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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?)

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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