Yeah I did the same- read and watched heaps of reviews, watched comparison videos between the 950 and other similar cameras, and decided to buy it because I was so impressed with it, And still am- when it works properly.....
I LOVE the superzoom and have gotten some stunning shots with it, but more than anything, mine has problems with closeups- when I'm not too far away either. It just won't focus on automatic, but when I try to shoot in manual, it does this weird jump back, from the original framing...
Anyway, I will still persevere with it, because I do get great shots from it, it's just frustrating that it's so hit and miss- literally, spot on for one shot and then the next- exactly the same shot-distance, settings, everything but no luck.
I will check out the FB group too, thanks for mentioning it.
I was struggling with the macro shots too, but I don't know if this is me who cannot cope with. I fiddled with the settings and maybe that was my problem.
Oh, I love the moon photos. Really impressed by the camera considering that I have a telescope (didn't use it for a long time).
Yes, I saw ppl on YT talking about the amazing macro ability, but then as I was having sooo much trouble- even fiddling with the settings, I spoke to a camera expert in the shop where I bought it and he said that its not a "true" macro camera....very disappointed I am with that as I was really looking forward to finally being able to get macro shots of insects...
My best friend is a 30 yr professional photographer and even she says that it's a lemon....
Well, that is disappointing.
I managed this shot, but the bug was big for a start. 😀
Yes, I can only get big "macro" shots too.
That is a great shot though!
