I like to zoom it, zoom it... with my Nikon COOLPIX P1000 125x zoom camera. I used to zoom it, zoom it with my Nikon COOLPIX P900 83x zoom camera. And before that, I would zoom it, zoom it with my Fuji S9400X 50x zoom camera. My RU-vid channel is all about the joy of traveling with a zoom camera and learning things along the way. So... if you like to zoom it, zoom it... then check out the videos on my channel!
While I own a Nikon P-1000, I disappointed myself when I traded my Nikon P-950 in for the P-1000 last year. The 950 was lighter and less of an issue for me when zoomed at it's full length although the zoom capibility was 2000mm. Interestingly I dod not see that much of a difference between 2000 mm and 3000 mm. Don't get me wrong....I'm not complaining (well...maybe I am) a little bit) however after seeing your photos and impressed with them I just need to hold my camera steadier at full zoom even though I use a monopole. Great videos.
Yes, the P1000 is for sure a handful! Most of my photos and videos at full zoom are on a heavy, solid tripod. My hand held shots can be pretty shaky! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I use an older Fancier FC-02H tripod with a fluid video head. I made a custom tripod mount that shifts the P1000 back a little so the camera's center of gravity while zoomed in is over the center of the tripod. I also use a FEELWORLD T7 Plus 7" external monitor to help see exactly what is in focus.
Switching to the moon setting with autofocus on should be all you need to do. Sometimes, when you zoon in really close to certain areas of the moon, there isn't enough contrast so the camera can't focus. You can try to pan to a different area of the moon and press the shutter button half way down to see if that will allow the camera to autofocus. If it does then switch to manual focus to lock in that focus. Repeat those steps if you change the focal length. I hope that helps!
Great video. I had the p900 for a while but it got just too bulky and unwieldy to carry around everywhere. Settled for a canon sx70 instead with a 65x optical zoom.
Nikon is still selling the P950, which can zoom up to 2000mm (35mm equivalent) and is smaller and lighter than the P1000. But the question is will Nikon come out with a new version of the P1000?
I'm glad of that photo camera despite its flaws. It is versatile ;) Nikon Coolpix P1000 can really be a decisive advantage thanks to its super zoom (1000-1300 mm). But during planespotting, functions were unresponsive while the camera was still on. I had to take out the battery and put it back. So an issue we do not have with a DSLR camera. When you zoom to 200 mm for instance, the camera automatically zooms back to 24 mm a few minutes later. What I recommend for others is to be near runways and to get a clear vision, also to be prepared when an aircraft is about to takeoff. Cause if you are standing behind a hill and an airplane suddenly appears, you completely missed it if you are equipped with a Coolpix P1000. So I take a photo, I turn it off as the Nikon Coolpix can only take 250 photos. I turn on again.
I've not tried that, but there are some pictures on the internet of the International Space Station using the P1000. Seems rather difficult to get a good image though.
Tengo la p1000 y nunca es lo suficientemente nítida mi foto, en cambio con mis otras cámaras si consigo esa nitidez deseada...pero es una cámara que la disfruto.
Creo que las olas de calor y las partículas en el aire a grandes distancias también son factores. Normalmente puedo obtener una imagen nítida a 3000 mm si el sujeto no está demasiado lejos. ENGLISH: I think that heat waves and particulate matter in the air over great distances are factors too. I can usually get a sharp picture at 3000mm if the subject is not too far away.
Agreed, it's hard to find a place where heat waves and particulate matter are not a problem! Mornings are usually a good time of day. It's great to hear that you might pick-up the P1000 again!
I'm still using my old Fancier FC-02H tripod. I think that the key thing is to buy or make a plate/mount that shifts the camera's center of gravity over the center of the tripod head when it's significantly zoomed. The P1000 has vibration reduction, but super telephoto can be a challenge even with stabilization.
Hi! Are you enlarging the pictures in this video? If so then keep in mind that although the S9400W's pictures are 4608 x 3456, they are inside this older video which is only FHD resolution. So the pictures were essentially converted to 1920x1080 when the video was rendered. Pictures straight out of the S9400W would look better when enlarged. At least for a ten year old camera :)
Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback. These super telephoto cameras need a lot of light so probably not the best choice in lower light situations. I've not been on many dawn or dusk photo shoots, but now that you mention it, I think I'll try it!
1 x zoom 2000 miles or so. ? On Earth this camera can zoom in on a aeroplane 8 miles high and just about make out the writing on the plane.. 8 miles compared to 238,000 miles. What is going on ?
Nikon has discontinued the P1000 . I still have mine , and havd have captured amazing close ups of the luminaries. Stars 🌟 are multicoloured and move along their course. Jesus bless you, from Sydney Australia!
Hello from Arizona in the USA! Yes, the status of the P1000 is interesting. No announcement from Nikon, but all of the stores show them as out of stock. As of today the P1000 is listed as "on backorder" on the Nikon website and you can still place an order. Strange!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm always on the lookout for the Kalitta Ait 747s. They've been flying north of my area lately, but I'll post a video of the next one that I see!
Thank you, my friend, for this wonderful video. The question is: What camera did I use for the first time? I want to see the moon with that wonderful picture.❤❤
It's great to hear that you enjoyed the video! I used the Nikon COOLPIX P1000 camera which zooms up to 3000mm. Those cameras are hard to find these days, so you could also use the Nikon COOLPIX P950 which zooms up to 2000mm. I hope you enjoy viewing the moon!
Drücken Sie die Menütaste, gehen Sie zu den Kameraeinstellungen (Schraubenschlüsselsymbol auf der linken Seite), wählen Sie dann „Digitalzoom“ (auf der rechten Seite) und stellen Sie ihn auf „Ein“. Jetzt zoomt die Kamera auf 3000 mm und nach einer kurzen Pause auf 12000 mm (4,0-fache digitale Vergrößerung). Ich hoffe das hilft! In Englidh: Hello, how can I activate the digital zoom 12000mm? Does this happen automatically? Greetings from Germany >>>> Press the Menu button, go into camera settings (wrench icon on the left side), then choose Digital Zoom (on the right side) and set it to On. Now the camera will zoom to 3000mm and after a short pause it will zoom up to 12000mm (4.0X digital magnification). I hope this helps!
Hello and thanks for the feedback! It was pretty dark and cloudy that day, so I think I made some adjustments to the video in post-production. Brightness and sharpness I think.
HI...I have the p1000 and plan to be center of the 4/8 Total Eclipse Path about 40 miles West of Austin, TX. I will be using the p1000 on a tripod and remote. What settings would you recommend? I just picked up the ICE 77mm ND100000 Optical Glass Filter Neutral Density 16.5 Stop ND 100000 77. I know I will need to remove that just prior to the Eclipse. But, want to practice between now and 4/8 with direct Sun images and needed a decent Solar Filter to protect the sensor.
Thats hilarious I just ordered the same exact solar filter and probably the same remote you have off of Amazon. Will be in San Antonio for the eclipse. Have you been able to test the filter? Is it good quality and works well? Just want to make sure its not awful quality as the review images weren't much help. It's arriving in a few days for me.
@@-Burb I took a image of the Sun mid-day handheld and wow...not bad at all! I was lazy and screwed on top of my clear filter (I use it to just keep the lens clean/protected) and that rendered a duplicate image. Took off the clear and mounted the ICE and nice image HANDHELD! With a tripod and remote will only be better. Don't miss the Riverwalk in San Antonio...lovely area!
@@alkraus8818 Awesome, thanks for the reply! Glad to hear the filter works well! Will definitely be doing the riverwalk, havent been to San Antonio in almost 20 years but remember it being a really cool city. Thanks again!
With the P1000, the sun can fill the frame, so during the partial portion of the eclipse, I've taken most photos in full auto. When the sun is mostly eclipsed or I back off on the focal length then I just adjust the exposure down in exposure compensation. I posted an article on my website with my thoughts. As for the total eclipse, I'll have to let you know about settings after April 8th as that will be my first experience! What settings are you using as you practice?
we can zoom very long but there is no clarity . how much distance can we focus with nikon coolpix 1000? here 9th video you shoot a deer with focus and clarity but what is the distance? please reply me
Hello! The lack of sharpness when photographing at a distance mostly depends on how much atmosphere we're looking through, how much particulate matter is suspended in it and how many heat waves are moving through it. These will all affect and/or distort the light moving through the atmosphere on it's way to the camera's lens. That applies to the P1000 and other high telephoto lenses. Good question though. Maybe I'll do a test of the same subject from different distances to provide some example answers to your question.

I use a solar filter from Thousand Oaks Optical. I bought it on their website - thousandoaksoptical.com. But I checked today and these filters are currently out of stock :(
Yes! There is tons of proof earth is a flat plane except for mountains and valleys. There are laser test ect.. that prove so. Type in on YT, "Canada Laser Test Proves the Earth is Flat"
U can debunk the globe with such lens ,,, get the curvature equation of the earth ,, then find a real flat surface , 8’ per mile squared And you’ll find stars are wheels which only twinkle and distorted because of the water above ,, they ain’t light years away ,, God made them too
@@OneLensTwo I'm going to get one for my birthday soon, very excited! It sure is a legendary camera for plane spotting. But the bad thing is that I don't live in LA anymore, and I'm too young to travel
Enjoyable test, I liked it. It is almost the same as the P950, 2000 and 3000 mm do not seem to be noticeable at all. In general use, the P950 may take the lead.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, my thought is that if size and price are the priority then choose the P950 and if having as much reach as possible is the priority then choose the P1000. Both are excellent super zoom cameras!
I've used the P1000 for basic outdoor sports photography and it worked fine for a point-and-shoot camera. I should note that it is a large camera . The P1000 is a maniacal zoom machine, so it excels when the sports action is far enough away that other cameras cannot frame the shot that you want.
I have owned this camera for a year. I appreciate the effort you put into making this camera look so good. Its lack of digital stabilaization is why I never use mine.
Thanks for the feedback! I know what you mean about stabilization. Even when Vibration Reduction is available (for still photos and FHD/1080p videos), you can sometimes still get shaky results. The massive 3000mm zoom is a monster to control! I use my heavy duty tripod all the time and I sometimes apply digital stabilization in post-production. Especially with UHD/4K videos because VR is not available. I think encasing the camera in concrete would also help :)
Agreed, the zoom lens on the P1000 is amazing! Can you imagine carrying around all of the lenses required to cover the zoom range of the P1000? That would be a lot!
