Bridge Cameras
Re: Bridge Cameras
What do you use for a camera case or bag? I'm considering a Case Logic SLRC-201, hope it will fit!

Re: Bridge Cameras
I use a case for general transport but not when I’m on a shoot. Currently I don’t have anything for the P950. I’m using an old one for the W300. It is really a rugged camera in its own but having a case for it when in general transit will extend its life.

Re: Bridge Cameras
Looks like you have a good fit for the W300. Keeping the dust and dirt off is probably just as important as being dropped.
Do you use a screen protector on your P950? I have not seen anyone mention how durable the screen is.

Re: Bridge Cameras
Not yet even using the 950. The screen tilts and swirls. Offhand I would say this camera is not very durable compared to the plastic on the W300. It’s not only the screen but the entire camera needs to be protected.
Always wear a strap.

The P1000 arrived today...what a tank! Overall it looks very well thought out, it has some weight to it but it feels good in my hands. All the buttons are ergonomic to my thumb and index finger. I took a few pictures and downloaded them to my phone using the Nikon Snapbridge ap. I also bought the instruction book written by Alexander White. Compared to the user manual that came with the camera, that was a good investment.
I have a fat squirrel running around in the backyard making daily visits to the corn feeder. If he'll sit still long enough, he may be my first subject.
Good advice on wearing a strap, I definitely want to be tethered to this one!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Now I wish I bought the P1000. Seriously the buttons and controls are easy to use.

Re: Bridge Cameras
Where did you buy the P950? If you haven't even used it yet you might be able to return it and get the P1000.

Re: Bridge Cameras
At the rate Amazon was selling the P1000 over the past week, (24 in 7 days) I don't see the price coming down on them until Nikon releases the next bell and whistle. I hope it doesn't get bitter cold anytime soon, I'd like to take some outdoor pics but I don't want to do it with gloves or put the camera through a freeze and thaw cycle that creates internal and external moisture. I may have to do it from the pickup with the window rolled down.

Re: Bridge Cameras
I treat cameras like firearms and try to keep it cased when bringing it indoors from the cold. After a few hours they have warmed slowly with no condensation.Stray Cat wrote: ↑Mon Dec 21, 2020 12:31 amAt the rate Amazon was selling the P1000 over the past week, (24 in 7 days) I don't see the price coming down on them until Nikon releases the next bell and whistle.
