Mr Simmons, Such a good and thorough review. I was looking for comparison between these 2 camera, though my concern is more to do with the big difference in size than the cost. I plan to watch to a couple more times to have everything sink in, but want to express my great appreciation first. Also your style is very genuine / authentic and I really appreciate that as well. Really looking forward to more videos from you . Again, thanks so much.

This was a very helpful video for someone in the market for a camera. Thanks Dale!

Thank you sir for your time you took on this video , this is the real review and comparison , I ever seen . thanks for professional.

Many thanks, Dale. You have such an affable, cheerful. warm character and a wonderful presentation style. I've been happily using the P900 since 2017 as I was mainly using it for stills. Now I want to start doing videography. so the P1000 seems more versatile as it shoots in 4K but crucially also has an auxiliary microphone input. It also has the benefit of a hot-shoe mount for flash or other attachments. I didn't like the idea of the offset Whitworth screw mount on my P900 but it hasn't proven to be an issue as I use it with Manfrotto QR plates. It's a pity the IR remote for the Nikon P900 can't be used with the P1000, and it now requires a separate transmitter and receiver attachment: that is a retrograde step. The battery system has changed too: the P900 uses EN-EL23 that is good for 360 stills, whereas the P1000 uses EN-EL20a which is only good for 250 shots. Both batteries offer around 1 hour 20 minutes video recording in the respective cameras. It is though disappointing that each video session is limited to 30 minutes on the P1000. Maybe Nikon will rectify this on the successor, as the P1000 has been around for almost three years now. Maybe they should also look at a decently sized image sensor instead of the 1/2.3"

I have disabilities, which made it increasingly difficult for me to use and carry around my Pentax K200D and lenses, etc. I bought the P900 second-hand from a friend in 2017. Since having it, I've never used my Pentax. The P900 is lighter than the Pentax and its size sits well in the hand but just be warned, it's bulkier and heavier than most bridge cameras. The P1000 is bigger and heavier still.

@@johnmichaelrichards thanks. My friend eventually did choose the P900 and seems very happy with it. When I want a new bridge camera, I'm going to stick with another Panasonic one, as they are pretty good too and the ones I have my eye on have CMOS sensors now, plus good 4K video and frame capture and much more optical zoom then my 600mm on my Panasonic DMC-FZ45. I got a DSLR too, but I will always keep a bridge camera for its extra focal length and speed of getting it out and zoomed out when you're in a rush to capture something moving.

Good video keep them coming, finally a video with real sample pictures excellent

First off, Thank You for your service sir. Next, I appreciate the comparison between the P900 and P1000, as I was on the fence, but after watching your video, it helps me sway to the P1000. Thank you.

Very fair review! My first bridge camera was a Nikon L830 and although it has far fewer features I fell in love with it's simplicity and zoom. When the P900 was announced I knew I'd have to have one. 3 years in and no regrets! One has to take internet reviews with a grain of salt but I have to say you did fine job.

If you kayak, you own a P1000, and you haven't tried to measure the point of curvature of earth/boats go over horizon, with blind eye vs bringing them back multiple times with the cameras? You are either a flat earther, or a gatekeeper...Or MISSING OUT on the reality of what you can PROVE for yourself. Mr. D knows this, and he uses military measures, like an angle finder to measure distance and that cannot work with R value, it has to be 90degree angle. This is actually very decent review of the cameras. But the main purpose of these are the max zoom, and they both seem to do a good job. If you use this for multi use...He is absolutely right, the P1000 would be worth the difference. If just using it for the zoom, and seeing atmospheric conditions far out, and doing some moon shooting, just get the P900

May God bless. you are a treasure to humanity.

I have the P900 for something like 4 years now. I shot just more than 33,000 pictures with so far and no, zero problems. Mostly birding and other wildlife photos. I still love it with it's shortcomings and all. If the P1000 "Birdwatching" setting is at all like that of the P900, I will ignore it completely. I might do centre light sampling but not centre focusing, and for small birds sitting in-between branches on the other side of a tree or other obstacle, it struggle to focus on that small bird. I mainly use "P" - Programmed Auto where you pre-program the settings where you would if you used manual and that works for me. That is what "Birdwatching" setting is, but with my own priorities. Try it, is works. In difficult situations where "P" does not work well, I would change to some manual or other setting according to the situation.

Since Nikon did incorporate the lens hood and 77mm filter ability on the P1000. If you don’t have the P900 already, I would recommend highly the P1000 as the improvements made far out shine the P900.

A rubber lens hood can be got on e bay for about a £5 and works well

Hi Mr D, Thank your for your great video. I already own a P900 and was considering upgrading. There is something entrancing about a new camera! but watching your very detailed and practical video made me think that, at least in the first instance, I will work on improving my range of skills, technique and speed with the P900. I wonder if you might be able to give me any pointers on a particular area or skill that I struggle with. I mainly do bird photography. Often I can see the bird without the camera, then I can see it in wide screen but when I go to zoom in, I kind of lose it, and have to zoom out again to find it, of course this takes a lot of time and the bird may have gone. I usually use the viewfinder, but am going to experiment with the screen. Im worried that if I got a camera with a longer lens, this may be more of a problem. Any suggestions or comments?

jenny Hartman That is a standard problem using a big lens. Use the snap zoom switch on the side of the lens. That is what I do when i loose a subject and it works well. Be it understood, the P900 performs horrible for any in flight shots.

In case anyone is still having this issue, the snap zoom button is definitely useful for this. Practice is also useful. What I usually do is start out at 1/2 or 1/4 of the way zoomed in, so that what my left (naked eye) sees is similar to what the right eye sees. This makes it very easy to interpret where the subject is in the image in the viewfinder. Maybe this is just practice, having used high-powered zoom compact cameras for almost 20 years, but I often (about half the time) find that I can be fully zoomed in and find a bird, so long as *both* my eyes are open. I'm not sure how this helps, I guess my brain is doing something subconsciously that helps me locate it. (It might help to try using a monocular for practice, as then you're practicing the skill without being limited by the camera's viewfinder resolution.) If the bird is moving a lot though, I can't keep up, and generally lean on the snap zoom function a lot. However, for the P900 (and most of the older super-zooms I've tried), poor focusing on birds in flight is a huge problem. I probably don't need to say it, but evidently, you're not going to find the bird if the picture is so blurry that the bird is gone. Unfortunately, if the sky is clear, its not always obvious if the focus is correct or not. I find the solution is almost always to zoom out, refocus, zoom in, focus, shoot. And yes, this almost always results in the bird getting away! (Though useful if something is circling.) My go-to method for birds in flight is actually to zoom out slightly. Much easier even at 75% zoom, because the autofocus is much worse at full zoom. But as Mr. D, says, the camera certainly isn't optimal for flying birds. (Being unable to resist the urge to go to 100% zoom is my number one demon right now.) One big reason I'm looking to get a P1000 is the manual focus ring, so I can leverage big zoom without losing the majority of my pictures to the somewhat disappointing full-zoom autofocus.

at what distance can you zoom with those cameras?

900 is 2000mm optical zoom 1000 is 3000mm optical zoom. You can go further but image quality suffers.

Thanks for the video, but isn't it available to put a filter on 900?

I used to have a Nikon P100 with 600mm lens, great camera. If I was shopping for a fixed lens camera it would be the Nikon P950.

I agree. The P1000 is really too big for what I use it for.
