Nikon COOLPIX P950 Black
A 16MP 1/2.3-inch sensor pairs with an 83x optical zoom lens (24–2000mm equivalent) for unmatched reach in a fixed-lens compact. The fully articulating 3.2-inch LCD and 2.4M-dot EVF simplify high/low-angle composition, and 4K/30p video adds everyday versatility. This camera best suits wildlife observers and birders who need extreme telephoto in a single, all-in-one body without the weight or cost of interchangeable super-telephoto glass.
