I own Nikon D810 and Nikon P900. Looking at specs for P950, the key differences from P900 is a larger, higher resolution viewfinder, 4K video support and ability to shoot raw. Of these, shooting raw would be the most important to me. I've found that I'm often not satisfied with the images that I take with the P900. On one extended trip, I used both the D810 with 300mm lens and the P900 at max zoom and have found the cropped versions taken with the D810 to be better than the images taken with the P900. The 16MP resolution is one of the drawbacks. I also have not been very successful in taking birds in flight with a hand held P900. Auto focus is a lot slower. Though P900 specs are 7 fps continuous mode vs 5 fps for the D810, I've been much more successful shooting birds using a D810 with teleconverter setup for 400mm reach than with using the P900 at full 83x zoom.

The p950 does not have built-in GPS. It has Wifi though. You should check whether it can take locations from your phone which I hear the P1000 does. I would find getting the location from the phone very helpful particularly when taking photos indoors.

Insman,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Purchasing from a store that has a 30 day return policy, no questions asked is a great idea. I'll definitely look into that!

PHRubin,
Thank you for your suggestions. I will check them out. I also like to use a viewfinder.

I had used a bridge camera (or superzoom) for some years and found it useful. It is a Canon SX30 IS which has been replaced for some time now by other newer models which presumably have even better features.
Eventually I need something that gave me more effective sharp pixels in a photo and have found my mirrorless Sony a6000 camera to be a nice upgrade. And it has seemed just as portable and useful in travel. ---Richard

I have the P900 and the P1000 and 2 Sony cameras, but if I feel like taking just one camera with me, the P900 goes along. I am posting some pictures taken at Little River Canyon Falls with it in a little while.

I've used a Panasonic FZ1000v1 for 6+ years, after my Canon G12 stopped working. I've never found the 400 max zoom limiting (my legs still work). Pre-pandemic, I'd travel extensively in foreign locales. The FZ1000 works great for landscape, street, museums, etc. If I was to buy one now, I'd opt for the FZ1000m2.
My PRC travel companion has a FZ300. She likes the 600 zoom and shoots a lot more video than I.
The bad news is, as I get older, the mountains get higher and my legs get weaker. But the good news is so does my eyesight, so the IQ is fine for me.
Whichever camera you get, buy a couple of spare batteries.
