  • Great for Birding
Style: Camera Only
Excellent point and shoot for a non-professional such as myself. Works great for birding.

  • Great reach, great image stabilization hand held at 2000mm zoom, great pictures, easy to carry.
Style: Camera Only
Photography is a hobby to me. I have had a few cameras over the years, and still do. I have different uses for each of them. I use the Nikon P950 for nature and, in particular, taking pictures of a nearby eagles' nest activity over the past 5 years. I purchased the P950 to get close up shots that are uncropped. These pictures are right out of the camera. two of the pictures give you an idea how far away I was. All shots are hand held, shutter priority at 1/000. Shooting towards the sky sometimes requires using exposure compensation to prevent the bird being too dark (.3 or .7, or 1 easy to do.). Great image stabilization at full zoom hand held. It is my go to camera for nature photography. Sure it has a small sensor, but you can't beat it for the price and results. 2000mm Zoom!! You just have to know what you want to use your camera for. You don't need to spend $3000 or $4000 for a larger sensor camera and lens. Even doing that, you still won't get the reach this camera has. I realize in low light it will not perform as good as more expensive cameras, Again, do your research. know what you want your camera to do. Make sure it meets your needs, and price range. This is a super camera. I love it. ... show more

  • Fabulous camera powerful zoom
Style: Camera Only
After having a cannon power shot 60 SX for years it finally could not be repaired without great expense so I decided to look for a new camera. I mostly sue bird and nature photography so having a good zoom was important to me. I wanted something that was a point and shoot - not too heavy to take on hikes and ease of downloading pictures from camera to my phone. This does all that and more. Price point was great and the 3 year warranty that I added on covers more than just factory issues. I’m super happy it even has a setting for photographing birds and one for astronomy - ... show more

  • Initial P950 review Only 3-9-2025 Updated 4-1-2025
Style: Camera Only
The media could not be loaded. 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

  • Advanced and affordable camera

Lots of high-end features in a compact system. Most importantly, it comes with a manual! A detailed, practical, comprehensive, user-friendly manual.

  • This is a very poor representation of Nikon quality
Style: Camera Only
I couldn't describe how disappointed I am with this camera. This is my third "Coolpix" camera over the past 20+ years, the other two were great - they were excellent. This thing is a far cry from those past cameras - the metering is horrible, the focus lacks a center option on automatic and can't quite seem to ever find the right focal point. Optical zoom just doesn't work at all because the camera can't find the balance of right aperture and shutter speed settings so you either get out of focus or you get underexposed, dark. The digital zoom is ok and I got a few decent moon pics but that's it. The manual settings are functional (all though still mostly over or under exposed) but having to set them each and every time you shoot is counter to having an automatic camera. By the way, I was a Nikon F1 user so shooting manual is not a new concept to me. This was really a mistake and, because I really wanted it and tried and tried to make it work, I went past the date to send it back. Now I am stuck with it and my review hopefully will help you to not make the same error. There is just something very wrong with the firmware. ... show more

  • What's up with the faulty zoom?
Style: Camera Only
Zoom can become 'stuck' in humid weather. I'm assuming it's because of humid weather. I did multiple tests of all features at home in the evening in my byard, but took it camping and had multiple issues with the camera working. It wouldn't focus easily, would zoom in and out on its own -- back and forth. Not really sure what the issue is. I had the same settings I had during testing. The only thing that changed is I was using it in more humid environment. ... show more
