Your advice on things to think about before buying is excellent.

[@EricGibaud]

Thank you!!!

[@griffith500tvr]

I like the way you do your videos, this is my first with you.....

[@griffith500tvr]

What kind of mount head is this? Looks like it drives electrically, left to right, if so, can you name the product?

[@GerritKleynWinkel]

Nice review, thank you! Around 21:00 you say you need a 2nd camera for "normal" pictures... I assume you say that because many other cameras make better pictures at normal zoom levels, but be aware that people who buy this camera are for sure not professional photographers (more like amateures or holiday photographers that like zoom) and already have accepted the quality that comes with the relatively small sensor in this camera and probably will be happy with the "normal" pictures as well. about the price... These days there are (i)phones wich cost more then 1000 euro and people use them for 1 or 2 years and buy a new one. A camera normally lasts longer then that, so in my opinion its not that expensive for the fun you get.

[@EricGibaud]

Hi, I mean by a second camera that it does not fit in your pocket.... so or use a compact camera or a mobile phone, but this is not a camera you carry anywhere anytime. Well yes, compared to a phone, it is not expensive, and anyway nothing gives up to 3000mm for this price, I mean that unless you do need such a zoom, there are many other options.

[@GerritKleynWinkel]

@@EricGibaud thanks Eric, you're right for sure. But who needs a car that goes from 0-100kmh in 3 seconds... But still people buy it for €100.000 while you can get a good #ev for much less. It's how the world works at the moment.

[@EricGibaud]

that's right LOL

[@vladimirsvetlov1243]

Thank you for a thoughtful and benchmarked review. It is not perfect but a pretty workable superzoom camera. I managed to get quite decent shots at short zooms with it too, so technically it could be a kinda all-around camera, but it's rather heavy to lug around when you are not shooting long distance. I keep a Lumix fz300 for most shots, much more maneuverable and less tiring at half the weight.

[@EricGibaud]

Thank you Vladimir for sharing your experience.

[@carloscosta253]

I have a p1000 and love it. The tips were great too, although, as a left handed fellow, I often have to use work around solutions to keep it steady... Take care, Greetings from Portugal.

[@antonymosses.]

Hhow do you consider this camera for potrait photography can we get good background blur

[@EricGibaud]

Well I would no get this kind of camera if your idea is only doing portraits

[@markjob6354]

Excellent review Eric ! Suggestion: In order *to avoid camera shake* at extreme telephoto, why not simply *use the special Remote Nikon makes for the Coolpix P1000* and make sure the *camera is mounted securely to a heavy duty tripod ?*

[@EricGibaud]

Thank you, yes you are right! Cheers

[@hedegaard8]

Yeah, I bought the camera and the remote from Nikon specifically for this task

[@stevematthewsteethofthelam1367]

Thanks I have the P1000 and I’m having it converted to full spectrum Infrared, which will increase distance and cut haze. And it will be a lot of fun for artistic shoots.

[@EricGibaud]

Ohhh really interesting indeed.

[@stevematthewsteethofthelam1367]

Eric Gibaud I will be posting my results on my teethofthelamb channel the camera is not back from the shop as of yet but should be soon. Another purpose is that I’m thinking IR may give me better contrast of the moon in daylight. I laughed when you mentioned “not much to see on the moon” to date I have discovered some very interesting and very unusual movements that don’t fit the official narrative by any stretch of the imagination, but thats another topic. JTolan has some interesting long range IR and his work is where I got the idea from, there’s a lighthouse 35 miles down the coast of Oregon where I live, I can see it but it’s really poor quality, IR will remove the atmospheric haze and produce a presentable image. The p1000 makes a good choice for full spectrum, because of the 4K and RAW capabilities which are a must for IR post editing. Thanks again for your interesting well spoken assessment of the Nikon P1000

[@EricGibaud]

yes please, I look forward to it.

[@megapix-x51]

Thanks for a great review. I have watched many on the p1000 as I’m definitely thinking of purchasing one. I Think this is the first review I have seen where the zoom is is shown (on the tripod) with the stabilization both on and off. Very helpful. Generally, we are always advised to turn stabilization off when a camera is on a tripod. In your demonstration, it appears the there is actually less shake at 3000mm with the stabilization on. Would you agree?

[@EricGibaud]

Hello. Thank you. Yes stabs does help but I reviewed a long time ago so I cannot remember exactly each situation. Regards

[@younislovely786]

After 2 years how is your experience about p1000 And what is your gentle opinion about this camera?

[@EricGibaud]

Hello. As explained, I review cameras, I do not own them, except my Olympus and some analogue cameras, so as all other cameras this one was returned to the shop that lends them to me. Regards

[@seandoc8463]

What is the difference in optical zoom vs. Digital zoom please? I'm a complete novice and have just bought a Lumix DC-TZ90 and I am going to buy the p1000 also

[@EricGibaud]

Optical zoom is a physical action made by the lens optics, digital is just made by the electronic cropping the image to make it look closer

[@seandoc8463]

@@EricGibaudAh I see! Thanks for explaining & thank you for the video! Best one I've seen so far, really enjoyed it

[@EricGibaud]

Thank you very much for your kind words.

[@eddiek0507]

Good video, I hope to get this camera in July 2020. Hopefully it will be a little cheaper by then!

[@EricGibaud]

Thank you, let's cross finger.

[@vimalneha]

it looks like pictures are a bit underexposed always. Can it be compensated while recording or taking photographs.

[@EricGibaud]

I did not notice too much, it is more likely for the exposure mode I selected. Yes you compensate

[@vimalneha]

@@EricGibaud Many thanks for taking time to reply

[@IRFAN-po5sz]

Nice review Sir, Which cam and lens you used to shoot this video.?

[@EricGibaud]

Thank you. I think it was the Olympus OMD e-m5 mk2 with 12-40mm 2.8

[@IRFAN-po5sz]

@@EricGibaud Thank you so much

[@sabahal-janabi9979]

Hi Eric ; on which mood in the camera Nikon P1000 the external flash can work . Regards

[@EricGibaud]

I have not got the camera with me, but I understand M, S and A

[@EZETechnRC]

Fantastic review! I've had my P1000 for about 5 months not and love it!

[@EricGibaud]

Thank you for your comment!

[@keithlhiker]

Thanks for going to the trouble of doing an english version. Very helpful. How would you rate the overall sharpness of the lens compared to the other super zooms you have tested? Thanks

[@EricGibaud]

You are welcome. I find it sharper than many

[@rocknrollmagick]

thanks for your great review of the Nikon Coolpix P1000

[@EricGibaud]

Thank you for your feed back

[@MALBACHinc]

I like your review sir, my heart keen to P1000, is it still valid to buy in 2021? RX10 is too expensive, P950 got lesser range but still good too, Canon SX70 is another option

[@EricGibaud]

Hello. P1000 and p950 are the best relation cost/features I think

[@MALBACHinc]

@@EricGibaud thank you fornthe reply. Think of selling rx100vii for longrr range

[@zebasd]

Oh no I tried it for wildlife photo the 16mp is no good at all. No matter what you say it worthless when zooming in details when you work with the photos on computer or tablet

[@lindapruitt2656]

Gee what camera did you use to film the video. Very sharp!

[@EricGibaud]

With an Olympus omd e-m5 mk2

[@Wonkabar007]

Good review very helpful

[@EricGibaud]

thank you very much for passing by my Channel and commenting.

[@vimalneha]

very good realistic review, really liked it.

[@EricGibaud]

thank you very much

[@marcuswebb]

Hello, thanks for your Tutorial, what kind of SD CARD you suggest for this cam for great Pics but also very fluid Videos? Gb? SPEED?

[@EricGibaud]

thank you. I would use Sandisk Ultra 90Mps/s

[@marcuswebb]

@@EricGibaud how much maximum gb sd card can support camera?

[@EricGibaud]

I am not sure about that but I would never use over 64gb because if you have a card failure or you lose it, then you may lose all your footage and pictures, I prefer more cards than just one.

[@kazakizo]

i am Getting my P1000 Tom quite excited tho

[@EricGibaud]

Enjoy it!

[@kevinhodges1862]

Great review. Thanks.

[@EricGibaud]

thank you for visiting and commenting !

[@andrewbrooks2001]

Thank you for sharing

[@EricGibaud]

Thank you very much Andrew for your comment.

[@marymoo9693]

That is incredible I have p950

[@EricGibaud]

I have not tried the 950 yet. Thank you for your comment

[@robertstromberg1730]

Great review!

[@EricGibaud]

Thank you very much

[@-wickie-2575]

Shame they put such a small sensor in it tho....hopefully the next one will come with a full 1 inch sensor....at nearly a grand this isnt a good camera.....

[@EricGibaud]

Shame no, a larger sensor would need a larger lens and this one is already huge.

[@facedown9754]

Eric Gibaud also a larger sensor u loose zoom range

[@tedtedsen269]

Apart from a terrible iso performance, it's a good camera

[@EricGibaud]

Well, bridge cameras are not high Iso champions, this is sure!

[@dudleyhollister1556]

This is the camera, ahaaaaaaaaa, this optical. ahaaaaaaaaaaa this is the flash. Ahaaaaaaaaaaa

[@facedown9754]

Remember this Camera does what it does for the price...If you want pro level picture quality camera and a big lens your in for huge costs..everything is determined by your wallet

[@EricGibaud]

This is exactly what I say, to get better results you need to play in another financial league. Thanks for comment

[@STRUMMERBOY1975]

This is a great review..... Ah... i have the P900... and now i am affraid to watch your P900 review !! haha !!...but i will try...;)

[@EricGibaud]

Thank you. LOL don’t be afraid

[@facedown9754]

The P900 is still a good Camera..
