That's good to know, thanks.
I'm not sure if there is a big difference between the P950 and the P1000, but I'm finding the latter pretty straightforward to operate as well, so far. I've only scratched the surface of the camera's features, but its still easy to get decent pictures straight out of the box without diving too deep into the buttons and dials. I'm sure I'll get around to figuring out shutter speed, ISO, RAW, etc.
