Hi Wb2rtf, I had the same situation, but reading these forums and looking the bird photos convinced me to go with P950. I hardy see any bird images posted in this forum from SX70. As you said the ...

I had SX50 for quite some time ( purchased total of 3 used ones ). Two of them failed ( not powering up, the other one defaults to AUTO and Mode selector does not work). So I really frustrated ...

Hi Marksee, I believe all of us do that , and I play with my gears more during winter. I may have 1000s of dog's photos from every camera that I own. Thanks, VadiV

Hi ANAYV and others, Thanks for your responses. So far I tried with birds with short distance, will try distant birds. Thanks for sharing your insights and photos. Point and shoot cameras have come ...

Hi ANAYV, You are very right, I bought a refurbished Nikon P950. I am really liking what I see , superb feather details up to ISO400.  This is definitely produces a very nice JPEG image straight ...

Hi Ev, Thanks for your comments. I am getting really good quality  images even with 8MP.  I do not think I need any other camera for stationary birds. I am sure P950 IQ is better than Canon SX50. L ...

Hi Sherm, I agree, I getting used to P950. This is really a nice camera with all feature. I am really happy with this camera - probably all other cameras are going to stored. Thanks, VadiV

Hi DA, Got my P950 today, and tried few pictures in my backyard. Not a sunny day here. Images looks good under ISO400 ( I did not try any beyond ISO400) and without cropping. Viewing at 100% is is ...

Hi DA, I know what you are saying, I bought a used SX50 for the 3rd time. The first one is totally dead, and the second one fully functional but the top turning know has an issue. What ever ...

Hi , I have tons of photos from SX50, here are some of old ones from 2013. Thanks, VadiV

Actually looking at SX40 , I am surprised. Even at ISO 400 , I got very good IQ. Thanks, VadiV

Here are some examples ..... Thanks, VadiV

Thanks Ev, I do not have any plan of returning unless there is some issue.  I have seen IQ from this camera and I used to own P500 and P900. I also bought a FZ80 recently, so far in good light with ...

Hi Ev, Thanks for the link, I ordered one. What is the return policy for these refurbished products from Nikon ? Thanks, VadiV

Hi Ev, Thanks for providing me details on banding - never seen in a small bird. I have seen few time on Canadian goose. Thanks, VadiV

Hi Thomas, Nice pictures and thanks for sharing. I am curious to know why a wild sparrow ( 3rd picture) has a metallic object in the leg ? Thanks, VadiV

Hi Jlina, Thanks for your comments, you are right , I get decent images only during good sunlight with very low ISO. I feel the camera is good responsive. The only issue I have , even a slight ...

Hi Anayv, I have seen very nice images from your P950, and thanks for sharing. What is the maximum ISO you can go without introducing noise. I have been trying to justify $900 for P950 in ...

My subject line in my original thread was wrong - it should be 18MP.

I think your explanation is right, in general I don't get lot of details at 100% of any of Panasonic compare to to my Canon SX10. The only advantage I have seen is to compare SX50 at 100% and FZ80 ...
