Ok, good news Nikontech USA have also
posted the 1.3 firmware, so it's now available for all 950's (PAL or NTSC).
Version 1.2 and 1.3 improvements
- Increased general brightness of LCD monitor
- Added function: Auto Sensitivity, increases sensitivity
in low light.
- Matrix Auto White Balance
- Auto File Numbering setting in [A]-REC mode (was previously
only available in M-Rec)
- Improved brightness of LCD monitor in low-light shooting
Improvements and bug fixes in version 1.3 (in addition
to 1.2)
- Improvement in white balance control in fixed aperture
mode
If you select fixed aperture mode in manual white balance mode, the
image sometimes becomes green. This problem has been solved.
- Improved manual focus accuracy
With some cameras, when manual focus is set to infinity, the focus became
inaccurate. This has also been overcome.
- Condition under which Preset white balance data is
reset changed
With Ver. 1.2, the set value by preset white balance was reset when
fixed aperture mode is set to off. With Ver.1.3, the value is not reset
when this mode is turned off.
Duh! Can someone explain to me why NikonTech
USA changed their domain name from nikontechusa.com to nikontech-usa.com
without informing anyone.. sigh.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
