Nikon Coolpix P950 - 83x Zoom Beautiful Moon Shot!

Nikon COOLPIX P950 Compact Digital Camera with 83x Optical Zoom Super Telephoto Lens Bundle Including Triple Battery + Deco Gear Backpack Bag Case + Filter Kit + Photo Video Software and Accessories

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!

My bro-in-law just gave me an old Sony Cyber-shot DSCH50 9.1 MP Digital Camera with 15x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot. I search around and found out this came out in 2008. Whoa, that's a pretty long time ago!

Actually, my bro-in-law got it from his younger brother. He's not interested in photography, so he decided to give it to me. I was pretty excited as it still looks in a pretty good condition. Well, the outside. The lens needs to be clean from the inside and there's a whirring sound after a while of usage.

The good thing is that it has a 32MB Sony Memory Stick Duo inside and two batteries. The original seems to have a problem re-charging. I know 32MB is pretty small. I'm only able to take a few pictures and at least one short video. 

The camera even has a night shot, which is kinda cool. I dig through my old stuff and managed to find an old card reader that's compatible with my current PC USB. That means I can transfer and saved the video and pictures from the memory stick.

I'm pretty much a newbie and have never owned a digital camera before. I've always wanted one though. I'm interested in taking moon pictures and videos. So, I've been aiming to get the Nikon Coolpix P900 or P1000.

I read yesterday that there might be a P1100. Hopefully, it'll offer much better and sharper moon pictures. People also seem to complain about the quality of the pictures in low light or when taking normal pictures. Personally, I hope for an all-rounder. For the amount of money, you expect it to do everything right?

Anyway, since I've now got the camera, I can use it for practice. The Sony Cybershot itself is not a bad camera. I actually really like it. It's not that heavy and fits right in my small hands. The buttons to access the features on the right (right-hander) are easy to reach and learn.

Even a newbie like me can quickly learn how to use the camera. Okay, I mostly set everything on Auto. I'm kinda lazy to fiddle with the settings. I'm more interested in taking quick good photos or videos instead of having to dabble just to get that one good shot.

Nowadays, people are used to using their phones to take pictures and videos. It's quick and easy. You can take quick photos or videos and then upload them to social media instantly. That's why the camera maker today needs to catch up to that instant gratifications.

You need wifi or data connection ability. Maybe, some quick software editing on the camera itself. I'm a Youtuber, so I'm used to taking videos on my phone or iPad, edit them, putting background music or effects, and then upload. All done on my phone or iPad without the hassles of data transfer like the old days.

I managed to get these moon pictures yesterday using the Sony Cybershot. 9.1MP and around 25+ digital zoom (can't go any further on auto settings) and trying out some of the standard features for different shots.

I actually have a good view of the moon from my 4th-floor apartment kitchen and have tried using my Samsung Note 10+ camera to take the moon pictures but I won't get these kinds of pics. It'll only come out far and blur. That's why I want a good camera like the p1000 zooming capability.

If you watch some moon videos taken with a camera on youtube, there'll always be people who tell you to get a telescope. The thing is, you can also use a camera to take normal pictures and videos. A telescope is only meant for checking out the stars. Duh!

I like taking cool pictures and a good zooming camera that can take sharp pictures even way far out is pretty awesome to me. If you're a nature lover or who likes to travel the world, a good camera is of course a plus. 

Heck, I don't even have to travel far out as I can take the moon pictures right from my kitchen and also beautiful, busy birds outside my house. I've been wanting to take pictures or videos of them and now, since I have a pretty good Sony Cybershot camera, I might just do that.

I need to clean the dirty lens and get a bigger memory stick duo storage first though.
