Wow. It is so refreshing to hear a professional photographer compare the point and shoot super zoom camera segment against the high end camera segment and reveal the the picture quality of both segments is pretty close given lighting that favors the bridge segment. Thank you. Personally, I am not and never will be a professional photographer, but I am a happy hobbyist who enjoys taking pictures of family gatherings, vacations, birds, landscapes and weird things I see. Just trying to educate myself while waiting for delivery of my Canon SX70HS and saw your video. I'm so glad I watched it and am also now subscribed to your channel. Thanks again.
Hector much thanks for the kind words. Also thanks again for subscribing !
LOVE my Canon SX70 and you will too! Zoom is best used at 65x, with good quality. Any higher and it isn't as sharp, but it can be helped with a photo editor etc. The SX70 is easy to use. Not so great in low light situations, but it's not the end of the world...😁 Again, a good photo editor helps👍
I am an amateur as well. NO WAY can I afford the high end lenses. I have a DSLR .. with standard lenses. Someday, I might be able to get a more expensive lens. Just one though...😂 But, my SX70 ROCKS, so it's ALL good!😊
Thank you for putting all the effort, this really helped me
You are welcome ! Thanks for watching.
I have the G2 version of the Tamron 150-600. It’s sharp and focuses extremely well.
excellent heard good things about the g2 version.
Another really great video. Love how you explain your thought processing, it helps so much when comparing the differences. Keep it up. At present, I am leaning towards the P950 for my purposes and am very grateful for your channel. Cheers 👍
Simon once again thanks. P50 is an extremely versatile camera with a host of benefits from studio work, mic jacks you name it. It might not be the best specific tool but one of the best jack of all trades cameras.
This is quite a sound review! And you using the M200 to adapt telephoto lenses is something a real-life photographer could do without breaking the bank. Also you kept it fair and did not bashed the point a shoots, of course everybody know about low light problems and small sensors, but nobody would buy a 2/3 inch sensor camera for low light photos hehe. What we care about in these cases is the zoom and that is precisely what you did here. Thank you!
Great video! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for a great video! You did what no-one else has done, by comparing images at the same focal length!
I'm an ex wildlife photographer from the film era. My wife and I are full time working musicians, guitar and jewelry makers. When COVID hit, we were doing a month as campground hosts at a Northern Ca campground at a lake, and decided to stay on for 8 months. As you might imagine, I HAD to get a camera (Jill is very happy and successful using her iPhone 11). After some study, I got a Lumix FZ80, and am now looking at the P1000. I was wanting to see comparisons at equal focal lengths of the different bridge camera's. I wasn't interested in comparing the P1000 at 3000mm (eq) vs P950 at 2000mm (eq), etc, so THANKS!!!!
Kevin/Jill thanks for commenting. You know the gear is so good now a days that really if you take advantage of the strengths and reduce the weaknesses you should be good. I had the FZ80 as well. Nice camera, sharp images and good detail. 8 months at a campground nice hope you get some good photos.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Yep, we did indeed get loads of great pics!! The FZ80 is a great camera, but would be great to have the extra reach, and the manual focus ring alone on the P1000 is a deal maker. I'm not expecting the P1000 to be sharp all the way out, but nice that it's there. I'd probably be ok with the P950, but there are a couple of features that the P1000 has that, well, you know!
Excellent review! 💣
Thank you so much 🤝🙏
Much thanks
Thanks for this video, I have been looking at so many to see if I should upgrade my SX70 and have got quite wrapped up in all the technical specs and reasons why you might want to upgrade . My wife often gets better photographs than me on her tiny point and shoot , because she composes and frames the shots better and has an eye for subjects that are really interesting. Some thing I will now go back to improving myself! The quality of the tiny point and shoot still blows me away, but as you say, in good conditions. Some things that really matter to me when I am walking miles to photograph birds are camera lightness and high zoom for the many shy birds that I just can't get close to. I will upgrade for sure if I can get faster focus and ability to quickly lock on to moving birds. Sony RX10 iv has that but only 25x zoom, I'm hoping the longer zooms might add it in the next upgrade - you never know :)
Exactly , good to hear you enjoyed the video as well. Take care !
Nice comparing thanks 🙋♂️
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for you videos on this range of cameras!
(by the way, I do own a P1000 and thought the P950's shots were a bit sharper. Do you think there's a demand for a side-by-side video on these two?)
Yuri thanks for commenting. Curious what comparisons would you like to see a side by side ? I do not mind doing comparisons but do not want to be know as that guy who compares all the tech and really gets super down in the weeds, no offense there are so many really good guys that do that. This tech is so good we are really spoiled compared against what I use to shoot with LOL! If you are curious about some differences so are others , if you have any ideas I will kick it around. Thanks again stafford !
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Thanks a lot for the response. I'd like a short video with comparison in picture quality between the P1000 and the P950.
Thank you!
This is the best explanation on the superzoom war. Now I got a better picture to make a decision on to what camera to upgrade, if I need to.
Thanks for watching !
Thank you Great video
roadtrip thanks for stopping in !
very cool review sir. pls also review mobile phone cameras such as iphone 12 vs s21 ultra in details as a photographer perspective.
We can try at some point. Those items can be difficult to get ahold of lol !
Thanks.
I took digital photography seriously using a Canon Bridge SX530HS. I enjoyed shooting with it and I learned a lot.
Now I am using Canon APSC DSLR cameras.
I think a lot of people are loosing interest with photography, many are not really learning with the gears they have. The reason why so much negative about sensor sizes and more...
I have a Galaxy, smartphones are convinient and are getting better with computational photography. There are crazy features (pro) in smartphones as well. Most people are just taking selfies and not really enjoying smartphone photography as well...
Pretty sure poeple who love using Digital Cameras are more eager to use pro features in their smartphones.
I would like to see a such comparaison between:
- FZ1000 II, V-Lux 5, G3 X, RX10 IV, FZ2500/2000
- RX100 VII, G5 X II, G7X III, C-Lux, Lumix DC-ZS200/ZS220/TZ200/TZ220, Lumix DMC-LX10/15
Thanks
Agree phones are making huge strides!
Great video, I love that you were not bias to the larger senser because you spent more on those cameras. You explain how you can get great image quality from the bridge cameras similar to the larger sensors as long as iso is down and lighting is good which I have found is spot on!
I have the P1000 and you just have to implement some techniques to get the sharpest photos, like check the forcast and go out when cloud clears, keep your back facing the sun and wait for bird to crawl up branch and take the photo when it hits sun light. On overcast days I can still get bird photos which might be good in a non photographers point of view but they just won't have that jaw dropping or award wining quality and will look terrible if cropped.
Totally agree, 1 lens keep it simple and bam you can have some great results. The other cameras are so expensive when you start adding lenses ahhhhh.. Thanks for commenting.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE ...expensive and heavy! :)
Nice review
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you this was a very interesting comparison!
Just got a p950 and I'm very happy!
yes I hear that from many p950 owners which is good. Hopefully they will not abandon the p950 lineups
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I'm a geologist and I work a lot on the field, I already own a dslr (the Canon 550d) but it wasn't versatile enough, mainly because I can bring with me only the kit lens. This is a great compromise because it allows me to easily have the whole spectrum: great pictures of details, panoramic views, distant objects, and also to observe the fauna I encounter!
@@black931romeo Totally agree, and interested in what you are taking pictures of? Do you have a site or instagram ?

Nice review but still up in the air.... I have a Sony HX300V I got for moon and plane trail shots but over the years it has been in for repairs for the lens error E62:10 where the cable harness to the stabilizers give out after a year or two, has been in several times, glad I had Mack Extended warranty, last October the Mode dial went out and paid out of pocket to have it replaced hoping to buy me some more time on finding a replacement. On 1/1/21 the lens error came back, can still kind of use the camera and get moon shots on a tripod if not windy. So the past few years have been looking for a replacement and was excited about the P1000 but then decided to hold off...... In the past few months I picked up a Nikon D500 at the pawn shop, very low shutter count along with some lenses the person had also pawned. So debating on the Sigma 150-600 but not sure how close it will get me to the moon compared the Sony HX300V with it's 50X zoom. I also have a Nikon D60, d70 I had bought used and a D5100 I use more often along with some others I picked up used.......... Money is tight so debating on another bridge camera (Would like to have tilt screen, panoramic) Looked at the Sony HX400V but it has the same lens issue, mine was easy to use and in live view I could see the changes I was making... and or if the Sigma 150-600 would be better since the D500 has the larger sensor... After tax and getting a 5 year drop & spills extended warranty through Adorama that adds almost another $200...... Sorry for the long message.....
All tough calls for sure. I might put out a video on different lens zooms, say 600mm 900mm 1200mm versus 2000, 3000mm so people can decide how much zoom they need.
Great video, I’m going to Alaska for a bucket list holiday & can’t make my mind up between the SX70 or P950, this has made it even harder but I could really use the £200 saving by getting the canon.
Yes tough decision. Both good cameras for what they are.
@@stiaankruger2699 Yes and the jpeg engines are different as well. Really in the end you will have to adapt to the camera. Very close in overall performance as shown. I am thinking of doing a pros and cons of these two cameras.
@@stiaankruger2699 I’ve decided on the canon & should get it in a few days, it was the weight & size of the Nikon that made me choose the canon in the end. I could be carrying it for a long time.
@@stiaankruger2699 p950 is a good bridge camera I owned one,
Sold for a MFT then got a couple of lenses
Very useful
Thanks For Watching !
Another great review. You break everything down so well. I know I have asked you a couple of questions in other reviews. Just one more; do you feel the 1000 would give better resolution/IQ zoomed to 2000mm than the 950 at the same 2000 because of bigger/more glass? Thanks.
Overall I think the P1000 can give a little better image quality due to at lesser zooms you have a wider aperture which gives the image more background blur. You also have 2500mm which might also with compression of the lens give a better background blur. At 2000mm it is very close to each other more so other things come into play like weight, size, zoom compression that is more important. The Image quality again is so close I would not be able to notice the difference. At 2000mm differences might be in variations of the cameras. Both can do great but choose the camera that fits your lifestyle that be the best bet.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Excellent, thanks.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE what is the aperture of the P1000 at 2000mm vs thew 950?
@@shaolin95 Cant remember off the top of my head but it is at least as good as the p950 if not better. I know the p1000 is better at sub 2000mm with aperture it varies but slightly because of the bigger lens.
Great review, thank you. I am considering Rx10 over p1000 and p950.
Thanks for watching..
I need advice a great camera 🎥? I wanna buy one for me!
Thank you for all the effort you put into making your videos they are always worth a look.
Much Thanks Gary !
Amazing video. I own the sx70 hs for almost 3 years. But i want more zoom and considering p950 or p1000. But after seeing this video i will stick with sx70 hs until next gen of bridge camera released.
P950 and p1000 have better images quality because of bigger zoom capability, but i cant justify the size and weight increase. Too bulky and image quality increases are just too minor to be noticable. Also, it's still suck in low light.
Better wait for next gen bridge camera.
Sounds like a solid plan !
What’s the best for indoor sports (basketball mainly)? I have a Canon 1DX I use for football, but I have to sit higher in the stands for youth basketball. Do you think one or the other works better for sports?
ouch that is a tough one. Most of the time those games are not well illuminated. So if you want to get pictures of moving and shooting I think you are going to be hurting. Most of my photos from bridge cameras are of fairly static animals or really nice golden light. In a gym the lighting is very poor so not sure I can recommend a with a small sensor. Wish I could help out more.
Very good review but no surprise for me.
Thanks for watching !
Great video indeed. Just a question though...P1000 or the P950? Which is the better of the two?
Depends. see my video if this helps. Lots of questions to ask yourself. czcams.com/video/B0wJ_aXOO1Q/video.html
Also thanks for watching and the kind comments.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE You are definitely fatster than all of the cameras you ever reviewed. Thanks a ton!
It's a very interesting comparison, but there are a number of questions about it. Were these shots taken RAW or JPEG? (in which case we are comparing JPEG engines as well). Were the crops (of shorter FLs) of such an extent that the quality of the images is limited by the number of pixels in the image? What is the 2x converter used on the 100-400 and 100-300? I assume you mean the in camera digital zoom (as there is not an external converter for these lenses). That is only available in JPEG so I assume the whole test is done in JPEG. That does not totally invalidate it but substantially reduces its value. My experience of the 2x digital crop in Olympus cameras is that it is better to do the crop on PP.
I don't wish to sound negative, it is a very useful test of real significance to all of us (perhaps bad news for the Mirrorless and DSLR makers). I have P950 (just acquired) and EM1ll with 100-400 so will be doing the same tests myself. I bought the P950 for wildlife shots, cropping shorter lenses just doesn't work beyond a point.
Tom, it is only 1 small test in a huge degree of other tests that can be done. You are correct just jpeg, more crops done on the lenses with the shorter zooms but detail wise they held up surprisingly well. It will have to be up to the viewer if they see large differences. I did mention that we cropped in alot more on some images more than others. Thus basically see yourself with these cameras in a fixed position max zoom best light lowest iso what they can pull off and how they compare. If it was shot 1 hour later we would have different results for sure as the low light performance of the other cameras would take over. I took into consideration the average user not really shooting raw. I hope this helps, not an end all be all test but shows these cameras are more similar than they are different in ideal conditions. Basically do not go throwing away your camera thinking the next camera is going to save your photography.
I honestly don't understand why you say at 7:11 that they all look really close. I mean even on my phone the P950 looks way way more detailed...not even close special to the 2nd and 4th. And on my editing monitor the difference is even more pronounced
I'm a little confused. When comparing your (so called) razor sharp bird pictures to those of Jan Wegener they seem to be not as sharp as Jan's. Is it the new RF glass (and the Sony G Master glass)? I don't know the answer. :(
Sharpness is a personal thing. Some say it is too sharp, others not Sharp enough. Sharpness is only one spect. Color contrast can make it more punchy.
Hi!
Great video! - as always!
I have a random question...
I’am a hunter and have never owned a “god” camera before. I’m looking to get a camera that I can use to inventory different deers and so on. Up to max 350 - 400 meterS.
I don’t now if I should get the Nikon p1000 or the p950. I have seen the p1000 live and it’s big...😂
Do you think it’s worth buying the p1000 before the p950 if I’m not going to take pictures further out then 350 -400 meters ?
I’m a little concerned that the p1000 is going to be a bit to big and clumsy but at the same time the p950 is not exactly small...
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you from Sweden 👍
Gustav thanks for the kind words. So it is a tough question but both should work well. If you are carrying extra gear with you then the P1000 will make it all a bit heavier. It depends on how much you will be hiking and traveling around. One thing to take consideration is can you protect your camera well since both are kind of fragile and you need to make sure they do not bang on rocks or other trees ect? The more extreme the hiking, the lighter the camera and gear I take. Also remember 350 meters your image quality will suffer due to air quality, heat waves dust ect.
For me I think if it is hiking long distances 3 miles or more, I would go with the P950 as it has extreme range yet alot smaller even thou you mentioned it is not small. The other option is the SX70 which is way smaller and built better. I am thinking about doing another comparison video on this as well. I am surprised that when you start cropping how well it holds up to the nikons, thus with Topas giabit filter your cropping would not even be noticed.
I hope this helps.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE
Thank you 😄👍
This helps a lot!
Would really like to se the review SX70
you bet !
Can you do Nikon P950 vs P1000 at similar focal length ? Like 24mm vs 24mm ...Till 2000mm ?
possibly but the results are so similar that you would not be able to tell the difference
Hi! Can i ask another technical question about the P950? When i’m in S mode and want to shoot hummingbirds for instance i have my shutter speed at 1/2000. My photos are super dark. Why is that?
ahh yes you shutter speed is probably way too high as the exposure triangle is out of wack. ISO, Shutter/Aperture all make your photo either dark or light. If you shutter is too high well then you are going to have a too dark photo even if you raise the iso up to 3200... Hope this helps. Look into exposure triangle if you are confused. Hope this helps.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE ok i will learn more…thanks for answering 😀
Stafford, Thanks for taking a look at the Canon SX70hs. I own the SX60hs and its given me excellent results in a very light-weight package but, as you say, having the right light makes a big difference with the smaller super-zoom cameras. The new EVF for the SX70 is a much appreciated improvement. I did own a Nikon P900 but while the lens was excellent, the SX60 offered a more useful motor drive setting. and excellent digital zoom results up to almost the 35mm equivalent of 2,000mm's.
The EVF of the SX70 is very nice. Either way I am pretty sure those cameras will deliver the goods. Thanks for watching !
Great comparison! The P950 is the better choice compared to the P1000, all things considered.
What if you only need more zoom?
@@sammmyDaviS Only on paper it is alot more. In reality hardly. There is a video about it on CZcams.
Excellent info. I have similar results between the FZ1000 and G9/GX8 w/100-400 lens. The higher end cameras have advantages over the point and shoots in many ways but under ideal conditions image quality is not one of them. Love the super zooms.
Nice, glad I am not the only one seeing these results.
Thanks for sharing !
Would have loved also 1 comparison more... in lower light! This is where the APS-C with the sigma 150-600 would have shined with a high chance.
Thank god i dont have the super zoom related problems. I nearly got a 2nd hand sigma 150-600, luckily i tested it at the seller before buying it.... not really sharp this lens! even when you hit the focus perfect, it is just not good and you cant crop much if at all.
I got for a little more money a 2nd hand RF 800 F11 later... so much better this lens...
1) your hands dont fall off, the sigma is pretty heavy, but thats normal for a 150-600 Zoom with a 6,3 aperture at the tele end.
2) sharpness! its amazing how sharp the RF 800 is, even usable for astrophotography on a proper equatorial mount!
3) Autofocus... in wildlife i have to rely on autofocus a lot!
Yes, low light no contest the APS-C and full frame walk away very easily. Also thanks for watching......
I have done a comparison between my SX70 and my S23 Ultra. At 65 x zoom the SX70 was sharper but at 30 x zoom they are pretty close. For a smartphone the S23 Ultra is really mind blowing.😊
Yea, I think 30X is the max zoom after that it gets pretty bad for the Samsung. I had a Samsung s23 ultra great phone probably the best image for a smartphone but the bigger lenses win out with the point and shoots at 30X and beyond.
If you had to grab only one of these cameras to get shots of birds in the marsh which would you instinctively grab?
Yes, probably the P1000 it is a do it all camera. Slow focus not perfect but seems to have reach, image quality and some decen bokeh if you get it right.
Finally got my hands on a referb P1000... new cameras seem to be on endless back order... I had fun taking videos of dancing mergansers yesterday! I love it so far but I feel a loose component in the camera when it’s on and off. It’s like a counterbalance weight knocking back and forth. The only time I don’t feel it is when the camera is fully zoomed at 3k. Does your camera have that? Or am I sending this one back. Thank you!
@@sarahg1062 well I kind of hear and feel a slight rattle of something clonking around a little but not sure. Mine is very very slight sound. I noticed my canon sx70 is very much tight without any rattles. Wish you could test the ones out at Best Buy or another demo unit.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE thank you. In the meantime do you have tips about getting crisp photos on dark cloudy days? Also my p1000 is having trouble focusing at long distance. Any tips/settings to help that? (Bird photography) Ill review your videos, you may have already covered these topics! Thanks again for your help! You’re videos are a great resource!
Great comparisons! I'm happy the P950 did so well. I've had one for about a month and am extremely happy with it. I'm not worried so much about it having trouble in low-light conditions because I'm scared of the dark anyway. Hah!
ahh 950 owner nice ! great cameras !
Thank you, man. I have a p1000 and i want to have a1000, can you anser for my question, what camera have better continue shooter, p1000 or a1000?
They are roughly abou the same. Thou the a1000 has a medium speed photography which the P1000 lacks. Basically meaning, s\low, med, fast, where the p1000 for some reason only has low and high. So when shooting continuously you get a longer buffer run with some decent speed. Low continuously shooting is really slow, medium is nice and adequate. I find high continuously shooting too fast and you run out of buffer speed and the camera locks up. Hope this helps !
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE very helpful info. so, I will buy it, thanx.

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE What does the last sentence mean?

Max thanks for stopping in. Yes totally agree the flexibility is crazy with these super zooms. Sadly they are not really being pushed or marketed that much. I am glad you commented keep shooting !
Late to the party but thanks for a great video. I still haven't pulled the trigger on any camera yet due to tribalism and subjective views and videos. Yours are the opposite of what I've seen so far and exactly what I'm looking for.
Hey thanks for watching! Another video i have is on getting advice on wildlife cameras.
czcams.com/video/QmqmKtl5RV8/video.html&t
Seen this happen so much.
Hey, what are your thoughts on FZ 80 ?
I have used it. Well from what I remember you get alot of detail in the 100 to 250 iso range. After is0 250 the noise is really heavy. So depends on what you are looking for. These are smaller sensor cameras and the z80 is fairly old but it can take some nice photos in the right hands. The buffer was pretty good, takes sharp photos detail when conditions are perfect. The viewfinder was pretty bad very small low resolution ect. The 4K video if I remember was pretty good as well. hope this helps.
How does the Sony RX10 IV compare against all these?
Not sure the Sony max zoom is 600mm so have to do much more cropping.
Yup to 600mm the Sony is king. Also much much better AF but I have both Sony and p950 because that long reach is awesome
which compact camera would you grab for a safari in 2022?
Tough question just about any one that you can find available. Here in the USA most of the smaller super zooms are out of stock and the camera companies have not been making them in any noticeable quantities. Times are changing so if you can get your hands on any super zoom do it if that is your thing. My feelings in the next 3 years they might be dead ???
@@STAFFORDFUHS what do you mean dead? We ordered the sx70. Really didn't want to spend 700ish$ when we could have bought a 700$ lens. I don't have a dslr anymore currently so we went with the sx70
@@flowrider13roz Well there is no official word on the state of compact cameras. Like us photographers have been asking nikon, canon and no response. It is only an assumption that at some point they might stop making these smaller cameras all altogether. When 2 yeas, 5 years or 10 is only a guess
@@STAFFORDFUHS interesting. I had a sony a7ii but sold it with lenses a year ago for pretty much what i paid. So buying a built in lens camera seemed like a poor move
@@flowrider13roz hold on to it and if it is the last one they put out it will be worth double or triple. Collectors eat that stuff up..
Thanks for another super video! Been thinking of trading my SX740 for an A1000 after that one you did comparing just those two cameras. Now, after this one, maybe not worth the trouble? Is your advise still the same?
So many factors. I will say that this last video surprised me on the results. Yes the canon's seem to have more noise on the jpeg at higher ISO. Depends on your use, will you need raw, will you need a slightly lower light noise ratio ?? The differences are the same at lower ISO and only slightly better at higher ISO in favor of raw and the A1000, evf ect. So if I already had the camera, to me it would not be worth the upgrade and hassle. The SX740 focuses much faster so you are going to give some to get some advantages.
If you can swing a larger camera the SX70, which I will probably do a review in a few weeks is significantly smaller than the P950 which takes the place of the A1000 and SX740 if you ask me. You loose the pocket size camera but gain raw, an evf, more zoom ect.
I am really hesitant to suggest someone go out and buy another camera unless it is night and day difference which to me it is not. The suggestion of the a1000 vs sx740 is if you do not own either of them. Hope you understand because most people will probably not notice that much difference. Take care Robert and thanks for contributing.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Yesterday we were out exploring. I took the P1000 and the SX740. With the Canon in a shirt pocket it was so handy and capable I never took the Nikon out of the case! Think I'll keep it. Appreciate your guidance.
@@robertbissett @Robert Bissett curious if you could do me a favor? Take the SX740 and test this. First put it in single exposure mode and take a few pictures say 5 slow delivert photos. Then put the camera in continous high shooting and do 5 burst of say 10 photos. I for some reason am finding that my burst mode photos are slightly less sharp than my single captures. This could be me, but man I have noticed something different with continous shooting versus slow single captures on my camera. Curious on your results ?
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Will try tomorrow. Dark now.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE /Sent a couple emails with photos attached. Clouds and sun. 40x. Continuous won every time. One or more of the ten were better than any of the singles.???
If Superzoom cameras had the processing power of a mobile phone camera they would be even closer. I am pretty sure we will end up with cameras like that. Maybe even with upscaling like Topaz built in.
Gordon no doubt we can do that technically. I do see a trend of more and more canon/nikon/sony crippling their cameras as to buy more and more gear. I think these manufactures are on a path of severe profit optimization that will not allow them to cannibalize any of their other products. I get the feel since the updates for bridge cameras have been a long time we might of seen the last of them. Hopefully I am wrong.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I am still using an EOS750D from years ago because the Canon lenses work well, the crop sensor helps with telephoto length, and there are enough megapixels. My dad was a big Leica rangefinder guy, but I remember him coming home with an Olympus bridge camera. It was an APS film camera. He took some really great photos with it because he had it with him and it was easy to use. Bridge cameras have their place.
so we should turn off , auto focus full time?
See how it works for you. Just me, but once I get a solid focus I do not want the system trying to refocus all the time. This is a personal choice though not really a rule or law.
I am don't understand English but you are video nice
Thank you very much !
All would be revieled if you printed them,
Or shooting a landscape,
Bridge cameras definitely do a good job for photographing an isolated bird but landscapes or low light they can't handle,
Yea, full frame does offer the iso/noise advantage. Thou I have printed photos from the nikons and many people asks what dslr/lens I used. Most are very surprised when I tell them it is a bridge camera. Again processing and knowing what you are doing is key. Most people put cameras like this in auto mode and bam some pretty harsh results.
Bro what about camcorder versus nikon p950/1000?
Thanks for watching. I am sadly out of the loop for camcorders performance. I might be wrong but I do not think many camcorders have that much zoom?? Camcorders are still good for video and some of them have dual ISO performance, less megapixels but better low light capabilities, better focus for video as well. Pure video within the zoom range of what is needed , I might go with a camcorder more specialized. hope this helps.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE right now i have panasonic hc-v10 70x optical zoom but only 720 not fullhd so i want to upgrade but now thinking about nikon p900/950/1000 or camcorder with 50-60x optical zoom …. But nikon good as for zooming and also photo right??? Camcorder bad at photo am i right understand?? But camcorder handheld stabilization is better i think right?
@@anything7087 Yes and when you zoom out 50 60 70 80 90 and more times zoom the footage does shake. Check out my rabbit video all the video is done basically hand held with 3000mm nikon p1000. I only show the most stable video but that is what you can expect. Hope this helps.
The Sony RX10M4 is a top-class camera, I don't understand why you didn't test it with it. Can zoom from 24mm f2.8 to 600mm f4.0. What many do not know is that this camera can also zoom optically up to 1200 mm with very good quality, but only jpg. Digitally, the rx10m4 can zoom up to 1800mm, but then you clearly see a quality loss. The Sony costs something, but you also get something. The sony has a very good (by far the best of the moment) 1 inch sensor and a very good and sharp zeis lens. I have had many super zoom cameras, as well as still 1.5 x crop bodies and lenses. The camera I use most for birds is the Sony rx10m4.
I agree, I had the Sony RX103 a few years back it costs an Eye watering $1399. the M4 is $1699 to $1799. That is getting into some serious cash thou for most people. It is the best point and shoot but almost in another category. I do not have one anymore so could not test it.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I agree it's in kind of category of itself. But it's also really worth to get it or at least to test it. I have it few months now and I still don't use all features what it offers. It's really fast, autofocus is amazing, I started to record also some HFR videos. It's just that I would love to have more custom buttons or memory recall settings, so I wouldn't need to change some stuff in menus every time when I want to go to continuous shooting (I like it more than sport scene) or for night photos, etc. and I wish that stabilizer would be better too.
I would also correct the above comment from Theo GT - optical zoom goes only to 600 mm, but there is "Clear Image Zoom" which is additional 2x digital zoom with some software algorithm to make lines sharper, so it's not as usual digital zoom, but it's not optical zoom either. And normal digital zoom goes up to 4x, so that would make then 2400 mm and not 1800 mm, but this digital zoom is practically useless, because you can make it later on PC (resample to higher resolution), but when you take photo it's still better to get more into the frame and with more light and easier aiming, than dealing with "longer lens", which actually go into digital zoom.
OK, that would be just few words from me. ;) Thank you for reading.
@@Zokimaster Yes, I need to find a rental place for that camera or some how get my hands on one !
@STAFFORD FUHS the Sony RX10 IV is definitely in a separate class. I'd read all the great reviews on the image quality, so I tried it out for a few weeks and ultimately returned it. No argument on the great image quality! For me, and of course, this is a personal preference thing, that Sony menu system is a monster. It seems more complicated than is necessary for a bridge camera. When you're paying that much more for all those features, you'd like to be able to get out of auto...it's no fun anymore when your camera stresses you out. For me, I want relative simplicity, more zoom and less confusion! Lol. I admire all of the folks out there who have the passion, patience, and capacity to figure out the Sony menus! :)
@@djbosnick1072 so you took 10 minutes to try to learn a powerful camera? The RX10 has a LOT of features so of course there are going to be many options...take your time and in no time you will learn it and have memory settings for favorite stuff.
Hi
I am planning to buy one
But confused with 2 choices
Nikon Coolpix P950 and Canon powershot SX70 HS
Please help me to choose one
Just comparing the image, video quality, camera different range of settings and moreover build quality of camera which Last long.
My preference are birding and low range wild life.
I am currently using an old Canon powershot SX40 9 years now, which is good but sometimes I feel like need more speed of shooting and longer Zoom.
Please suggest one.
Any ideas of new Canon powershot SX80 release in near future.
Tough call. I think I am going to do an entire video on this. I just can not really give you a simple answer. I probably could put together a 10 to 20 minute video. hmmmmmm
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE
Waiting for it..........
Add me in too - SX70 or P950 for stills of birds/wildlife when I want a simple walk around point & shoot to email JPEGs. Have D500 & Z6 for other types of shooting. So, without waiting for you to do another video, would you buy SX70 or P950?

Is the Canon SX70 still good today?
It is pretty decent, i mean super compact so it does the job. Sadly all camera manufactures are not making very many of these cameras.

Thank you! Bought it. Great little camera for sunny days.
@@Sergey_Sergeev Excellent, enjoy...
P950👍
Am I the only one seeing massive differences in the image clarity and sharpness when the guy is saying that it is a "Total Wash"? I like the testing but the commentary makes me believe that what I am seeing is not the same thing this professional is seeing on his end, because what I am seeing is massive differences in the comparison images.
Jungle, curious what large differences are you seeing ? I am trying to stay neutral on this. Also youtube does compress the video and image quality on these videos for visual clarity. FYI. Also thanks for watching....
You are not the only one. Most of the times he says they look really close, the differences are SUPER clear to me. Like at 7:06 the P950 is EASILY the most detailed yet he says they look really close. It is very confusing.
@@shaolin95 That is good to hear. At least I am not the only one. I am also a CZcamsr with over 400 videos under my belt and as Stafford mentioned in his response to me, what we see on CZcams is not what the editor sees in the raw footage. CZcams compresses the snot out of the videos we upload, and not all videos have the same encoding and compress the same. There really is no standard in the video world. This is why I asked if anyone else was seeing the difference that I was seeing. I have had great-looking videos when I was viewing the raw footage, but looked like they were shot on a cheap flip phone after they were uploaded to CZcams.
One of the reasons for this is that CZcams uses two different encoding codecs to render videos; AVC1 and VP09. VP09 is a much higher quality codec that CZcams reserves for 4K videos, professional movies, and CZcams channels with over a million subscribers. This is one reason videos from the big-name YT channels always look crisper. This video here was rendered using the AVC1 codec. You can see this by right-clicking on the video and selecting Stats for Nerds from the list. Now go over to one of my 4K videos ( czcams.com/video/Id1TGNJsVGU/video.html ) and you will see that it was processed using the vp09 codec. This is because the avc1 codec cannot process 4K videos so CZcams is forced to use the better codec to process 4K videos. This video here would have been much closer to original quality had Stafford uploaded it in 4K quality. If you upload in 4K CZcams is forced to use the vp09 codec on all versions of the video, So even the 1080 HD video will much better because it was processed using the vp09 codec.
wow the size difference between the P 1000 and sx70.
Yes totally called it no even close.....
i super zoom non servono perchè non puoi portarti sempre dietro il cavalletto !
much thanks
suostei tae anak so k sabbay te
5:59 wow the P950 looks best. The colors are closest to what I see using my eyes. The rust and wood are very red. The edges on the washer are sharp. The shadows of the bolt are crisp. I came here because I wanted to get the SX70. I love it's size. Looks easy to bring along. I'm afraid if I have one of those big cameras in my car someone will break the windows and steal it. I have the SX530 right now. It's small enough that it doesn't look expensive. But now I'm debating between the SX70 and the P950.
I wont argue against that.... Thanks for watching !
Sx 70 , is rubish , very bad image quality...!!
