A couple of years ago I damaged my B700, and went shopping for a P1000. Every place was backorder except for a few sites on Amazon selling at a high markup. Then I got a notice of refurb available from Nikon and I jumped on it. Best investment I made. With the 3000mm equiv FL I can easily forgive small sensor size. Last year a pair of bald eagles nested near my home, I have hundreds of photos that I simply could not have gotten with a FF or APSC at ANY reasonable price (or weight) without mortgaging my home. Of course it's still pretty big. I supplemented it with a pocketable Lumix ZS80 (with 24-720 zoom). Even that sure beats a phone, but the image quality is not up to the P1000

[@SuperZoomVideos]

Yeah that was the great chip shortage where they went off market for a year or so. I think you nailed it though, being able to take the photo you can’t get with any other camera that won’t cost a small house deposit is too good.

I bought my P1000 at a JB Hi-Fi clearance sale for NZ$999. The EVF is a welcome improvement over the one in the P900 but the loss of the GPS is disappointing. Snapbridge can transfer GPS coordinates from the smart phone but only degrees and minutes but not seconds just to add insult to injury. I did get Snapbridge to work once or twice but have subsequently repeatedly failed to get it to work. On balance I am enjoying using my P1000 as an all-in-one point and shoot camera.

Thank you for this very informative video - and also the many interesting comments underneath, which give me a good overview. After a long hunt, I was able to buy a used P1000, which according to the seller had been "little used" and apparently only had about 500 shots. Visually and apparently also technically in very good condition, I then discovered that the numbering of the images had already reached over 7000 shots. Could that be a problem?

[@SuperZoomVideos]

I think it will likely come down to how well it’s been looked after, I’m sure im well past that with mine and the battery doesn’t last long but that’s expected. I would recommend letting the seller know, trialling it to make sure it works and take it from there

[@rolandzoske448]

@@SuperZoomVideos Thank you very much for your quick response. The camera seems to be working well so far, but I haven't taken many pictures yet. I could imagine that the lens mechanics could have suffered some wear and tear, but still work without any problems. I have now acquired a lens support adapter made of glass fiber reinforced plastic. The battery supplied still seems to be holding up well, but I have acquired a set of new batteries (1900mAh) + charger and Jaqueline Esen's book (in German) for the camera. Unfortunately, with older electronic devices, the power consumption often increases because the built-in capacitors, especially the electrolytic capacitors, age and then draw more leakage current. But that will take a few years longer. You can definitely notice this with my Olympus C-2000 with 2 megapixels from the mid-90s. But it is now very cheap to get and has a fairly bright lens - you can still take relatively good photos in the dark. But of course it is not a FLIR thermal imaging camera with germanium lenses, like the one I was once involved in developing professionally. ;-)

[@brianeibisch6025]

The P1000 as to its uniqueness is the number one camera in the world. It is on par with eccentricity to the Sigma 200-500 F2.8 monster lens from about 12 years ago without the $20 something thousand US price tag. Personally, I’m hoping for a 24 MP version of this camera as the 16 MP is now quite dated. I love this camera, and I think others do too because it is so much photographic fun. Who has heard of a camera that can photograph things that with your own eyes, you cannot see?? Yet this camera can peer deeply into the horizon and find subjects there to photograph. Nikon may want to wait for a couple more years but if this thing has been produced for six years, then there must be a considerable number of people buying this style of camera. Cheers and always want more!!

[@SuperZoomVideos]

Agreed, I think at its core they just need to polish the diamond they already have

[@fatoon7884]

Well, talked with pro photographs cause I hesitated with this p1000, and its not that of a dream, the big big issue would be the captor size, really small, which mean if not in full bright day the image will instantly lose quality, and zoomed picture would need tripod, and even steady the micro movements during the photo capture would make some movements, heard that the Sony Rx10 III would be clearly overall better, sure won't have the biggest zoom, i can't decide clearly what to take between these two, Heard the Lumix P2000 was really good and way less expensive but some overall manufacture qualities.

[@Vlog15714]

Is there a major difference in zoom between the Nikon P1000 and P950, or is it not very significant? I'm quite confused about this. My main purposes are bird watching, mountain views, and terrestrial views. Can you help me decide which one would be a better buy? Zoom is the most important feature I'm looking for.

[@SuperZoomVideos]

In the grand scheme of things not really, it’s definitely there but you at times in negligible. If you can get your hands on both got try before you buy it’s worth it. I have a few videos on the channel looking at the different between the P900 and P1000 with the P900 have identical zoom to the P950.

Better they cut short some zoom and put a sharp lense with 1/1.7 inch sensor and up the megapixel to 24. The large sensor will increase the picture quality specially in low light.

[@runargraneng4237]

Have you imagined the size of this construction? Like Sony RX10 IV is pretty close to the P1000 in size, but with a 25x zoom ending at 780mm. A 30x might be doable, 100x would look like people trying to handheld the Sigma 200-500 f/2.8 And it would be way to expensive for almost all interested in them. Might be the reason they are getting dropped, a RX10 V would probably be over 2000 dollars

I got one just before they went out of stock. It’s my ultimate favorite camera, so I treat it with utmost care. I am a hobbyist wildlife and bird photographer, the P1000 is all you need to get that quick shot without having to fumble around changing DSLR lenses or cameras. It takes pretty decent quality photos too at full optical zoom. It’s such a pity it’s been discontinued as so far I prefer it over my DSLR and Canon ultra zoom bridge cameras. There’s no way you can take a photo with your phone, no matter how great the camera is, if the bird or elephant you are trying to capture is on the other side of the lake.

[@Joshuamd80]

[@kwinzman]

I love the P1000, but it has some major limitations. If a competitor ever releases a similar model: The P1000's minimum aperture is only F8. Why not something like F22? Secondly the sensor is soo noisy, even at ISO100. I heavily rely on the Adobe Lightroom Classic AI noise removing tool to get usable shots at all. I know that the camera is dependent on the small sensor's crop factor to get 3000mm effective focal length. But I just hope if we get a new release there is some improvement in the sensor noise. And the finally hunting for focus contrast autofocus, especially at full zoom or low light, that sometimes takes 2 seconds to find focus and then sometimes still fails. Plus a myriad of smaller issues.

[@SuperZoomVideos]

Yes to everything you mentioned, a lot of that I feel could be overcome with an updated version of the camera.

[@curtiswrigley]

To fix image quality they need to increase the sensor size. That would reduce the zoom significantly

@@curtiswrigley The sensor is at least 6 years old. There should be some quality improvements even without changing the sensor size.

[@curtiswrigley]

@@kwinzman They could do a better display and better SW, but the effect on image quality would be minor. Its the small sensor that makes the amazing zoom range.

I have my doubts that any manufacturer is willing to invest into an ultra zoom at this juncture. The main problem is that the value proposition isn't there unless you're looking for a motorized zoom telescope which happens to have what is essentially a $150 compact camera tacked onto it. That niche undoubtedly exists, but it is very small. For everyone else, the P1000 is effectively a big and very heavy camera with a non-interchangeable lens that doesn't take particularly great pictures when compared to ILCs (for one due to its tiny sensor and second due to the fact that with increasing focal range, more and more compromises need to be made in terms of optics, impeding image quality and low-light performance). It weighs not much less than my D810 when paired with a beefy 24-120mm f/4 lens and that is a 36 MP full frame DSLR still capable of taking fantastic pictures fit for large print. A combo, that, incidentally, can be had for what a used P1000 goes on eBay, if not less (high shutter count bodies). The P1000 is absolutely a neat piece of technology and probably mops the floor with a 100 MP Hasselblad in terms of crop equivalent zooming. But it seems like a camera that one would really be better off renting for a day at a time.

[@SuperZoomVideos]

I think you have nailed it there, I’d love to see another affordable ultra zoom camera but it’s hard to picture where that comes from.

[@kokhowe]

What's next? I don't want to be pessimistic, but I think that now with the P1000 gone, P950 will likely be the last long zoom camera in the nikon series that reaches 2000mm or beyond. I do not think Nikon is interested in this category of cameras anymore because it is a specialized camera that only a specialized group of people e.g. wildlife photographers can really appreciate.

P1000 has a weakness with its sensor compared to all the new tech. It's a good daylight super zoom. Picture quality drops quickly with still shots as scenes get darker.

My Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra phone from mid 2021, with a well tuned GCAM produces amazing zoom shots at 10x with its periscope cam module. That periscope is a little less than inch long with a small 0.5cm diameter lens. If I can get good 10x from that (cuz. of multi-frame stacking of 10-15 frames + computational photography power of GCAM + well tuned denoisers sharpening etc.), The Nikon P1000 compared to that in volume is like comparing a black bear to a mouse in size. If they really seriously worked on it and used the full power of computational photography + some high end latest Snapdragon etc. to give the most realistic looking DSLR like quality to the image (not like the smartphone photos with absolutely over processed artificial watercolory look), Maybe put in a Samsung HP9 1/1.4" 200mp sensor in there, and use different levels of binning to pull out 2x and 4x simply in-sensor zoom (like it is done in the Vivo X200Pro phone) and have 83x 2000mm native zoom lens put into it, it could give 200mp 83x shots or 166x 50mp shots or 332x 12mp shots, and digital zoom can take it further to 1328x. Another important thing is to include state of the art algorithms for removing atmospheric heat haze distortions etc. Basically I want the latest smartphone 200mp periscope tech, with the size of the nikon lens, and want the algorithms to be like a well modded GCAM with 10-15f mutistacking. Technically very much possible, but there seems to be little demand or some other obstructing forces.

[@SuperZoomVideos]

I’m hoping there will come a time

[@romantashevRT]

Aren't all cameras get discontinued after ~5-8 years? Is Nikon just making some kind of advertisement ? P1000 is from 2018..So what we would expect? To buy the same model camera after 8 years? I am sure they will come up with a new zoom camera very soon..it is about time.

[@SuperZoomVideos]

That’s the tripping point, all indications from Nikon is this line ends with the P950. There is a technical barrier for this as well, you can’t really do much more on the zoom side without the camera being any bigger. One can hope though

[@tomn8tr]

Adorama and B&H show the P1000 as "Out of Stock" but Nikon's website lists it as available in new and reurb. When Nikon sells out, prices will shoot way up on eBay. It's going to be a great camera for the upcoming eclipse. The P1000 zoom may never be replaced.

[@kingfisher3011]

I bought the P950 instead due to the tripod thread not in balance plus there's not a great deal of difference between the 2 zooms anyway I'm happy with my p950 !

[@SuperZoomVideos]

That’s as good a reason as any, I was fortunate enough to have someone send me a piece to correct the balance issue.

[@bodurango]

I absolutely love my NIkon P1000. It can be improved, but I am constantly amazed at the bird pictures I can squeeze out of it with post-processing. I'm glad I have one and hope that it lasts forever. But in case it doesn't, I fervently hope that Nikon creates a successor. Nikon, if you are reading it, please eventually offer an improved version of the P1000 at a reasonable price. My birdwatching is a quantum leap more enjoyable because of the images I can capture. I am totally addicted to the 125X zoom . . . and want more, more, more. More zoom, more image quality, and more image stabilization.

[@SuperZoomVideos]

I’m with you on that, would settle for just an upgraded OS for the current model

I followed up on my order and they cancelled my order due to getting an internal email from nikon which explain the reason being pushed from gov and nasa! Not joking. He also noted it was due to the spy reasoning and that it was too powerful. I asked for a copy of the letter but the sales guy said he couldn't because it would threatened his job. In my opinion. The p1000 will remain king. Maybe forever. That's why I ordered 2 more and hopefully I see them. I'm in Australia. Cheers

[@fatoon7884]

Well, talked with pro photographs cause I hesitated with this p1000, and its not that of a dream, the big big issue would be the sensor size, really small, which mean if not in full bright day the image will instantly lose quality, strong zoomed picture would Need tripod, and even steady the inner micro movements during the photo capture would make some movements, heard that the Sony Rx10 III would be clearly overall way better, sure won't have the biggest zoom, i can't decide clearly what to take between these two, Heard the Lumix P2000 was really good and way less expensive but some overall manufacture issues. Photo world is crazy in price.. and in release of products, most cameras are almost 10yo technologies, not an issue, but the prices.. damn!

[@SuperZoomVideos]

All very good points mate. Having used mine for so long now I have to say the biggest benefit is versatility. I know it won’t be the best photo but I also know the guy next to me with the 10k kit is going to miss the shot because he hasn’t got the right lens on already.

@@SuperZoomVideos hi, the body 1000, the lens 2200 and the extender around 500. Going forward, the lens and extender will still be good in 20 years. For testing optical quality I use near objects with small text, eg food packaging. Long distance atmospheric effects kick in so harder to judge how good the optics actually are.

I am shocked that manufacturers can't see that there is still a market for ultra-zoom cameras because phones simply cannot compete with these! Samsung may have done some marketing damage by claiming 100x (x10 optical x10 digital) but the results were atrocious and that knowledge is filtering into the mainstream. Nikon really need to release a newer version with an updated sensor plus other improvements based on the technological progress since the P1000 was introduced.

A size of a DJI Pocket 3 has 1" sensor! I mean, if Nikon really wanted to make a killer flagship with this one, they could have just pulled the same with P1000 along GPS, Touchscreen and a OIS + EIS combo to even take better shots in low light. Low light with all the bridge cam sucks due to their small sensor size and no internal post processing. This would have completely stolen the spotlights even from other APSC Sensor imo.

[@SuperZoomVideos]

I talked to someone working at a Nikon store in Singapore about the sensor size and a few people here have commented about this over the years, apparently to have a bigger sensor while maintaining the focal zoom would require an even larger lens, not sure if that’s is something that can be overcome in time but that seemed to be the consensus

[@curtiswrigley]

Most people dont understand that the reason this is the only compact camera with this zoom range is the tiny image processor. Whih is also why its images are generally speaking sub par. There are very few things they can do to improved this. If the increase the size of the image processor (which would make its images more usable) it would significantly reduce the zoom range. The smaller the imager the more the zoom crop factor.

[@SuperZoomVideos]

Well said mate

[@makotocole]

Can you explain this more? Why can’t the sensor be bigger?

[@curtiswrigley]

@@makotocole the smaller the sensor the larger the crop factor. Think of an old slide show. If you project on to a full size screen you see the whole image. If you project same image onto a screen half the size, you only see the center of the image. In effect that crop is a zoom of the original. With a larger sensor the lens has to do all the magnification. That's why high powered zoom lens s on full frame cameras are enormous.

[@makotocole]

@@curtiswrigley Hi Curt, thank you for that explanation. You did a great job explaining it in simple terms. I now understand. I guess they hit a nice sweet spot with zoom range and image processing here (with a tad bit in favor of zoom range). Thank you!
