I used my P950 camera for a few hours indoors and it works great. I’m glad that I got one. I don’t have to spend a lot of money on other lenses. It was a very good investment. Top notch camera. My zoom didn’t make any noise. I’m now enjoying taking pictures with the camera. Great job Nikon. ❤❤❤

I own the P950 and got some great shots and footage during the flood while in Yellowstone this past summer. Perfect for wildlife, especially keeping a safe distance from all the Bison.

17:28 Thanks for comparing to the SX70. I was debating between these two (SX70 vs P950). My first choice was the P1000 until I learned how big and heavy it was. I have the SX530 (1080p 50x zoom) my first camera, and it takes good pics of the moon, but after several years I'm ready to move up to something better.

[@techtoremember8096]

Hi. I did review the sx70 and although it’s “fine “ it’s not in the same league as the Nikon. It’s lighter and cheaper but that’s all reflected in the lower quality. If you want an affordable relatively light and affordable superzoom I think the .950 is the winner !

I just got the P950 last week and this has been a great video to help me get used to all the features, thank you. One question. What tripod would you recommend for the P950?

[@techtoremember8096]

Hi Congrats on your 950! There are a ton of tripod choices out there. The camera is on the heavy side, so the more sturdy the tripod the better since even a small wind can affect this camera at high magnification especially if its on a flimsy tripod. Manfrotto makes good tripods. I would definitely recommend that brand. There are many choices depending on your budget. The more you spend, the more solid your shots will be, so get something within your budget but just not a cheap $35 on Amazon because you will be disappointed I'm afraid. Thanks for the comment and best of luck!

[@papa.alfredo]

Hope you are having a good time with the Sony Review at the time you read this! I believe that the Sony DSC-RX10 Mark IV is a much better camera as this one in video, including as well the P1000. For me picture quality will be a priority and good focusing will be too. Greetings again and wait about the other topic from my last message! Greetings again from Germany!

[@jeffreykramer6508]

Excellent and informative. Good laughs too. I've owned a p1000 for 3 years. Strictly a birder. it's great for Identification without the finer points of photography. But I've struggled where I'll push the shutter button down halfway to focus--whether close or distant-and all I'll get is a complete blur. The daylight lighting could be both sunny or cloudy. Frustrating when it's an uncommon bird! Hope I don't have this problem with the p950, which I'm going to purchase.

Your videos have been detailed and useful. If I may ask though. Between the Nikon P950 and Canon sx70hs, in your opinion, which would be the best camera to buy? And why?

[@techtoremember8096]

Hi there and thank you for your comment. Having used both cameras extensively, I can tell you that I prefer the Nikon in almost every aspect. Even though they both have smaller sensors, the Nikon does a better job in terms of picture quality, especially staying sharp at long telephoto ranges. The Canon gets very soft when zoomed in. The Nikon has a better zoom range, it also has better stabilization which is very important for a long zoom camera. I was surprised how shaky the Canon was in video mode at the long end of the zoom. The only advantage of the Canon is the smaller size. It is a far smaller and lighter camera, so if that is important, then I would say the Canon but if you want a step up in image quality, I'd have to go with the Nikon. The Canon is also a bit less expensive as well. Hope this helps! Thanks again for your support.

I had it out today and in the auto mode it would not focus on anything beyond 700/800mm. Is this an operator error or is something wrong with the camera? I will focus in manual mode in all the zoom positions. Please help if you can. Thank you Joe B

@joebarry593 that’s not right I’ve used the camera many times and it works If you read the manual it would say that - you can download the manual online and im sure it doesn’t say that autofocus just stops at a certain telephoto range - Im afraid you may have to send it in to get serviced Did you download the latest firmware ?

Hi there. Wanted to get back to you on this. It is pretty much what I suspected. The only way to adjust shutter speed on the P1000 is to be in S which is the shutter priority mode. If you are in sports mode (or any other scene) you cannot make adjustments to shutter speed. That’s why I mentioned in the video that if you’re going to be doing sports, I really think that shutter priority mode makes more sense so you can dial in a shutter speed and capture any fast action and you can also shoot burst mode as well.

Is it as good as a DSLR sir

[@techtoremember8096]

Hi,--the 950 is more convenient than a DSLR,. and cheaper than a DSLR,. and more versatile than a DSLR But when you ask "as good as" I assume you mean picture quality? Well, a DSLR is a more professional, bigger and more expensive camera with a larger sensor so its not really a fair comparison. A DSLR will yield a picture with more depth of field, better dynamic range and a more impactful image. I would say if you are a professional photographer then the P950 is not your solution. But if you would like many benefits and conveniences, including that incredible zoom and still a very good picture then the 950 is a great camera but is still not going to give you the same level of quality that an expensive DSLR will provide. But many people use this camera for wildlife and take on trips because they just don't want to carry all the expensive lenses and heavy gear around with them. They are often very happy with the results.

Is the footage a true comparison or is it the P1000 zoomed to 2000 and 3000? When the P1000 says 2000, it might not be perfectly calibrated and equivalent to P950 at 2000. I think you really need to compare the P950 at 2000 vs the P1000 at 3000 rather than simulating the comparison on the P1000.

*Using the P900, P950, or P1000, without a very sturdy tripod and heavy duty head just doesn't make any sense to me at all ? The premise of evaluating stability by having the expectation of being able to obtain a steady image by hand holding any camera with a focal length lens of 2000mm or more is entirely false ! I wouldn't (and don't) expect there to be any camera which defies optical physics ! 🤔I would never waste my time in the course of evaluating my brand new P1000 on such a basis. I have seen a ton of horrible, crap footage posts from folks across the globe on KZbin from the Nikon P1000 simply because they refuse to use a tripod, manually focus, and lock or manually set their exposure on the camera. Any auto focus system will "hunt" for maximum focus at 2000mm or 3000mm magnification. Turn your auto focus OFF ! 😳🙏. Regarding the focal length comparison shot between the P950 @ 2000mm and the P1000 @ 3,000mm looks quite small, because you have chosen to frame a subject which is not all that far away from the focal plane of the camera. The best tests I have seen with the P1000 is on landscape subjects to a sustained maximum of 57 Miles ! Yup, that's what I wrote - 57 MILES with the P1000 with hikers on a tall mountain in the Swiss Alps ! 😳👀🙏 P.S. As a general note on standard practices, 99 % of all photographers and wildlife videographers go to the extra trouble of lugging around a really expensive tripod and professional video head in order to stabilize the image they're capturing when using extreme telephoto lenses. In most cases, using long lenses is the only way to capture wildlife sequences, since trying to get any closer than half a mile is either too dangerous, or the animals will hear them and run away. The P1000, plus heavy duty tripod, plus heavy duty tripod head = incredible shots. I will be posting a series of tests shots I'm making for a time-lapse nature epic I am working on soon.*

[@techtoremember8096]

Hey Mark. Thanks for your comment. While you’re 100% right that there’s no substitute for a sturdy tripod, it’s not always practical or feasible to have a tripod with you at all times. This camera will often be used for personal uses , for travel and most people are not going to pack a sturdy tripod on their family vacation This isn’t a professional camera. It’s not being used by pros. It’s a consumer camera. So it certainly is valid to see how it will perform hand holding. And it performs surprisingly well all considered. You can obtain sharp photos even at 2000 mm so I would disagree with your post but I do agree that if you have a tripod it certainly makes life easier ! And again in my video, I chose 2 different scenarios. - 1 that was relatively close and another a significant distance away to compare the p950 vs p1000. More of a real world example than something a ridiculous amount of miles away. And by the way you are right about professional photographers using heavy duty tripods. But those pros are using mirrorless cameras which produce far better results and are 3x the price of a p950 or p1000. The tripod and head alone can easily exceed the cost of the p950. The fact is you need a very heavy duty tripod because as you know even a slight wind at high magnifications can ruin a shot. It’s a very expensive proposition that most p950 users will not be investing in

I need a camera like this for sport photography. How reliable and faster is the autofocus? I like to take tennis players in action. The Nikon Coolpix P900 is imposible to freeze a tennis player, the autofocus system takes so long to find the focus and when it does... the moment I want to capture is gone. Can you tell me if the P950 can do that? Tks for your help. Greetings from Mexico.

Hello there. The AF is good if you have plenty of light. When you are at full zoom, the AF is not fantastic. If you are going to use the AF at full zoom or near full zoom I would say it is not 100% reliable. For fast moving subjects, this camera is really not designed for fast moving sports. You can do it, but I am afraid you may have a similar issue as your P900. Feel free to watch my video on how to use the focus of this camera for more tips.

I love your humor! I just laughed until I had tears in my eyes when you said that was your mother! I thought you were in so much trouble. Ha ha ha. Thank you for teaching us all the tips and tricks. This is so much better than reading the manual. 🫣😁

Haha, well, I'll let my mother know she has a fan! I appreciate the comment and glad you got a kick out of it. Thanks so much!
