's incredible zoom power. I'll take it on its first backpacking trip over several nights next summer in Colorado's high country crossing a few more fourteener peaks off my to do list. At two pounds it's definitely heavier that iPhone but also much lighter than other zoom cameras that cost much more with less zoom power. In my photography I call my best shots money shots...or my keepers. The hard-to-come-by, never-know-it's-happening pictures that leave us in awe of what we were able to create. Can't wait to stand on the summit of the next fourteener and get shots of nearby as well as distant peaks that I've either already stood atop or plan to in the future. Again, iPhone left me wanting much, much more in terms of zoom ability and I'm not slamming iPhone. It's just not physically possible to get a zoom lens in a half inch thick phone. And at 72 years old I don't have many more summits in me with accompanying opportunities to come home with breathtaking pictures and video. The P950 has come into my life just in time, although I wish I had known about it and purchased it sooner. I'm sure professional photographers can pick apart the sensor limitations and other features of this camera. I'm not in that category of photographers and never will be. So I'm not trained to see what they see. Similarly, they aren't in my category of plant science and probably aren't trained to see what I see in plant research. To each his own. I'm so completely satisfied with this camera it's hard to put words to paper. Thanks Nikon, for giving us incredible zoom power in an affordable, relatively light camera. and thanks Amazon, for offering it and getting it to me in a timely, safe manner. I plan to thoroughly enjoy learning more about it, using it in the mountains, and leveraging its capacity to generate many more money shots in my research. ... show more

  • Pleasantly Surprised
Style: Bundle / Digital Camera
I have been using a Nikon D750 for several years and have been very satisfied with the camera. It takes incredible pictures. I had gotten tired of the gear I had to carry along on a day in the field with different lenses being necessary for different pictures. I was also always concerned with changing lenses and the constant possibility of getting dust etc into the camera. I have been searching for a camera that would get me great zoom capabilities and close range capabilities all in one lens. I found this camera that claimed to have 24mm - 2000mm optical zoom capabilities in a single lens and frankly, I was skeptical. I purchased the P950 and have been blown away by it. The camera has several programed settings that make birdwatching photos easy, moon photos easy, both of which were huge concerns of mine going in. It is listed as a "point and shoot" but I would say nothing is quite that easy. It will take a little "learn the camera" time, but now that I have invested that time I am hugely satisfied with the purchase, so much so that I am selling my D750. Never thought I'd say that. ... show more
