Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera - P950 VQA100AA review
The Nikon Coolpix P950 excels for its colossal zoom range and lens quality, but its image quality is disappointing in 2020. Only if you absolutely must have this much zoom reach is it worth considering, and even then the price is tough to justify. You can't have everything in one camera.
Pros:
- 83x optical zoom, Portability vs
- zoom reach, Good ergonomics, 4K video and quality EVF
Cons:
- Disappointing image quality
- Do you really need 83x zoom?
- Huge price tag

Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera - P950 VQA100AA review
The mere thought of shooting with a 2000mm lens must excite you if you are a photographer. Think of all the times you’ve been too far away from a subject to capture it properly. Baseball games and other sports. Birds and wildlife. Scores of other situations.

Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera - P950 VQA100AA review
The P950 is a solid evolution from its predecessor, with a good set of upgrades. If you absolutely must have 83x optical zoom and mostly shoot wildlife, then its reach and quality make it worth considering.
Pros:
- Huge zoom
- Fully articulating screen
- Raw format shooting
- 4K video recording
Cons:
- Relatively small sensor
- A bit unwieldy
- No touchscreen
- Single UHS-I card slot

Nikon Coolpix P950 Black - BRAND NEW review
This camera comes with an outstanding optical zoom of 25x, making it a great choice for shooting sports such as soccer that require both longer and shorter focal lengths to zoom out and capture the entire field and zoom in to capture individual players.
Pros:
- The huge zoom capabilities makes it an ideal choice for wildlife and landscape photography as you can zoom in to capture more details, It is among the most versatile cameras, thanks to the bright f/2.8 aperture that allows you to shoot portraits with a pleasing background blur and landscapes with a...
Cons:
- Unlike wide-angle prime lenses, the zoom lens produces some optical distortions when shooting at shorter focal lengths, Although this camera has a minimum focus distance of 0.4 inches, it doesn’t shoot clear and sharp closeups, making it unsuitable for shooting tiny subjects

Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera - P950 VQA100AA review
The Nikon Coolpix P950's main selling point is its huge zoom range and provided you have a steady hand or a tripod, you can get tightly composed shots of far-distant subjects. There probably aren't that many occasions when you need a 2000mm lens, but it could fun to take away on holiday or on a day...
Pros:
- 83x zoom range
- Good quality electronic viewfinder with an eye sensor
- Can shoot raw files as well as Jpegs
Cons:
- Moderately high ISO results are disappointing
- Bulky
- 83x zoom range is overkill in many situations

Nikon P950 review: Epic zoom that’s easy to use
As point-and-shoot camera announcements grow scarce, the Nikon P950 sits in one remaining category that smartphones can’t touch: the super zoom. With an 83X, 24-2,000mm equivalent lens, the P950 can capture subjects you simply can’t see with the naked eye. An update to the P900, the P950 adds 4K video and RAW photos, two new features that more advanced photographers will appreciate. Despite those updates, the P950 still does well in automated modes for less experienced shooters, and a new exposure compensation control on the lens barrel allows for basic brightness adjustments that anyone can use, even without understanding how exposure works. Not everyone needs an 83x zoom, but for those who do, the P950 delivers an affordable, if imperfect, solution. The Nikon P950’s body is unsurprisingly dominated by that 83x zoom lens. The lens is so big, you can feel the weight of the camera shift forward in your hands as it extends. At 35.5 ounces, the P950 has the weight of a DSLR (but with a mu...
Pros:
- 83x zoom lens
- Bright f/2.8 aperture wide-angle
- Macro mode
- Exposure compensation dial
- Easy-to-use auto modes
Cons:
- Slow buffer
- Ocassional autofocus misses
- Annoying battery life indicator

Nikon Coolpix P950 Black - BRAND NEW review
The Nikon COOLPIX P950 isn't bad for sport and wildlife photography. Its extremely long max focal length lets you capture very far-off subjects. However, its autofocus system performs badly, so it struggles to keep moving subjects in focus.
Pros:
- Extremely long zoom lens., Good overall image quality., Great shutter speed range.
Cons:
- Awful autofocus performance., Very bulky., Small buffer size for continuous shooting.

Cons:
- Not very fast, lacks touch screen and zoom ring. Lots of high noise image noise. Moderate battery life.
