For me, "freezing" only happens when the battery completely runs out (usually the camera can show a warning and gracefully turn itself off, if it still has power to do that). So check your battery.

In simpler terms, if your R7 w/ 100-400 gets the same bird with more detail than your P950, use the R7 and forget the P950; otherwise, sell the R7 and lenses for a new P950. :-D

Have you compared your P950 and R7 w/ 100-400 at shooting the same bird at the same distance at max zoom? Is the IQ similar when viewed at 100% zoom? Some people say the RX10 IV at 600mm has ...

May as well consider getting a quote from a local third-party repairer.

Sorry to hear the Nikon quote. I think your decision to use your R7 first is smart. The R7 with 100-400 gives a max focal length of 400*1.6*sqrt(33/16)=919mm when cropped to the 16MP resolution ...

I use a 400-yuan (about 55 USD), 1kg carbon-fiber tripod that has a max height of 1.6m. I use such a lightweight tripod mainly for easy transport in a hand bag. More recently I realized that a ...

I still vote for the P950, a new P950 if Nikon can't fix the old one cheap. It's so versatile.

Hmm, an R7 with 800mm reaches sqrt(33/16)*800*1.6=1838mm when cropped to 16MP, really a challenger to the P950. p.s. But the RF 200-800 weighs 2.05kg, and the RF 800 F11, 1.26kg.

Many electronic products with an internal battery (such as laptops) or accompanying battery (such as cameras) can stay in stock for years before getting sold (especially products that have a long ...

Or think of the RX100 VII as an expensive handgun that doesn't shoot far... In contrast, I once likened the P1000 to a Tomahawk missile that reaches thousands of miles away.

Hmm, the P1000 definitely gives you the most bang (zoom) for the buck! :-D

The remaining DSTE "1900mAh" battery lasted 36 minutes in the second test. So I'm going to buy another "1800mAh" battery to replace this remaining 1900mAh battery. The original Nikon battery will ...

My current P1000 arrived on October 31, 2018 and still works like new! Just a thread to celebrate that! (1) Thanks to two Hoya Fusion Antistatic Protector filters which take turns to be cleaned and ...

My remaining, slightly swollen DSTE "1900mAh" battery only endured one 30-minute session and another no-more-than 18 minutes (I checked the camera after 18 minutes in the second session and it's ...

The "Nikon original" battery in this test is the original Nikon 1110mAh battery that came with my replacement P1000 (my current P1000) on October 31, 2018. This Nikon original battery is almost ...

The two "1800mAh" batteries arrived and I just tested one of them against the Nikon original 1110mAh for battery life. Test method My P1000 is set to P Mode, Normal (manual) AF area mode, AF-S, ...

I don't use my P1000 as often as I sometimes used to now, but once in a while when I see a new species such as the common kestrel, getting it with the P1000 is great fun. To me, buying a new P1000 ...

OK, I apologize!
