    • Nikon P950 unboxing
    Before you buy the #Nikon #P950 make sure you do a little research. If you already own a Nikon P900 or P1000 its important to know exactly what this new Ultra #Zoom Camera brings to the table before you decide to invest.
    Here at Superzoom we have looked through what the camera has to offer and here is our quick list of Pros, Cons and one thing to note when buying the Nikon P950. Most of these are based on our experience with the P900 and P1000 so if you are new to the Super Zoom camera space it might be a bit confusing and I apologize in advance.

    I'll be upgrading from my P900 to the P950. I never upgraded to the P1000 because I do travel vlogging on my bicycle and the P900 is small enough to strap on my neck and ride around.
    I do agree that when you upgrade to a newer model there should be some new innovations. That's half the fun. But being I've never owned the P1000 there will be a lot of new fun stuff for me.
    So to sum it up, I think it just depends upon your shooting lifestyle as to whether the P950 is for you. That's always been true for all cameras.

    One thing I'd like to see is a better spread of stops in auto bracketing. One stop max doesn't do it for me when doing HDR. I'm used to 2 or even 3 like on my DSLR. Seems like they could fix that in a firmware update.

    We are seeing the P950 because it’s not a P1000 lite, it’s an upgrade to the P900, and likely a cost saving for them too.sharing more with the P1000. There will be a P1050 or P1100 or whatever eventually so they naturally kept some things back for the new flagship. As format using the same 16MP sensor...I can’t remember the last time I needed more than 4MP let alone 4x that amount. I’d rather have less pixels on a larger sensor to capture more light. Those chasing MPs are chasing exponentially diminishing returns.

    Thanks for the review.
    Yes those bridges are BIG, yes BIG.
    But Bridge Superzoom Digital Cameras are good option for people you want to jump in digital photography without putting too much money on gears.
    I learned digital photography with the #Canon #SX530HS. Lessons learned really help when I bought my first #APSC, #CanonRebelSL2 or #CanonEOS200D.
    And now I own the #CanonEOS90D.
    The 1" sensor Bridge Cameras are a great tool: you have DSLR/Mirroless like features in one body... a bit of wide, a bit of telephoto, Mic and headphones jacks, 4k, ...
    -------------------------------
    #Canon #PowershotG3XMII :
    I Hope #Canon Will upgrade the #PowerShotG3X or #G3X.
    The #G3XMarkII should have a built-in EVF at least, fully articulated touch screen (better?) or a Tilting Screen/display (ok?). The built-in EVF is a must.
    I like the EOS RP body. I think a #G3XM2 will need a new body to include the EVF.
    Why not a #EOSRP body with a fixed lens? The same body with a fixed lens. The EOS RP is not bigger than the RX10MIV.
    camerasize.com/compare/#626,815 (G3X vs EOS RP)
    camerasize.com/compare/#722,815 (RX10MIV vs EOS RP)
    -----------------------------------------------
    #Panasonic #Lumix #FZ2500MII / #FZ2000MII:
    The #FZ2500 or #FZ2000 Mark 2 : a #G90 / #G95 or #GH5 with fixed lens.
    This Bridge is pretty popular one for video content. I think all bridge cameras should be a good Hybrid tool for stills and videos..
    The reason why you will buy a bridge to have a bit of all in one body.
    -------------------------------
    #Nikon a New 1" Sensor Bridge Camera, 20MP like the cancelled #DL24-500:
    The specs of the dead DL24-500 were amazing. ua-cam.com/video/PYsg9rmVceI/v-deo.html
    The #RX10M4 is the king of bridge cameras.
    Other 1" sensor should be able to rival it.
    Is it a good time for Nikon to come back with a 1" sensor like the #DL24500?
    I know the P9500, P1000 have a lot of fans, but a 1" sensor could make a difference as well: More picture quality, less reach (focal length) but a real #Nikon Hybrid Bridge Superzoom for Stills and Videos content.
    -----------------------------------------------
    #Sony #RX10MV :
    Sony should give us a fully (articulated or tilting) touchscreen, fully touchscreen for focusing and to access the menu as well.
    Should Sony work quietly on a new menu system?
    Hope the #RX10MV will keep being the king.
    Sony just added a lot of crazy specs in the#RX100MVII.
    -----------------------------------------------
    Other Bridges people might take a look at :
    #FZ1000MII:

    -----------------------------------------------
    Sensor Size:
    At least 1" sensor, 20MP...
    But what about MFT sensor or 1.5"?
    or a MFT multi-aspect like the #LX100 or a 1.5" multi-aspect?
    While keeping the same body size. A bridge should not be "too big" right?

    Nice video, I own a canon cropped sensor DSLR camera, I want to upgrade my setup for bird and wildlife photography but for that a minimum of 400mm lens is needed which is as costly as Nikon P 950,should I consider purchasing a new lens or this camera. What would you suggest?

    • @SuperZoomVideos
      @SuperZoomVideos  3 роки тому

      Hey MB, I havent used anything outside of the P900 and P1000 so I cant really comment in regards to the Canon. These camera do have smaller sensors but I know a lot of people swear by them for the zoom when shooting wildlife so at worst you are adding another tool to your toolkit.
      My suggestion is find someone who can lend you one so you can give it a go.
      Heres a couple of bird videos to give you and idea of what to expect but i would suggest Facebook for some birding photos.

My P1000 works well and is a very fun camera, I bought it used for $350 have a very sturdy and heavy tripod, custom built mount and a red dot viewfinder. This thing is majac for birding and shooting astro! I handle it without the tripod when out photographing wildlife, gets me up close!!! Just lots of fun!!!

    *What about the HDMI Output ? Is it still limited to ONLY 1080p60, or will it give you the FULL 4K signal ? This is a BIGGIE ! If you want to greatly increase your image quality by using an external recorder, like the Atomos Ninja V, then there's no use if you can only record your 4K internally in the camera without being able to get 4K out of the HDMI.*

      Heya Joe, I haven’t had experience with the P950 but with the P1000 it more to do with the what you are focussing on and not the what.
      So my suggestions
      - is this issue the same across all modes with auto focus
      - have you tried it on multiple subjects and different distances
      - autofocus is terrible if you are recording already
      - all else fails go with a factory reset

    So as a choice P1000 or P950 ? Is the P950 easier to have as a go any where camera compared to the brick size of the P1000? I loved the P610, and used two to destruction as a daily camera. I found the compactness of the P610 perfect as an everyday carry. As a birder I use a bridge camera as a digital notebook, so would I regret not having the 3000 capability if I went for the smaller camera with ' only' the 2000mm capability? Thoughts on those pros and cons from yourself and any users who have experienced both models or regret buying the P1000? Or do I buy a P1000 and a second everyday camera? If so any recommendations? As a former Olympus OM1/2/4 model user , I do hanker after a OMD 10 mk 111. But can I justify two systems? Not really.

    I still have the P900 but upgraded to P950. I love my P950. My thoughts: I like the new features and the easier access to them. I am still having trouble connecting to my phone via Snap Bridge...could be user error but have watched several of the tutorials and still not connected. In my opinion, the 950 stabilizer is much better than the 900. I was going to upgrade to the 1000 but after the reviews about the weight, I opted out. I would have loved that extra zoom, but not at the compromise of the quality of my shots. I really like the size and weight of the 950; it's easy to throw in my larger purses, especially for travel.
    Thank you for your comments, I concur on most and agree that the pros certainly outweigh the cons. Because of posting my images, I have been instrumental in 7 people (that I am aware of) purchasing the 900, 950 and one purchase of the 1000. LOVE Nikon!!!

    I have 2 P900s and have been happy with them.

    My other P900 Im going to retire it as it has issues that I think will be too costly to fix.

    What's the built in memory size and would people recommend adding a 128gig card.
    Is it easy to drag and drop photos off camera on to PC or do I have to use the software it comes with.

      Only one version and it’s 4K, the P900 is the only non 4K of the 3 Coolpix cameras
      No built in memory that I am aware of and yes 128 gig is great.
      I use a memory stick reader and then it’s a lot easier to move photo around, not a fan of the built in software.

    Mike from Ireland 🇮🇪 I just sold my canon 90d and its a great camera even with a crop sensor you do get to use ef and efs glass i got it from my dad with all the accessories but at 1499€ last Christmas I was thinking about the p 1000 i have a error 30 in my my 5dmk 2 so I have looked at alot of super s zoom bridges and I think I will get the p900 it's a little old but I really think it will do what I want IN a camera 2000 zoom is not much different to the 3000 p1000 lens the p950 is nice but the price of a p900 is about €500 now I will save the 500 € for a mirror less r 5 r canon r6 will be nice with the p900 aswell for those shots you would need a telescope with any dslr what do you think I should get hope you get back to me

      Hey mate, if it’s just the zoom and you aren’t worried about the dated tech than there is still nothing wrong with the P900, probably just getting a little long in the tooth.
      I have only used the 900 and 1000 so I am a bit one eyed on the topic but I would lean toward the P950 mostly because it’s a bit more user friendly

    • @wintrymix
      @wintrymix 3 роки тому

      If you put a 1 inch sensor on a superzoom, it will become a canon (not the company Cannon). The bigger the sensor the wider the focal range. Put a 1 inch sensor on a P950 and it will go from 2000mm to 960mm. The gigantic P1000 will go from 3000mm to 1111mm. It will still be a lot of zoom. Personally I might be interested in a 1 inch sensor version of the P950. I could live with 960mm focal range if I could get better low light shooting. But it's still important to have something like the P950 available.

  • @georgerussell8948
    @georgerussell8948 4 роки тому +1

    I have got some reasonable shots with the P900 but any further than @ 1000mm and the haze, pollution, sea mist, fog etc is going to put the kibosh on resolution. Much better idea to have kept the 1000m and up the sensor to 24 or 30 megapixels+ to get awesomely close with amped up res. A pity the Nikon dl line was booted.
