[@dimacherepovskyi8600]

P1000 can shoot at its widest 24mm equivalent (when measured diagonally in JPEG or RAW developed in Lightroom), but if you develop RAW in any other software such as RawTherapee, you can get up to 20mm equivalent wide image. Of course it will have black corners(I even like this artistic effect sometimes), but they are not very noticeable. Even after cropping the photo stays at about 21mm equivalent, what is much wider than by default 24mm. Always shoot in RAW to increase the useful resolution of your photos. Yes! Otherwise the photos are digitally zoomed, what is decreasing the visual acuity. I believe the same trick may work for p950 the same way.

[@JohnMark61355]

I appreciate that you mentioned it, the best use of this camera is for shooting small objects at close range that leads to the subject filling the frame. So many reviews shoot objects a mile away to show how close it looks in the viewfinder or photo. Of course, the pictures are terrible. This camera is so good for shooting frame-filled small birds and other small wildlife that are virtually impossible to get otherwise without cropping.

I have watched a lot of Chris's reviews. This one is by far my favorite.

[@trekOCLVone]

The Nikon Coolpix P950 and P1000 were two bridge cameras that I compared along with the Sony RX10 IV. After researching and reading countless reviews I went with the Song RX10 IV. The extreme 125x zoom (24 - 3000mm) on the P1000 many of the reviews conveyed the at the long range end of the lens the quality suffered to the point of almost unacceptable. The P950 had many comments to it's short comings on low light issues. So I ended up buying the Sony RX10 IV which is way more pricing but the Zeiss lens at 24 - 600mm 2.4 -4 was in line with what I was looking for in a bridge camera. And the speed of the RX10 IV and raving fans of the autofocus. The whole concept of a bridge camera is unique in that It offers a reaching zoom but does compromise on the fact that the one and only lens it has is it - there isn't any options. Great review of the P950. Oh - your sense of humor is spot on !

[@rauldeandrade]

I have the p1000 and I love it. It will not replace your full frame camera anytime soon (photos are very noisy even at base iso) but 4K @ 3000mm? No camera can beat that. And stabilisation is also very impressive. I just play around with mine and I can get reasonably good video @ 3000mm with no shake. Awesome toy, especially for birds and wildlife at great distance

[@DerVagabundli]

That stab at flat earther made me chuckle. For those who don't know: the p900 and p1000 are the go-to solutions for flat earthers trying to prove the absence of curvature

[@MatthewSaville]

[@asub3292]

@@MatthewSaville literally just watch a boat leave, and you can see it disappear from the bottom to the top. If the earth was flat, it would only get smaller.

[@Artyomthewalrus]

@@asub3292 But the thing is, the earth is accelerating up at 9.8m/s squared. Thus "gravity" exists. Because of this light appears to bend and fall to the earth. Much as if you throw a ball in a straight trajectory it will eventually hit the ground. Light has a similar trajectory to said ball, except because it's lighter and faster it can go much further distances before it hits the ground, in addition, our eyes can only see the light once it hits our eyes, we cannot see the flight path of the light particle as it's flying towards us (IE, we don't see the light particles of objects that are too far away and hit the ground before they hit us). If we could only see the end point of a thrown ball, all thrown balls would appear as though they hit the ground unless they were thrown close enough to hit us, does this prove that the earth is round? no.

[@colinstock325]

Waldo you flat earthers seem to accept that the other planets are globes, if we’re accelerating at 9.8m/s2 how come we haven’t left the sun and the other planets behind?. Also what’s our current speed through the universe? And how come we haven’t hit the ceiling of the universe yet?

Good review Chris. I have had the P900 for a while now and I am still astounded at the quality of both pics & HD vid it is capable of capturing. As you said, it likes light... and in good light I think it is a phenomenal camera and at its current price point... an absolute steel! I also have a Panasonic G7 and a Sony a6500, both also excellent cameras in their own right but I still break out the P900 more often than not because of the huge range of the lens as well as some very capable macro functionality.

[@peterdisbury8739]

Love watching your channel you guys are so insightful humorous and you guys are very inventive with the way you produce your videos. It's such a shame that Nikon, Canon and Sony continue to make the superzooms with tiny sensors. I can't wait till they go to a micro four-thirds superzoom. I have owned Nikon Canon Fuji Panasonic superzooms and sadly none of them deliver for Quality whether it's a raw file or a JPEG and the rolling shutter is terrible even on a good fluid head tripod the pictures typically are disappointing. I'm praying and crossing my fingers that Panasonic and perhaps Olympus will come out with a micro 4/3 super zoom with Better stabilization better options for 4K video mic Jack touchscreen all of that good stuff a lot of us would pay the money for if they just built something with a biggest sensor better. Optics what's going on it's 2020..?

[@The.Urban.Birder]

Would love to see this lens coupled with something like the flagship 1/2.3" Sony sensors, seen in the latest phones. These sensors have faster readout and PDAF, which would result in a more desirable product. I am baffled as to why Nikon stuck with this 16 MP ancient CDAF sensor.

I've said it before. These cameras, the p900 p950 and p1000, are perfect additions to a camera bag. It's not a DSLR replacement, it's a super telephoto lens replacement. Logistically and financially speaking I will never bring anything larger than a 600mm lens anywhere, but these cameras are a fraction of the weight and cost with more reach than I would ever otherwise have. More versatile and better IQ than a cheap reflex telephoto on a larger sensor camera. I'd love to have this camera for astronomical events like transits and eclipses. With a solar filter of course. These cameras are brilliant in my opinion.

I had bought the Nikon Coolpix B700 way back in 2017 for just Rs. 20,000 /- [ USD ~270 equivalent ] brand new, and my opinion, it's a far better value than the P950 or the P1000. It comes with a 20 MP sensor, RAW format support, 24mm-1440mm focal length range [ 60x zoom factor ] and 4K30FPS video recording, in a camera that launched 4 years ago ! I use it for aircraft & bird photography and it's a gem of a camera. Sadly, Nikon discontinued it in a very short span of time, presumably so that Nikon could make way for the premium "P" series of bridge cameras and make more profit by selling them at almost triple the price of the B700.

[@RareSense]

Guys l have a p900 and am looking to upgrade due to raw and 4K, currently the p900 is doing all l need as a family camera of HD video of soccer games no issues etc however l am stuck between the Sony cyber shot 10 IV and Nikon P950. I have seen a lot of reviews and all call out the larger sensor of Sony however when l look at the quality shots of your gallery and other professional using the P950 and l think wow they are as good as Sony to naked eye. Am l missing something here in my uneducated viewing as l am low end of amateur by the way. The Sony is awesome and it’s fantastic with 1 inch sensor too, however both cameras do great shots and hard to tell the difference to an amateur like me. After seeing what you did with the P950 gallery, l think the p950 is amazing and comparable to Sony, the P950 had some great shots and the clarity is amazing at distance. What is your recommendation as the price point is large here between the cameras considering the visual result to my naked eye to justify Sony. Happy to shell out if you think that Sony is better bang for buck but l look at the overall results and they see similar am l missing something here? Appreciate your thoughts….

[@radiozelaza]

[@pgulysse1]

Thanks guys for this review. The @Nikon #P950 is pretty specialized Digital Crazy-Ultrazoom Bridge Camera. The sensor size 1/2.3" is probably a compromise for body size and massive focal range. =>> Hope the next update will have a touchscreen... a 20MP sensor? 1" sensor vs 1/2.3" sensor: Exception for the P950 other specialized compact cameras like Ricoh WG series, Olympus Tough, Fuji FinePix... I am wondering if the 1" shouldn't be the minimum for coming compact cameras? 1" and + (1", MFT, 1.5", APSC, FF) A 1" sensor, optics + pretty advanced features in cameras today should close the false debate between (1) smartphones (devices that have some photography features/capabilities) and (2) digital cameras (specialized devices dedicated to take photographs) Wondering if @Nikon will add a 1" sensor hybrid bridge superzoom camera within its #Coolpix Line? (Like the cancelled DL24-500, but capable to face or rival #RX10M4, #G3X, #Vlux5, #FZ1000M2, #FZ2000 / #FZ2500) Technology creates and kill, with smartphones, people taste and interest for photography downgrading... there is no really room for a lot of cameras in the market. Camera companies have to review their lines. I like bridge, ... I started to take photography seriously with a 1/2.3" sensor Canon Bridge (SX530HS) before I moved to EOS200D and EOS90D. Bridge cameras are pretty relevant to me, like other compacts (point and shoot + Advanced compact) you have a lot a lot of features in one body (DSLR + Mirrorless features for bridge)... But camera companies should have less products, but add all in one body (EVF? -> GX5 II vs GX7 III). =>> Why not a Mic Jack in the #P950?

[@bradnelson2637]

Awesome review! Thanks for posting this!

[@GabrielGGabGattringer]

24-2000mm?! Holy smokes! This would be perfect for planespotting! But frankly were are some disadvantages...

[@AgnostosGnostos]

If you don't mind the larger size and weight, the Nikon P1000 is a little more expensive and with a 24 mm to 3000mm (35mm equivalent) instead of 24-2000mm (35 equivalent). It is a better choice. The difference between 2000mm and 3000mm is huge. I have the older P900 with 24 mm to 2000mm (35 equivalent) like the updated P950. Only with daylight you can shoot handheld at 2000mm without high ISO noise. With a cloudy weather at 2000mm a tripod is essential for noise free photos. A monopod is more than necessary with such a camera. Despite the large size and weight of P950 and P1000 cameras, their sensors is really small 1/2.3 inch type. A typical sensor size of most small pocket digital cameras. That of course won't deliver the equal image quality of APS-C or full frame sensors. The P900, P950, P1000 are more a marketing trick than cameras with real super telephoto lenses.It is easy to achieve very narrow angle of view with very small sensors. If you spent double the money buy a Sony a7 full frame camera with the Sigma 150-600mm full frame lens and the sigma MC-11. Afterwards you can crop with similar quality of the P950.

[@Dashbshots]

My P900 died a few days ago. It had at least 4 issues overall. First the tripod head mount thingy broke out. The screw hole was not centered. So the weight was not balanced. The speaker stopped working earlier on. The rubber grips started to fall off which would leave a gel like sticky glue all over my hands. Which seemed to happen right before someone would want to shake my hand. Then the zoom started to act up and it would get a lens error message. You can't do anything when this message comes up except turn the camera off and then on, then off and then on. Now the zoom won't do anything. The camera will not correct itself. While I have enjoyed the reach, the reliability issues will lead me to looking at other brands for replacement. I don't want to spend 800 or 1000 just to have the next camera break in 5 years. I have a camera my grandfather had during WW2 that still works but the Nikon P900 died after 5 years.

[@heroninja1125]

I will say this as a user of the p950, the tripod hole issue isn't a problem anymore as they moved it to a central position on the camera, they have a new leather style grip, and they also seemed to have made the camera faster, now regarding those reliability issues I'm unsure if they fixed it, but I've used my p950 for about 3 years now and it's great

[@letni9506]

These cameras need good light. You'll need a fast shutter speed to capture things that are moving. It's not the best sports camera as the aperture isn't low enough and you need a lot of light with the small sensor. I got some good bird photos at the weekend but the light was great. It's a great camera that can produce sharp photos of things other lenses can't reach. But I think the rx10 iii would be better for your needs. Although you'd have to go used to match what the p950 costs I think. If you live somewhere really sunny you might find it does the job. But in the UK it's a camera I only get out in the summer.

I used films cameras before and a bunch of point and shoot. But this little Canon was the key. I take better photographs with the bridge than my smartphone. The sensor size was not a problem for me at that time Using the bridge made understand photography and after, I was able to use better the pro features of my smartphone. My wife has the same smartphone, and she's always complaining "how are you able to take better photo with the same cellphone than me"... She used to check my settings JAJAJAJA My experience... A- Smartphone Photography is Quick... is selfie,... you are in a rush to post on social medias for quick views and likes... You can't slow down when you are looking for a lot of views My last trip in Havana, I saw a lot of people taking selfies, but have NO clues of the places, the sites there were visiting, don't ask them the name, the story of the cathedral behind their faces... they don't know... B- Digital Camera Photography is a long process, you need to have time, interest and money (I must admit it's an expensive hobby). A real photographer takes time to compose, take and edit the shot... Of course, most of them will tell more about the cathedral... they know they have to tell a story of their shots , if asked...

Hi. You mentioned that the end picture is a bit off from what you shot. I might know the solution. I owned an A900 and it had the fault you describe and not human error. The replacement had the same fault. I eventually got a refund. Have since discovered two other A900 doing the same. That's four faulty Nikon cameras. My guess is a Nikon issue across several cameras. Suggest test on sturdy tripod zoomed in to eliminate hand movement. Hope helps. As far as I know they never recalled the A900's, despite feedback from their official tech guy in NZ.

I use mine for bird watching and just love it....until the autofocus is moody and the bird flies away before ever getting the shot. 🤷🏻‍♀️. I really enjoy using it. It takes great shots.

[@lauriedeacon7008]

yes I wanted to buy one soon but worry about how good action bird shots are ?

[@dryad_girl]

@@lauriedeacon7008 I can’t really say. I don’t play with that too much. I capture most of my shots when they are still. But it does have a continuous shoot mode when you are in bird mode. So that’s handy.

Chris looks 5 years younger now that he has dyed his hair and beard. Go Chris go go, you are doing a good job, good reviews, thank you.

[@erincthomson]

No dye, he's au natural

[@dougsphoto]

Hi thx but which one would you recommend for video. The p950 or Sony RX 10 IV thx again

[@lonelystarproject1450]

I have 1 question. Who is your master?

[@WhitieInVermont]

Did Nikon put the screw mount for the tripod in the center of the camera? The p900 has it off center and scares me.

[@ikoyDaPnoy]

Compare this to the new Samsung S20 ... the CoolPix obviously will be much better but I wanna see how much better side by side.

[@streets28mm]

Stop asking for touch screen, pleaseeee!

[@MassiveLib]

The only question I have is would you buy one?

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Hey Chris, love watching the reviews, but I have a question, which compact do you suggest with a decent zoom and a good macro setting, I destroyed my wifes compact nikon when shooting some video, Dont want to spend more than about $700 canadian, she will use it for flowers and birds in the garden.

[@odahon]

John H Pettigrew FZ1000 but not sure about the macro

[@AppAxis]

What lens was used for filming on the Gh5?

[@dpreview]

Olympus 40-150mm F2.8 Pro. Wonderful lens! Jordan @ DPReview TV

[@AppAxis]

DPReview agreed!

P950: The Voyeur's Choice

[@kiyoshim9593]

shhh

[@4TIMESAYEAR]

Does it have spot metering? A camera of that quality should have spot metering. I have a Canon that was much cheaper and it has spot metering. Really need to know.

[@terrybrooks395]

Hey guys, can you tell me if Nikon chaged the EV range problem I had with my P900.... With the P900 you could set ISO-100 and a 30 sec exposure, if you wanted ISO-200 you could only have a 15 sec shutter, ISO-400 - 7 sec and so on, does the P950 still have the same limitation?

[@CruisingWithChooChoo]

I enjoyed your review thoroughly! I have a Nikon Coolpix B500 with a 40x zoom. However, it’s only 40x or 900mm for moon mode. Otherwise, for bird watching or in auto mode, it’s only 440mm. How about the p950 or p900? What focal length can you get for bird watching? Thanks so much for the review. You’re pretty funny too!

[@letni9506]

The B500 is equivalent to 900mm at 40x zoom. I have a B700 which is 1440mm and a P950 which is 2000mm. I've used a B500 and it was tricky to use not having an evf and the stabilization is pretty bad compared to the other two. The P950 is great but expensive.Heavier too. Not as good battery life. The B700 i've used 3 days before changing the battery. The P950 has better dynamic range though and i've had sharp images at full zoom. But you cant beat the B700 for value. Its a step up from the B500 but i had to find a second hand one on Ebay. If you have the money and don't mind the weight hands down the p950 is the best. All these cameras are best used in good light though. Had some very bad results on murky days.

[@johncaban4310]

What would be the best quality superzoom camera in 2023 under $1000 for hiking, animals and people? Would like simple too.

[@alolkoydesigns]

Love my P950. The small sensor doesn't bother me. If I want to bump the quality I take pano stitched photos. The review doesn't mention the improved buffer which reduced the lag time between photos and the increase in the number of burst shots.

[@galshev]

Is it a point & shoot camera or it's for professional only?

[@heroninja1125]

​@@galshevbridge camera, it's half in between a point and shoot, and a "professional camera" solid features and zoom, but quality is not amazing.

[@galshev]

@@heroninja1125 Thank you! It's a lille bit too late😏 I got the camera & I like it.

[@GeorgeXian]

Wouldn't shooting the sun at 2000mm just make the sensor explode?

[@thomsn5670]

The amount of light (energy) that will hit the sensor at maximum telephoto zoom will not be more than with wide angle. Actually it would most likely even be less because the maximum aperture (the opening hole, the light comes through) is smaller at tele zoom than at wide angle. So if your sensor would explode at tele zoom than it should even explode in all other zoom settings. ;) (Actually, I would even expect that with tele the 'danger' is even less because the energy will get more evenly distributed over the whole sensor surface (the sun is pictured bigger) than at wide angle (where the sun is more a concentrated spot on the sensor).

[@GeorgeXian]

@@thomsn5670 Well, the statement that the aperture is smaller at the tele end is definitely false. The f number is the focal length divided by the diameter of the aperture. The f number becomes larger because the focal length increases whilst the diameter of the aperture stays the same. Furthermore, just out of intuition, the energy delivered the sensor cannot be the same at different focal lengths. Otherwise it'd be impossible to burn ants with a magnifying glass or conversely camera sensors will explode every time someone takes a sunset picture. I cannot reconcile both those cases at present but my understanding is: - The sun is not in focus on most wide angle shots. - The sun puts out the same amount of energy into the universe but focal length changes the number of rays that gets focused onto the sensor.

[@GeorgeXian]

​@@thomsn5670 Ok, I drew some more ray diagrams and figured how aperture plays into this. Light can only damage sensor when it is in focus. The sun's vast distance means that it needs to be focused at infinity to have it in focus. Infinite focus is when the sensor is closest to the front element of the lens. The aperture is further forward still and thus won't ever be on the focal plane and thus cannot be burnt; yet it can still block the light thus reducing energy delivered to the sensor - which hopefully your camera does automatically. So shooting towards the sun at wide apertures can destroy your camera. Telephoto lenses have LARGER apertures because their focal length is longer. A 50mm f1.0 lens has an aperture of 50mm, but a 600mm f4 lens has an aperture of 150mm!
