I purchased a Nikon P950 to have a camera with zoom capabilities. I tried this out on my vacation to Alaska and had some good results. The one major thing to remember with this camera is when at full zoom it is hard to keep it steady. On the plus side is it is a point and shoot. No need to carry extra lenses and change them out. I really like the bluetooth option as I can have the images sent directly to my phone so I can share them quickly with out having to load them to my computer first.
