P1000 / P950 NIKON BUY IN 2023 ?
In this video we talk about the last 5 years since the p1000 was released. Has camera equipment made the P1000 / P950 obsolete ? - Навчання та стиль
Perfect video - exactly the info I was looking for. Great commentary - no fuss, no BS, right down the middle...
Much thanks for watching and the sub !
April 2024 just bought a P950 :) Thanks for your great video with your insight Very honest
thanks for watching.
This is a really great rundown !
I appreciate you taking the time to put this information together it was concise and it really highlighted both pros and the cons I just purchased this camera six months ago after trialling a couple of different superzoom bridge cameras and finally settled on the p950 I had been lugging around tons of gear just like yourself for years and it finally just got to the point where I thought to myself this is silly I'm lugging all this stuff around and hardly ever use all of it on a given outing so now I have one camera that I use for astrophotography which is a Pentax k1 Mark 2 and the other is the P950 which is wonderful for birds and just all arounder when our hiking
Much thanks for watching and yep we all have the buy more gear syndrome.
We bought our p950 two months ago, and we love it. I don't have much camera experience, so between trial and error, and "how to videos" I'm figuring it out lol. Thank you for the knowledge that you share.
Awesome thanks for watching. Give your camera time... It is not the easiest camera to use but you can get some great results if you take your time and learn to pace yourself with the cameras performance. Thanks again and the sub.
P1000 is a great ”first” hobby camera for me. Some day I might have the budget for dslr, but this thing is so versatile, it will have its place even then. Meanwhile I’ll enjoy counting bird species, shooting the rings of the saturn, and craters of the moon, cause it’s just pure joy.
hey hope things work out.... Thanks for watching and commenting !
Great video! Thank you, I just ordered mine. I'm 'that' guy who won't care if there's some grain here and there in the picture. Most of it shared online won't even be visible unless you zoom into it
I have been birding for 7 years now. I had a Nikon b700 point and shoot and recently got p1000, 2 months back. What you are saying is absolutely true. The weight of carrying the lenses and dslrs takes away the beauty of the trip.
No doubt many times its about the experience just as much as the nice photos... Thanks for watching and the sub.
Is sx70hs good budget for photography and videography both?
@@baristaplayergamingofficial Depends on your expectation. All I can say is take a look at some of my videos like the p1000 and that should give you a rough ball park of the image quality as they are similar.
It is good @@baristaplayergamingofficial
I'm thinking about buying the P1000 towards the start of 2024, you helped me decide on it. Thank you
excellent thanks for watching...
I've been lugging big iron around for 50 years now, I love the gear but am on the verge of going to a bridge camera and this video has helped me make the decision. I won't miss the weight and I won't miss the sensor dirt. I will miss my super wide angle, but for the most part that can be done using pano techniques so I'll manage.
Time to move on I think, and sell the big iron while it's still worth something.
Yea, few people miss the weight. It is a change in perspective once you star working with the 1 bridge camera versus all the other gear you will have some things to overcome but hey 100lbs vs like 5 or 10lbs of gear is a nice swap.... Thanks again for watching.
I have ordered a p1000 and this review helped reassure that my goals are in alignment with what this camera can do. Thank you!
Hey thanks for watching and enjoy.
What is your experience with p1000 as you might have purchase? Is it same as mentioned in video?or some issue with sharpnes of photos and videos?
Great video, as usual. I've used a P950 for a few years and I really love it! I provide photos for the US Forest Service, National Weather Service and Virginia Tech. I wish I had the P1000 but my P950 is a gem. Price point is spot on for a retiree. Thanks Stafford
Thanks for watching Brian and the kind words...
There isn't a huge difference between p950 and p1000. You can delay the purchase
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!
Do you think the spotting scopes give a better image curious ? Thanks again for watching.
@@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.
Thanks for making those P1000 vids years ago, got me into the hobby in the first place! Channel has been an absolute goldmine for getting started with the camera and setting up for birding.
@@OctoBooze ahh ok makes sense. Yea some guys do digiscoping. I thought the p1000 kind of replaced that gear but do not have experience in that area. Thanks for the reply thou
Thanks for all the good info on settings etc. All the pros seem to agree the P1000's 4K video setting is comparable to vastly more expensive rigs. Bought a short rail mount by smallrig that really helps balancing on a tripod. I'm impressed with the almost tightest macro sharpness. Bought a LED ringlight just for that. Bugs and mushrooms beware!
Nice, good to hear....... Yep macro is killer function. Thanks for watching.
Great video and info...thnx. I am just starting out and didn't have thousands to spend plus this is all in one. I see this as a great learning camera, possibly all I will need for hobby (maybe sell a few pics eventually).
Thanks again for watching !
Awesome to see a comparison with some high end equipment. Great work Stafford
You bet also thanks for watching and the sub !
Also nice channel , just visited and sub…
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE all good man, I can see the effort you put in to this. Keep it coming.
Such a good honest review!
Much thanks….. Also for watching and sub
Thanks Stafford for another great video. I personally still love the P1000 only have one issue but that is probably me. Could you please share your settings for "birds in flight" photography on the P1000. I never seem to get good focus. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Ahh I might try to create a video on fast action items but my setup with be greatly different than others so stay tuned. It is half setting and the other half the user knowing what you can get away with. Hope this makes sense , thanks for watching and and subbing.
Excellent! I purchased a used P900 for $450 and take it everywhere here in Montana and Alaska. I like it for posting on the web. Max shutter speed 1/4000.
Because it is relatively inexpensive I take it canoeing, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and hiking in the rain and snow. With a tripod and 2-second delay, and adequate lighting, I've taken some nice bird shots, some long distance grizzly bear shots (> 300 yards) and some nice close-up of moose in our backyard.
Nice you are in some great areas for that kind of photography.....
Thanks for your experience
You Bet...
Very good real world info here. I got a FZ1000 when they first came out and it rides in the truck wherever I go. Been beat to heck and back and still fully functional. Some of my best photos were taken with this rig, not because it's better than my larger sensor cameras (it's not) but because it's always quickly available to get the shot. Although much cheaper than my other set ups it has been by far the best investment I made.
Yes, funny how that works out right ? Also thanks for watching !
Photography, no doubt, is an expensive hobby. The best decision I made was to start with point and shoots and stick to it as am just a hobbyist.
I just got my P1000 today and I am excited to start using it! I have been using a Canon 6D Mark II and the body and lenses get really heavy in a short time. I also can't get the zoom I would like for bird photography. With this camera, I will definitely be able to get closer with our disturbing the wildlife. It seems like for the price, the compromises are worth it! I want something that isn't too heavy that can give me a decent zoom! I also figure that I really don't print photos these days and post them online, so super high quality images aren't necessary to do that. Thanks for your review!
Congrats to the new camera. Take patience with it as it is not a DSLR. The camera has its on weaknesses but will work will given time.
I got P1000 this summer from Dubai (for about 830€) and I am enjoying it.. I got awesome shots for the Moon and sun, and Startrails. Even some great portraits with my family in the nature outside.
I will look into your videos about settings and the best way of shooting pictures/videos.
Thank you for your video!
Very nice I like mine as well for a 1 camera solution. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
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.
Much thanks for watching Chuck.. Yea, I do have a few plans for even smaller gear so stay tuned.
Ty!👍👍
Thank you so much
Everything is truth 🔥🙌
You bet hope it helps.
Stafford, good to see you give the bridge cameras some more attention, one of the things that first attracted me to your channel. I had a P900 and liked the lens but hated the viewfinder and motor drive finding it either too fast with blackout or too slow. I have a Canon SX60hs that I take out and while you can't track birds in flight very well it does a great job on nesting birds and can shoot at least seven-FPS with what seems like an unlimited buffer with JPEGS. I know the Nikon P950 has fixed the viewfinder problem but I wondered about the motor drive options and the problem of blackout after a burst. Specifics? Great video.
I would say the performance is about the same as the p900 maybe a bit better. Viewfinder is much better more solid build it is nice but speed is the worse thing about the camera. It does lock up many times at the 27 jpeg buffer max. So to me I really have to watch the buffer and plan my shots. Hope this helps.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE What motor drive speeds do you have with the P950? The Canon SX60 I mentioned has apx. 3fps continuous and then claims 10fps fixed but with no blackout and a huge JPEG buffer. As I remember the P900 had, maybe, 2 FPS (too slow) and, roughly, 9 FPS but with a blackout that could last three-four seconds following a burst. Just wondering how the P950 compared?
@@brucegraner5901 Sadly that has not changed that much maybe a little bit better. If I know I want a longer session I use that slow 2fps to 3fps. 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!
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 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!
Thanks for watching and good luck with the p1000 if you purchase it !
Thanks for the insight. What's the feature about timelapse and AEB? Thanks again.
ahh i have done time lap with sunrises the camera does well.. AEB does ok as well.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE thank you so much, I heard that the time lapse minimum interval is only 30 seconds in raw, is that true?
@@OnyxLee wow not sure on that. The longest exposure is 30 secs. The longest video is 30 mins for regular video if that is what you mean. I have done video up to 30 mins of a sunrise and then just speed it up by a 30 times and have 1 min of time lapse hope that makes since.
nice perspective. i adventure travel by motorbike and focus on wildlife when available. last month i scootered 2500km around sri lanka and my p950 got so many amazing wildlife photos (leopard sleeping on a tree which was not possible to see with the naked eye) and the great thing i can ride with it strapped around my neck making it really versatile for pulling up on the side of the road and getting quick shots of birds etc. next month i plan to do a few national parks in india (tigers) and ride north into ladakh (himalayas) and excited to see what my p950 will capture. for my kinda travel its hard to find anything better out there at present.
Indeed.... Hope they keep making them.
Also thanks for watching.
do connect if you are coming to north india. Corbett might close in mid June, because of monsoons. Best wishes.
@@DipeshMehrotra Thanks for the information and everything.
I came to the right video you convinced me to purchase this Camera I'm not a Photographer I mostly want to use it to hunt UFOs during the day which the P1000 has super zoom and by reading the Sección Comments this is going to be my Christmas present. Very informative video 📹 👌👍
Thanks again for watching hope it works out for you !
Thank you for sharing this video and the last one on the P1000 .I have asked for this for Christmas 2023 I am a Hobby photographer . My last Camera was Canon SX50sh ....It is dead now the White balance has gone . so been looking for a good bridge camera that will last. UK New Sub . Lovely channel
You bet thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing.
I use the D5500 + Tamron 16-300mm and this P1000. The D5500 is great, but I am much more happy with this P1000. I use a monopod, because you are more flexible with it and the P1000 is easy in use too. Only in P and Standard you have RAW. That's the only thing I miss. I use most of the time Scene, to go easy in the menu. Thanks
Much thanks for watching and the information !
I am using P959 camera for last 3months specially for wildlife and bird photography. Got decent result except some problem of focus at very high zoom position.
yep, low light especially right ? A compromise but if it works for you that is great..... Also thanks for watching.
Also thanks for the sub !
I have a P1000 too and if you use good photographic techniques it is amazing what this camera can do. People are now used to smart phone pictures so it is easy to impress with point and shoot camera shots. 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. Pluto is only about 45 or so pixels but no other camera I know of could pull off something like that at 5.05 Billions kilometres away. Cheers.
Totally Agree !
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
Also your UV and IR filter is useless, the lens itself has with a very high chance a good coating for it and the sensor has a IR cut filter to avoid your „wrong“ light to begin with
Could this be an alternative to a telescope / spotting scope for example for used in a fixed location, maybe connected to a separate hdmi screen?
LOL yes very much so. This camera has so many uses. People have replaced their digiscoping with this camera in birding and other items such as airplane identification ect. Enjoy and thanks for watching.
Hey buddy... so I just came across your channel and I did subscribe. I'm looking for a point and shoot with a long zoom 2000mm ish or more. I'm new to photography and don't want to just yet go down the road of dslr and then buying GIANT LENSES. So my question is.... I can buy a new p1000 imported model, I can wait to see if they do restock them around may (1 place has told me) i can get the p950 now, or do you know of another good camera around the same optical zoom. What would you suggest? I do understand its just YOUR OPINION but thats what I'm looking for..... thanks again
yea, tough call i do have a video on the p950 vs p1000 which the cameras are different enough that you might want to watch to see if it is worth waiting and you need the additional 1000mm zoom ?? I have both cameras and prefer the p950 for moving around and the p1000 for sitting and zooming. Image quality is close but Id say overall the p1000 a tad better. So wish I could help you out more but so many questions and variables. You should be able to do everything with the p950 that you can do with the p1000 except the longer zoom...
Guess this is just the video i needed.
Practising a bit with a Canon SX540 for wildlife photography and was looking for something more powerful and less blur.
Have been through tons of camera information, because i am on low budget and want something good so bridge camera is most likely.
Was also looking at the Canon SX70.
How is is macro function on the P1000/950?
Thanks for your video!
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.
hope this helps and thanks for watching !
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE
Thank you so much!
Super versatile camera once you accept its limitations due to its small sensor. I bought it at launch (coming from a P900) and bought a second one years later (long story). I was using a DSLR + long lens before but its weight and size was taking away from the enjoyment of the activity. I use the P1000 even for night photography and camera trapping and have been satisfied with the results.
Great to hear wow camera trapping ? Thanks for watching and sharing....

Great insights.
Any idea if nikon is gonna come up with a upgrade of p1000.?
Hey, thanks for watching. I do not have any idea if they are coming out with another one. Also thanks for the sub.
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
@@Baitcasterbass currently I dont have this camera, but I intent to buy it ($800 new in my region) . Only thing is , as it is a 5 year old cam I dont wanna be the end of the product replacement cycle
Any rumors of an upgrade in the works? I’m thinking to get a used 950 and see if an improvement over the 1000 comes out.
No news on my end... I too am curious ...
I am a sony guy with a9, a6400 , 600 mm, 100 400 mm. and TCs in my bag for clicking photographs. I bought P1000 esp for videos. 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. Do share your experience on this or any video you can create on this would be helpful. Thanks and Regards
Much thanks for watching. I do use manual focus a more than you would think. I understand video is something that really is touchy. People like to manual focus others like auto so it does take time to get a specific craft to how you want to make it look on your zoom and focus spots while recording. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
I love my P950 does everything I need
Very nice to hear.. Also thanks for watching.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Stafford I bought it after watching your earlier video review on it, i originally wanted the P1000 but they are like rocking horse 💩 so bought the P950 instead I’ve not looked back. I’m a pensioner so don’t have loads of money to spend on camera bodies and lenses so it works for me. My brother is a serious photographer and carries two lenses where ever he goes and I’ve got my camera that can do everything his does maybe not quite as good but being a good photographer to me is not about how good your camera is it’s about how you compose your shots. I watch all your videos on the different tech and really think they are great. Thank you
@@lesliesangster3841 Ahh yea I definitely think you get it as far as usability and freedom goes. Also the price to performance ratio is totally good as well.
I use a powerbank with my nikon p1000 it´s so great
lol nice, ill try that one !
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.
yep have that gear and it is pretty good.... like my r10 with 100-400 and 800mm f11 along with my 800mm f5.6
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE yeah i had the EF 100-400 II as well, sadly i sold it since someone gave me more money than i paid (2nd hand) plus it was too short on full frame. On APS-C i would probably love it nowadays compared to the shaky, heavy and not weather sealed Sigma
英語わからないので単純に
P1000 P950 どちら買えば幸せなりますか？
Eine Frage hätte ich zum Umstieg, macht sich das nicht gewaltig auf die Bildqualität bemerkbar ? Minisensor gegen Kleinbild. Wollte zur P950 wechseln mal zu testen, oder ist die BQ der P1000 gleichwertig. Danke.
Die Bildqualität der P950 und P1000 ist dieselbe, wobei die P1000 ein etwas größeres Objektiv hat, aber insgesamt gleich ist. Im Vergleich zu einer Vollformatkamera gibt es einen Unterschied in der Bildqualität, aber ich benutze diese Kameras nicht als Ersatz für meine Vollformatkamera. Vielmehr verwende ich sie als Ersatz für leichteres Equipment, das dennoch schöne Bilder produziert."
I've been watching for 2.3 years when the new nikon p1000, p1100 or canon sx80hs will come out, so maybe it will be with a 1" sensor or maybe it will have better image or video quality, but it's clear to me that they stopped with new models for 7.8 years. it is known when the new models will come out🙋♂️👌🇭🇷
Hi..is it possible to set iso and F in A mode (P950)?
Yea, i can set ISO and Aperture at the same time. once you want to play with ISO, Shutter and A go to manual ... hope this helps.
If you shoot RAW, I can still get clean shots at iso 1600 if I use Topaz Photo AI.
ahh good to know. I have used it before but never pushed it that high of ISO will try it. Thanks for the info
@@kokhowe yeah even at iso 2500 I’ve found I can get clean results (if exposed correctly) in a a lot of situations with Topaz Photo AI. I just need to make sure I shoot in RAW. 👍
P1000 is the best for what is doing. Let's hope Nikon continues the legacy and will bring the next P1500 or P2000 with DSLR lke performance and bigger sensor. Just got mine 3 days ago...it is a GEM.
Much thanks for watching and let’s hope !
I don't like to have many lens, tons of stuff and weight... So, I bought the Canon SX740 HS, but the focus and image stabilization is awful... I'm considering to buy the Nikon P1000 or P950... Thanks for the review!!
You bet hope it works !
Torn between the nikon p950 and panasonic fz300 for a first camera to take nature and wildlife shots with. The Fz300 has dust/splash resistance, but the p950 has so much more reach. How sensitive are cameras like the p950 to damage from the environment ?
Wish I could help you out on that one but that is really tough to answer...
Reach is far more important and needful feature. Weather casing isn't. Get the P950.
Dust was the reason I got rid of my Sony cameras. None of my M43 cameras had dust. I wonder how DXO does with the P1000.
Yep sony and dust lol.... Thanks for watching m43 never had an issue with dust as well.
i use p1000 if you understand the limits .... it's greater...also use full frame and this combination it's all i need.......
Nice switch up right ? Thanks for watching ...
I guess this is the end of the line for these great cameras. If there is any new model, there might be some minor upgrades like a bigger buffer but there will be no major change. 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.
Sadly that is the case.... Man kind of sucks...
I got the Samsung galaxy s23 ultra in February the camera is amazing if you fully utilize the features you get some amazing photos to the point I couldn't justify the p1000.
I surpose if you pull out one of those cameras you look the part and if you like carrying heavy stuff around it's perfect.
A tripod with the S23-ULTRA and happy days and nights photography
LOL, i have one as well.... Great camera system. Might do a video on it.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE that would be awesome I have a 12 inch Dobsonian telescope by holding the camera over the lens I have got great photos of the moon but I need some mount to attach phone to telescope for the planets. In your honest opinion what would you recommend the p1000 or the S23-ULTRA? The ultra camera can do a lot of things. If you go into Samsung members app you may see some of my photos there.
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 😊
@@govardhanposina17 Same thoughts thanks for S23 here ...

Hi sorry but you CANNOT compair a s21 ultra to a 23 ultra not even close.
And again I'm sorry you guys don't have a 12 inch 1500mm telescope so you can only use the p1000.
My mount showed up to house the phone to do astrophotography which is great and won't be limited to the focal length and pixels of the p1000.
So there you have it sux to be you
Mine is p950 ❤
Nice....!
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.🤷♂️
Sounds like a plan... If they put the newer sensors and processor into the same camera it be a game changer its not the lenses but the sensors that could take these little cameras to the next level. Thanks for watching.
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 ordered a RX10 MARK IV, and my camera shop just got it in last week. So far, I'm REALLY enjoying it!
I’m torn between the 950 and a Canon SX70hs. Any words of wisdom? I shoot wildlife in Africa and here in Canada, birding and want moon shots.
Hey, if you have a bit, I might make a quick video between the 2 cameras. I have both, too much to put in here. so stay tuned.
Also thanks for watching and subscribing.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE actually going shortly to compare hand in hand. Think I’m siding with Nikon 950…will I regret it?
@@melissasault343 If you prepare you mind in advance of the shots it is better than the Canon. You have to anticipate a little better but to me the images are of better quality.
Is it okay to buy a used Nikon P1000 for $500 at this time?
Tough call on that one. I am not sure who the seller is and if they have taken care ot it. I am always a little more paranoid on bridge cameras as they are not quite as strongly built as say a DLSR. Hope this helps .
p950 or p1000 which one is more preferable in 2024 for super zoom?
not sure i like both because they serve different needs. I do have another video on which one best fits you ..
Febrero 2024 me compro una P1000 nueva 800$ y dejo mi 7d aparcada, mire una r7 y un 200/600...no vale la pena gastar tanto para un amateur como yo , me compro 8 baterías y unas cositas y con 1000 $ tengo mi equipo nuevo fotográfico 4k video para birding a bordo de mi barco casa...
Me preocupa su fiabilidad, veo muchas quejas de averías p1000 en UA-cam, que puedes decir de tu experiencia de usar tanto tiempo la cámara, es cierto que se estropea fácilmente?
Is these as good as a DSLRs sir
Yes and no. They are not nearly as fast and the iso sucks but if you know how to use them the 3000mm is really nice.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE iam already using Nikon p600 since 8yrs it's superb ...i wants to upgrade but lot of confusions 😔
Which would you buy? The 1000 or 950?
ahhh good question I have a video for thatt in my library. ua-cam.com/video/B0wJ_aXOO1Q/v-deo.html
hello where i live the nikon p1000 is 1000 dollars do you think its still worth it?
as with any camera you need to set your expectations. I think many guys might benefit from a DSLR or m43 camera instead. Figure out your use cases and what you will do with the camera. If you really need 3000mm and do small bird photography or you want something more durable and faster shooting. Tough question for me to answer i do not know your life style.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I like to take pictures of astronomy and wildlife
@@shrekshrek look at my initial review then. I do have a moon shot and wildlife with the p1000 camera... Thanks for watching.
It works its just not a dslr or mirrorless camera much slower pace fyi... Could be a deal breaker for some
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHEREI bought it and after a few months using the Nikon P1000 I didn't like it much
Dynamic range ? Missing
Good point the dynamic range is that of a smaller point and shoot camera. I never really have much problems with it but i guess some people can.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE i think it has a small sensor size just a big point & shoot camera with big optical zoom
In the Middle East, the price difference between the p1000 and p950 is about $300. Is the p1000 worth the difference, or should I buy the p950?
Tough call……. I do have another video you might want to watch that one…. It is the p950 or p1000 video. I can’t link UA-cam removes the links. Thanks for watching.
If you're still in the market, I have a like new p1000 with lots of accessories that I'm selling.
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)
Yes many pros / cons. I like the 2000 to 3000mm as I can get the exact frame without cropping the photos.I have videos of me comparing detail against other cameras. Please try and take a look at my zoom lens comparison you will see multiple lens comparisons. Also my comparisons between the sony 200-600 vs Nikon P1000. Just a few.
I won't buy a Canon R7 as I am able to get every type of photo other than Marriage photography at a close distance (with BOKEH) in low light.
For me, this is the best camera ever made (for price/performance) and I luckily own one. I have spent €1000 on accessories and I have everything through them.
Nice, its good to have things simple !
1000 en accesorios? Yo no más de 350😂😂😂
