Which should you buy, the Nikon P1000 or the Nikon P950? Both are great superzoom bridge cameras but is the extra zoom of the Nikon P1000 worth its extra size and weight? Let's find out!
#MrZoom #Nikon #P1000
It looks to me you are recording on the p1000 and just zooming in and out to the same magnification as the p950. But I wanna see 2 separate videos for video quality (side by side).
Yes, absolutely idiotic.
but its filmed with the same camera. so its not accurate. just saying.
What is SIDE?
Hello, I have a question for you. I have the Nikon P950. Last night I got some great pics of the moon. Both in moon mode and in Manual mode. The question I have for you is when I am in manual mode and switch to manual focus, I am unable to change the aperture and the shutter speed unless I switch back to auto focus. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way the camera is. Thank you Joe B. NJ
It would be better to zoom in on a bird or something at a closer distance. The further you look the less impressive. You have to draw a line. Otherwise you may aswell say why get the p950 when it only reaches 560mm more than the B700. When you are trying to fill the frame and you maybe use a slight bit of cropping that extra 1000mm can be huge.
Was deciding between these two and after seeing this, definitely getting the 950. Thanks.
Thx. I agree. For the difference in weight, if nothing else, the difference in zoom isn’t worth it. Looking to buy one of the two and you just convinced me. 👍🏻
Thank you this is an excellent idea for a comparation!
Thanks for this video, saved me some money. I have a question though, i have no clue about cameras and am only looking to invest to play around and have fun. Can i for example buy the P950 and attach one of them x10 close up filters ? fair enough the image would probably be less smooth the SpongeBob's face but. it could work right ?
Bravo Olivia 🎉 I am from Venezuela and have listened to this song thousands of times. You have done a great job. 🥇🏆🤗
Thanks for this vid! Well done!
thank you so much , I was bummed I could not find a 1000 anywhere and felt like I was stuck buying the 950.
They sound heavy but I just put my Pentax K1 and Canon EOS Ra on the scale and they both weight over 2000g with lens on them that only reach 135mm... these Nikons are really amazing for the price and weight.. and Zoom
Both P1000 and P950 are essentially the same, except for the weight, size and zoom range. I got the P950 because it is slightly cheaper, easier to carry around and 2000mm is good enough for me.
Yeah honestly there isn't really much of a difference between 85 times zoom and 125 times zoom. I thought there would be a huge difference.
What about quality? Is the resolution the same?
@@gentlefierceness Same resolution. Image quality wise I can't tell the difference. Looks the same
And probably better image quality then the P1000 at 83x zoom, but ofcourse this video doesn't show that, its a misleading video and a straight lie, he didn't even show any P950 LOL
Great video and I'd like the P950, I have the P900, really like the video you made, thanks!
I would recommend getting the p1000 if you can afford it
Did you get around to comparing it with the Canon Sx70?
WoW! the transition from one cam to the other was flawless, as if it was the same cam😏
yup, that was really nice editing. big like
@@dragoda 🤔😏😁
He's most likely using a p1000 just zooming in and out to 2k to 3k mm
can you please tell me settings for dulistant zooming on P1000 as my images are blurry and objexts are not clear on distinct zooming
Did you do this with 2 seperate camera's?
I’ve found that P950 have grinding sound when long zooming. Is it functional mechanic or due to lenses problem??? As your experience could you show me?
Am prabu from India....thanks for excellent explained Brother.. GOD Bless you...
while watching this video , i noticed the heat waves with the indulating/wavering/rippling effect across the entire image when zoomed in. I wondered if they(nikon,canon ,whoever) could process the image to reduce or take that out completely by taking the 'average' of each pixel and keeping it on screen for longer. There could be different levels and options for applying the effect . There could one algorithm for static pixels(parts of the image which dont seem to move much, such as the vegetation/rocky background) and a separate algorithm for the parts of the image which are moving(such as the people ) . it might also produce a slightly sharper image, which could then be digitally zoomed in on . But that digital zoom would possibly , once again produce a slightly clearer and sharper image then the regular zoom which had no rippling-reduction applied. These algorithms would be different to any handshake reduction or stabilization algorithms because the particular optical 'distortion' they are processing is different
you cant remove atmosphere
I’m sure as processing power increases, some company will try. Not sure how successful they will be but would be a game changer.
This will only go away if the atmosphere is low moisture, and very clear, otherwise this is what all cameras will get with this magnification. There is no way to get ride of nature.
It's rhythmic and mostly transparent. But due to the waves or the rhythm should be filterable with learning based filters.
Wow, this really put it in perspective and helping me to decide on which purchase I want to make. I'm going to be shooting concerts but also stars, moon and Sun, will I want the P1000 for that little bit more zoom vs the size/weight when I'm shooting shows? I'm torn and still on the fence. I'll be filming the stars moon and sun more, hmm. Stuck. Any further recommendations or suggestions? Thanks!
He didn't show any shot of the p950 dude!! how can you think this video is usefull LOL
I feel glad that I went for the P1000, it makes ZOOM feel easy
Nice video 📹 thank you
Thank you, great video. 🤗👍 Do you have a photograph of the sun (photo or video) with a filter and how does it appear? with a filter, and how does it appear?
Great suggestion! I’ll have to try. Definitely want to use a filter!!!!
@@mrzoom6705 Yes, you have to get some solar filter, great for use to observe sunspots or just the sun, wich I hear you have a lot of in Australia. I bought a Thousand Oaks Optical for my P1000 and I personally love the orange color it get, you can see when I try it in one of my videos if you want. I love ZOOM videos! Keep on make them!
I may choose p950 as per you recommended.
very interesting; many thanks!
very interesting perspective, would've never known how big the p1000 vs the p950, that actually seems like a deal breaker
Hi, good video, thanks. What causes all that wobbling on the images in your video, as if the moving image is submerged in water. Just curious. I once saw the same when someone zoomed into the moon last year with a Nikon P900, and it looked like the moon was covered in water as well. What's it called and how do you stop it from wobbling? Thanks. Love from Scotland, X.
its the atmosphere, moving from heat, you cant remove it
The relative small difference what comes to max zoom level between P950 vs P1000 was kind of a surprise. Compare that to the difference of these two models, both price and physical size, P950 seems to be a better choice.
i agree
no man is not ok he lie on videos, he use only 1 camera, and talk about every other camera just by using more zoom, that is not ok, cameras have different quality even if they have same numbers, different processor and so one
@@ToniLixSim no, tengo ambas y es exactamente como dice el autor de este video.
On terrestrial targets MAYBE it doesn't matter if it's 3000 or 2000 mm. But check out those Astrophotos made with the P1000...! That's a huge difference! 🎉
Is the zoom noise edited in or is it really that loud?
I have been using the P950 for 9 months love it for wildlife 😊
great video 👍
Wow that zoom out, want 1
When I bought my P1000 I was comparing against the P900. I chose the P1000 for the external video input and the ability to shoot raw. The weight doesn't bother me. No regrets. Great to see that the P950 shoots raw.
Thanks for stopping by. I just watched your videos and subscribed! Do you mainly film handheld or on a tripod? With regards to the P1000 do you mean the HDMI output?
@@mrzoom6705 Sorry I meant external microphone input. Couldn't live without it. Ideally I would always shoot with a tripod but when I'm out on a hike and nature happens sometimes I don't have one handy. :)
I love zoom, but I'm surprised by a new situation comparing the P950 with a 90D + 250mm STM lens of course I don't have live range, but with the digital zoom I managed with the 90D to capture a bird in local msm, with superior quality. So I think why buy a P950 / P1000 if with a much better quality camera and an equivalent price I can get the same distance lens + digital zoom and higher quality, more color, sharpness and etc...?
What about sensor size?
I had a P1000 regret selling however thanks for the video
Suppose Nikon has 3000mm focal length .. so how I will know binocular have 3000 mm range. Do u have any idea about binocular maximum range? If so plz suggest a good binocular to buy. I love zooming
Binoculars are different. If you want to reach same magnify as P1000, you need a binoculars with around 40-45X magnify. But forget about zoom binoculars. The best choice for you would be a giant binoculars with changeable eyepiece or a telescope with bino viewer.
Like the way you describe 🙏👍
Iam on verge of a purchase to do some astrophotography. Is the P1000 noticeably better for the extra money,say with deep sky astrophotography?
I'm not a professional, and its been a long time. is you want to shot deep sky. P1000 is pretty good. it can shot Planets in the solar system, of course, the effect is not good。If you just want to shoot deep sky. maybe you should consider （freezing camera？）im not ture is that the name in english . like QHY533 。 almost same price. the professional for deep sky. There are color camera and black white camera, . The black white camera shooting details will be more clearer.
@@lx051225 thank you for the information 👍
So p950 is better And is it for daily photography like tours and travels ... birdies ,video shoot etc
After seeing this I would go to 950 too but I would like see comparaison on the moon and on mountain very far way not just one kilometer
The only difference between p1000 and p950 is that on the p1000 video you can see the details: ears, eyes, face shape, hairstyle. That is, a person can be recognized. On the video from the p950, all this is not.
I just bought a used NIkon P900 with 83x optical...very similar to the P950 but about $200 less on the used market.
Are you saying that both cameras are exactly the same except for the lens zooming capability? You are using a P1000. Would like to see comparisons of features. One may be better with low light than the other……and so on
However, with such close-ups, the image becomes increasingly blurry. Even when using only optical zoom.
On TEERESTRIAL TARGETS, MAYBE it doesn't matter if it's 3000 or 2000 mm. But check out those Astrophotos made with the P1000...! That's a huge difference! ❤
You'll do better by side-by-side viewing😢😮
Loved it
I'm more inclined to ask why the P1000 has the extra bulk? Better engineered? As for the difference - its exactly as expected 2000 vs 3000 mm.
The optical zoom is 6000mm
@@TheBraveheart550 It's 3000m 135mm equivalent.
@@killpop8255 125mm is 3000mm it extends to around 6000mm on digital x4
@@TheBraveheart550 You said optical was 6000mm
I have the Nikon B700 (1440mm max optical zoom) and when I saw comparisons between it and the P900 (2000mm max optical zoom), the extra zoom did not appear to be much better. The B700 can capture RAW images and record in 4K while the P900 can’t. Looking at this video, I think the B700 beats all of these others.
Thanks Lance. The B700 is a great camera and doesn’t get the attention it deserves! I’ll do a comparison video on it shortly.
While I like the image quality more on the b700, I absolutely hated the fact that at close to Max zoom the frame im trying to capture/record would wobble like crazy
I have the B700 as well and I agree, great little camera. Has it's faults but on the other hand I have taken some nice photos and videos with it. Nikon gave it a short lifespan and seems to have replaced it with the P950. The 950 isn't so much a downgraded P1000 as it is a beefed up B700.
Well the P1000 can record in 4k.
@@Marco-rz5kl correct, as can the p950 lol
hiciste la prueba con una misma cámara lo que es absurdo, debiste probar si la calidad de imagen varia ya que es una actualización en lo que se entiende.
You could recognize the faces with the Nikon P1000, but not with the Nikon P950.
The only drawback i see to the P1000 is the weight when handheld on zooming.
Well maximum zoom of P1000 v P950 when you rationalise it is only a half more isnt it? I reckon i could live without that extra half.
Would you rather have 15cm or 22.5cm?
For something that has 40x more zoom the difference is barely noticeable
I think it makes a big difference .. I’ll take the p1000
is P950 good for shooting night sky, stars and so on?
Not rly
Why not?
@@yankyruss7246 bad vision at night
@@HardStyleFraKKeR lol good point. What about the fz2500? I might look into that as my second bridge superzoom lol
@@yankyruss7246 i dont know, i have p950 and im pretty happy with it, just a bad camera for night shoots
No not that much ....I've the P1000.great cameras . P I work it's wonderful.
For $200 more you might as well get the 950 not big enough of a difference depends if you have an extra $200 to waste on the upgrade
I still rate the Panasonic BC-v250 it’s epic
I feel like if you were taking pictures of say, a bird in a tree, there would be a bigger difference than there is with a wider "subject" like this.
Can someone please help me with issues I'm having tripod or handheld my p950 doesn't always auto focus, I've tried different modes and settings. What should I have the focal point on?
I find Nikon’s autofocus not as good as Canon esp in low light at long focal distances. The more light and more contrast the better. Is it happening in all condition eg all focal lengths, all lighting conditions?
@@mrzoom6705 yes it seems be all light and focal length.
Ok - best take it into your local camera store and have them assess - there may be a fault.
From what I gather the P1000 has amuch better detail quality on low light at a distance, I don;t know about the p950.
its a misleading using focal length as a measure. Since sensor size have equal importance. 24 mp Apsc to a 45 mp 5 pixel CMOS have 8 times more zoom. Focal lenght are per definition the lenght of lense. Clearly it is not 3000 mm!!! Objective enlarging are not the same as the focal length. Since it also majorly have lesser light and a lesser quality than a true focal lenght lense. Since it only uses a fraction of the focal view. Although that is commonly used but it is actually wrong.
All filmed with the P1000? Why not compare to a real P950, it's newer so maybe the sensor is better, the zooming might be smoother, etc. This is 10% of a real comparison just looking at the zoom range...thats all.
1kg?
P1000 the best!
👍👍
The P1000: "The Sasquatch Cam"
I don't know, why this product not available in india
Which one should I go for? Any suggestions? P950 or p1000?
P950
Too much mirage on p1000
Why wouldn’t you include digital zoom? Ridiculous not to.
Both great. Difference not significant.
لا يوجد إختلاف كبير في الصورة أين إذن الفرق بين125× و 83. عجب
U forgot about the sensor. P950 sensor is better
for whom the bell tolls! 1000 for me
Show 👏 !!! I find it strange that 83 x 125 in practice doesn't make the expected difference! Should Nikon be lying about this larger zoom on the P1000 !
Yeah it’s super confusing. The Nikon P1000 has a 24-3000mm lens. The way all manufacturers calculate it is 3000 / 24 = 125. Similarly the Nikon P950 has a 24-2000mm lens. So 2000 / 24 = 83. Hope I explained it OK.
@@mrzoom6705, I understand, the opinion of a layman, lol... is by the numbers I imagined, wow... 83 x 125... wow! Thanks for the videos, they helped me a lot!
@@rui7773 Yes I completely agree. You would expect a camera with a 20x zoom to give twice the magnification as a 10x zoom camera but unfortunately it’s not that simple.
@@mrzoom6705, That's right, but unfortunately it's not like that, lol... I've been with the 90D for a few days and I compared it to the P950 this week I'm going to buy the P1000 and decide which one to stay, it will probably be the 90D with Tamron 400mm + digital zoom surprised me in the photos (90D) in the final result compared to super zoom.
@@rui7773 nice - what you like filming?
I'd say it is a difference if you wanna film a UFO in all of its glory
like tbh, both have similar specs just zoom wise its different.. it would make sense for the margin of price if the nikon p1000 had a more dot Electronic viewfinder more than p950 or focal length wide is more than 24.. but ig zoom it is
I don’t want to climb that trail. I would be trail fodder.
why has nikon made the p1000, when the p950 does the same job, the p1000 is heavy-er , twice the size , twice the cost , has 40x more zoom, but according to your video there is not much difference in zoom power.
950 is 2 years later model, with improved Vibration Reduction. Optics is different though. From what I've seen P1000 still might be clearer
P1000 is better im using it
Impossible that the P1000 has x42 more optical zoom..than the P950..
It's 1.5x more zoom than P950.
seems not worth to pay extra 100 bucks to purchase p1000😢

Toys with a big zoom, though i except you can get good images but the af is shite and atmospheric interference stops any good images at the long end, crap sensors for anything in low light or that moves
yeye let everybody who wants big zoom buy 3 grand lenses and a ~500$ body. Dont mind that it all weights 4 kilo and looks like a rocket launcher
@@ironman8257 Nope you can get far better quality 600mm lenses for the same price as a p900 or a little more and cheap bodies with far superior sensors but i guess if you don't know much about photography because your about 12 you'll think like you🙄

that 85x optic zoom look worse than the 20x optical zoom of my old made in japan sony hx200 :)) what a piece of uselesness

You make no sense because you film it from the same camera😂
Between them a small difference.. but the price .... 😤😤😤😤
