There aren’t many bridge cameras left, but they still offer some of the longest telephoto zoom lenses available in one camera. If you don’t want the newer Nikon Coolpix P1100 with it’s 125x optical zoom lens, and huge camera size, then the next logical choice is the Nikon Coolpix P950, with still a whopping 83x optical zoom lens. It’s available for under $800, making it a great deal, from Amazon US.
Although it’s worth noting that this camera has been out for a long time now, so new models are getting harder to find. Amazon is a marketplace selling both new and used cameras, from a variety of other retailers, so always double check before clicking buy now.

In our Nikon Coolpix P950 review we said “For those that are keen to shoot distant subjects – such as nature – it also makes a lot of sense too. You won’t get the sharpest pictures in the world, but those that you do get are pleasing enough and if you’re mainly about recording what you’ve seen, rather than hoping to win prizes, it should more than satisfy you.” The camera is available in limited quantities, brand new, with a lot of sellers offering it for sale used, but if you find one in good condition you can save a lot of money.
