Nikon P950 Overview

Comprising the essentials needed to begin shooting, the Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera with Accessories Kit from B&H bundles the long-zoom point-and-shoot with a memory card and protective camera bag.

Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera

Characterized by its expansive zoom, the COOLPIX P950, from Nikon, is a versatile compact camera offering a unique mixture of stills and video capabilities along with reach to photograph even the most distant of subjects. The 16MP 1/2.3" CMOS sensor features a back-illuminated design that contributes to a high degree of clarity and reduced noise to better suit working at high sensitivities and in difficult lighting conditions. The sensor also permits recording UHD 4K video at up to 30 fps, Full HD video at up to 60 fps, and in-camera time-lapse recording and movie creation.

Complementing the imaging capabilities, the P950 is, of course, distinguished by its huge 83x optical zoom lens, which covers a 24-2000mm equivalent focal length range. This immense reach is benefitted by Dual Detect Vibration Reduction, which compensates for the effects of camera shake in order to realize sharper results when shooting handheld. Additionally, the P950 also features a bright 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, large 3.2" 921k-dot vari-angle LCD monitor, and has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless sharing and remote camera control.

16MP BSI CMOS Sensor and EXPEED Image Processor
Featuring a 16MP 1/2.3" BSI CMOS sensor, the P950 is capable of realizing high-resolution stills and video along with notable speed and sensitivity. The BSI design of the sensor yields reduced noise levels and greater image clarity when working within the expandable ISO 100-6400 sensitivity range. The sensor and EXPEED processor also enables quick continuous stills shooting up to 7 fps at full resolution to suit working with moving subjects.

In addition to stills, the P950 is also capable of UHD 4K video recording at up to 30 fps and Full HD recording at 60 fps. Time lapse recording is supported, too, with in-camera processing to produce time lapse movies at 25 or 30 fps playback.
83x Optical Zoom NIKKOR Lens
The P950's key feature is its impressive 83x zoom lens, which provides a huge wide-angle to super telephoto 24-2000mm equivalent focal length range. This range can be effectively doubled to 166x when using Dynamic Fine Zoom for even greater reach to truly isolate those distant subjects. At the wide-angle end, the lens has a bright f/2.8 design to suit working in available light and Dual Detect VR also helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake to suit handheld shooting. Additionally, the lens's optical design incorporates Super ED glass to suppress a variety of aberrations throughout the zoom range for improved sharpness and clarity.
Body Design
  • Bright 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder is a clear and useful means for eye-level monitoring and benefits working at longer focal lengths by serving as an additional physical point of contact against the camera.
  • For image review and menu navigation, a large 3.2" 921k-dot LCD is featured, and has a vari-angle design to better enable working from high, low, and front-facing angles.
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work in conjunction with Nikon's SnapBridge app for wireless file transferring and remote camera control from a linked mobile device.

Ruggard Hunter 35 DSLR Holster Bag

The Hunter 35 DSLR Holster Bag from Ruggard is slightly larger than the Hunter 25 and holds a DSLR (up to semi-pro size) with lens attached, face down, in shooting position. When you're ready to shoot, simply remove your camera, get the shot and replace your camera in the bag. The zippered top of the bag opens away from your body for fast access to your gear. This also serves as a security feature since no one but you will be able to see inside the bag.

The bag has a water-repellent exterior and smooth polyester lining that helps prevent scratches to the finish of your camera/lens combo. Inside, there are two removable touch fastened strips that can be configured to support your gear.

For storage, there is a front zippered organizer panel, mesh side pocket and two side loops that accept optional pouches. On the inside of the quick-release flap, there are two touch fastened memory card pockets. The bag is carried by its removable shoulder strap, top carry handle or belt loop that will leave you hands free. The zippers have yellow pull tabs that make the bag easy to use while you're wearing gloves.

Nikon P950 Reviews

Works Great

By Joseph
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-02-18

I am quite pleased with the camera and its bag. I'm getting quite sharp images at up to 2000mm with fairly slow shutter speeds. I use it mainly to photograph birds at a distance. The bird setting on the dial seems to set autofocus on a very small area at the center of the view. Hand held photos at those mm and shutter speeds should be somewhat blurry. Apparently the image stabilization cleans up the shake. Real nice.

Love This Camera

My favorite camera-I have a dslr but my big lens is just too heavy for me-this one is perfect for those long distance shots.

The biggest advantage you have is that is gives you a lot of zoom to see things happening on the field, but in terms of over all control and performance capturing movement in lower light situations, this does not do the best compared to others such as the Sony R10III or IV, Lumix FZ1000, or Lumix FZ2500.

Adobe Photoshop Elements uses Adobe's Camera Raw plug-in to convert RAW images in Photoshop Elements. According to Adobe's website, the minimum Camera Raw plug-in version compatible for use with the .NEF RAW files from the Nikon Coolpix P950 Digital Camera would be version 12.2. As long as you upgrade your Photoshop Element's Camera Raw plug-in to version 12.2, it should be compatible for use with your camera's .NEF RAW files.
