Check out my FULL REVIEW of this camera here! th-cam.com/video/GTriM0c1Zsk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for that, I have the P1000 and limitations aside I love. In the right hands as you have shown it can take good pics.
Thank you both from England.I have this amazing camera myself, but the fact you show me your camera settings on screen has helped a beginner become more confident in exploring what his camera can actually do. Plus help with my creativity. Once again I thank you both for taking the time, being professional. . . . .and taking on the cold conditions 👍
Very informative, and an excellent way of explaining the finer details. I have seen your review of P1000 first and then decided to go back for this one. Thank you very much for the great review.
This is a great video because any fool can spend thousands and thousands of dollars on photographic equipment to get the desired effect. However for those of us not made of money having a generalist camera like the P 1000 ( I have the P900) but using that camera to its fullest potential is the trick. This “trick” however requires more photographic thinking and this video is actually expressing that idea. Of course you need to know the benefits and limitations of your equipment but then use that knowledge to take great photos. I too have taken lovely portraits with my P900 so it is possible to take great photos with more generalist equipment but it just requires a little more head work. Cheers
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Nice video! I just picked up the P900 and as I expected you can get good photos from a small sensor camera if you know what you are doing. It's good that the camera makers are still making cameras like this as a large part of the population (most people) are not willing to spend thousands on a full frame or crop frame DSLR or mirrorless camera.
Both of you are wonderful and work well together. Thanks for the helpful tips.
Bought one a year ago. It accompanies my D810 - the 810 for photography, the P1000 used for video. Can't believe to this day the stability when handheld.
I purchased this camera last June and there's a lot of options for background blur from manual focus to target focus and I make sure to have open aperture
I’ve loved your P1000 series of videos. When you do the slide show of examples it would help to see the unedited version as well as the final edited one. For those people who might want to use this who don’t have access to a program like Lightroom they might be disappointed by what they see in their view finder when reviewing their picture.
I’ve been a Canon user since 1983 and I’ve bought a P1000 which I use as my ‘holiday’ camera. It works very well and the video capability is excellent even when you shoot in HD rather than 4K.
This is true! This camera is the best choice for travel, but you shouldn't open the photos in a professional program. A great camera to quickly fill your photo album with 10x15 shots.
My question is a little different. Will the P1000 support using a Yongnuo 622n-tx to trigger off camera flash? Just curious. I shoot with really "old" technology, the Nikon D50 and the Nikon D300 and I can trigger off-camera flash using the Yongnuo 622n-tx along with the Nikon sb-600 flash and the Yongnuo 968 flash. Thanks! I really enjoy your in depth reviews!
I own a p900 and it's what I take to the beach. Terrible in low light but you can take some good shots. I also have Nikon D750 that I use for that. I can sit on the beach and get great boat shots and even what lures they are using.
Amazing video, do you think I could get the same effect with the P950?
While I am not keen on this for portrait there is another side to this coin. The smaller sensor with very long lens means it is more interesting for macro and general natural world subject matter from insects and flowers to birds and animals. The depth of field makes portraiture more difficult, but definitely makes wildlife easier. It is a camera I have on my to buy list. People who deride small sensor cameras are just demonstrating their inexperience. I shoot digital medium format but consider my GoPro’s a hugely valuable asset. There is no such thing as a bad format, just formats that are better suited to the needs of the situation. As someone who has lugged a 1Dx, 800 5.6, Gitzo Giant, and gimbal head up and down mountains I feel qualified to say that the little sensor on the P1000 is brilliant because of what the camera brings to the table in terms of capability in such a light weight package.
BTW. Raymond is one heck of a lucky guy, and I ain’t talking cameras here :)
Hey guys I just want to know that is P1000 delivering images decent enough to print posters 'cuz I would like to print some big size posters and some are saying that it isn't good enough for even shooting and I'm confused 'cuz a lot say it is a great cam and hobbyists and amateurs can use it to learn so please let me know your thoughts on this and I'm planning on buying one by this December so please do let me know that I can start saving if not I'll have to go searching for some other cameras
Great review, thank you!
THANK YOU JUST CONFIRMING ALL YOU SAID IS TRUE WITH MY P1000 AND AGAIN THANK YOU FOR GREAT REVIEW
Heya is your P1000 good enough for photography does it deliver decent images can those pics be printed for posters
Please let me know your thoughts on this
I own P1000 and very satisfied with that. You did that I have not got time to test, but it was a good video. Do you have tried external flash? I just bought the Godox Pro trigger and Manual TT600.
Hi! Very late but, is the Godox trigger working on the P1000?
Wonderful video. Thank u very much for your hard working. 😊
Thank you for your positivity and inspiration ❤
Is this a good for wedding video and still?
Photography is about problem solving, whether you have a full frame, crop sensor, or small sensor camera. The thinking photographer will find a way to make this bridge camera work for portraits. However, many (not all) buyers of bridge cameras such as the P1000 will not be experienced pros or amateurs and won't intuitively grasp the techniques you use (very long focal length and big separation from background, e.g.) . Thanks for taking the time on the P1000 when everyone else is doing videos on Sony autofocus.
Oh stop it with the "thinking photographer" blah blah. This is not a pro camera and is not meant for that. There are MANY things a pro camera with a good lens will be able to do that no amount of "thinking" can overcome. There is a usage for this and I own for those moments but let's not go into absurd comments
shaolin95 Lighten up man
Nice video as always! However, I feel that in this time of merciless war between dslrs and mirrorless cameras, this type of products have to have a very specific market...
I have been using this camera for now like 2 months. It does Bokeh if the subject is close or if you can zoom to fill the sensor with the subject. Again, a little saturation needs to be added in post processing to get some colors. 400 ISO max. The noise comes in at 800 ISO. Below 1200 mm, it is decent handheld with practice. Overall, it is a very good companion for hobbyists.
Panasonic FZ80 or Sony RX10 IV is better, yet smaller and lighter
Hi, I have been messing with the P1000 for a couple of months and so far I'm very happy with the results except my portraits, I just cannot get them right, I have two questions, did you shoot these under Manual mode?, and also how do you get the ISO in 160/180/ are these options for ISO only when you're shooting RAW? because I shoot only in JPEG and I only get 100, 200, 400 and so on in the ISO. Hope you can help me with this.
set it to M with auto iso...
The photos are clearly o.k, can you do a video using the P1000 with Godox TT685N Speedlight, Thanks.
Most enjoyable and informative
Please make a video on nikon p900 how to shoot portraits photos from this camera
Excellent review to prove the worthiness of P1000. It’s a great camera. Period. I love the camera and love the review. You have taken lot of effort to prove the cam’s worth.. well done
Just like to point out that the extra zoom range, can be used to get close to birds and other animals, like the rabbit. While the hand holding issue is still there, while zoomed in, atmospheric distortion is not an issue.
Thank you for a thorough review, especially talking about what it's good and bad _for_ (and not just whether it's good or bad).
I understand you only had it for a short time, but did you experience any problems with overheating? I video wildlife in Florida, so I'm frequently out in 90 degree weather taking extended video clips. (For comparison, I tried a sony a6300 and had shutdowns from temperature when it was in the 80s, and decided not to keep it.) Thanks for any advice.
If you use it now, How is it image quality doing now ?
What camera did you use for this video?
I was taught that "the best camera is the camera you have with you." I miss a lot of shots because I don't have the right gear with me, or I do but the lens change would take too long. Cameras like this fill that gap. If you consider how good phone cameras can be, the small sensor is not necessarily a problem. When they make a camera like this with a more modern phone sensor it will be a huge step up.
Thanks for your valuable review on Nikon P1000
Interesting. The P600 or 500 series would probably do as well.
Raymond’s a lad
Hi I'm Scott and I'm new for using p1000 and I need your help
I wish they would combine the lens with a new higher mp sensor.
I own this camera and as you said, one can take variety of photos successfully and it is actually an extraordinary camera, people dread to admit.
Very good to learn photography and extremely good tool in the hands of those who know photography.
hey thanks 🙂🙂
This is a good video on p1000...
Fun video, something different.
I'm glad you like it!
Great vid! I agree with some of the comments; You two are awesome working together. Personally, I don't think this camera is in the scope of any of your audience (same with Fro, Matt, Tony, Lee n Patrick, etc). I may be mistaken but people that follows these wonderful channels are enough into photography to avoid this oversimplified package from Nikon. What do you think? Cheers!
This is a common misconception. I can't speak for the other channels but while I do have a great many advanced photographers as viewers, at least an equal amount of my viewers are actually beginner photographers, many of whom only use their phone or an entry-level DSLR. In fact, one of my most-watched videos is my review of the Canon Rebel SL2/200D!
@@LeighAndRaymond alright!
@@LeighAndRaymond Year late but i'm a beginner and have no interest in buying a high end camera. Just can't justify the cost and as a keen walker/animal photographer don't want the weight. I'm glad this channel is for me too.
Love this camera. I hope I can afford it as soon as possible
Dont do it. Wait at least for a "new" model, but the outdated technology in the P1000 is not worth it anymore (it barely was at release....)
Excellent video, but why do you always bring it closer to you?
... so far so good. but no option for me, I don‘t like the look of the bokeh, the pictures seems to be not very sharp. and the zoom is slow as it could be, no way ... but thx for the review. 👍🏻
price is too high!crazy as heck zoom but not much else!using D750 for pix and buying m43 for 4K video!Nikon video settings are not enough!not even the D500 vid settings!
bernhardtsen74 ... your right!
Guys, with this point and shoot cameras one can not afford to think as a regular photographer. If you want nice bokeh you might have to set the camera for macro photography instead of a portrait setting or else. You might also have to adjust the exposure compensation. Yes-they are called ''point and shoot'' but there is also a software which you need to communicate with and make it work in your favour. I personally am a bit dissapointed with Nikon's creativity options, Nikons are a bit stiff in that regard, but apart from that they could poduce nice, sharp, professionally looking images which I didn't see in your examples. For about 10 years since 2007 I was unable to afford expensive gear and used point and shoot cameras on regular bases-and I shoot a lot. There has always been that use- how to overcome the limitations in order to satisfy my phoitographic needs. My most expensive camera is Sony a6300 which I use ocasionaly because it is too expensive to risc it walkig around with it all the time.
Of course one works with what one has. I have the D7200 and D5500 so I can have two different lens ready to go. I’m an old fart (70) and I remember using crappy Instamatic film cameras and if one ones wants to talk about a limit camera that is the one, because it had no focus, terrible blur and no bokeh at all. As an all-around camera, I see nothing wrong with the P1000, just the people that have limited thinking and imagination on how to use the tool. Also, so many are just so damn spoiled. Thinking about the Z7 one day.
Goodness we ARE spoiled today, aren't we? Cameras have come such a long way in a short period of time!
@TheSnapChick My first real 35mm camera was a Canon Pellex with a 1.4 50mm lens. I took a lot of slides of loading B52s with bomb for the Vietnam War, 1970-71. I'm glad I used mostly slides, they scanned well and they look like I just took them.
Can i buy this camera,,whats your opinion??
Love you
Mam I'am your big FAN from India
Even my phone camera sensor is bigger ...but the zoom...damn that zoom...
♥️
👍👍
I rarely have a need or desire to shoot beyond 200mm
And I have taken enough pics of the moon lol
And I'm usually too lazy to do a tripod setup... if I can't get a shot handheld, I lose interest in the shot quickly
You always look like model material :)
👍👍👍❤️
This p1000 is easy lightweight camera
Spent more than 4 decades as a full-time shooter and never, ever heard the term Bokeh once. Is it an American thing?
not much tech info,should have more samples of bokeh n data.
thanks though.
No matter how giant is the zoom but we can't deny the fact that it is a point and shoot camera which means it can't win against DSLR when it comes to Portrait photography.
Its not Booka. Its Bokeh. bo-keyh
Звук выключите...и посмотрите...о чем кино...😢😮😅😊😂
Why does Raymond polluting this video, while sitting dead weight on Leigh shoulders and interrupting the workflow?
Talking too much. And there is no results.
Hmm you said you were going to stay at a normal portrait zoom range (85mm to 200 mm ) but yet you didnt and shot at 600-1000mm which limited the f/stop available to get a wider aperture and shallower Depth of Field. BAD idea / bad review. stick with the plan!
I always find it's better to roll with the punches, especially when out with new gear and in nature. Luckily, there are no rules so we can all do what works best for us! :)
almost for half the video you have shown only one photo.
Very badly made.
Very bad camera quality... far far from a reflex/mirrorless quality.
Sad jawline
For sure they’re getting paid by Nikon to promote this camera and make it look good. I’ve used this shit camera for 2 months and it’s an absolute piece of garbage.
Image quality is terrible. Not a professional camera. Would not buy. A bigger sensor would help.
LOL. If you knew how to shoot, you'd think differently. Good photographers can do good work with phones. The P1000 is basically a telescope with a camera attached. It can do some interesting work if an interesting person is shooting with it.
You must have thousands to spend. They made it affordable. A larger sensor would have turned this camera into a thousands of dollars and a lot larger.
@@robertbrody4032 Agree.
@@luvpamelanewton The small sensor is the reason why it has the magnification. Larger sensor means less crop ratio and less magnification, not to mention a camera you wouldn't want to carry.
@@robertbrody4032 not many people know that fact though.... And just cry about the small sensor 😭😭😭
👍👍
