On the Nikon P1000 if you had shot in the 4K/30p mode in stead of 1080/60p and made a few adjustments in the menu to bring down the contrast and image sharpening (or sharpness) the footage would have come out a lot nicer with less stair-stepping and other aliasing artifacts.

[@Drerex]

A lot of harping on the Nikon P1000. For $1000 the Nikon P1000 is a great camera. Even how it stacks up against your ~$5000 canon setup you have there. A little tweaking with the P1000 you will be able to get close to the canon setup. Not bad for a bridge camera. And that's in 1080p. Step it up to 4k and we have a winner.

[@kiisseli1337]

You got surprisingly close with that 200mm lens, considering we have noticed in digital camera professional forums that Nikon P1000 moon detail is hard to beat with any consumer interchangeable camera lens. My 600mm with quality teleconverters can't beat P1000. Sony RX10 IV (600mm equivalent) can't beat it, P1000 wins even with zooming only to 1200mm out of it's 3000mm potential. I don't think any

[@Jayling]

As you know these really aren't a fair comparison since one is a bridge camera and the other an expensive mirrorless camera with telephoto lenses, but it was the equipment I had on hand to test. Anyway, I've found the Canon RF 800mm lens (with and without a 2x teleconverter) along with the Canon R camera gives a better view of the Moon than even my P1000. Now to zoom in even further to get a similar size as the P1000, I do record externally so I can then use the 5x & 10x focusing zoom to get in even closer. It can be subjective but I think the Canon RF 800mm lens plus extender does better than the P1000. The lens runs $899, but of course the Canon R series of mirrorless cameras are quite expensive. Clear skies to you :)

[@marvinisit]

@@Jayling Quite expensive.... the Canon setup you used has to be 3 to 4 times the cost of the Nikon P-1000 so I would expect it to get better... nice rig setup you use to do night photography...

[@kerbberbphotography8336]

@@marvinisit it can be down to 1.6x the cost if using a used EOS RP (same sensor as EOS R) with a used RF 800mm lens. And still perform better than the P1000 :)

[@harrison00xXx]

@@kerbberbphotography8336 Nope, the RP dont have the same sensor as the R, the RP use a an older sensor from the (hated) 6D Mk2, 2016/2017! and the R a slightly newer one and 30MP instead of also great 26,2MP of the RP. But yeah, i love my RP, best camera ever made by canon (for its price), just in wildlife i struggled enough to get a R7 as wildlife/video camera (which improved the quality and easiness of use by a lot!) Btw.... R7 with 4k crop mode is on the RF 800 is about 2000mm or even more, so "high quality" (as much this counts as high). Also, there is an integrated digital zoom for recording up to 10x, not tried yet. I was already impressed with the RP and 800mm, in wildlife the 1280mm with the R7 is again a bit of a learning curve but i guess its awesome for moon captures

[@budekins542]

Hi, can I Please ask you a rather difficult question. If someone hypothetically zoomed in on the moon with a P900 camera and recorded an object flying over the moon - how do they "prove" their video is not a CGI hoax. Can they send their camera's memory card for electronic testing. Or. .does the camera itself need to be sent for an electronic forensic testing?

[@Jayling]

Hello there, Bud. I really don't know how or if it's possible to confirm if something was added in or not, that's beyond me. In this climate nowadays of hoaxers on one end & deniers on the other along with the middle ground including truthers, of folks who really do capture something unusual, well, it always seems to end up being a heated & vile debate. It can be hard to judge anymore in this technological age of what is and isn't real, of who to trust and who not to.

So the P1000 is $999. How much would that cannon camera and Lens cost together? I’m just curious because I’d like to get a camera soon for Astrophotography.

[@Jayling]

Well, there's a big difference in price but one is an all-in-one bridge camera with limited abilities and the other is a full frame mirrorless camera along with lenses. The Canon R runs about $1799, and the RF800 Lens costs $899, and the 2x extender is $599.

Way better abberation on the Canon. The Nikon seems to replace it with a black line? Is it set to AutoWB? That will signif. affect your colours esp. your blues, and especially during blue hour.

[@Jayling]

No, I set all my cameras to 'Daylight' white balance since that was recommended by astrophotographers, so I just always leave that setting on Daylight no matter the time of day. That was a good suggestion though, thanks Matt. :)

[@MattBlytheTheOne]

@@Jayling LOL all I was suggesting was that if you are shooting during blue hour (the twilight hour just before it gets dark when every photo appears horribly blue) that could be why, and also that WB will affect your images significantly. Your camera probably does not have a fault.

I've never used a Nikon D90 before but it does take interchangeable lenses. You won't be able to get the zoom range like the P1000 even with a big lens on it, which would be very expensive too.

It does "roll" during the course of its path across the sky, relative to our perspective.

[@mirror666]

Hello, wonderful video thank you. I'm wondering why with both cameras the moon size seems roughly the same? At 3000mm P1000's optical zoom is 125x, but with the EOS and with the teleconverters you go up to roughly 10x optical zoom? Is that right? If that is so, shouldn't the P1000's moon size look roughly 10x larger because of the 10x larger zoom? Am I missing something?

[@dpackman]

Beautiful!! Ever wonder why the moon is blue and white during the day and not dark and blue like a big rock? And, why is it blue behind the moon?

[@colliedogjoy]

If you use the digital zoom, ie go beyond 83x, and view the footage on an external monitor with a higher resolution than the camera monitor, you will see jaggies (pixelation), or digital lines. Personally I would never bother with digital zoom, just disable it in settings.

[@Jayling]

Hi Ashton - the Nikon P1000 is a fun zooming camera but it does have its limitations as it is only a bridge camera. Please don't let my few problems sway you the wrong way - I've had this camera for 2 years now when it first came out and have used it extensively in all weather conditions to film the planets, moon, stars and sun. It really wasn't fair of me to compare a bridge camera with a full frame mirrorless camera which uses expensive lenses and has much better components, more megapixels, and quite a few menu settings , but still I did it anyway (lol). I love my Canons for the photos they take and the video too, but it's fun to grab the Nikon P1000 when zooming is needed. Good luck in your decision. :)

[@michaelbauers8800]

That is an interesting setup. I would hope an EOS R given the price, along with the necessary super telephoto lens, works better than a Nikon P1000. If not, there's no reason to buy the Canon :)

It's not a 'fair' comparison as one is a bridge camera with the lens integrated and the other a full frame mirrorless camera, but it's what I had on hand to test with.The Canon is much better in low light along with being rich in features, though of course much more expensive with the lenses needed.

Hello, Which one do you prefer taking a photo birds

[@hectoreyesc]

Congrats !!! As always I love your videos even when the P1000’s battery died, you bring a lot of valuable information. I have a few days with EOS Ra and 100-400 canon lens + 2x Extender should be here tomorrow, I’ll try to catch the moon as you did, we’ll see what could happen.

[@Jayling]

Cool! Please let me know how that combo works with the RA. Great filming to you. :)

[@LittleSparrow.]

In your opinion which one is better?!

[@Jayling]

It's subjective so others may feel differently, but I think the Canon R camera did better. I much prefer the Canon as it's a full frame mirrorless camera with better quality and settings, but of course costs a lot more especially when lenses are needed. :)

[@Nonecares452]

Hi Mam . Which Camera is better or the best according to you ? I thought of buying 1 , need your suggestions .

[@Jayling]

Well, for me personally I prefer the Canon cameras but they are a dslr (80D) and a full frame mirrorless camera (EOS R) with expensive lenses, so it's not really fair to pit them against the bridge camera of the Nikon P1000. I love the zoom reach of the P1000 but dislike other things about the camera. A good place to find information on these cameras is over at the DP Review forums: www.dpreview.com/forums/1007 Good luck in whatever you decide. :)

Bonjour de la suisse, je viens de tomber sur vos vidéos, elles sont vraiment magnifiques. Je suis débutante dans l'observation de la lune. Je voulais savoir quel appareil me conseillerez vous ?

[@Jayling]

Bonjour à vous là-bas ! Si vous voulez observer la lune et la filmer, je vous recommande les appareils photo Nikon P900 ou Nikon P1000. Ils ont de grandes plages de zoom et peuvent se rapprocher de très près. Lorsque vous zoomez comme ça, vous auriez besoin d'un trépied, sinon tout serait trop fragile. Bonne chance à toi! (Hello to you way over there! If you want to observe the moon and film it, I'd recommend either the Nikon P900 or Nikon P1000 cameras. They have great zoom ranges and can get in very close.

Hi I'm looking for advice What to get a skywatcher telescope or nikon p1000 ?

[@Jayling]

Hello there. The Skywatcher isn't a telescope or camera, it's just a mount that goes onto a tripod which can track the planets, stars, moon and sun. The Canon R is a full frame camera that takes interchangeable lenses (which can be expensive), and the Nikon P1000 is a bridge camera that has the lens integrated into the camera.

[@darioramirez1037]

Hi Jayling, thank you very much for your video. It was very nice to see the Nikon and the Canon comparison. Could you tell me the configuration of the Canon and the cost estimate of the lens? I have the canon but I don’t have that lens. What kind of lens I need to get for my canon to get the same 3000 mm results of the Nikon for terrestrial view. I am moving to Colombia and my house is going to be in the mountains with a valley view of 3 to 15 miles. It seems that the Nikon does fairly well in that range but I want to explore with my canon with out buying the Nikon P1000. Your comment would be appreciated.

[@Jayling]

You're very welcome, Dario. On the night this video was filmed I was using the Canon EF 70-200mm F/2.8 IS III lens with two 2x teleconverters to make it 280-800mm. It's pretty much impossible to get the range of the P1000's 3000-12,000mm. The only way I can do it is by recording externally to the Atomos Ninja and then using the camera's 5x or 10x focusing zoom to go in further. This can't be done when recording in the camera or when taking photos, just for video when using an external recorder. You may be better off getting the Tamron or Sigma 150-600mm lens for those distant valley views and if you want further reach pick up a 2x teleconverter to make it 300-1,200mm. Tamron lens: amzn.to/3uJLLFo and Kenko 2x teleconverter: amzn.to/3GDDLIk (the Tamron 2x teleconverter costs twice as much as the Kenko). Good luck to you and may your move go smoothly :)

nikon p1000; hey hows the focus. a youtube review says that the focus is crap. he said its the most frustrating camera ever. he also said something about min30seconds interval shooting. is the camera crappy?

[@Jayling]

Hello there, Jonny. Yes, I find the manual focusing with the P1000 quite frustrating also. There is an optional Nikon bluetooth remote that can be bought which allows you to focus and even zoom with the remote, but the only problem for me is that the bluetooth remote doesn't work when recording externally through the hdmi cable like I do, for other people it might be perfect though. I don't know about the interval shooting - sorry, The P1000 can be a fun camera with the best zoom range out of all brands, but frustrating at the same time with limitations as it's a bridge camera. :)

[@jonnydazzels1565]

@@Jayling he said auto focus sux too. what about your canon? whats the price and camera and lens?

[@Jayling]

The auto focus on the P1000 seemed adequate although I mostly film with manual focus and settings because of the type of shooting I do. It's not really a fair comparison with a bridge camera like the P1000 which has the lens integrated into the body and a full frame mirrorless camera like the Canon R series which take interchangeable lenses. Personally, I love the Canon mirrorless. If you look down in the description box, I have all the gear used listed there along with links.

Very nice. I had the Canon R. Now Have the R6. I usually take photos of moon with my Panasonic Lumix but want to start using R6. I currently have 1st Gen 100-400mm lens. It looks like you’re videoing so you can magnify even more?

[@Jayling]

Congrats on your R6!! Oh, and your Lumix also. When recording externally to an Atomos Ninja, you can use the 5x-10x focusing zoom to zoom in even further, but sadly can't capture it if you record internally to the camera so an external recorder is needed. So your 100-400 would be 500mm to 2000mm at 5x and of course 1000mm to 4000mm at the 10x focusing zoom. I'd highly recommend getting the RF 800mm lens. You can get some great shots of the Moon and brighter planets with it. I love that lightweight lens and it's quite inexpensive also. Something that amazes me about it is, if you use the RF 2x Extender with it (which is expensive), that puts it at F/22 1600mm and it can actually still auto focus - it's insane! Anyway, congrats on your gear - great filming to you, Jo :)

@@Jayling oh, so, at F22 with 800 do pictures suffer with lighting if it’s not bright outside? I take a lot of wildlife photos so many pics are dusk/dawn.

Jo, the Atomos Ninja is an external monitor/recorder. I've been using it for many years now and love love love it. It's not only great to have a bigger view screen with either the 5" or 7", but they of course are recorders also. I use a SSD drive in them. The links are down below in the description box of each video. Oh, and the RF800 lens is actually F/11, it goes to F/22 with the RF 2x Extender. I can't really comment on the lighting of dusk and dawn for wildlife since I don't do that type of shooting, sorry. :)

Hi there, this was filmed a long time ago so I don't know what settings were used, though sometimes I mention it in the videos. The settings can change quickly depending on the time of day/night, even if it's just a half hour later. The best way to do things is with Manual settings and just experiment until you get it properly exposed. Good luck and great filming to you. :)

Hello there and congrats on your P1000. I went through so many video panheads and ball heads before going with this small lightweight telescope mount. It's the SkyWatcher AZ-GTi goto mount which is controlled either through a free app on your phone or with an optional handset. The only other thing you'd need with it is a Dovetail L Bracket to attach the camera to the mount. Mount: amzn.to/2YFiVDm L Bracket: amzn.to/2jOJ5UW Good luck to you :)

You're very welcome. I know the problem you are having when zoomed in so far which is why I was constantly searching for a different mount all the time, until this. Hopefully you'll be able to find one at a decent price (up here it runs $379). Good luck! :)

[@johntrotter4338]

Hello miss D hey both cameras looked pretty good to me however I'm leaninf towards the p1000 what do you think?

[@Jayling]

It's a hard choice and depends on exactly what you want to do and how much expense you're willing to forego. The P1000 is probably the most extreme zoom camera there is and gets great shots of the Moon, Sun, Saturn & Jupiter, where Mars and Venus will be pretty much a blob. It's very difficult to find the planets though because the camera has such terrible low light and all you'll see is blackness - it can be quite tricky to find them. To get good shots of the nebulas and constellations, a camera with better low light and interchangeable lens with a wide aperture are best. Good luck in whatever you decide, John :)

[@mikesmith3866]

Check the prices on both. One costs probably 5X the other.

[@MrNaufan]

Which setup produces the best and sharp image quality in your opinion? Is it the Nikon P1000 or the Canon?

[@Jayling]

The Canon by a long shot (though I didn't have a good focus tonight). It's not fair to compare the 2 as one is a full frame mirrorless camera which uses expensive telephoto lenses and the other a bridge camera with the lens built in, but still I did. :)
