    NATURAL FOR NATURE
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome camera for wildlife
    Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2020
    I got this camera a week ago and I have been thrilled with its performance. I have been out almost everyday taking wildlife shots in my area. I have a lot of wildlife. I have several cameras, including DSLRs and for walking around shooting just wildlife, this has jumped to the front of the line as my favorite. I feel I have gotten some amazing pictures that I do not think would have been possible with any of my other cameras.

    As for controls and features. I am very happy. They will feel vary familiar to any long time camera user.

    update: Since buying this camera a month ago I have taken thousands of pictures. The cameras standard picture settings can do more harm than good. There are two options for maximizing image quality:
    1. Shoot Raw and convert and process
    2. Use JPEG, but in the settings use maximum size, turn down all adjustments to their minimum (noise reduction, sharpening, contrast, color, etc.)

    If you shot Raw you have to convert and do more post processing. That can be a pain. I find the cameras JPEG conversation is pretty good, if you turn the settings down and adjust those in any photo processing software. If you don't turn the settings down the camera internal software generates a lot of minor pixalation artifacts in the image.

    Also, when keep the ISO below 400 whenever possible and use a tripod a lot. I have a very compact, light weight tripod that I take with me all the time and use 90% of the time. Picture quality is significantly better than hand holding. At 2000mm even the slightest motions affect sharpness.

    This camera has it limitations is low light, so be realistic in your expectation.

    I hope you find this helpful.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible super zoom makes this the best solution for birding
    Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021
    After extensive research, this camera was the perfect solution I was looking for to shoot long distances. (Mostly birding). It’s pricy for a point & shoot but affordable and much more convenient than long lens alternatives for a DSLR camera body. So if your priority is the super zoom, this camera is a great value for the money! It’s not the best picture quality (compared to a DSLR with a larger sensor) but the image quality is not disappointing... as long as you’re not blowing it up or printing large.

    I chose the P950 over the P1000 because it is more comfortable to shoot handheld and bring on short hikes or to the zoo. The image stabilization is great but I’d still recommend a tripod and a basic understanding of manual settings is recommended to really get the most out of this camera.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A very good camera indeed - Nikon Coolpix P950
    Reviewed in Canada on June 8, 2022
    Over all the Nikon P950 is a really easy to use and to get comfortable using. I like the camera for it’s ease of use and control going totally auto mode or anywhere in between the many options to personalization mode. I bought this camera for a specific reason to take on an African Safari, I feel this camera will be wonderful for taking bird and animal shots from a good distance which is the strong point of the camera, the zoom abilities is unbelievable. Recommend this camera for individuals learning the world of photography.
