Very informative and to the point review. You talk fast, but it's just the right amount of fast, rapidly dishing out info while not wasting people's time. Man if I was from over there I'd come and buy it at your store. Quality content. Bravo.

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Thank you very much Xanos, I'm glad you found it informative. All the best

I have had mine for less than 2 weeks & it is amazing. Nothing is messed up & blurry I have very clear pictures of the Sun, Moon, Stars & Plasma like bubble wrap. Sun simulator, cloud makers, triangle ships that hide in the chem trails.

[@lucafurini9903]

Good morning, congratulations for the review. I would like to ask you or the other P1000 owners who write in the comments if with this camera it is possible to take a clear photo of a target, e.g. man or large bird, at 6 km, or even 10. I would be willing to purchase , but for activities over these distances 🙂. Thank you!

[@BIZPIX1]

@digiDirect you didnt mention how much motor/gear noise is prevalent when using video? How much does this intrude on the video? Will an ext.mike eliminate this?

[@exploringworldbeauty]

Hi, is there any way that I want to add zoom size while taking the picture? For instance, if I am using 30mm zoom size, I want it to be on my picture.

[@PatMcGowansChannel]

What do you mean by "clean output" to HDMI? Does this camera output "flat" or "raw" video profiles? is the output 4:2:2? Internally is it 4:2:0 or 4:2:2? What internal and external codecs?

[@VirtualR]

What is the delay like between shots? I'm keen to find a camera for sports, but I would need to be able to take multiple shots per second

[@BARAKABLESSING]

Buying it this summer

[@Ash-ft5su]

Very nice video! Thank you.

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed

[@rainer4030]

What is the minimum distance on 2000 mm? I hope it is 5 m or lower. Because the P900 has 5m. 7m on 3000 mm is about the same magnification of 2000 mm @5m.

[@AyoolaBoyejo]

Does the screen still work when recording to an external recorder?

[@noornabila3458]

[@tonysantana7415]

Greetings, I have a Nikon Coolpix P1000 and it gives me this error when I turn it on. THE CAMERA WILL SHUT OFF TO PREVENT IT FROM OVERHEATING. I would appreciate information on how to solve this problem, since it does not let me do anything. Thank you Jose Antonio

Thinking.. wow the moon must be closer then we think. Amazing zoom

[@richardboldt3553]

Bro... Real as fuk it's gotta be.... Like mfs put that topic aside for what? I don't know.... But I seen the moon zoom tests...it's nuts right, "they" say that you are only able to see what your eyes allow you to, there fore cameras produce the true images and often reveal the hidden

[@Yatukih_001]

I´m interested in using my Nikon Coolpix P - 1000, first and foremost for bird and lunar photography. Are there any lenses which can be added to the Coolpix 1000´s lens - apart from the two ones that are currently being sold on amazon.com and amazon.co.uk?

[@richardgoold3306]

Dose it still have the Sunset/star, star trail time-laps modes as the P900 did?

[@99subigt]

Can I still use this camera to take pics 3or5 meters away? I mean I have a nice cell phone for that but let's say I want to play and believe that I'm a pro- photographer and family comes over, can I take this and take nice pics at close range?

[@TinthiaClemant]

I realize this might seem foolish but I am a novice - is the zoom optical or digital? Thank you.

[@JochenRoth]

Thank you very much for the very informative video on the P1000 and congratulations - you are the first who has noticed the difference in the diopter of the P900 and the P1000. Also that you wonderfully explain, where is the difference between a full-size 1 inch sensor and the much smaller P1000 sensor - thanks for your reference. Otherwise, your video is very informative and competent explained. Thank you !

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Thanks Jochen, glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful!

[@YOLOnyc]

The sensor is less than 3/16", or about 1/6th the size of a 1" sensor.

[@pictainment]

I love a lot zoom... But you always face artifacts in the air if you go above 1000mm (equivalent) sometimes even Less. In that case the pictures simply doesn't look good. So you can simply stay with a regular zoom camera and grab for a bigger sensor. Gives you way more opportunities

[@ufosaboveus]

I owned the P900 for years and it was great but I had many instances where I wanted more. I now own the P1000 and unlike so many here, I like mine. The 4k video is great. The zoom is also great but you have to be smart about it. Trying to use it at full zoom when hand held is stupid. You simply have to use a tripod to get good pics at full zoom. Also when I say tripod, the $20 ones from best buy don't count. Get a good sturdy tripod and you will get the maximum out of this camera. Oh and one more thing... the part I am disappointed about is low light. Nikon should have really upped it to a larger sensor to do a better job in low light. As it is, I am forced to bump up the iso in low light and of course it adds grain. The best compromise I have found is 400iso and shutter speed of 250th. Then the pics are still reasonable quality. A good tripod is of course a must when doing that at full zoom. I like my man froto but there are many good tripods out there. Just plan to spend a couple hundred minimum for a good tripod if you are buying the P1000

[@harrycoffeynield6941]

ufosaboveus zoom is so noisy ruins all videos. That’s why i didn’t buy it.

[@panthera8115]

bought my self a p900 yesterday and i am very happy. i am also "interested" (know alot about it) in ufos, when i see one i will film it lol. i made already alot photos and ye it a great camera, but you feel that she is a bit older, but thats not a problem for me. i paid 370€ for it with 5 accus (4 better accus + original one, each costs 20€) and a very good bag for the camera. new price was about 650-700€ in 2016 so i would say 370 is three years later a good price. as a student that was the maximum i could effort. have fun with your p1000, really cool camera and even 4k! p900 "only" shoots in 1080p and 50fps which is ok.

[@ufosaboveus]

Panthera, you will love the P900. I got several good ufos with mine and lots and lots of video footage of the moon that was interesting. Also great camera for wildlife photography. The P1000 does have a lot more zoom and the 4k video which are both nice but it really does require a heavy duty tripod for sharp pictures. I use a man froto on mine and it really tames the vibration. Both P900 and P1000 are great cameras.

[@hdkloh6857]

All these Extreme Zoom Cameras provide additional image stabilization on regular image stabilization...

I got one. I tuck to the Philippines to my home there. The only problem. It doesn’t like the hear. The AF stopped working twice. First time for a couple of days. The second time for 2 weeks. I will keep it but it won’t be my travel camera. Planing on getting me a Canon EOS 90D to replace as my travel camera.

[@zaferustuner8992]

I hope some U.F.O. people buy this camera so we dont see ambiguous vibrating spots anymore.

[@peterharwood5705]

No you'll just see blurred ambiguous floating spots?But definitely vibrating with the poor image stabilisation 😂

[@bend.8888]

As you know, UFO photos are ALWAYS blurry to the point of not being able to tell what they are because they are all fake. This camera was designed to never take a clear picture so it fits right in. I've sent two back and will not try a third.

[@nlkg7942]

[@StarNumbers]

I hear the P1000 cannot be fitted with an IR sensor/filter. But the P900 can be. IR brings a whooole new dim to photography.

[@djbosnick1072]

Can anyone make out that the lens hood "make & model" info in the video? I want to get one for my P900 - even though from what I understand, it's not recommended to add anything. The P900 takes amazing wildlife photos, moon shots, aircraft passing overhead...and interesting "UFO" shots that I suspect might be satellites?? I have had mine since 2015, and had to ship it to Nikon a couple of years ago for repair to lens. Not cheap, but alot less than upgrading. There have been plenty of times when I'd like to have more zoom, (grizzlies in Glacier NP last month!) but its usually when I have no tripod. When the lens is fully extended hand-held this one is heavy. The camera shake is hard to avoid - ESPECIALLY if it is windy...or you're real nervous... When I have seen them on websites in recent months, the P900's are more expensive now than when I bought mine in '15. I think mine has been worth every penny.

New reply on "I have a Canon Rebel T7i camera, I can't take nice pictures and the phone looks better so I want to take distant pictures and her lens is the kit, 18 x 55mm. I was researching the value of the 70 x lens 300mm with stabilizer and the price is high, I am told that the Nikon Coolpix P1000 because I am not even an amateur, it is for my hobby to admire that it is worth to stay with Canon or exchange for a Nikon Coolpix P1000, what is your opinion? Is a Nikon P1000 detail professional? Thanks

[@user-yt5tt9sw6f]

The Sony a7R4 has a 61 megapixel full frame sensor. The P1000 has 16 megapixels. As far as I can see, you can crop an image taken with Sony's a7R4 to a quarter of the original image and then obtain the same resolution as with the P1000 = 16 megapixels, which in that case would mean that a correct comparison between an image taken with the P1000 and 3000mm and sony with 2X teleconverter and 600mm = 1200mm corresponds to an image of 4 x 1200= 4800mm if you use Sony and crop to the same 16 megapixel resolution. Am I right or wrong? On the other hand, if the largest aperture that the P1000 has in the 3000mm = 8 mode, Sony's zoom 200-600mm with teleconverter cannot measure up to this, since the Sony zoom is at aperture 6.3 at 600mm and with the 2x converter loses a step to aperture 11 ? I think it will be. How do other properties such as dynamic range and other important features of the P1000's tiny sensor compare to Sony's full frame, even if you only use a quarter of it when you crop the image ???

[@farhadtarapore]

Image quality will be akin to a smartphone with the 1/2.3" sensor which is similar to what is found on smartphones.

Thank you very much for this review!! I've been drooling over this camera since it was announced back in 2018. In my country, Chile, the price it's 1.000.000 chilean pesos... that it's a really big amount of money... and obiously out of my reach.... My naive hope it's that one day the price will drop to a reacheable level... but it's not likely to happen. Greetings from Chile!!

[@scott__lange]

The camera is 1000 USD, which while not exactly cheap, isn't horrible. Is 1000000 pesos actually a whole lot?

[@ivanpedrero1455]

@@scott__lange Hello Mister Scott Lange!! I think it all comes down to a matter of perspective and socio economic context... At the time I'm writing this, the camera's retail price has actually risen. The new price it's 1.049.990 pesos. That's 3.1 minimun wages (Chile's minimun wage = 337.000 pesos). In Chile the minimun wage it's defined by the minimun amount of money required by one family to cover all the expenses of one month. In other words the amount of money needed to buy this camera, it's the same amount of money that can support a family for 3 months!!. I hope this will help to put things in perspective. Best regards from Chile.
