- Extremely large zoom range
- large viewfinder
- Good image stabiliser
- Loss of sharpness in low light
- Autofocus slower at high zoom
Bulky and heavy, but a real zoom giant: The Coolpix P950 is worthwhile for really distant subjects. Even photos of the moon are no problem with the P950: the Earth's satellite gets enough light from the sun at night, and the 83x zoom brings it in to fill the frame. Too bad: The image quality suffers considerably in dim light, but is decent in daylight.
- 83x zoom
- good viewfinder
- Good image stabiliser
- Quite large
- Significant loss of sharpness in low light
The Coolpix P950 is a bulky and heavy zoom giant. It is therefore worthwhile for photographers who want to get really distant subjects. The image quality is fine in daylight, but the sharpness suffers noticeably in dim light.
- Average image quality (in the bridge class)
- 83x zoom lens with impressive focal length range (24 to 2,000mm KB)
- With 24mm very usable wide angle range
- For the large focal length range, the imaging performance is above average
- Very effective optical image stabiliser
- The digital camera lies very well in the hand
Thanks to its large zoom range, the Coolpix P950 makes it possible to take pictures that would otherwise hardly be possible, or only with much heavier and more expensive equipment. It is obvious that you have to compromise on image quality - the new raw mode at least puts these disadvantages into perspective. Nikon should improve the autofocus tracking in continuous shooting mode.
- Automatics, scene programmes and effects help photographers and filmmakers in their work. The camera is easy to operate and enables extraordinary pictures with the giant zoom.
- The strong re-sharpening emphasises contrast lines in the image a little too much. At zoom settings above 1,000 millimetres at the latest, working without a tripod is a little difficult, despite the stabiliser.
The creative potential offered by an 83.3x zoom lens with a maximum focal length of 2,000 millimetres is enormous. The Nikon P950 supports it with a powerful image stabiliser, which in principle also has its limits. This is especially true in low-light situations where slower shutter speeds are necessary - although at 2,000 millimetres, exposure times of 1/125 second are already considered "long"...
- Giant zoom
- Top image stabiliser
- Large viewfinder
- Loss of sharpness from ISO 800
... In daylight, the photos look good, but in twilight the image quality suffers considerably. But moon shots are no problem: the moon gets enough light from the sun, and the 83x zoom brings it in full-frame.
