Nikon Coolpix P950 Digital Camera

The COOLPIX P950 from Nikon is a highly versatile compact camera designed for capturing both still images and videos, featuring a powerful zoom and the ability to photograph distant subjects. Its 16MP 1/2.3" CMOS sensor has a back-illuminated design, providing impressive clarity and reduced noise for shooting in low-light and high sensitivity settings. The camera can record UHD 4K video at 30 fps, Full HD video at 60 fps, and also includes in-camera time-lapse recording and movie creation capabilities.

Enhancing its imaging capabilities, the P950 stands out for its impressive 83x optical zoom lens that spans from 24-2000mm. This outstanding range is aided by Dual Detect Vibration Reduction, counteracting camera shake for clearer handheld shots. Furthermore, the P950 boasts a high-quality 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, a spacious 3.2" 921k-dot vari-angle touchscreen LCD, and wireless sharing and remote camera control through built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

16MP BSI CMOS Sensor and EXPEED Image Processor

Featuring a 16MP 1/2.3" BSI CMOS sensor, the P950 is capable of capturing high-resolution stills and video along with highly 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 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.
