Nikon P1000 Digital Camera | First Look and Review

[@clifton-cameras]

Hi all, we'd like to apologise for not being able to demonstrate the RAW files. We did mention we would do this in the video. At the time of shooting Adobe Camera Raw did not support the .NRW files produced by the camera and we were unable to process them in Lightroom. This appears to still be the case. We will aim to be aware of this for future releases. Thank you for your support. Please visit our website for all of your photographic needs: www.cliftoncameras.co.uk/

[@mauibuilder1239]

I heard the FBI was ordering 1000 of these.

[@maidenfana]

Hi, for that issue you can use Adobe DNG Converter (software) to create and "standard" RAW file (.dng) and edited later on adobe camera raw. Saludos

[@danielsutorius2602]

Great video, what is the name of that song?

[@LanielPhoto]

Nikon provides its own excellent RAW handler. A bit of a learning curve to an Adobe user, but once mastered is as good as the Adobe stuff.

[@JimOstromSTP2023]

What curvature of the earth? Want to prove curvature of the earth?

Just got this Camera for my 30th birthday. Can't wait to explore with it

[@TheReaperOfTheNorth]

im getting it for my 30th birthday i had to back order it so my birthday just passed lol

[@MrVara411]

This remains the best review of the P1000 that I've seen. As others have said I would have liked to see what's possible with RAW files, but otherwise a fantastic review. Thanks!

[@johnphillips519]

From macro to the moon without changing lenses, Love it👍

[@beebeesfuntasticadventures6110]

This is the best review of the P1000 on KZbin. Good job, thanks for sharing.

[@keithbrown454]

Interesting video. This is one of the most detailed and breakdown of the Nikon P1000 that I have seen online. Very much enjoyed it. Thank you!

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

I wanna say (after reading some critical criticism comments) that I actually liked this format of video. Laid back and just showing us around the camera. Some people probably didn't notice that it's your first time using the camera as well!

[@stevewalsh5479]

Nice review - thanks, mate! Nikon is close to producing the perfect all-in-one camera. They just need three things: 1) Make it full-frame 2) Make it constant aperture f/2.8 or better yet f/1.4. 3) Provide a van to pickup the cash required for that and for us to carry the camera around in. Until then, the P1000 is fine piece of kit.

[@AleksHugs]

If they make it full frame the focal length would be reduced to around 550mm instead of 3000mm. This camera’s insane zoom capabilities come from a brilliant exploitation of the crop factors from a smaller sensor.

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

I was about to comment on just how unrealistic your demands are, but then I realized you're joking because of the third one.

[@Trekeyus]

What if they'll provide a semi truck for the lens?

[@DenaMichele]

Best review I’ve seen on this camera. Mine is arriving tomorrow... can’t wait to see how HUGE it is!

[@winslow137]

Ha ha I took mine out the box yesterday its huge but I love it 😂

[@JerryDavis]

Mine is arriving today ... can't wait!

[@EIanordir]

Also keep in mind i was had p900 , and I overused it for 4 hour non-stop zoom in and out , then the rotor on the camera Overheat . Tried send it to the dealer , but they dont sell parts for it , and even you cannibal the full Lens from other camera, somehow the camera reject it So do mind it dont zoom in and out without giving it rest So yeah my camera still broken , no way to fix it , 2 years usage

[@arhalimi5883]

i am happy for u..

[@TheRicheg]

does it weigh 2kg with lens like my d3x and there's no way to get 3000mm in a small package this seems the smallest travel cam shame i don't have the cash for it n can't risk selling my camera to find out its not what i need. think ill rent one.

[@nadereltahawy795]

My pleasure to your work from Egypt 🇪🇬 . Amazing review

[@ekchuahstudios9066]

Good info, time to upgrade from my 1930 Kodak Brownie box camera.

[@UAPJedi]

Ok as camera reviews go, this is the best I’ve seen on KZbin👍

[@leongiovanni9902]

yes most reviews dont like it or would prefer another camera. for image quality at least

[@juliannwright2291]

Just got mine, love it so far, also have the P900

[@surajitdas8606]

Thanks for the review, I have made up my mind to go ahead with this one! Truly amazing!!

[@raymondcook8364]

I am so glad I watched your video because I will buy it in 2 weeks.

[@clifton-cameras]

Glad we could be of some help Raymond!

[@TexpatOTG]

the P1000 is nuts, my wife bought a 60x zoom Nikon, I thought it was crazy, but actually is pretty useful. I can certainly see why someone would want this. Great Review, enjoyed it much ...very thorough.

[@arhalimi5883]

hi Sir .. tQ for sharing your review. all my years of amateur photography, any camera that i hold, its focal length must wide at least 28mm(35mm cam equivalent) max maybe 120mm is suffice for me. Then one day i stumbled upon KZbin video on lumix TZ70 and i went wild, got myself a preloved TZ80. And now, comes the Nikon P1000!! i didn't even knee P900 existed. Min 8:00 sealed the deal for me, selling some redundant cameras at home and sure am getting one P1000 Sir!! p/s i like too your kind comment on the matter of 'atmospheric' conditions between the P1000 and the subject @3000mm focal length away..

[@kriskris3092]

A great review. I know it will not measure up to my DSLR and a Nikkor 200-500 lens but the reduced weight and the greater reach makes up for it. Trying it tomorrow and hopefully buying it tomorrow. A good addition to my kit.

[@kevincass5410]

Seriously, no doubt, by far the most informative, comprehensive (within time limits), objective review I've seen. Thank you very much! I am dying to get this camera after having the p900. It seems that there are only 3 downfalls which are no touchscreen, weight and battery life. (understanding that it's not a 35mm). I imagine with battery tech improving soon that there will be a replacement battery that rocks. Thanks you very much. Please review the RAW imaging/editing that you mentioned. Thanks again!

[@1948treetop]

As a complete amateur I would love this beast, it seems to cover all the basics and beyond. Alas as an OAP trying to survive on a state pension and at a cost of around £1000. I'll just have to dream on. Great review by the way.

[@SteveCarrett]

I really enjoyed watching your review on this camera as I was considering in buying one thank you.

[@AllenFreemanMediaGuru]

Wait, what about post production? You said you would work on the shots. Did you? What did you think? Why didn’t we get to see more shots?

[@clifton-cameras]

Hi Allen, we are conscious of this, unfortunately, our Lightroom subscription lapsed right after this video was made and we never got around to it. If you're interested you can email me at [e-mail] and I'll send you a couple files once I've managed to play with them some more. This may be a couple weeks out though given Photokina is next week, we have found ourselves very busy. I apologise for not following through in the video. I think it's fair to say that I'm not expecting big things due to the small sensor size in conjunction with the outrageous equivalent focal lengths. For the hobbyist, however, the added flexibility that RAW provides should be a welcome addition regardless of the degree to which it works as it wasn't present on the P900. In that respect, this is an improvment on the previous iteration. Thank you for your input!

[@MegaElectriceel]

LR doesn't recognize NRW raw format. Nikon's NX-D will read the file and you can than pass it to your favorite PP platform in tiff. Nikon does have an available codec for download which will allow Win10 to recognize the nrw format. Even so a program like ON1 will display a colorcast image and have terrible distortion. (they are aware of problem however P1000 is not a "Tier 1" camera so it might be awhile for its support.) I suspet that might be true for adobe support as well.

[@kamil2is]

thank you for a great review

[@susiegoulden4528]

I get mine very soon, can’t wait..thanks for the video as it shows me so much about the camera and it’s functions. So very excited to start using it now!

[@klackon1]

Cracking review: made even better by the fact that I know Cheltenham well. Thanks a lot. My one observation is that it's only a full frame equivalent of a 24 - 3000mm lens. I have been considering purchasing a P1000 for the days when I don't want to take out my A7III/A7II. Though bulky, it appears extremely versatile.

[@simplyrise5217]

As long as you accept its limitations & stop unrealistic comparison, its amazing

[@megamediker]

I saw a few vids on the P 1000, this was the most practical one, grants and thank you!

[@longkirirongpi7941]

NIKON is my favourite camera and my favourite name

[@ejdalise]

You mentioned the RAW editing you were planning to evaluate. That's one thing I'm curious about and have not seen addressed in other reviews. The small sensor would seem to make RAw a feature of limited benefit and use. Thanks.

[@TheRicheg]

raw just means an unprocessed sensor data save possibly at 16bit depth? and in adobe red green blue so yeah still better than jpeg if editing

[@ejdalise]

TheRicheg Hmm . . . yes and no. I just downloaded some P1000 RAW files from one of the sites that reviewed the P1000 (you can download both the JPG and the RAW file but you need Nikon's software to read the RAW file because PS and LR can't yet read the new format). As far as I can tell, there's not much (if any) advantage to the RAW file versus the JPG which is one of the problems with small sensors. That said, the sample size is small and that's why I'd be interested in hearing from someone who shoots RAW all the time. From what little I've seen, I'm not sure I'd shoot RAW with this camera. Then again, RAW comes into play more during difficult shooting situations. I'll probably rent the P1000 before deciding if I should buy it. That's because of the size change and extra price. I own a P900 and I'd preferred they'd given us an actual upgrade instead of a new camera with more unknowns. Also, few people tell you the settings when they shoot and those can vary significantly depending on personal preferences.

[@Texasslim57]

I'm very pleased with the video quality. Stills not quite as sharp as needed at distance. Great for macro, nice and sharp. And yes, good for long range street photos but not super sharp, a tripod always helps

[@mewe7777]

Great review. Hopefully getting mine today

[@yizhakshachar]

best P1000 review I have seen so far, I gave you a "LIKE". but there are few Issues I wanted to mention 1. When you zoom in video mode, you should mention vocally how much zoom you are doing so we know what you are doing 2. when you video yourself at 13:30 you had big shadow on yourself which made your face dark, you should check position of sun when you shoot or use back light compensation +1 3. Please bear in mind that there are two kind of digital zoom. The dynamic fine zoom in still mode does not effect the quality of the picture but only reduces size of picture lit. 2x (6,000mm) dynamic fine zoom would reduce 16MP picture into 4MP picture because it crops out 75% of picture to get a virtual zoom. The regular digital zoom would leave 16MP picture the same but quality would go down since pixels are getting bigger. 4. since it's a travelers camera, it bothers me that it does not have GPS feature. I wonder if the Nikon GP-N100 GPS receiver would work on the Nikon P1000 hot shoe.

[@geoffrio7540]

Great review, it seems to be ideal for bird witching and recording on my local patch which is the Wash. Think I might buy one.

[@emaxrarnob007]

Nice... one day i will buy it...

Best review ive seen so far on the P1000. I have the P900 and have been so happy with the camera.Thinking about upgrading to the P1000, maybe wait a little :)

Great video. ❤❤❤ I bought the Nikon P950 camera and it works great for me. It was only $700.

[@shashikumar4208]

I was worried weather to buy p1000 or look for something else. But finally going for it because u showed that it takes good photos. 👍👍👍👍

[@kingofrannoch]

Use a slower shutter speed to make up for low iso. The longer amount of time the shutter is open you wont have to deal with monster noise

[@VRFATT]

It's great for plane spotting

[@charlesmvella5223]

Good review. I have a lot of plans for this camera and only want it for astronomical use, can't wait to connect it to my Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer.

[@flashy158]

Thank you for doing this review, i will have mine in a few hours from now, I am booked to go on a Whale watching trip this weekend and so tempted to take this camera with me, a little bit worried about the sea water element so if you think i should not take it then tell me today.I had the P900 and had so much fun with it, this new beast certainly goes to another level. Weather permitting i will be taking shots of some Peregrine falcons around teatime, the P900 performed very well with this so i am excited to get even better pictures and footage of my little friends on York Minster. Once again Thanks for a great review.

[@clifton-cameras]

Hi Andy, this camera has a fluorine coating on the lens to repel moisture and protect the exposed glass element from dust. If I was you I would take the camera without hesitation, what is an adventure camera for if not being taken on adventures? Just be careful in your use of it. The body isn't the most robust I have seen, nor is it weather sealed. A good option to protect the front lens element is to use a protective filter; this could be either a UV, clear or polarizer. This will protect it from moisture, dirt and even slight impacts. It's always a good idea to have a filter handy for challenging environments and you'll be pleasantly surprised what a good polarizer can do when shooting water on a bright day. It will minimize reflections and even help you penetrate the surface to some degree.

[@flashy158]

Just got my hands on it in the last ten minutes, its definitely coming with me, thanks for your advice.

[@clifton-cameras]

Great video, thanks. Just seeing now three yrs later as I am considering this or possibly the 950 (don't know if the extra 1000mm is needed/worth it. I wanted to mention this I the first time in watching quite a few videos that I heard the IS does NOT work in 4K video mode. Just don't understand that, could be a deal-breaker. That's exactly WHEN I would want stabilization, especially in 4K. I wonder if the 950 is stabilized in 4K?

may I ask what do you take your youtube vids with?

[@AATANK1804]

A mirrorless camera with all that focal length that a human need. Its good for a normal photography who shoots for passion but not for money.

[@ayoubbiker3165]

Omg really 😮

[@terrybrooks395]

Question, have they removed the EV limitation ?, on the old P900 you could set 30 seconds at ISO-100, if the ISO was changed to ISO-200 for example then the max shutter speed you could set would be 15 seconds and so on, this crippled it for any decent night sky shots. can the P1000 be set to ISO-3200, and 30 sec (or even bulb) when in manual mode ?

[@MovieVertigo]

No, unfortunately not. Similar restrictions. Bulb only seems available in ISO 100

[@MovieVertigo]

+Another Faze He's talking about the fact that as you increase the ISO, the camera firmware artificially limits the maximum exposure time in manual mode. This severely reduces its ability to capture deep-sky objects and star-trail time-lapses capture far fewer stars.

[@terrybrooks395]

@Another Faze. Great, see if you can get some meteor pics or maybe a pic of the Andromeda Galaxy DUH ! I do know what I'm doing when it comes to night sky photography, Hell, I can even spell the word "night" :)
