Battle of Zoom: Nikon P1000 vs. Celestron Ultima80 - who wins the Ultra Zoom battle?

[@dima1353]

The diameter of the objective lens on a telescope is a characteristic of the transmittance, it is the same as the diameter of the aperture, but it is not the same as the filter thread size on a camera lens. The diameter of the aperture on a Nikon is 500/8 = 62.5 mm - this is a 2/3 of a stop behind. In fact, this telescope has a focal length of 480 and an aperture of f/6. So potentially the telescope is ahead because of the lower diffraction impact. But in practice these telescopes have simpler designs and just may not be as sharp as nikon lens. This is a very interesting question. It can be explored if you attach a camera with a pixel size comparable to Nikon to the telescope - for example, Pentax Q. The problem with the phone is that it looks through the eyepiece. But perhaps if you use a telephoto module, or a phone model with a large number of pixels on the main module - you will be able to find the limit of the optical resolution of the telescope.

Very good comparison! You needed to lower the exposure a bit on the Nikon P1000 and the image would appear a bit sharper and better.

Agreed 🙏

Is the P1000 and COOLPIX P1000 the same thing?

[@Pracitcalscience]

Absolutely sir, they're same🙏

[@arooobine]

Very helpful! People saying the P1000 wins, but the point is not by a huge margin. The cheaper scope is a solid option for people who don't want to break the bank. And, it has the benefit of never needing batteries (when used with your eye)

[@huzaifazkansa]

Camera win in all things because in fisheye they win then in future fisheye become more like 3D then 4D it then it them the camera win only because there sensor is big only .

Exactly!!!👍🏻

[@mr.boniato6402]

so 60x Celestron is the same as 125x on Nikon?

[@Pracitcalscience]

Can't be sure, but the observation is really confusing 🙏

[@news7908]

Yes 😂

[@rayhanahmedrahat4313]

The base focal length is higher on the telescope. That's why it looks the same. Camera need a wide focal length as well as telephotos. On the other hand, telescope has one purpose only that is to see far way. You can see the telescope started already zoomed in.

[@yuosif434573]

140=60😂😂😂

[@philipchesleyiii]

The Celestron doesn't use Zoom. It's the wrong word to use. It has 60x magnification. The Nikon uses the word zoom, but it's not really true when it comes to its actual magnification. The human eye sees around 50 mm. What's 3,000 mm focal of the cameras focal length divided by 50mm. =60 60x magnification. They're both 60 times optical magnification, though the fov is slightly different. I'm not really sure why people were saying the P1000 wins. The Celestron is sharper, and that's what matters.

[@hendersonribeirobrandina2120]

[@savageaxis7721]

In terms of optical quality, Celestron was the clear winner - thanks for the great confrontations :) that is, the Celestron 60x optical zoom is equal to 125x Nikon optics...

It would be helpful to do a digital zoom on the Ultima to make the video image the same size as the zoomed Coolpix so we can tell the quality apart.

[@rayhanahmedrahat4313]

It's a telescope. It doesn’t have digital zoom.

[@Clint3571]

@@rayhanahmedrahat4313 Understood. I am proposing to digitally zoom the video with video editing software to make the image the same size as the Coolpix for comparison. Most people are comparing these two images on a small phone screen so it is difficult to see the image quality difference.

Comparing a telescope with a camera is quite adventurous, but not uninteresting. If I want to take photos, I take my P1000; if I just want to observe, I take my Celestron Ultima80. But most of the time I also want to record what I observe, so I prefer the P1000 ;-)

[@lightcatcher590]

Thank you for this video, very interesting. So the 125x of Nikon is like 60x of Celestron? There is another video on KZbin that suggests the same thing, digital devices tend to show objects further than traditional optics. Nikon wins thank to digital zoom, I've got TS 110ED and the power like 125 is very sharp, I'm curious if the additional digital magnification of Nikon is good enough to match the telescopes like mine. It seems that Nikon should double its optical power by digital zoom to be eqal to 125x of telescopes. What do you think? Will you do a comparison with your telescope at 125x or something like such a power? Am l right as far as visible power is concerned?

[@Pracitcalscience]

Completely agreed with you. I will definitely try to make the comparison in the future 🙏

[@Baldis1981]

125x - это не увеличение, это разница между 24 mm и 3000 mm на широком и длинном конце камеры.

[@lightcatcher590]

@eljay5009 It's true but it gives some aditional détails if optical zoom is very sharp because human eyes can't see perfectly the very small details. One must have a good basic image in order to use digital zoom, if it's not the case, the digital zoom gives almost nothing.

thank you for the video. So my conclusion is that the Celstron telescope is better the Nikon camera internal telescope.

[@Pracitcalscience]

You need a t-ring to attach your dslr to the eyepiece of the spotting scope 🙏

Thanks for such a useful comparison! The P1000 is undoubtedly a more versatile tool. In this "academic" test, it loses a little in detail. Even taking into account that the telescope’s light passes through two optical systems. The telescope itself + a smartphone and the image is still better. But the flexibility of settings, mobility and versatility of Nikon certainly outweigh the achievements of the telescope. Thanks for this useful video. I watched it with pleasure.

Also the digital zoom of the Nikon is pretty much crop. You can do the same with the other picture with a software( i did that) and saw that P1000's image quality is way better.
