The number of occasions when it's possible to take a decent image with a 2000mm equiv lens are extremely limited, due to heat shimmer, atmospheric haze, camera shake, limitations of sensor in low light etc etc. Colors look good in thumbnails, but once you take a closer look at the big JPEGs, everything is fuzzy and noisy. Base ISO and RAW editing don't look like they help much either. I guess that's the price to pay for such a zoom range.

The P1000 was announced more recently in July 2018 while the P900 was announced in March 2015. While both these cameras are very similar, there are a few key differences that will make you choose one over the other. Get Unbelievably Close The camera would sometimes stop responding to all control inputs when photographs were taken at a setting of [ Continuous H: 120 fps] or [ Continuous H: 60 fps]. And once you've taken a couple of boring done-a-thousand-times-before moon snaps, what else is left? Images of distant birds, animals, surfers, planes etc will always disappoint. Better to use skill and patience and get closer to the subject. Given the range of the zoom lens, the Nikon Coolpix P950 shows remarkably little purple fringing, with limited effects in areas of high contrast as shown in the examples below.

I'll have you both know that i have a P1000. It actually has surprisingly good optics. And RAW-processing improves IQ even further. Also staying the same as its predecessor is the 16 megapixel 1/2.3-inch sensor, but there are other improvements to be enjoyed, including a better 2.4-million-dot electronic viewfinder and 4K video recording. Up to 7fps shooting, raw format support and a native ISO range topping out at ISO 6400 also remain from the previous iteration of the camera. Targeted at nature and wildlife photographers, the P950 is the ideal choice for those who like to photograph garden birds or local wildlife, but don’t want the expense and hassle of a multiple lens setup with a DSLR or mirrorless camera.

Diffraction isn't a myth, it is a physical fact. The P950 can certainly take decent shots at shorter focal lengths where the max aperture is larger thus diffraction effects are less. Even if it had a theoretical perfect lens, it could never deliver sharp images at the extreme of its zoom due to diffraction. The Nikon Coolpix P950's Easy Panorama mode allows you to take vertical or horizontal panorama photos simply by moving the camera in the direction of the on-screen guides. Multiple shots are then combined into a single panorama photo. The angle of view can be selected from 180° (normal) and 360° (wide). Easy Panorama - 180° The superzoom class is pretty small, and refreshingly easy to navigate. Very simply, the more you pay, the more zoom you get, and the more likely it is that you'll get nice extras like OLED viewfinders, customizable controls and superior video.
