I got a sony DSC-HX300 with 1200mm zoom. It is a bridge camera, with a tiny sensor, and a bit older. The video is only 1080p and not as sharp. I've had lots of fun with that one, and it brought me back to thinking about getting the P1000, this style of camera really fits me well for what I do. Even night photography does well with a steady enough tripod. I would love to have the 4k video and the nicer viewfinder from the P1000, plus the higher zoom?? I would be using that thing 24/7 At the end of the day I find my joy of photographing in the challenge of figuring out how to get what you want with what you have. I have a full gallery of photos I took with my P30 Pro phone which has a 125mm optical zoom, and it did well for a while. This sony camera I'm currently using has served me well in taking shots of nice cars on the highway, handheld tracking the cars at 1/160 getting a nice blur on everything else around the subject. I'm no pro photographer but I'm always having fun with any camera. I'm so glad you made this video, with actual real life experience using these cameras and better ones. Everywhere I go to read about this p1000 camera everyone immediately shuts down the discussion due to the small sensor and dont even bother to look into what it is actually good at, your video is a rare gem!

The silly zoom capability is amazing for just birdwatching too. I just haul this camera and a fluid head tripod around and get pretty much everything done with it. It's not the same as a full spotting scope but in a pinch it absolutely works fine for the purpose. If I went to an obs tower with a camera from which I'd have to crop out every image to see close details I'd also need a spotting scope which pretty much doubles the gear I'd have to carry. Another major win for a budget conscious birder who wants to see birds up close in real time!

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I'm not sure I can answer that since I don't take photos through the scopes so it's just down to eye feel and it's really hard to quantify. Both certainly work for the purpose but the P1000 takes the cake for ease of use, big screen and no need to hunch over the scope. I do prefer the analogue feel of not having computers or screens in between so I feel like I like the image of a scope better, but I have a hunch that's just my bias talking, not actual image clarity.

I make out it is a film camera and only use ISO 100, 200, and 400 on this camera, to try and wring the best performance out of it. I also bought a Hoya UV &IR cut filter to make sure only the “good” light gets into the sensor. I have taken great family portraits with this camera, scenes and also got a picture of Pluto with it.

There are more and more better options out there, some even for very cheap (monocular and phone or any small sensor) to somewhat acceptable price (aps-c/mft camera and a long tele) ranging anywhere between 1000-3000$ camera+lens or more expensive „pro level“ like 600 F4 + 2x TC At least i could not go lower and slower than with my Canon RF 800 F11 to be honest, 1280mm native on 32MP APS-C, 2000mm in 4k60 crop and 2400mm with digital stabiliser, if i am more stationary or can care less about the weight i even take the 150-600 6.3 zoom (240-960mm) The thing is… even between 800 f11 and 600 F6.3 or even stopped down to F7.1 or F8, the difference is noticable regarding to the aperture and so the subject separation from foreground and background. The P1000 has an effective look of 24mm F16 to 3000mm F45. Absolutely no room for nice bokeh except in macro usage with longer focal length where the P1000 can be actually very good and uncomparable to most cameras

I've had the P950 since December of last year and haven't used my Panasonic FZ300 since then. I feel sorry for my other camera. The only thing I envy with the gear head guys is getting those bird in flight shots so tack sharp. Otherwise I've gotten some outstanding photos from the P950. I shoot in RAW and the buffer does fill up quickly. Lately I've just been shooting in single mode and it helps that problem but makes it more possible to miss a better shot if the subject is moving. For what it's worth I also picked up an A1000. It hasn't been great for bird photos so far but I find it to be an excellent take along camera for supplemental shots like landscapes and reference shots, the quality is great. I'd love to see you do a video on just that camera and what you could get out of it in relation to wildlife photos, especially birds. Good information that is still relevant.

I am thankful i didnt buy the P1000 many years ago, in the end it was too expensive for me and the fixed lens was also partially an issue coming from a DSLR and having a few Canon full frame lenses. It took me many more years to get hands on good reach for wildlife, but i got it with the Canon RF 800 F11 for a pretty good price and also lightweight/small. I really appreciate the modern, very nice stabilizer, the really good autofocus (for its price) and its optical performance in general. Added later a Sigma 150-600C for video (on tripod) and regular birding/wildlife which can even perform better than the RF 800 (but only on a tripod, Sigmas stabilizer is VERY BAD) This type of camera (P900, P1000,...) just isnt right for me. I prefer to really go lightweight in some cases with primes or small universal zooms as well, i dont need, i would not even want always a 3000mm zoom lens on the camera in general (because its long and heavy) My most preffered setup yet (sadly sold...) was the EOS RP + RF 50 1.8. The RF 50 barely came off this camera except i did wildlife or astro or needed something else than 50mm only. Amazing performance, full frame, yet super small and light. For wildlife i had the RF 800 F11, for other stuff i adapted my old EF glass. The EOS RP did so well in anything (Astrophotography with primes or automated on the telescope, for family and travel stuff, for "serious" photography, partially even for wildlife, also usable in 1080p video) but for wildlife and (slowmo) video i was "downgrading" to the APS-C EOS R7.

When I know there is a shot there I will burst 7 FPS, it blackouts for a bit then another 7fps then another. So timing is the key. It is the worse part of this camera system for sure. I work around it. It feels better than the p900 but not by much. Hope this helps.

I am not a professional but if I didn't already have a Z80 and a Nikon A900 (which I bought after watching one of your videos a while back), I would get one. Another option I went with to get into bird/wildlife just for fun was using the Tamron 18-400 superzoom lens, there are both Canon and Nikon versions. I think I only paid $350 used and I paired it with a used Nikon D7100 which together was less than $800 total and really convenient to carry around. I love the content you put out and watch every episode, I'd be interested in what you thought of using something like the Tamron 18-400 lens compared to the P1000/P950. Thanks for all the great work!
@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Жыл бұрын
Actually, the 18-400 is a great lens. A total keeper. I did have a video planed on that lens. Probably try to make or remake the video. Again top notich as long as you get a sharp version. Most are sharp, i had one that was not. Hope this helps, but in comparison the 18-400 is on another level of image quality paired with an R10 or r7....

I've been using Sony bridge cameras for many years, and have taken some really nice pictures with them. My Sony HX400V just crapped out (lens stabilizer ribbon wires broke) after years of great fun. Now I want to replace it, and I'm finding out that most similar bridge cameras are either way too heavy (Nikon vs my Sony), or the technology (especially the sensor) is old. At this point, I'm holding off for a couple months to see if someone is coming out with an upgraded system that won't break the bank.🤷♂️

I doubt there be any new releases. If there was, it would have been out by now. Don't wait too long, or u may not get ur hands on any. I'm thinking of getting a camcorder for still photography. Most of them have a decent telephoto range and most have better image stabilisation than bridge cameras. Add to the fact they have pretty large aperture at the tele end. The downer is the lack of manual controls, photography wise.

I thought the macro was pretty good. There are 2 wasy to do it. One is use the super zoom from across the room at like 2000mm and 800mm or go down to the 1 to 1 and get really close. Warning thou Macro and people who do it seriously are a whole different bunch that like to do it to extremes.

Do you have a video on setting up the camera with respect to videos of birds. This camera struggles to focus when record is on and we zoom in. The best way I had found is zooming in on bird or, hit record and zoom out to compose. However at times it start focus breathing losing subject. Thanks for this video.

Key word is some, I use an S21 Ultra myself and I do get some great shots out of it from the 3x and 10x lenses but the sensors are absolutely tiny, even as far as smartphones are concerned and the 10x just becomes mushy after a 2x crop and so the camera software oversharpens to compensate for that, making for a horrible image, not to mention, burst shooting images is basically impossible at 10x and the focus hunts way too much if your subject is in challenging lighting and is constantly on the move For everything else and most of my street photography needs, the S21 Ultra does fine, it is afterall the camera I have on me all the time and for most scenarios it works out But for wildlife, I'm seriously considering picking up either the P950 or P1000, leaning towards the 950 for the sake of portability 😊

Panasonic is a good example, there was a good superzoom line which is now discontinued. If these manufacturers want to survive in this cellphone generation they need to sell a lot of gear every year.

As of right now it’s very unlikely. There’s still somewhat of a “chip shortage” and arnt focusing to much on bridge cameras. They are focusing a lot on the full frame stuff. I think if you got this camera you wouldn’t have buyer’s remorse as I don’t see Nikon coming out with an upgraded version anytime soon. If they did come out with a newer model I would assume it would be the same zoom but better way of life features and a better sensor. Also it will probably be north of 1000$ as well

I've always wanted to have a P1000 but for me it was really expensive that time and also I was strictly advices against point and shoot by the friends. So ultimately I went into Canon 200D and a 55-250 IS STM telephoto. Than struggled long time until got 200-500 Tamron lens for very cheap. Unfortunately it gave me very little to no additional details on the long end and given the age, weight, no IS, it was not worth buying. I also bought MTO 1000 Soviet 1000mm lens, but it was not worth buying too. Well you know - buy nice or buy twice. Anyway I went further to buy a telescope (I'm more to planets tham birds) but it's u comparably bulkier than p1000. I finally decided to sell all that equipment and buy p1000 too. And maybe a better cell phone for short end photos. But yesterday I went to check p1000 and took my canon +55-250 and found unfortunate low number of additional details. Probably in the birding and very long reach Nikon did still better. But the amount of fine details I got on Canon at 400 eq. was nearly the same as Nikon at 2000 eq. in the sunny day. So I decided yet not to take that one and maybe r50 instead and keep 55-250 lens. So aps-c is also an option (maybe except birding)
