Capture stunning detail with the Nikon COOLPIX P950's 83x zoom, 4K video, and 16MP sensor. Includes essential accessories. Order today!

An extraordinary tool for photographers, the Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera offers an impressive 83x optical zoom, covering a remarkable focal-length range from a wide-angle 24mm to an astounding super-telephoto 2,000mm. This powerful zoom capability allows you to capture distant subjects with ease, whether it's wildlife, landscapes, aircraft, or even celestial bodies. The Dynamic Fine Zoom feature further extends this reach to an incredible 4,000mm, providing even greater flexibility for capturing far-off subjects.For those who enjoy macro photography, the COOLPIX P950 excels with the ability to capture subjects as close as approximately 1 cm/0.4", ensuring sharp and detailed images across the entire zoom spectrum. Despite its powerful capabilities, the camera remains highly portable, weighing just 2 lb. 3.5 oz., making it an ideal companion for photographers on the go.The camera's Dual Detect Optical VR (Vibration Reduction) technology significantly reduces image blur caused by camera shake, especially during super-telephoto shooting. This stabilization is equivalent to shooting at a shutter speed 5.5 stops faster, a first for Nikon compact digital cameras. The advanced optical system, featuring a Super ED glass element, minimizes chromatic aberration and enhances image quality, while the 16.0-megapixel backside-illuminated CMOS sensor ensures clear images even in low-light conditions with sensitivity up to ISO 6400.The COOLPIX P950 is designed for speed and efficiency, with faster autofocus and increased buffer capacity allowing for lag-free shooting. Capture decisive moments with ease, thanks to the ability to shoot up to 10 frames at approximately 7 fps in Continuous H mode. This is particularly beneficial for wildlife photography and fast-action scenes.Videographers will appreciate the camera's ability to record cinematic 4K UHD/30p movies across its entire zoom range. The Movie manual mode provides full control over exposure and aperture settings, while the AE lock feature ensures consistent exposure even with changing ambient light. The side zoom control allows for adjustable zoom speeds during video recording.For photographers who prefer post-processing, the COOLPIX P950 supports RAW (NRW) file format, preserving all original settings for detailed editing. The camera also simplifies the creation of dynamic time-lapse movies with its interval timer shooting and scene mode options.The COOLPIX P950's dual viewing system includes a high-resolution 2359K-dot electronic viewfinder and a 3" 921K-dot Vari-angle LCD display, offering flexibility in composing shots from various angles. The camera's intuitive controls, including a Focus-mode selector and a PSAM mode dial, provide easy access to manual and automatic settings, catering to both novice and advanced photographers.Expand the camera's capabilities with optional accessories via the accessory terminal and shoe, such as the DF-M1 Dot Sight for tracking distant subjects. Specialized modes like Bird-watching and Moon mode optimize settings for specific subjects, ensuring excellent results without complex adjustments.Sharing your stunning super-telephoto shots is seamless with the SnapBridge App, which automatically transfers images to your smart device for instant sharing on social media. Additional features like VR ACTIVE mode, Zoom Memory, and Target Finding AF enhance the camera's functionality, making the Nikon COOLPIX P950 a versatile and powerful tool for capturing breathtaking images and videos.

So glad I went through Adorama. Easy purchase

Satisfied Customer

I really appreciated the value offered with the accessory bundle and even more so, the peace of mind knowing that I'm purchasing compatable accessories. As someone just getting into photography, I wasn't sure what I needed ar how best to shop for it.  The bundle gave me a great start. Shipping was fast and I received everything quickly.

Great camera and bundle

It's an outstanding camera for its price and relatively light weight for taking photos of birds as well as other photos. It's easy to carry and use, has multiple setting options, good battery life between rechargings, and gets great photos. I had its predecessor, a Coolpix P900, for four years, recommended to me by a forest preserve naturalist. I recently tripped on a tree root, fell, and ruined the camera. I didn't need to shop around to see if better options were available. I ordered the P950 the same day.

Outstanding camera for toting on hikes and taking photos of birds

This is a fun camera for close or zoom. The pictures are sharp (to me) and I have not had trouble with stability at full zoom. It takes great moon and Sun shots (with filter).  Used it during the annular eclipse.

Fun Camera.

This is my first camera purchase. I wanted a good point and shoot for nature and birding. This camera has allowed me to take wonderful photos while I learn the other features and settings. It's perfect for what I needed it for. I'll definitely need an tripod for as much as I use the incredible zoom.

Fabulous for backyard birds

Great customer support from Adorama.  

The camera has been working great for wildlife photography.  I'm happy with the results and look forward to giving it a good workout this summer!

Easy to use for those wanting to point and shoot yet manual users will also like it.

Great Camera

I'm upgrading from just taking pictures with an iPhone and read a lot of reviews which said you should get the biggest sensor you could for better image quality but since I wanted to photograph wildlife from a distance and was only viewing the photos on my laptop this is the perfect camera. Anything less than this zoom range would be pointless for my purposes. So glad I got this, half wishing I had got the P1000 but I don't think I would be able to hold that still at maximum zoon, it's tricky enough with the P950.

Perfect starter camera

The lens, software and sensor are all excellent, but what earns the camera 5 stars are its well-thought-out, intuitive controls. I use the camera mostly for photographing birds, and the little devils flit around very quickly. A camera that is slow to operate will mostly take pictures of twigs and branches where birds used to be. This one is fast. It focuses and sets exposure quickly, and allows you to place necessary adjustments under your thumb and/or forefinger for rapid access. Birds need exposure compensation, not occasionally but most of the time. Being able to adjust this rapidly and intuitively and see the result in the viewfinder is a joy! The camera is well balanced and points where you look. Both viewfinder and view screen are bright, and the display can be adjusted to show as much or as little as you want. The viewscreen is large. It is not a touch screen, but I don?t want one. This camera is in a sweet spot. The P1000 lens is too long - never thought I?d say that.

Great!

I will preface this review by stating that I shoot RAW and Manual.  I've been shooting like this for years with a DSLR and a mirrorless, so it's a matter of habit, as well as me being happier with the pictures.  I've put this camera on Auto ISO, 100 to 3200, something I haven't done before. The sensor seems to adjust the ISO perfectly most of the time.  It also has excellent vibration control.  I'm quite happy with the one video I took. My other videos with other cameras jumped all over the place. Let's face it, I'm not a videographer.  What I don't like is that the camera doesn't show me battery level.  It's got the little icon, it always shows the battery as full.  Maybe it's just my camera.  I carry a charged spare.  Also, watch where your hands are, or you might be stopping the lens from extending fully (if they are touching the controls on the left side of the camera), or you might accidentally put it in manual focus (why isn't this darned thing focusing?)

A good camera considering how small the sensor is!

After trying two other bridge cameras (Sony, excellent but complicated menus & controls; Panasonic Lumix DC FZ80?.ok but did not quite fit my needs)this Nikon P950 will probably be a keeper?..easy to use (on line videos help), great zoom, heavier than the other two but way lighter than a dslr and long zoom lens.  Having a little trouble with manual focus, but auto focus works well.  Also slower in all aspects, not just aperture, but for an ?always with you?camera having the ability to shoot birds/wildlife at a distance it works well.  Have taken bird photos at 100? away with good focus?would like more detail/clarity but I am still learning the camera so it may be user error.  Would suggest ISO of 1600 or less to avoid grain.  Only complaint is the battery life ?.. will contact Adriana tomorrow about that as it was purchased as new and battery did not last an hour of random photos at a wildlife refuse today.

Coolpix P950

Great camera. A lot different than the P900. Great service from Adorama also. Kept me updated on when it was going to ship. Was a great price as well.

Awesome product, awesome company to buy from

Nikon p 950

Great camera - there is learning curve though and a tripod is necessary for the extreme telephoto!

Love it!

BEST CAMERA IVE EVER OWNED!  Easy, and let me tell you I took pictures of the moon from my front porch with NO TRIPOD and they are awesome!  Getting the snap bridge app to pair with my iPhone was a bit challenging however, Nikon support was excellent walked me though even sent me links for videos and it?s working great

A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 WORDS!

This camera is great for birdwatching. It is like a spotting scope built onto a camera and is great for identifying far away birds.

Bird Watching Camera

It's larger and heavier than anticipated, but seems to be a good camera - I've only used it once.  It is a replacement for a P520 which was the perfect size, weight for hiking camera.  This one is about twice and large and heavier - too big to put in backpack in case of rain.  I would prefer the size/weight of the P520, but that one just up and died and I can't find another one.  While this one is better telephoto, the smaller size would be much preferred - didn't see anything similar to the P520 in size, weight and abilities

Nikon P950 camera

I am currently loving my new Nikon P950!  I shopped around for a camera for months, and I am so pleased with this one!! It's amazing

Nikon P950  The best camera

great camera, easy to use, wonderful magnification and weight is manageable.

very happy with results

Still having focusing issues, and close-up photography is hit or miss.  The zoom is very sensitive to motion.  I like the weight of the camera.  I like the battery staying power.

Getting used to the Nikon P950.

I use this in “Bird” mode and couldn’t be happier. I had been told by others to leave it on bird mode for taking pictures of birds. I am convinced they were right.

Fantastic

I carry this camera in my arsenal wherever I go you never know when you need a really close up so far away

It has great sharpness good quality video very easy to operate are use it a lot in my arsenal

The camera is awesome. I love the 83x zoom lens. The camera came boxed very securely. As for the bundle it was o.k. I had to buy a bigger camera bag as this one barely holds the big Nikon 950. I also bought a larger and faster memory card instead of the one I got, a larger card helps with the raw files. The extra battery was nice to have.

Bundle just O.K.

I’m enjoying my new P950 though it runs VERY differently that my other mirrorless and DSLR Nikons. The “package deal” from Adorama was a solid value but the included camera case was too small for the P950 and the mini-tripod did not match the marketing image. That said, I still love Adorama.

Nice Cam but...

Nikon Coolpix P950

very good camera with a big reach good for birding.
and light to carry and a good price

Coolpix p950 excellent for birding

I’m pleased with the camera very sharp images and a nice telephoto

Impressed from also how lite it was

Loving it so far. Very easy to use. The viewfinder is a huge upgrade from the B700 previously used. I think the combination of size and zoom capabilities will be very handy for wildlife photography. Software package very easy to download and install. Filters work great and add nice layer of protection for the lens.

Seems to be really good fit to use for wildlife photography while hiking.

Great telephoto and stabilization. Best in good light. Not convinced it will be great for birds in flight.
