Nikon P950 | Hands On With All The Zoom You Could Ever Want! | Jessops 

Can I please ask which model of tripod you use? Thanks 🙏

I also do have a P1000 , needless to say she is larger & more curvaceous of the two stunningly attractive teenaged sisters ( the other one being P950 ) from the NIKON COOLPIX family , it has to be confessed that boys will be boys & attractive gadgets always have a sway on them like the mythical Sirens of the high seas !

P1000 has huge weight 1.5 kg....and with full zoom the pressure goes too high.. P950 is very much handy and easily stable wirh handheld.,

This is all filmed in Bristol UK.

​@@Zubareffstream111thank you.🙂

What did you go with? I went for the 950;)

Same as with a lot of (all?) other zoom lenses, for example 100-400 Canon, even the markII.

no

Hello, RAW is not supported in the Moon, Bird and scenes modes. While in these modes quality is set to Fine JPEG. RAW can be set in Auto, Program, Shutter/Aperture priority and Manual. There is a manual Exposure preview but this only works while in manual mode.

@@jessops so using manual mode, you should be able to get even better images of the moon than the programmed moon mode. But the sensor in the camera is incredibly small compared to one in a dSLR or mirrorless camera.

@@ehomelessvillageidiot3051 It's limited due to how the lenses work.

Macro and slow water yes... Night photography...big NO

@DJ olivier No... But ok ok slow motion..

@@wildlifeindia2903 its not a macro. its just close up. have p950 true macro is far away from p950 stuff

Nope, it uses the same one as the P1000 but gets less shots than the P900 due to using more systems. It does get more shots than the P1000, though.

LightningAssault.com - I’ve had my P1000 for a couple of day now...I’m in love with that zoom. But skies have been completely cloud covered for days. I’ve got my calendar set for the next full moon though.

@@dannymcneal clear skies here on the east coast nothing but

The P1000 goes down to F8 at 3000mm and this is still useful in bright light but in dull light F8 isn’t so good. The P900 and the P950 go to 2000mm optical zoom at F6.5 from memory so that’s actually better. Of course, you can always over-compensate with the exposure and blaa blaa but then you lose the instant programming of the device. Having said this, if I ever saw the P1000 on special at a camera store or Amazon I’d probably get it because it is not often that you can buy a camera and telescope in one package.

I’m anxious to know if you’re having a good experience with you p950 after having it for awhile. Took me awhile also but I’m loving it!

@@kristeharrison5140 I still enjoy it. I will say it's disappointing in low light conditions but a lot of cameras have that shortfall. I typically use bird mode with great results, I haven't played around with manual much but it does work really well. A bit clunky to change some of the settings because it's not touch screen but if you don't have to quickly adjust it's fine. The lens is insane. I've gotten perfectly clear photos of birds from hundreds of yards away. I will say, all in all, if you're looking for a point and shoot with a very impressive DSLR style lens, this camera is a good idea. It's definitely a cheaper option than a DSLR or mirrorless body and lens if you're looking for the equivalent lens power. Side note, I will say mine has frozen up on me at least half a dozen times where I'll have to pull the battery to shut it off. Not a very common occurrence but it has happened, luckily I haven't missed a good shot because of it. I'd say once out of every 5000 or so photos I've taken so not that big of a deal to me.

@@T4eTurtleC1ub It's an absolutely tiny sensor camera, of course it was gonna struggle in low light - that should've been the expectation.

It's this reason why I'm thinking of the Canon sx70 instead of the p950 or p1000

Not too good but just passable.

Terrible I owned one sold it after a week,

@@mrmoon7768 It was your mistake of buying one of these and expecting it to work in low light anyways.

IQ is not good, About the same has a mid range phone, No good for low light, and forget printing off images, The shots look clear on a phone but look at them on a laptop, Very flat and grainy,

@@mrmoon7768 Much better than mid-range phones, simply because of the way larger optics.

@@mrmoon7768 "Very flat and grainy" Let me guess, someone has been using bluetooth to transfer his photos? lol

That's not creepy at all. /S

Are you talking about in relation to regular human vision? 40x and 83x is arbitrary. 2000mm is not. And I'm not sure what's so puny about it when it's the second highest mAgNiFiCaTiOn available in a camera (highest being the P1000) without having to shell out several thousands of dollars for a 50 lb 4 foot long lens.

What are you even saying here? This camera has amazing optical zoom.

Sport mode would help

@@konarr7158 Thank you!
