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

[@CyberEditing]

Finally a very nicely produced review with professional fluid head stabilization.😎

[@LanielPhoto]

@Jamie Gardella - Most intelligent thing you probably ever said.

[@masonnancy]

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.

[@brandierogers6561]

I'd love to see those pics!

[@dhanang]

Now I can finish my photoshoot job without going to the client location.

[@calebjlayne]

🤣🤣🤣

[@waterbeyza3769]

Lol bro😂

[@ssaannddrro]

A great review. Tells me everything I need to know.

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed

[@coniferousforests8030]

is there time limit while recording? Ive heard ti is 30 minutes (then it stops itself) due to some regulations in Europe. Are they all like that or we can find without this time frame.

[@belleaerials3047]

Every review of this thing is done in bright sunny daylight. None of these reviews really challenge the capabilities of this camera.

[@bend.8888]

Plus I've never seen a review of a bird flying by. Since this camera cannot focus that fast.

[@mohagungramadhan4441]

This camera can take saturnus picture

[@StarfireRebirthCM]

Its only for zoom gimmicks, its not a good camera..

[@kingofrannoch]

The camera is horrible in low light

[@jefo2405]

But the zoom range is so big that you can zoom until you reach sunlight again :P

[@Maxx61]

I told my wife I'm justifying the cost by saving on movie rentals after watching the in flight movies from the airplanes passing over us.

[@CategoricalImperative]

you must have amazing hearing.

[@TORINO365]

Thank you

[@rexultproductions2555]

Store in my place is 1km. So I used this camera, is the store are opened? By zooming...

[@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?

[@seanokeefe703]

How far away could you read a license plate and what length for facial recognition ? A built in image intensifier is cool.

[@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?

[@eamonglavin2532]

I've got a Nikon b700 with a 60* zoom and it's more than enough zoom and is great for surf photography and birdwatching

[@TVRDAFT]

Me too Eamon. Even that 1440mm is a handful at times 🤯 😬 😰 😱 so who needs 3000mm at f8 ???? Nah.

[@keithlhiker]

Such a well presented review. Thanks.

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Thanks Keith, I'm glad you enjoyed

[@TheOrangep7]

Would it zoom in and take good photos of passenger planes in flight high up.

[@Doeff8]

Excellent review, which really shows the functions and good examples of the zoom.

[@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.

[@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

[@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?

[@AyoolaBoyejo]

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

[@jimmyqballs]

If you zoom in on someone else zooming in on you, you must fight to the death

[@elrahmanelteritorial9461]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@muhammad_mohsen]

LOL

[@PatrickSierak]

lol!

[@Yatukih_001]

I don´t have to. Just put your hand slightly above the shutter to let people who do not want to be videotaped know you are ok with it.

[@cnnw3929]

Like two kitty cats in a staring match! LOL

[@richardgoold3306]

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

[@The0007laika]

Thanks for a great presentation !

[@BradfordGuy]

Nothing like photography through a small telescope! Holy smokes, that is impressive! License plates are blurred out or you could read them too, along with the trolly number @ 2:15

[@echoesroll]

QUESTION ; can you have live field while connected on tv in video mode ? ( can you see on real time on tv ( connected by HD cable ) while in video mode ?

[@livelongandprosper70]

yes.

[@seandoc8463]

Great video & review. Thanks. Going to purchase this

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Thanks Sean, I'm glad the video was helpful

[@Chris_WG]

Great review - I will get one soon I hope! Cheers buddy. I subbed ! \o/

[@-MikeyK-]

Hey you're in my hometown Melbourne Australia. Nice review :)

[@photozen8398]

How would it compare to Nikkor 400 mm lens?

[@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!

[@cuttheknot4781]

Great review/summary/PSA

[@TradingMitra]

Plz share ur camera detail in this video shot

[@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.

[@CrispinFreemont]

Very good review. Thank you.

[@littleumbrella1763]

I'm so proud. This is Melbourne Australia where I live almost all my life. I recognise every location.

[@TinthiaClemant]

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

[@paganphil100]

What is the widest aperture available at full (optical) zoom?

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Hi Philip. At full zoom the max aperture is f/8. It is a max aperture of f/2.8 when fully zoomed out

[@gkl2196]

Which nikon p1000 battery charger would you like to take?

[@sergioortegaperez673]

Una consulta,se puede aprender fotografía con esa cámara o tiene q.ser más básica?

[@matthewsenavitis4731]

[@NsndoBrasil]

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

[@nigelriza4814]

Nice review. Thanks.

[@Noisette1011]

Excellent review 👏🏻

[@GasMeltdown]

they add suppressors to cameras now?

[@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?

[@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.

[@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

[@matthewsenavitis4731]

I love this camera 😎

[@marysheen4096]

Any external audio input?

[@manojmahata3735]

How much prices of this camera?

[@qwertyqart]

does it have a built in timelapse?

[@Ash-ft5su]

Very nice video! Thank you.

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed

[@sriganesh8870]

image quality in 3000mm zoom is 4k or not

[@ganeshkhanpeth4739]

What's the use of this camera only zoom

[@yogibear6271]

what's the battery life ? Run time.would use this for wildlife need good battery life and very good low light performance. would it be good for me or bad for me ?

[@CyberEditing]

Battery life is reported to be poor. You will need loads of extra batteries......but that's OK if it allows you to capture the shot.

[@GitarthaKaushik]

Is it possible to get it now?

[@julioc.sanchez3854]

Just Wondering Dose This Camera Have Inferred ?

[@RogerWittekind]

So does it have Stereo Microphones? TNX

[@kenhgiaovien.]

Very Good

[@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.

[@harshithappu2135]

Wht is mega pixel.the clarity of photo will be same or not when zooom

[@dr.sohelrana494]

16.7 MP only

[@marvinjesusful]

Does the zoom not work without a memory card

[@zubairahmadmir1507]

what mb is a photo of nickon p1000

[@gatsbyofhouston]

Hope to find the curvature with this.

[@RabbitholeIsrael]

maybe you can spot the dome over us

[@LarryMartin1956]

Would this be good for star shooting in remote areas where you can really see the sky?

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Hi Larry. I wouldn't consider this a great option for that purpose. For star shooting you typically actually want a wide lens, not a super telephoto one, because you want to capture some of the landscape for context as well as a large swath of the sky. Also the sensor on this camera is pretty small, which is not great for capturing low light subjects like stars. You'll probably want a larger sensor camera with a wide angle to capture that better.

[@noornabila3458]

Love this camera

[@v_6066]

Excellent video!

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed

[@BARAKABLESSING]

Buying it this summer

[@amolkeer]

Does it shoot slowmotion ?

[@berndmayer3984]

sind die Brennweiten echt oder sind die auf Kleinbildformat umgerechnet ???

[@vijayvsurve3893]

What is the difference between p900 digital and p900 point and shoot.

[@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

[@DSTEPPA]

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

[@cadukisara6227]

Máquina maravilhosa

[@paulpillier2959]

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.

[@gvolpe100]

Straordinariamente bello! Nikon Colpix P1000

[@hdkloh6857]

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

[@elhavenopuormatro8027]

Im craving for this camera.

[@simonjones8579]

So if he could only zoom that far are the videos zooming in on the moon fake?

[@wonderbirdbd7307]

Price please this camera nikon p1000??

[@WobblyLawbaby]

How much ? Thankyou

[@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 ???

[@ChileThailandtravel]

Thanks for sharing and I have subscribed.

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Thank you for the sub! Take care

[@Abidar786]

How mach camera

[@LeNerdOfficial]

Now I can zoom to the mooooooooooooooon, literally :)

Good evening boss I Ned this camera How much

[@mhsvz6735]

Thank you.

[@danseabreeze1404]

So do you prefer the Nike-on or Nick-on pronunciation? I wonder if the same can be done with Can-on or Can-in? : l

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Personally I'm originally Canadian and we say Nye-con there. But here in Australia it's pronounced Nick-on, and I've grown to like that more (I also think it's closer to the correct Japanese pronunciation).

[@simonjones8579]

I like niekon. I also have always preferred 12hundred vs 1thousandtwohundred

[@freddimble7024]

Can you verify is it 3000 mm like on the Camera 24 / 3000 mm or 30,000 mm like you say? i'm not a troll just asking a simple question in case i have got it wrong.

[@digiDirectAustralia]

Hi Fred. It is 3000mm. I do say 3000mm, not 30 000, but I do also talk quite fast ;)

[@CameraGear]

Great zoom, with 4k

[@bend.8888]

Great zoom that takes dreadful photos.

[@johntheux9238]

Not 4k, it's only a 1MP (720p) due to diffraction

[@imodium438]

​@@bend.8888 not saying that didnt happen to you, but their are plenty of wonderful ball earth debunking videos showing the footage of this camera.. and they look spot on, maybe it's because they're videos? Anyway.. good enough flat earth camera.

[@tasswarhasnain434]

Great zoom 4k

[@lukemaney645]

You answered all my questions ...thanks😂

[@kidotatsuhiko5885]

nice job man

[@visaidhananjay]

At night what will be the condition, how much this camera can open it's aperture for this much zoom?😳😳😳😳😳😳

[@preamv9492]

How this price

[@rachanaphotographyvideogra171]

How many price it

[@luckyphotography333]

Very nice

[@critterkritchard]

hi! 16 year old planespotter here, i’ve been trying to find a camera that would be good for taking pictures of planes that are flying by at around 30,000 ft high, but i’m really really really uneducated on cameras so it’s been really hard for me to find a cheap, good camera. any help at all is more than appreciated, even if it’s just a little nudge in a certain direction, or giving me tips on what to look for, i’m extraordinarily thankful

[@farhadtarapore]

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

[@dioniciob313]

I never noticed this was an Australian company until the end of the video... my mind is blown.

[@felix_quintana]

If it is Australian then why the video isn't upside down?
