Nikon COOLPIX P950

The Nikon COOLPIX P950 isn't bad for sport and wildlife photography. Its extremely long max focal length lets you capture very far-off subjects. However, its autofocus system performs badly, so it struggles to keep moving subjects in focus. Its continuous shooting speed is passable, but it has a very small buffer size that may slow you down when trying to capture fleeting moments, as it can only shoot in bursts of 10 photos.

The Nikon Coolpix P950 is an appealing camera for wildlife specialists, but most won't need its exceptional zoom power.
