Nikon P1000 vs Sony RX10 IV - Battle of the Superzooms

@黃先伯 i agree, RX10M4 @600mm is about the same as P1000 @1000mm. I think the RX10M4 is close in capturing the same amount of details @600mm vs P1000 @2000mm, but lacks the amount of pixels to crop that far in.

Which one would you pick if you only could have one stills camera suited for difficult light? Jungle and nature photography.

[@robertday4151]

@@ElectromaticG5120 I would definitely pick the Sony RX10 IV. In my opinion the most convenient camera. But for low light I would choose a APS-C or Full Frame camera. Perhaps the Sony a7 III.

@@henryforo3566 That is complete bullshit. I’m a working Pro and use FF for my daily work. I use 1“ cameras for all my travel stuff and also for work, after I saw how good the quality really is. I tested the RX10IV some days ago and this camera has such a good lens, you wouldn’t belive it is even possible to build something like this. It’s sharp from wide to tele, it has a good micro contrast and a surprisingly good bokeh. The ISO performance is far better than most people would think. At base ISO these files are better than mFT sensors and as we know have AI noisereduction in Lightroom, I don’t have to think about high ISOs. These 1“ sensors deliver. And if you think they’re not good, it’s probably YOU who is the bigger problem. But you’re talking DSLRs and cellphones, so you might live under a rock for the last 20 years.

[@darrelluruski1728]

I own both cameras. They both are great for what they are designed to do. The zoom range on the Nikon wins. But at this present time there is no camera anywhere that is as versatile and capable as the Sony RX10 IV. And there are only a handful of cameras that can match the lightning fast focus of the RX10 IV camera. The Sony camera is amazing, and most people don’t even know that these two cameras are using a leaf shutter. With respect to speedlights, the leaf shutter destroys all interchangeable lens cameras that use focal plane shutters because the flash can be synced to any shutter speed the photographer needs without flash sync restrictions.

[@WACONimages]

Can you use one of the lens adjustable rings to zoom the lens as well? Or only the zoom knob? I have several camera gear. But still own an older Fuji X-S1 24-624mm. That lens has full manual zoom and works so fine. Although the camera is outdated in many aspects nowadays. But still a great camera to have always in your car orzo. The RX10IV is tempting for shooting sailing yachts competition when on a RIB. No need to chance lenses and shooting is during daylight most of the time.

The low light superiority of the Sony is huge better than the Nikon, but for over all super zoom to capture close up detailed far away images I believe the Nikon wins hands down!! If your going for all around average good camera that does everything well and need better image stabilization and super fast auto focus and clean night shots and clean day shots then it's hands down the Sony RX10 IV, the Nikon for it's price cheaper than Sony and being a bridge camera for now does the best job for getting clean shots of wildlife being well lighted that is!! Photographers getting good shots having a tripod is advisable P1000, it's auto focus struggles P1000, so have to have a tripod for better shots! The only other cameras for super close wildlife action shots far away super super clean are going to be DSLR's like a Nikon D500 and thats getting into $2000 and $3000 dollar price range!!!

It all depends on your needs and priorities. I love the squirrel shot, and if that was on the Nikon, I would be MORE than happy :). I have moved on from my previous 25x zoom camera, and the 65x zoom of the latest one often comes into it's own when birding. So yes, I am envious of the 125x zoom of the Nikon for my needs, as I am sometimes quite flat out on 65x to see the detail I need for a shot. Don't forget the weight of the Nikon though, no good if you would rather leave your heavy camera in the car than carry it everywhere.

It is great that you zoomed the Nikon P1000 up to 3000mm (125x), but you should also have zoomed the camera to its equivalent of the Sony so that we can see how both cameras perform at their equivalent zoom settings in terms of image quality and image stabilization. Take, for example, the Windmill blades, was it necessary to have only zoomed up to the tip or base of the blade with the Nikon? Why not back up the zoom a little bit so as to see how the Nikon compared with the Sony. The further out you go or the greater you zoom in on an object while hand holding the camera, the more movement you will get.

[@jefo2405]

If people only look at the zoom capabilities of both cameras and then spout "Nikon wins", we can clearly see the pro club has gathered again. Looking at the details they'll find that the Nikon is a glorified telescope. The Sony has a superior 20MP - 1" BSI-CMOS Sensor, better low light capabilities, can shoot 24 fps (compared to Nikons 7 fps, Canon EOS-1D X Mark II DSLR has 16! Nikon D5 DSLR has 12!), can record 960 fps high speed video, has a weather sealed body, almost twice the battery life, AND on top of that, has one of the worlds fastest auto-focussing systems even compared to DSLRs. I do BIF at 600mm all day long with the Sony and the amount of out of focus shots is rediculously low. So anybody mindlessly spouting that the Nikon is the better camera is clearly missing the point and is uninformed. Maybe it's the better camera for what that individual intends to use it for, granted (plane spotting anybody?), but it's way inferior in total. Alround wildlife and travel cam vs daylight telescope. Not a tough choice really.

[@Innocence44]

by "better" you mean bigger. all small sensor cameras, like the one you find in the p1000, will struggle in low light situations. the biggest selling point of the Nikon is the amount of range you get in a comparatively portable and inexpensive package (when compared to a dlsr w/ a bulky telephoto lens or the Sony which costs twice as much). so if you shoot mostly during daytime and looking for a relatively portable camera with unbeatable zoom, then P1000 is pretty much the only option today that will meet that requirement. for low light you'd want a true dslr (crop) with a decent lens or two, it will easily outperform the RX10. its 'range' vs an average 'do it all' cam comparison, really.

[@gremlinsmasher9720]

​@@Innocence44 I used to have p900 which I was planning to use for an annual convention but it doesn't work that good for that situation. In the end I was using Canon SX40 HS which has better capture (still having it) even when I was using the same range of zoom. Yes, during daytime outdoor, wildlife etc.. it is pretty good. While not carry my main camera now I am using the portable zoom from panasonic ZS70. Obviously not a good range like either p900 or SX40HS but the quality is pretty good during the indoor shot at 24mm with the flash. Using it for Dragoncon. Sensor could be the same but the lightness and size is what I like.

My first of super zoom cameras was a Panasonic FZ200 with a 1/2.3 inch sensor and I must say super sharp at 600 mm the only problem was excellent photography AS LONG THERE WAS GOOD LIGHT. Today I have a Sony RX10 III and not to mention I had the RX10 II before and now the RX10 IV ( I can't catch up ) there will be newer model coming out just about every week. Bigger sensor is better

Thank you for the footage. RX10M4 is the best!

I’d def buy the Nikon if they updated it with a better sensor. It has amazing zoom but the image quality is subpar. A bigger sensor would allow for more digital zoom also.

A S - if the Nikon had the 1” sensor in it with that much zoom, it would extend to a metre and you’d need to carry it in a wheelbarrow!

[@wellingtoncrescent2480]

The long zoom is only possible because of the small sensor, with a crop factor of 5.6. That is just physics at work, or I would wish for unicorns. I have a Nikon P900 for fun zoom and a mirrorless Canon for stodgy image quality. I cannot have both.

Thank You. Excellent comparison video. I was thinking of getting the Nikon P 1000 and I wondered if Sony had something to match. It appears the Nikon P1000 is a little bit more powerful. But what do I know…, I’m only considering the zoom.

This was a pretty good comparison video and it confirmed my assumption that the Nikon has an impressive amount of zoom, but the Sony has the better image quality. For a fair test I would have liked to see you zooming in to the same amount when comparing stabilization, rather than zooming in to the most that the Nikon can do, past the range of the Sony

[@johnspathopoulos1432]

For a fair test you should compare stills in all the focal range of the two cameras even if that means that after the 600mm you have to start cropping. I guess that till 600mm because of the bigger sensor Sony wins and from there till 3000mm the P1000 has better image quality. Because of the cropping. That is the big advantage for me of the P1000. It gives you so much freedom! Decent photos in the range that most cameras operates and much better in bigger focal lengths! The only restrictions it has is in dark places and night wildlife photography. But in every other sector it covers you very well.

[@SalisburyPlainAviation]

real world testing should not be done on a tripod. hand held would be better as superzooms are only as useful as their stabilisation. also you should compare stills.

[@stargate1986]

please answer. Which is better Nikon P1000 or Sony RX 10 IV

[@LindemannFilmFotoDrohne]

For me, the Sony is the best allrounder. If you realy need this incredible zoom, the Nikon wins.

👌These videos are nice. Where person don't speak.only shows what we are here for

[@nsmith9291]

Thank you for your video and your time..

[@MrSuperMole]

I have this camera. I hope the neighbors don't have it! I was able to record Mercury transit!

[@misakamikoto8785]

That awkward moment when you and your neighbor both have it and you are zooming in into each other xD

[@picopopicopo7902]

The video is about two different cameras. "I have this camera" is not clear

[@zagorjango2440]
