The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

The only reason to consider buying the Nikon Coolpix P950 is its lens, which – covering an equivalent focal length range of 24-2000mm – is extraordinary. There are very few cameras that can match the P950's versatility, although you'll get better image quality and more advanced autofocus from several similarly-priced (but less ambitious) compact cameras.

Birding, travel (especially cruises, safaris etc), and those situations where you need to shoot for the moon – literally;

Landscapes, fast-moving subjects or any situation where critical image quality is more important than zoom range;

“The Nikon P950's 83x zoom lens captures excellent detail, but performance is sometimes sluggish.”

Slow buffer; Ocassional autofocus misses; Annoying battery life indicator

The Nikon Coolpix P950 is an appealing camera for wildlife specialists, but most won't need its exceptional zoom power.

Autofocus struggles with small and fast-moving subjects; LCD doesn't support touch; Larger and heavier than competitors

The P950 is a solid evolution from its predecessor, with a good set of upgrades. If you absolutely must have 83x optical zoom and mostly shoot wildlife, then its reach and quality make it worth considering. But the flagship P1000 isn't much more expensive and there are better options for those craving a travel all-rounder.

Huge zoom; Fully articulating screen; Raw format shooting; 4K video recording;

Relatively small sensor; A bit unwieldy; No touchscreen; Single UHS-I card slot

The Nikon Coolpix P950 ($799.95) is the company's second take on an 83x zoom camera. It's got the same basic bones as the first, the P900—the lens, sensor, and design philosophy hasn't changed. Upgrades include 4K recording, Raw image capture, and a hot shoe so you can mount an external mic, flash, or other accessory. The zoom is definitely overkill for most people, but birders, wildlife specialists, and other photographers who struggle to get physically close to their subjects should take a look.So Much Zoom It's easy to mistake the P900 for an SLR when viewed from a distance—it's bigger than some. At 4.3 by 5.5 by 5.9 inches (HWD) and 2.2 pounds, it's a camera that you're going to want to carry on a strap or in a bag, not one that will get anywhere close to fitting in a pocket. The big zoom lens, and the body to support it, make that an unavoidable fact. We've seen some smartphones promise to zoom farther, but while we describe the 100x zoom power of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultr...

83 times the zoom is not to be missed, but it comes with some challenges.

Extreme zoom with good brightness and relatively good sharpness. Large and sharp viewfinder, good image stabilization. 4K video without cropping.

Not very fast, lacks touch screen and zoom ring. Lots of high noise image noise. Moderate battery life.

The Nikon Coolpix P950's main selling point is its huge zoom range and provided you have a steady hand or a tripod, you can get tightly composed shots of far-distant subjects. There probably aren't that many occasions when you need a 2000mm lens, but it could fun to take away on holiday or on a day...

83x zoom range; Good quality electronic viewfinder with an eye sensor; Can shoot raw files as well as Jpegs

Moderately high ISO results are disappointing; Bulky; 83x zoom range is overkill in many situations
