Nikon P950 CNY 2022 Cycling Bikepacking with Mountain Bike MTB Pasir Ris Changi Beach

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, Tuesday 1st Feb 2022 was the first day of CNY aka Chinese New Year. I believe it's the year of the tiger. I've been planning to go out cycling either last Sunday or on Tues. It's a public holiday, so, I can rest on Wednesday before having to go back to work on Thursday.

I've also been planning to bring along my Nikon P950 camera. That's why I bought the bike handlebar front bag. I can quickly attach and dis-attached the bag to the holder and bring it along when I need to. Pretty nifty. This way, I don't have to bring along another backpack.

I actually smashed my mountain bike into a metal railing while trying to do a jump at the side of the road and I've forgotten about my camera. I only saw that my new handgrips were ripped and the ring missing. It was only later that I remembered and check it.

Luckily, my camera didn't even have a single bend or scratch. Meanwhile, I hurt my right thumb and scratched my helmet visor. I've decided to order a new one. That visor might actually have saved me from having a broken nose, again.

I also scratched my face and tummy. Only realized it when I look in the mirror after returning home. I don't know what the heck happened. I was confident of clearing the little bump. Might have hit the root of the tree and that askew the wheels to the right towards the railing.

If the railing weren't there, I would have fallen into the big drain. Damn, I was kind of lucky. I checked my nose if there was blood and there was none. Didn't feel any pain and didn't break anything. At my age, it'll be a little difficult to be injured. Yet, I do stupid stuff. Lol!

Well, in spite of that little incident, I had a really good cycling, bikepacking day. I went from one beach to another beach, got a little lost but got back to the track following my Google map. Of course, I took a lot of videos and photos both with my trusty old Samsung Note 10+ and P950.

I should have charged my phone when I'm not using it as it died when I was almost home. I brought two extra batteries for my camera and only use two of them. I'm still a newbie photographer and there are some things I still don't understand how it works.

I'm thinking of getting the latest Insta360 camera with a 1-inch sensor. I like the idea of being able to get great pictures at night or when the weather or places are a little darker. If I had the camera, I would have actually captured my attempt at the jump and crashing stupidly into the railing.

One of the reasons, you don't see any video of me riding the bike is because I can't hold the big P950 at the same time. I even tried using my mobile phone but it shakes terribly when it's on the handlebar. I don't have any good holder for it.






The pictures above are some of the places I cycle to and took with my Nikon P950. You can see more pics and vids on my youtube video. If you like it, give a comment on my video and check out my other videos on my main youtube channel here.

Well, what do you guys think?

Beach Videos & Pics taken with My Samsung Note 10+ Camera


SAMSUNG Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone 256GB US Version Smartphone Pro-Grade Camera 8K Video 108MP High Res, Phantom Black

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I specifically went to the beach last Sunday to take photos with my new camera, Nikon Coolpix P950. Testing the pictures and video quality. Of course, most important of all, trying out the 83x zoom. It was pretty awesome despite the drizzling and cloudy day.

I'm actually more used to taking photos and videos on my mobile phone. Currently, I'm still using my favorite Samsung Note 10+. Yes, I can take photos on my P950 and transfer them via Bluetooth to my phone. It's a bit of a hassle. That's why I decided to also take pictures and videos with my phone.

Those pictures though are meant for quickly sharing on my Instagram, Facebook, and sometimes Twitter. You can add me to these accounts. The only difference is probably the zooming capability. Another feature of the P950 is being able to use the Raw format for your pictures.

I read that the P950 is using the same type of small phone camera sensor. Maybe, that's why some wish that Nikon would add a better sensor for any future Nikon P1100? I also hope, it'll come with better low light capability. That would complete an all-rounder DSLR with high zooming.

I'm intrigued with the Nikon Z 6II FX-Format Mirrorless Camera's claim of low light capability. Why can't they put this into the P950? Of course, the P950 was only meant for wildlife and watching birds. But, like I said, everyone loves an all-rounder.

Talking about better cameras, I'm also intrigued by how good the zooming capability of the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G. Which claims 100x Space zoom. I actually tried taking airplane videos on my Note 10+. It's only able to 10x zoom. But, I managed to zoom to the words inscribed on the side when it was a little near.

I just did a search on youtube and yes, the S21 Ultra 100x zoom is pretty awesome. How cool is that? They finally, make a mobile phone with a camera that can zoom to the freaking moon. And, the pictures are pretty sharp too. Does that make my P950 redundant?

Definitely, if you can do all the things a typical DSLR can do. The best thing about the camera phone is that you can also use it for other stuff. It's already like a mini-computer. The size is also a big factor as you can literally put it inside your pocket. I can't put my P950 inside my pocket can I?

I've been wanting to get the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. It's basically a tablet phone that you can fold in half. If it has the S21 Ultra 100x zoom camera, it'll be perfect. For example, as a Youtuber, I can take a video of the moon, un-fold the phone, and edit the video in tablet mode. Which is much better.

The Samsung Z Fold could be the next evolution of the mobile phone computer. The all-in-one powerful computer that fits in your pocket. For the moment, I'm still happy with my Samsung Note 10+ and using my P950 for that extra zooming capability.



Pictures above were taken using my Samsung Note 10+. I didn't do any editing. Usually, you can edit them before uploading to Instagram or Facebook. For my camera, I've actually bought a UV filter. Which supposedly will make my picture color more pronounced.

Watch my beach videos and pictures taken with my Samsung Note 10+ camera here. You can also watch the ones taken with my Nikon Coolpix P950 here. It was pretty fun to be able to zoom at far-off objects with my camera. Subscribe to my channel for more vids and pictures!
