In this video we give the advantages and disadvantages to using Nikon's P1000, P950, and A1000 for wildlife photography.
If you are interested in looking at other reviews or purchasing the Nikon P1000 amazon is a great place to start.
A general discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of these cameras. Mostly these cameras are underrated in comparison to their bigger brothers the DSLR or Mirror-less interchangeable lens systems.

You are absolutely right. Regarding P1000, we could see that more than 70%of reviews are with negative comments. But the truth is one should know how to use it. Unfortunately many are after its small sensor !
yea use the insane strengths of the cameras.
Nice review - often seen reviews moaning about the image quality when zoomed out to 6000mm with Digital zoom on a hot sunny day! I previously owned the P900 until it bounced down some stairs and am now looking at the P1000. Great shots at the end and your review cemented my decision - many thanks.
Thanks for those kind words. Great shots can be done with these cameras. Just give it time and you will figure it out,
Great commentary. Just purchased the P950 and really enjoy it. Yes, if you pixel peep it’s easy to get get hung up on image quality. But this camera allows me to obtain images that I could have never taken before. Well worth the money and the small inconveniences.
I could not agree with you more an excellent underrated camera.
This is the first review of the 'superzooms' I've heard and seen that is truly honest. Most of the reviews I've seen have had completely unrealistic expectations of these cameras. Thank you.
Yes agree, most of the reviews give these cameras a bad review. Thanks again for watching !
I picked up LUMIX. FZ 1000. It has a larger chip 400 zoom but can do macro and every thing. I have had it for years. It’s great. Small chips mean slower . I think these. Cameras are fun to have with super zoom. For a zoo visit. But it’s heavy and large. It’s just a very fun camera. Nikon glass is very good.
Thank you thank you! An objective, down-to-earth, everyman analysis of the facts of what works best for most of us. I've been the DSLR route - had several grand invested in lenses. Pixel peeping was fun for a while. But then I went on an overseas vacation. Shot twice as many shots with my wife's little Canon point and shoot than with my DSLR. Aside from the convenience and limited usage of a quality phone camera, the small sensor superzoom point and shoots are a wonderful middle ground. I laugh at many dpreview reviews and comments from "upper crust" photographers, the pixel peepers of society who pan anything less than what they believe is top drawer based on their own narrow perception of the world.
I just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for subscribing and commenting. Yes, totally agree the market is pushing into 2 groups. Iphone's or full frame. Ease of use is something the camera companies have kind of forgot about or given up on. So many lost opportunities in my mind to create state of the art camera gear because of old traditions of not wanting to risk alienating your customer base. Reality is most people do not want to carry around a bag of lenses. When was the last time you seen some guy with a full DSLR taking family photos. 10 years ago it was a thing. Now there are like a 12 iphones right there and ready to go. The guy looks really outdated in many instances. Times have change definitely. Thanks again !
Thanks for posting this video. I've been using superzooms for years and now have a Canon SX70 that I'm not too pleased with. I'm considering a Niko P950 and your video has helped me decide.
Please remember it takes time to use. They work well just do not expect dslr performance or high iso. More like a great alternative to digiscoping.
Your videos are super helpful! Thanks!! And I love the shots at the end!
you bet glad you enjoyed.
Great video. The Nikon P950 is my must go camera. I don’t see ever looking for another camera. Thanks for sharing this video with us. ❤❤❤
Hey thanks for watching and commenting.... P950 still rocks.
Just got my p1000 a few days ago. I’ve been playing around a little with it. We are headed to Glacier National Park next month so I’m hoping to get up to speed on it asap. Really enjoy your photos and content.
Excellent Practice Practice Practice.....
I use a p1000 daily for mostly wildlife. I consider it an amazing wildlife observation “tool”. The image quality is really good as long as there is light. The downside is that wildlife is most active during the “golden hour”. I jokingly say you only get a golden half hour with the p1000. The camera struggles in low light. That being said, I love this camera. I hike and bike long distances and this camera is great...
Totally agree
A good honest and down-to-earth review Thanks. I got my eye on that Nikon p950
Scott thanks for the kind words. 950 is a great camera !
Also thanks very much for the subscribe.
Thanks for doing this! I have been looking at the P1000 or P950. I have been doing a little wildlife photography lately with a Panasonic G85 and a 100-400mm lens and have found that in many cases I just wasn’t getting close enough. I really don’t want to spend tons of money for an even larger slow lens. But I kept reading reviews complaining about the IQ. Your thoughts and beautiful sample images are really helpful. Now I just have to decide between the P1000 and P950.
Thanks for the kind comments. Many people have issues with point and shoots. Not me love them. 950 vs p1000 tough call my friend. If I had to choose I would take the p1000 it is heavier but I do use 3000mm belief it or not. My squirrel video coming out this week I shot some woodpeckers at over 25000mm FYI. Hopefully have it up by Saturday.
Stafford Fuhs Thanks. I am definitely leaning P1000. I really like bridge cameras. I bought a Panasonic FZ1000 in 2014 when they came out for video at events. My daughter borrowed it has been using it for her CZcams channel for a couple of years. I got it back about 6 months ago and I find myself using it a lot even though I have other choices.
Thank you very much for your very honest rewiev. I have a Nikkor 200-500 but have just bought the P1000 and was wandering if it's was a mistake I bought the P1000, but I think it was a good choise for shooting wildlife and the moon. Now I am not regreting it. Can't wait to go out there 🙂
You bet good luck
Thank you for another excellent video! For the photos at the end, it would be helpful if you annotated the camera, focal length and ISO. Thank you.
Ahh. Very good point will do that in future videos.
Really appreciate your candor. Great video, thank you
You bet ! Thanks for watching Simon.
I know this video is 2 years old. Maybe I’ll comment on a new video so you’ll see it, but thank you! Your videos convinced me to get a P950 (size was important) and I used your videos to set it up. Thanks!!
Wow, just seen this. Hey thanks for watching.....
Thanks for posting, love your photos...my favorite..the beaver, no the bison, no no it’s gotta be the goose! Great job ;)
Thanks for watching and the kind words !
Great photos at the end of the clip and good advice throughout. Personally, I love my Nikon P900, not so much for extreme distance where you collect a lot of atmospheric haze but closer in for mid distance smallish objects. Back in the day of film ISO was a problem and normally 400 was about as high as you went but even though the digital cameras can go much higher ISO I still think keeping that ISO to no more than 400 really helps in the quality of the image. Maybe a tripod is better than higher ISO for many applications, just remember to turn off your VR if using a tripod. Certainly not requiring a suite of lenses for this camera is a real bonus to the wallet; one lens does everything is a cool solution. I think every camera enthusiast should add either the P950 or P1000 to their gear. Used for its intended purpose it is unbeatable.
Thanks for watching !
I’d be interested in more videos on Nikon P950 which I am about to purchase tomorrow. I like the idea of not having to change lenses as I am a beginner. More interested in taking photos of all landscape, wildlife and the moon. Thanks for your review
You bet. I am planing on having some other videos on the P950 and p1000 in shooting photography. Wildlife and landscapes best settings tips hints Ect. I have to find a way to convey it to you guys.. Hmm stay tunned I might break it down into different parts, like widlife, landscape and basica settings 1 video for each area as these cameras are very complex. Thanks again for stopping in !
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE looking forward to it
Thanks so much
Great review. I'm slowly going over the justification for replacing my camera and i was excited for the P950, but the Sony line with their huge sensors had gotten me into second-guessing whether it was good enough for my next few years. Meanwhile, most of my photography is outdoor on Pacific Northwest trails, so i really wanted to believe that the Nikon is good enough. I think it is. I also remember a few years ago... What my first 12mp photos looked like...
I don't know if the Nikon shots will be good enough to show LARGE, but i don't have anyone begging me to fill a wall, at the moment.
Yea, I would not worry about printing large my friend as it is enough. The larger the print the more distance by nature as it hangs on the wall. I have made prints and you can always up rezz the photog to like 50mp if you want with the great software they have now a days. It really is if it is more inline with what you can deal with the noise compared to the full frame cameras. Also thanks for watching.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE ... As i think i have decided; i can deal with the noise better than lugging a thirty pound camera bag through the woods. Besides: my money this year was all made on a P530. There's no bad choice for me though; for CoolPix money i could have a Leica 100-600 on a Panasonic... Granted, one that does not autofocus for anything... For a little more, i can get into full-frame-Sony Land...
But at the end of the day, the one that does it all is the right one for the dude that's into everything.
Thanks a lot for a balanced, real-world review. Appreciate your thoughts and all 'sanity checks' remarks. Keep it up.
Appreciate your comments. Thanks again !
Thanks so much for your informative review of the four cameras. Do you always use a tripod with them? Do you have difficulty focusing with the P1000? When you use the P900, P950 and P1000, are you able to zoom all the way in bird watching mode? I have a B500 and it allows me to zoom to 900mm only in moon mode. The other modes only allow a 440mm zoom.
To be honest I never used the bird watching mode as other modes to me can give better results by lowering ISO. You can watch my P1000/P950 best settings and hopefully that will explain what I do. Also check out the rabbit video and prairie chicken videos for handheld and tripod use. I use bother. Focus can be an issue in low light. Focus is slower than DSLRs or mirrorless cameras but that is to be expected because they are cheaper.
Who else shouted "Steve" at 13:57?
Funny Stuff !
Hi Stafford, I like your video and have a question you might be able to guide me with. I'm an Engish guy living and working in northern Italy about 45 minutes from the mountians. I love to travel whenever we can but whenever we can we go to the mountians and lakes for walks, the scenery is absolutly breathtaking. For some time I have been looking at the P1000, it seemed to check all the boxes as a travelling camera, but also as a hiking camera for photography, video but also as an amazing monocular just to check out the stuff in the distance you cant see and decide which way to continue. However, the P950 was just released and now I am unsure which to go for? The technical gap between the two is small I believe, so the key differentiator is 3000mm vs 2000mm? Seeing the cameras in front of you also makes me consider the size as the P950 seems much more compact! So I'm not a bird or animal photographer, but nature generally, obviously photos in the mountians with these focal lenghts allows to create awsome images from a distance it would be hard to do within anything else.
I would really like to hear what you have to say?
Thanks John
John, thanks for writing. So both the P950 and p1000 are great cameras. There is really no going wrong between the two of them. I would say if you are more into mountain hiking smaller is better. If you are more of the get out of the car with the camera multiple times then the p950 seems to travel a little better.
There are a few things that the P1000 has going for it. The 3000mm lens is one of them. The viewfinder seems a bit wider and more open less cramped. Not that there is anything wrong with the P950 viewfinder it is good. The p1000 just seems a bit more spacious. If I am walking around in the woods where things are a bit cramped I take the P950. If I am birding out in the open fields or photographing animals that have a lot of space, ducks on water I would take the p1000. Again both are great, I have a tendency to take my p950 with me in hikes more than the p1000. If I am in a blind with less walking and travel I take the p1000. Hope this helps.
Hi Stafford, thanks a lot for your reply, it was very helpful and unbiased which I appreciate. I guess I need to decide is the additional 1000mm worth having vs the compactness and lighter overall weight?
Indeed. No wrong solution just usage.
Enjoyed the presentation very much. I am considering the 950. Quick question; is there any reason an after-market tulip hood couldn't be used on the 950? Reviews I've seen all say it causes vignetting but both have the same 24mm focal length. I don't know why the 1000 is a tulip and the 950 is kind of a silly little dish.
It works well, but I only shoot it at zoom not wide angle so not sure if that is your thing or not. For wildlife 500mm plus works well and better than the factory shade. Hope this helps.
Fantastic photos at the end!
Much thanks ! Also thanks for watching !
Some great information for Nikon users
Thanks, I guess short of it. You do not have to have the big gear.
Thanks for the usefull info!
I have the P900, what I missed is the raw capability, my 6 year old Lumix G6 has it. For birding I use both, but the manual control of the Lumix is unsurpassed! Besides, I use it with a Nikkor Reflex f/8.0 with a normal adapter or with the Viltrox 0.71X Speed Booster. Plus the G6 has the ability to add an internal 1.4X and 2.0X teleconverter (that is a sensor crop, not digital), so I come to the same 2000mm of the P900! This however without the raw. No pixel peep comparison done yet, but I'd like if you compare the P950 vs. the G9 with the Sigma 150-600.
A step up from the P900. The viewfinder for sure
Wow, great pictures at the end 🫨🤩!
Thanks for watching and the sub...
Thnx for the good video.
How would you compare the Nikon P950/P1000 to buying a Nikkor 200-500 mm lens for my Nikon DSLR camera. I want to do bird photography.
I’m in doubt...
I would like to be able to shoot handheld
The 200-500 lens is very good. You will be limited to 750mm or you can add in a teleconverter for more reach that will get you over 1000mm. Can do the job but if birds are small or you can not get close the p1000 might be a better option. Speed wise the dslr winds hands down.
Thanks for the video. Been looking at so many reviews and different cameras and more confused on what to buy. I will use it mostly for birding. Which would be the one to buy, Nikon P950, Panasonic FZ1000 or Canon SX70. The Panasonic was my 1st option but not sure if has enough zoom. Please help!! 😀
P950 for sure. I looked at all those cameras. They are good but zoom range for birding is needed. Again some birds are super small. Hope this helps.
yep, i have owned both for years (P900 and FZ1000). For bird photography the Nikon is my go to, given the correct settings and conditions.
All I can say is A BIG WOW.Great pics.I have the Kodak AZ901 90zoom.Did you ever see it or use it.
Charlie I have not used the Kodak.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I just found out they make a az1000 102zoom.But iam still going for the p1000 and a1000 .what is a good tripod for the p1000.but not a lot of money.thanks.
Good info. I might get one of these to take bird photos from my deck while I'm stuck at home. :-)
Ahh lockdown !
Thanks for commenting and subscribing !
Do you have a video on using the af-l and ae-l buttons on the P950?
ahh sorry I do not.....
hi do a couple off Air shows a year i dont fancy carrying a dslr around for 8 hours a day with all its lens im really not to bothered about filming only stills which will be better for the Nikon p900 or the p950and some landscapes and a bit off wildlife
Sounds good because really it is about fun and fun is not carrying stuff lol !
Thanks for the real review! I am undecided between Nikon A1000 vs Panasonic Zs200, which one you think will be better?
Thanks Baka, so if image quality is top priority then the Panasonic. If you need the lens focal range of 24 to 840mm then the Nikon. It really depends on different needs. The super zoom cameras are really in the class of their own. If you need zoom reach super zooms are the way to go. If you want slightly better quality go with a Panasonic point and shoot. To me I do not notice much difference between my Gx5II canon and my Nikon when shot in good light. I however only have 120 mm on the canon. So I mostly use the Nikon where ever I go because it is a better all around camera. I can basically do anything I want because of the zoom. You can increase image quality if you watch my other videos as I show tips on getting the highest quality possible.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I love watching birds so I think I am gonna go with the superzoom, either Nikon A1000 or Canon SX740 . Thank you very much I appreciate it. will surely check the other videos.
@@adel7525 u bet
Hello, which of the P series would you recommend for a beginner who wants to get into wildlife/landscape? I want to start making calendars and the like and I don't want the hassle of DSLR. Thank you
Any Nikon P950, P1000 or the canon sx70 hs. All these will create exceptional images cant go wrong. Try these 3 and buy the one that feels the best.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Thank you
Your film is helping！
I have subscribed your channel.
Excellent I hope this has helped. Thanks for subscribing !
Love your videos. Total rookie, between 950 or 1000, what would you recommend for use case: we elk hunt 9-10k feet, 4 mile hikes to glass location with 1500 vertical, swaro nl pure 12s and 8s on tripods to find elk. Want a camera to video elk range 200-1000 yards as we would love to capture them fighting and doing their thing during rut. Also want to capture elk to better determine how big they are as we currently do not carry spotter. What would you recommend?
Well, I would say the smallest possible super zoom that you are happy with The p1000 is huge for a mountain hiking camera. The p950 is much smaller weight is much less as well. Also be careful these cameras will not take much banging on rocks FYI. 10K elevation with other gear you know any amount of weight really hits hard. So protect the camera and avoid rain that might freeze in the zoom mechanics. Hope this helps, my concern is how rough you might get with the gear if you have a bunch of other stuff packed in with the camera. Thanks for watching.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE thanks and you are so correct on the weight. I would happily pay for a spotter but haven’t as weight sucks. Just finished 45 minute workout I do 4 days a week to stay in mountain shape. I currently carry between 30-40 pounds, wife carries half that. I think in a dry pack inside center storage area of pack should keep safe and it will live on a tripod when in use. Elk are most active first and last hour of the day, would the 950 be able to take decent photo or video at 1000 yards? I know it will not be print quality at that range but would love more detail than my 12 power nl pures provide. Would something smaller be capable at that range? Price is not a concern, just weight and if I need to carry more weight to get the job done I would love your recommendation and we will just have to work out more. Huge thanks for your advice and sharing your expertise through your videos
@@tyb3938 Dan, yep got to keep in shape mountain shape is different than other stuff, dang altitude just sucks your wind out of you. So your image quality will depend on your air quality, heat dispersions, mist, fog, rain. To be honest I never really taken photos out that far so not sure. I am sure thou that the camera can take good photos and is a nice choice. But good photos depends on your light and and technique FYI. You could go for some rougher 80x spotting scopes with an iphone adapter it is called digiscoping Look it up if you are not aware of it. No matter what you use to take a photo of an elk at 1000 yards quality is going to suffer just no way about it. So try not to have too high of expectations, bad air conditions even if you use the most expensive gear like sony 600mm you still going to have a bad image. So if you go that route practice taking photos long distance. Cold weather with little heat helps, no smoke, clouds ect. Stable tripod or put it on a rock ect. To sum it up the optics will not hold you back, I cant think of a camera that would give you much better resolution and clarity FYI. SO go for it and good luck !
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE thanks, normally 15-30 degrees and clean dry air, unlike what we get down in antelope country. Would you take your 1000 or your 950? Loved your painting with flashlight video, that is artwork, look forward to watching more of your videos
@@tyb3938 P950 ,,, thanks again !
I'm torn between the p950 and Rx10 iii.
Got the fz330 now and it's great but I want better photos at the longer range.
Just feels like the fz photos can be a bit grainy at 600mm and pixelated when blown up.
The Rx10 has the sensor but the 950 will take shots the rx can't get.
Any input to help me decide would be appreciated.
if wildlife if your main concern always go for the longer lens. The longer lens is just something you will need for birding. just an FYI !
600mm sometimes isn't enough which makes me fancy the p950.
But often it is enough, just not good enough quality. My photos look great on the phone, atrocious on the pc monitor.
My thinking was could I slightly crop the Rx10 and get great pics and maybe the p950 with all its range is just going to look the same at 600mm as the fz330?
Might be my ability to use the camera but I find anything over 500mm on the fz can be a bit rough on all but sunny days.
Ofc I can fill the frame easier with the p950 and it will take shots the other two won't get.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I passed up on the RX even though it was £200 off on black friday.
Having been out a few times lately i find most of my photo's are at 1200mm using izoom and although pretty bad on anything other than a phone screen, its that or a picture of a bird that looks about a mile away :)
I thought i could get away with 600mm if it had better image quality but i just don't think i can.
So got the P950 in my amazon basket but also feeling out an online retailer that i've not dealt with before and also weighing up using a voucher i have that will only be worth half as much because the p950 is a bit more at their store.
In short i'm getting the Nikon thanks to your videos on it.There just doesn't seem to be any other option besides carrying kit as heavy as a bag of sand lol.
@@letni9506 yes exactly. Kind of sad but at least 1 camera company is making super zooms.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I've messed about with a B500 before and while not as good as my camera the 40x zoom images are decent and better than my izoom ones by a mile. A bit hard to keep steady though especially with no evf.
So I imagine the p950 is a step or two up from that.
I have the p950, I struggle when trying to focus on small birds, I usually have it on spot focus. I bought a monopod thinking that would help. What would you recommend.
Sue, there is pre-focus, continuous focusing and a bunch or other options. There is a slight art to focus as I find it the most difficult thing to use on the P950/p1000 cameras. So if possible test the lighting conditions and parts of the bird. Mostly for contrast meaning you might not need spot focus. So depending on the bird, I look for black and white and small focus on that as the sensor pics that up. Or aim the small sensor right at the edge of the bird and background so the sensor picks up the contrast as well. It takes time and you will learn that in some instance just go to manual focus assist with bright red highlighting and use that wheel on the side to nail focus. Believe me many times you can manual focus pretty quick. Hope this helps. Might put out a generic video on tricks with auto focus. Thanks again.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE thank you
Which cameras were used for which photos at the end?
All have the same sensor so they are so close to each other it matters less than you would think.
Thanks for the video. Were the sample photos raw or jpegs?
Jpegs. I only shoot jpegs
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Thank you.

This video is super helpful. I'm confused between Canon Sx70hs vs Nikon P950. Please let me know which one is the best in terms of reach, picture color quality, and reliability. I'm interested in wildlife and bird photography as well as videos. I've a panasonic G9. Thinking whether should I wait for canon to launch their successor model to the sx70hs, or go grab the sx70hs or nikon p950. Please help me with your advice. Thanks 😊
You bet.. I will be putting out a quick video on this topic next week. It is really hard to answer. For me picture color quality and reliability is about the same.... There might be more things to consider after that.... Stay Tuned. ALso thanks for watching.....
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE thanks for the instant reply. I would wait. I currently have deal for a used Nikon P1000 for $630. A new Nikon P950 for $710, and a brand new Canon xs70hs for $630... I will wait for your video. That will help me with a decision..
The P950 IQ is far better thanks the sx70. I had the sx50 as well before. The p950 lens and sensor are simply better
@@shaolin95 Thank you. I have bought Nikon P950 and glad to know that. Enjoying every bit of it. Taking it for a wildlife tour tommorow. I've uploaded this video of mine of 950 czcams.com/video/W94boU91Qj8/video.html
@@anoops08 for reference I shoot pro with a canon R3 but I can enjoy what the p950 offers. Sadly many pros tend do be snobbish about such cameras but they can do things my pro bodies can't in some cases . Have fun!!
Hi, Love your review. If money is not an object, would you choose the P1000 or the P950 ?
I would go with the P1000 instead. A few reason I just noticed last week. First I think the image quality is slightly better. Also the zoom is a bit more. What I found out last week for at least me the Image Stabilize is better in the P1000 than the P950 for some reason. It might be because of the mass of the p1000 is bigger and more heavy that it allows for better hand holding at 2000mm.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Thanks so much for the reply! That helps considering the p950 has the 5.5 stops vs 5 for the p1000
@@MyBackyardScience you bet !
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Liked and subbed!
Very tempted recently to get a Sigma 150-600mm for my NEX 5N. My Plan A was... P950 or P1000. I actually got a Canon G3X thinking the 1" sensor would be way better. Nope. My wife does better with her SX730 at max zoom. Now trying to sell the G3. This video has been helpful. But how to decide between the two Nikons? Thanks, great video!
Thanks for watching. The p950s, P1000s take time. They are more difficult to use but when you get a handle on them they are remarkable. Best of luck getting 1 of the 2.
Hello, one last bit. That canon g3 600mm should be a good camera. I thought about buying one. Wow, make sure to double check your settings on that camera. I would be really surprised if it does not do well. That said it is only 600mm versus 3000mm of the p1000.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I tried everything I knew to do. A real photographer probably could do better. Both are 20mp, 600mm v. 960mm. Close and medium distance, low light... the G3x definitely better. Way out there the advantage is lost. I ordered a P1000 refurb by Nikon, 1/3 off! tonight.
If you were only going to buy the 1000 or the 950 which one would it be and why?
Stay tuned i an going to give a 5 minute video on that this week ! Short answer p1000
what mode are you shooting?
I a shooting in Aperature Priority for the most part. I have a listing of settings in another video if you are curious. Thanks for asking.
I would love to Go with the p1000 but it's huge can't able to decide right now.
Yes the pi50 is smaller as well with really close to performance a tough call for sure.
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?
In the USA it is $200.00 but I still prefer the P1000. I do have a video on which one to buy you might want to take a look at the video and see if it is worth the extra $300.00 to you. In my mind you can get just about everything you want out of the P950 as the p1000 maybe some small differences but that depends on what it is worth to you. Hope this helps some. Please check out the other video which one to buy ?
Hello Stafford, great insights. If you didn't have the P1000 already but had the P950, do you think you'd still get a P1000?
Very tough question. The p1000 in my mind is the better camera but at the cost of size and price. $1000 for the p1000 is not a bad deal but still very expensive. If money is no problem then yes I would get a p1000. If money is an issue and you really really want the p1000 consider selling the p950. Again it depends on what you need. I would say within 2000mm the cameras are very close so upgrade is not a big deal. If you want one camera that can do everything the extra 1000mm is helpful.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Thanks, actually I have neither Nikons (have a Sony RX10m3 that I bought at 50% discount) but am trying to see which of the two I should get. The RX10 has fantastic picture quality and 4K video but the lens can't get close enough to many of the bigger, shyer tropical birds where I live (Philippines). Given that I take pictures during my twice daily dog walks of 2 miles each, the extra weight of the P1000 is something I have to carefully consider. Thanks!
@@robbyvillabona That rx10m3 Is a good camera, also check out the better camera slings, or waist straps, they are a game changer for heavier cameras. They are expensive but make carrying the camera way easier. The camera sling looks like a padded seat belt, about $80, But works great for heavy camera and long walks.
For the newer shooters, just be aware that these smaller sensors come with image noise. Despite the amazing benefits of these super zooms, at the end of the day just be aware that you really are trading between awesome zoom and image quality. You get one or the other, not both, at least not at this price point. And Photoshop can't save every image, just be ready for that. I have an old Olympus e-1 (an old 5 megapixel camera from 2003) that still cranks out better images and at a third of the megapixels. Why? The Olympus has a bigger sensor with less pixels that aren't crammed into each other causing distortion and light bleed. Since I have no need to make large prints, I can still squeeze use out of that old camera. Can it zoom into a bird 4 miles away? No. But it wins in image quality. So just be aware.
Very true. But compared to years ago the equipment has come a long way. My noise at iso 400 is very close if not better than the Nikon d70.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE My fz300 and 2500 completely degrade after iso 400. Even iso 200 has noticeable noise. But I accept it considering the zoom I get. Photoshop can usually spackle some of the noise out. But you are correct, things have come a long way. It's cool to see.
Bro...which is the best buy? P950 or P1000...thanks
Not sure depends on your needs?? I have another video that breaks down which one to buy. Basically no matter what if you do not use the camera it’s not a good deal no matter the price ?
Thank you very much!
I really like the smaller body of the 950, but with my wildlife footage I'm all about how far I can push in. I really want to jump down the nostrils of that chickadee, so I'm thinking the 1000 might be my best option. I'm just chicken to spend the extra $200.
Yes the do feel like different cameras. Size vs focal length.
Greatly Appreciate This Most Excellent Review - btw' Your Tone and Cadence Is Very 'Intellect Complimentary' and Via' Very Clear Lightly Spoken Projections are Proof of Your 'Pro Wildlife Field Time!

Thanks for the information, I subscribe to your channel. Greetings and good week
Thanks for the sub!
The Catch-22 situation with cameras like these is that "in order to get good results you need to keep your ISO low, but that then forces the shutter speed to go down, which, unless you have an absolutely static bird (dead preferably!!!), is going to result in blurry pictures!! So take this advice with a pinch of salt! Unless you are shooting birds and wildlife under a very bright sun on a clear day, which is not encountered very often in real life, you would be disappointed with the final result!!
This is true, these point and shoot cameras do not focus fast enough or have the high ISO performance. of apsc or full frame. The trump card thou is that for compelling images you need alot of time with the subject and you need a camera with you at all times. It is no good if the 600m f4 is back in the car which, I have seen so many times. I rarely get good images of animals in split seconds. I usually have to be around them for multiple minutes and find the right composition to get an acceptable photo, thus fast shooting in my style shooting is not a requirements. Eye contact, angle, lighting all have to be there before I usually get a keeper and this all takes time.
@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE you are getting it all wrong, I'm afraid!! What i said about fast shutterspeed has nothing to do with fast shooting!!!
It is just that if you are shooting birds then unless you use a significantly higher shutter speed, your photos will come out blurry due to minute body movements of birds.
But in order to have that higher shutter speeds you need to raise your ISO, so as to balance the overall exposure and then you end up with grainy pictures!!!
That is what I meant when I said that it is indeed a Catch 22 situation!!
Toooo much words and nothing..sorry..
