Nikon Coolpix P950 Day Pictures and Videos of The Moon 83x Optical Superzoom!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I caught a glimpse of the moon in the afternoon and I was thinking, this time, I'm gonna use my Nikon Coolpix P950 to take pictures and videos of it. I've already taken pics and vids of the moon at night. You can watch it here. Subscribe to my youtube channel if you haven't.

I'm still amazed at being able to view the moon this close. I've always dreamed of getting either the P900, P1000, or the P950. I decided to get the P950 because it was offered at half the price. It was used as a store demo. But, still looks great and working fine too.

I was pretty lucky to be able to get the P950 at half the price. Now, I'm really enjoying using the camera to take photos and videos. It's a different feeling than using a mobile phone camera. Although, sometimes, it's much easier and faster to use. 

You don't always bring along your camera when you go out. Unless you intend to use it. Obviously, the advantage of the Nikon P950 is the zooming capability. If you like watching the moon, birds, and nature, this will be the camera to use as you can safely and quietly watch them from afar.

I think I've had this camera for over a month now and I'm getting the hang of using it. I've already got several 67mm camera filters and using them with the P950. But, I forget to test it yesterday when taking the moon shots and video.

I did use the camera moon settings and even tried out the different colors available. I think the blue color makes the moon looks a little too blue-ish. But, makes the pale sky looks more dark blue. I'm trying them all out so that I can choose to use them for other projects.

The most important thing is that I'm really enjoying photography and videography. I love taking pictures and videos with my P950. At the same time, I'm learning lots of new things. There are still many places I haven't been to and it makes me excited just thinking about it.

I already have a couple of videos up on my channel using the P950. You can check them out and tell me what you think of any ideas to make it better. I saved the videos on my Nikon Coolpix P950 playlist. It'll be easier to find. 

Check out some of the moon photos I took with my Nikon P950 below:

I actually found myself relaxing and enjoying the clear blue sky. It's been raining a lot these couple of weeks so, to be able to enjoy this view is nice. That's why I've been wanting to get the Nikon camera with the zoom capability for a long while.

You don't really have to travel far or anywhere to enjoy the scenery. Especially, during this pandemic. I can even zoom in on planes that fly past my area but it's kinda difficult when you don't know their schedule. You can only hear them once in a while from my apartment.

Nikon Coolpix P950 - 83x Zoom Beautiful Moon Shot!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! Got my very own close-up pictures and videos of the freaking moon. I've been wanting to use my new Coolpix Nikon P950 to do that for a while. But, the moon been hiding from me. In fact, it was pretty cloudy at first but it finally shows in full view.

I think I mush it up a little bit though. I had used the moon scene but turn to manual focus. Couldn't fine-tune to be sharper. Having bad eyesight doesn't help. I couldn't really see in the small LCD screen. But, in the end, when I turn to auto-focus, it got better.

I'm still dabbling around with the settings. That's why there's the red or is it orange effect. No matter, as I'm more excited about being able to an 83x zoom close-up of the moon. Wow! it's really incredible. If NASA or any country had built a base there, I'm pretty sure, you can even see it.

Like everyone else, I'm curious about the moon. Yes, I'm also interested to know if there's actually a secret base or even aliens. Okay, you never know. With the capability of this camera, it'll be cool to be able to zoom in on weird things in the sky. Too bad, the P950 doesn't have night vision.

Yesterday, was my first time taking pictures and videos of the moon. I think I can do much better next time. A tripod is really important. There's a certain part of the video which was kind of shaky, as I move it to center the moon. Also, I'll just use the auto-focus and stop dabbling mid-video taking.

I guess that's part of the learning process to use the camera. I'm going out tomorrow with my family to the beach. Of course, I'm going to bring my camera and take some pictures and videos with it. Would be fun and also help me dabble and learn with the camera Scene settings.

I bought myself a 67mm UV filter for my camera. I'm interested to see if it'll improve the quality of the picture. I'll be just using the normal and jpeg setting. I'm kinda lazy to do any touch-up with the pictures I took. Maybe, I'll try out raw later on.

For the moment, I'm just interested in using the camera for taking pictures and videos. I'm already interested in looking and learning about other cameras. I saw the Nikon promo for the Nikon Z 6II FX-Format Mirrorless Camera on their main (Amazon) store. If only I have the money. Lol.

I'm intrigued to know how good it is for low-light settings. It'll be great for a night out shooting funs. It'll be worth the money if you're a professional photographer. Taking photos and videos of movie star night events or whatever. Definitely, not for us mere mortals.

I know they're expensive but, didn't really look at the price till I got the P950. I actually got my camera for half the normal price as it's a demo unit. The good news is, it looks as though it's new and never been open or used. I'm not even sure what they did with the demo unit as I got it online.

There are many pretty cheap cameras available. If you just want to take great fun or holiday photos. Before this, I just used my phone camera which is already pretty good. You can quickly edit it right on the phone and upload it online to youtube or others photo websites.

But, then again, you can't 83X zoom to the moon like the Nikon Coolpix P950!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been dabbling with the settings of my Nikon Coolpix P950 and I'm quickly learning how things work. There are certain things, I'm still discovering though. Like, when I took the midnight view video from my window, I think I could have used the dial on the left side of the camera to focus.

I should have left the settings to AF aka autofocus. I was wondering why the camera didn't autofocus at a certain area. I might have set it to manual earlier. That's why I don't like to meddle around and just left everything to Auto. Especially, when I'm trying to take a photo or video quickly.

The camera obviously comes with the manual booklet but I found the Nikon Coolpix P950 Online Manual website which is pretty useful. I spend most of my time on the computer and find it much easier to quickly search and read the online version.  

In spite of that, I actually think the video capability is not bad. Although, when I look back, there seems to be a lot of noise. It's only after my edits and saving it to 1080p to upload to my youtube channel that the video is much sharper. Especially, with the low light.

I read an article yesterday that taking videos and pictures in 4K is much better. Even though the file size will be much bigger. One guy said that he took videos in 4K and then save it to 1080p for youtube. It's much better to downgrade from 4K as the quality will be much better.

I'm actually waiting for my SD card to arrive. I couldn't find one from the shops near my area. Nowadays, people prefer to use MicroSD cards. There is a lot of debate on which one is better for the camera. Temporarily, I'm using a MicroSD card with an SD adapter. Seems to work fine for me.

MicroSD card technology has definitely improved. All thanks to social media. People are using their mobile phones to take quality pictures and videos for their Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube. Speed is important. I saw a video review where the speed of the SD and MicroSD cards seems to be on par.

In another video, I learned that for storage it's much better if you buy several smaller sizes instead of one whole big size. The reason being, you don't want to lose all your pictures and videos which you keep in that 256 or 512GB. That's a whole lot of projects to lose in one card.



SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXY-128G-GN4IN

For me, I believe, it's much better to use one card for one project. Like, if you're traveling to France for a holiday, just buy storage that's enough for that. If you're taking wildlife in the park, then buy one for it. You can then keep it stored in the card as a backup once you're done transferring, editing and uploading.

Personally, I have lost data from both the SD and MicroSD card. Maybe because of too much usage. It's more with the physical expect of it. Heck, last year, my freaking computer HDD died on me. That's almost 1TB of data. All my pictures, documents, videos, games, etc. Luckily, most of my photos and videos are up on Google photos.

I'm really enjoying learning and using my Nikon Coolpix P950. Like, I've said, I had wanted the P1000 for the 3000mm zoom. But, P950 83x zoom isn't that bad either. I'm still waiting for a good view of the moon from my apartment kitchen. That's my main aim for getting the P950.

Sometimes, the moon will seem so near and so big that I wanted to take picture of it. My smartphone isn't good enough. That's why I wanted the best camera that can zoom in and take good pictures. I'm still learning though. I had to re-take the midnight view video several times before I was satisfied.

I love the design and feel of the camera. It's a tad heavy but I guess, you'll get used to it. I used to be in the military infantry carrying my M203. It's a combination of the M16 Rifle and M203 Grenade launcher. I don't know why holding a camera reminds me of holding my weapon. Lol.

I'm also happy that my HP laptop is good enough and can be used without any kind of lag for transferring, editing videos, and uploading to youtube. I also tried the camera WIFI and Bluetooth connection and it works fine. Next, I'm downloading and trying out the Nikon Software!
