It does everything I want in quite the versatile a camera. It has sharp long-range zoom. It shoots 4k video. It shoots crisp hiogh-resolution images. It has convenient controls for shooting in various manual modes. I am impressed that a battery as small as this one can do so much. As always, take care that you use a quality high-capacity high-speed SD card. A carrying strap is a terrific idea if you're not used to hefting a camera of this size and weight. It may have a moment of confusion when auto-focusing the zoom, but this issue may come from attempting to shoot through glass. I may possibly find quirks or bugs later on as I get to learn the camera and shoot much more in manual mode. For shooting automatically, it's quite the versatile camera: two ways to go wide-angle or telephoto, automatic mode is a quality function for someone who just wants to turn it on, aim, zoom, and shoot. This will shoot far higher quality than you'd ever use on the internet.Read full review

I bought this camera for my friend who is not good with complicated gadgets. He is enjoying using the camera and learning about the features. We both got very tired of the promise that you could take great pictures on your phone. My friend is a birder and already has captured some great images and is planning a trip to capture more than what we can see out the living room window (although in my area, that's a lot of great birds!)

I was using a B700 for birding over 6 years and liked it a lot. But the P950 with 83x zoom is a great improvement over the 60x zoom of the B700. The P950 is necessarily bulky but the features outweigh the slight inconvenience of the larger size. The attached photo was taken at 135 yards distance.

I've been using a Nikon P900 for several years, and have read good things about the P950. It does seem as if the viewfinder is sharper and the zoom is faster. I still have a few things to learn, but I'm getting there. I expected my camera to be brand new, and it wasn't quite. There was no warranty card in the box, and the time and date had already been set to a different time zone than mine. If the camera were new, it would prompt me to set those values, but it didn't. I've been a bit wary, waiting to see if everything functions as it should. So far, so good ... but I am disappointed that it wasn't brand new as advertised.

Great for situations when you want a decent picture but don't want to lug a bunch of equipment or spend a lot of time setting up the perfect shot. The built in zoom lens is excellent and easy to use for nature photography. I have a more sophisticated Nikon DSLR, but the P950 is my go-to camera for outdoor photography -- e.g., birdwatching and wildlife photography. It does have manual settings for those who want more control over the image, but the auto setting does a fine a job for my purposes.
