P950 is discontinued now , but you may be able to find a grey import. I have used one for about a year and find it great for birds , you must buy a spare battery though.

It seems like 20 odd years ago when we used to meet at Pendeen, do you still go birdwatching ? I don't get out like I used to be able to.
