    Nikon P900, Nikon P950 or Nikon P1000

    I'd say it's a very good deal, with the caveat that it depends on where you're buying it from. Obviously you want a warranty with it. In my experience, when reputable camera shops advertise a product as in good condition, they mean what they say. I've no idea on whether that's the same with eBay...

    Nikon P900, Nikon P950 or Nikon P1000

    I reckon there is more to the colours and overall look of the picture than the camera and its settings. It's useful to illustrate with pictures that which is being claimed. So, here are three Wheatear and a Siskin courtesy of the P950. The first picture was taken early on the morning. It...

    Nikon P900, Nikon P950 or Nikon P1000

    I go the other way, Peter, and always use aperture mode. I don't think these cameras can handle ISO at much higher than 400. In fact, that's the highest I go with my camera: 400 when it's cloudy but a bit of sun is getting through; 200 on a bright day. I don't notice much difference between 200...

    Stonechat courtesy of the Nikon P950. In terms of settings you mention, there is nothing extraordinary about the settings used here. Most criteria is on neutral. Aperture mode. What's happened there, is that I've stepped to the side a bit and let the sun shine on him. To each their own, but...

    Nikon P900, Nikon P950 or Nikon P1000

    I think the P1000 should get you better pictures in general given that the zoom means you're going to be in range more often than the P950. When I bought the P950, I discounted the P1000 due to the increased weight and increased difficulty in keeping the camera steady. In hindsight, both were...

    Again, 'think it depends on the user, Peter. I've never considered the focus to be a problem but maybe that's due to the way I take pictures. I agree with what you're saying about reach. When I change camera, it won't be for another bridge camera/superzoom. I think it can work in dull...

    Nikon P900, Nikon P950 or Nikon P1000

    'Suppose it depends on how you use your camera. The P950 suits me except the small sensor. In the event Nikon manufactured a superzoom with a larger sensor, same zoom, then that would be perfect. I do not think that's realistic, however. For someone like me, there's nowhere to go except to a...

    Nikon P900, Nikon P950 or Nikon P1000

    Aye it does. From memory, I think the differences between the P950 and the P900 are: improved image stabilisation, RAW shooting option, and maybe a few other bits. Does the P900 have active dynamic lighting? I find that very useful on the P950. The cameras have the exact same sensor size and...
