Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera (Black)

The 83x optical zoom of the Nikon COOLPIX P950 covers an incredible focal-length range, from wide-angle 24mm to super-telephoto 2,000mm and everything in between. With a zoom this powerful, you can capture distant subjects far beyond the reach of an ordinary camera-from birds and other animals in the wild, to distant landscapes, aircraft and even planets. Dynamic Fine Zoom, an enhanced digital zoom that effectively doubles the reach to a 4,000mm, allowing for even greater zoom potential. At the other end of the spectrum, macro photography can be captured as close as approximately 1 cm/0.4 inch. From extreme close-ups to extreme zoom, the COOLPIX P950 delivers sharp, clear and beautiful images, all in a compact, highly portable body. Super-Telephoto and Super Portable The COOLPIX P950 puts the incredible power of a 2,000mm zoom lens into a compact body that weighs just 35.5 ounces. This combination of portability and super-telephoto performance is incredible, giving photographers the freedom to take their creativity to exciting new places. Dual Detect Optical VR for Reliable Super-Telephoto Stabilization Image blur can be a major issue, especially with distant subjects and super-telephoto shooting. Thanks to its Dual Detect Optical VR (Vibration Reduction), the COOLPIX P950 effectively reduces image blur caused by camera shake for sharp images of distant subjects even when shooting handheld. In Normal mode, images are stabilized with an equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed 5.5 stops faster, the maximum in the history of Nikon compact digital cameras. Superior Optical Performance for High Image Quality The COOLPIX P950's advanced optical system features a Super ED glass element used in Nikon's heralded DSLR lenses, which provides higher image-forming capability and effectively reduces chromatic aberration, dynamically achieving superior image quality with super-telephoto shooting. The back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, with 16.0 effective megapixels and sensitivity up to 6400 ISO, enables the capture of clear, sharp images even in dark shooting situations. Faster AF Speed and Increased Buffer Capacity for Lag-Free Shooting With the Nikon COOLPIX P950, you don't have to wait for image data to write to the memory card before your next shot. Thanks to an increased buffer capacity, you can fire two consecutive bursts in Continuous H mode (up to 10 frames at approximately 7 fps). Combined with faster AF performance at the telephoto end, it's easier than ever to pin down decisive moments and once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunities when shooting elusive wildlife or fast action. Cinematic 4K UHD Movies The COOLPIX P950 can record high-quality 4K UHD/30p movies across its entire zoom range, from 24mm all the way up to 2000mm. In Movie manual mode, you can completely control exposure and aperture settings for footage that looks just how you intended. AE can also be locked, even when ambient brightness changes significantly during movie recording. You can even choose the zoom speed during video recording by selecting one of three options with the side zoom control. RAW (NRW) for Stills With RAW (NRW) file format support, full-resolution still images can be saved that contain all the setting information from the time of the shot, allowing post-capture image editing of white balance, exposure and COOLPIX Picture Controls without affecting the original. Time-Lapse Movies Made Easy Dynamic time-lapse movies of landscapes and more can be automatically created from a series of still images captured in interval timer shooting. Just select one of five scene mode options and the most appropriate interval is automatically set.
