This is what suddenly appeared on my Nikon 950 Coolpix Camera this afternoon and a fully charged Batteries. I’ve tried switching the camera off and on and that has not made any difference ..read more

Hi all... I'm selling my practically new Nikon Coolpix P950. It has maybe 25 images taken with it, and I just bought it in February from BH. I've decided that I no longer wish to carry a camera around with me, but just focus on the birds in the wild, their behaviors, and all that. Comes with an extra battery, Watson a/c battery charger, and BlackRapid crossbody strap. Asking $725, will consider offers ..read more

BTW: I happen to have an old Nikon D80 available. Would it make sense to find some additional lenses for this camera (which, while old is reasonably capable)? If so, which ones? Or, would it make more sense to start new (gulp) with more modern, capable kit? Thanks! Bruce ..read more

Hello all. I have recently purchased a Nikon Coolpix P950. I have used it in a couple of outings, but to date I have only taken pictures in Bird mode. However I am keen to use the camera in the manual modes, my preference being aperture priority mode. Are there any members out there that own a P950 that could offer me some advice on how best to set the camera up. I am keen to improve that quality of the pictures I take ..read more

Hello! I’m a novice bird photographer, and I’m trying to improve my skills. I’ve spent a lot of money on my camera set up, and it’s been wonderful for the past few years; however, I’m often disappointed with my image quality. Here’s the specs and shooting style I’m working with: Body: Nikon D500 Lens: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200mm-500mm F/5.6 ED VR Photographer: Still mastering manual settings, so definitely not the best model I shoot handheld, since I prefer to hike instead of camping in...

Hi all, I would like some advice. I have a Nikon p900 and it is great. However, it does not seem as sharp as it used to be. My photos from Brazil last year (Independent Brazil August 2022: Chapada, Pantanal, Pompeu, Canastra & Campos do Jordao) are so much better and sharper than my photos from Colombia (Independent Colombia (Santa Marta and Central / Western Andes) July 2023) and Morocco (Yet another Morocco trip report! this year. Does anyone know why this might be? I... Read more ..read more

Unlike the Imelda Marcos of Camera Gear I own very few camera's. However last Thursday while I was over the river in York, (Pennsylvania not Yorkshire) I did succumb to making an addition to my camera's. I was in downtown York at the passport office and as I was literally 150 yards from a real live honest to goodness camera shop I made the mistake of calling in. Camera shops are about as rare rocking horse doo doo these day so I couldn't resist paying them a visit. I need a new Rocket Blower... Read more ..read more
