The Nikon COOLPIX P950 is distinguished by its extensive zoom capabilities, making it a highly adaptable compact camera that seamlessly combines still photography and video recording. This camera is designed to capture even the most remote subjects with ease. It is equipped with a 16MP 1/2.3" CMOS sensor featuring a back-illuminated architecture, which enhances image clarity and minimizes noise, particularly beneficial for high-sensitivity shooting and challenging lighting environments. The sensor also supports UHD 4K video recording at up to 30 frames per second, Full HD video at up to 60 frames per second, as well as in-camera time-lapse and movie creation functionalities.

In addition to its imaging prowess, the P950 is notable for its remarkable 83x optical zoom lens, which spans a focal length equivalent of 24-2000mm. This extensive reach is enhanced by Dual Detect Vibration Reduction technology, which mitigates the impact of camera shake, resulting in sharper images during handheld shooting. Furthermore, the P950 is equipped with a bright 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, a large 3.2" 921k-dot vari-angle LCD monitor, and integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities for effortless wireless sharing and remote control of the camera.

16MP BSI CMOS Sensor and EXPEED Image Processor

The P950 is equipped with a 16MP 1/2.3" BSI CMOS sensor, which allows for the capture of high-resolution images and videos, demonstrating impressive speed and sensitivity. The back-illuminated (BSI) architecture of the sensor minimizes noise and enhances image clarity across an adjustable ISO sensitivity range of 100-6400. Additionally, the combination of the sensor and EXPEED processor facilitates rapid continuous shooting of still images at a rate of up to 7 frames per second at full resolution, making it ideal for photographing moving subjects.

Beyond still photography, the P950 supports UHD 4K video recording at frame rates of up to 30 fps, as well as Full HD recording at 60 fps. It also offers time lapse recording capabilities, complete with in-camera processing to create time lapse videos that can be played back at either 25 or 30 fps.

83x Optical Zoom NIKKOR Lens

The P950 is distinguished by its remarkable 83x zoom lens, offering an extensive focal length range equivalent to 24-2000mm, spanning from wide-angle to super telephoto. This range can be effectively extended to 166x through the use of Dynamic Fine Zoom, allowing for enhanced isolation of distant subjects. At the wide-angle end, the lens features a bright f/2.8 aperture, making it suitable for low-light conditions, while Dual Detect VR technology minimizes the effects of camera shake, facilitating handheld shooting. Furthermore, the optical design of the lens includes Super ED glass, which effectively reduces various aberrations across the zoom range, resulting in 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.
