Thank you for a great video! I've grown out of my Nikon Coolpix B500 and I think the P950 is my next purchase. I shoot wildlife photos including birds and insects. From your video is appears the P950 will serve me well. Thank you again!

I think this is a camera meant for subjects under plenty of light. Not sure how well it will fair for subject under shade e.g. in a forest environment. Update: After I bought the P950 and tried it out for 3 weeks, I can now say with confidence that ISO1600 is very usable as long as you expose the picture well and only crop it minimally.

Awesome video/review. Short, precise, articulate. Definitely considering the P950, for a B-Day gift. P1000, is a little hefty, pricey, and can have noticeable distortion using max-zoom. A Bridge camera with a hotshoe, is a BIG advantage. And the prime purpose of such a zoom lens is the fact you can record video in HD (4K). Smartphones, are a long-way off, from having such capability. Keep-up the short reviews.

@@rajeevbaidya5442 ok so EDIT on my previous comment: There's without a question a noticable difference on the 4k in playback mode (: About autofocus: I had that very same issue with the p900 until I got more experience with my hands on the camera. I as well just stopped using autofocus finally after a few years and taught myself how to use manual and have gotten some crisp videos with it. You can even have a look on my profile. :-) I must say, this camera sure is a worth upgrade if you're into taking videos. One more thing to note, as I have stated, I have just started using manual focus. With the p900 it is a disaster to use manual focus. With the p950 there is a small ring on the left side which you can turn up and down to adjust the focus. Once again, you can have a look on my page and see some of my videos. More like short clips lol If you have any questions about these two cameras, feel free to ask I'll help as much as I can

I could show you some bird photos next to apsc ones and you wouldn't know which were which.

I still can't really get over just how compact the lens assembly is. A similar focal length on a full frame camera or even a DSLR with crop sensor would likely be significantly bigger and probably significantly more expensive.

@kishascape Жыл бұрын

Not really. As Tamron makes an 18-400 that’s the same REAL focal length as this (not an equivalent) for DSLR. This just fakes it by using a really tiny sensor which shows in not on the quality but incredibly narrow field of view lacking detail and magnification of distance objects since you’re not actually getting the real magnification.

@brianeibisch6025 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, I’d suggest getting the P950 because you’ll get another up to 1360mm focal length and that is significant. The P950 has 5.5 stops of VR too that is really good. (If using a tripod turn the VR off.) so nearly an extra 1400mm of zoom and the amazing VR and you should get most of your shots really well. Of course use standard photographer stabilisation techniques, breathing, support, control, delayed 2 second shutter release etc. i have the P900 from several years ago and the P1000 more recently and I think they are amazing cameras. Don’t forget, up until about eight years ago 16 MP was the ant’s pants in photography equipment. The size of the P950 is much nicer too, the P1000 is large to put it mildly, often requiring more use of tripods, so even more “stuff” to carry around.

I had the P900 and sold it. Quality wise it is a to big of a step down from dslr. Even a 400 dollar dslr. Never felt like keeping one of the pics I took. It's nice for video but because of the small sensor and aperture, you are almost always stuck with a busy, distracting background. Of course I knew those things in front but just had to see the 2000 mm equivalent 🤓. You still can take some nice shots on sunny days but for a zoomgadget, it's just to clumpsy and to expensive.
