B700 shoots raw you probably didn’t mention

Great Video - thank-you. I may be able to contribute here as my wife and I have just spent 3 months birding in Singapore using both of these cameras on a daily basis. I use the P900 and she uses the B700, so we have many instances of near identical shots taken with these cameras, and often at maximum zoom. My conclusion, after studying these, is that the B700 has a very slight edge in image quality, on account of the BSI-CMOS sensor. It is only slight, but this and the 20 MP (versus 16) enables cropping to the same zoom level as the P900, with approximately equivalent final results. However, as you point out, the build quality and ease of zooming are considerably better in the P900. Both of these cameras are awesome though. The image stabilisation capability of both is truly remarkable, enabling steady shots at maximum zoom. I even have centred hand-held shots that are not blurred by movement way into the digital zoom range, although when you leave the optical zoom domain into the digital one, the image begins to deteriorate, as you would expect. One thing that you didn't mention was the 'burst' capability of each camera. The P900 wins here with 7 shots/second, vs 5 for the B700. If anyone intends to use this feature (highly recommended for birding or sport at maximum zoom), one big negative of both of these cameras is the almost non-existent buffer, so that the camera is inoperable for several seconds whilst the 'burst' images are written to the card. That is one big difference from a DLSR, although no DSLR can come anywhere close to the image that can be produced by either of these cameras at maximum optical zoom, in good light. In poor light it's a different story. Both the P900 and B700 can have problems focusing in poor light and the image from both tends to deteriorate due to noise from the high ISO that the small sensor requires. The larger aperture of the P900 doesn't help much in this regard, as it only applies at the short end of the zoom, so the two cameras are fairly equal in that regard. Weight and size-wise, the B700 wins hands down. It packs approximately equivalent capability into a much smaller lighter package. If you want a hugely capable camera light enough to throw in a rucsack just in case you need it, get the B700. If you want to shoot all day with a camera that has a really professional feel and is a sheer joy to use, need the continuous shooting rate, don't care about RAW or movies, then get the P900. Hope this helps someone.

Great review Have ordered a P900 so just cant wait to go out and take some decent wildlife shots. Thankyou for a great review and now feel pleased chose the P900.

I watched your video a few times to help me decide which camera to get for my son (I use the P950 myself). I ended up ordering both (used) and returned both due to the condition being much worse than the seller described. Here are my impressions, in case anyone is still interested in 2021! lol B700 seems to have a better build. The P900 had loose fittings, not sure if it's due to wear. But the flash, dials, wheels were all shaky and had some give. They both supposedly have the same quality of viewfinder but somehow the B700 one looked a little better. The P900 one wasn't a perfect rectangle; it was strangely curved. But neither of the viewfinders even come close to the amazing one on the P950. I love the size of the B700. It's so compact, and feels beautiful in the hand. And even fits in my pocket!! B700 button layout is also superior. Two Fn buttons instead of one. The P900 has a dedicated button for connecting to the phone. What a waste of real estate. The P900 pros are longer zoom (not that much longer in daily use, IMO, not worth making a decision just based on that), wider aperture (I think that is important) and a threaded lens. The B700 doesn't have a threaded lens for filters. You can buy an adapter though. I think the image quality and optical stabilization of the P900 is a little better. I didn't test extensively since mine arrived stinking of cigarette smoke. :/ All I know is that the low light photography is really bad on the B700, while it's great on the P950. If I had to choose one, it would be the B700.

Very helpful video and comments_ am considering the b700 for practicality, sharper images and price. Thanks for your help!

For a person who's more interested in astrophotography like me, I highly recommend the P900. I first bought the B700 and was pleasantly surprised with its zooming capabilities. Little did I know about the P900 at the time. After watching some P900 review videos, I got rid of the B700 and bought the P900. I know the B700 has RAW, 4K function and 20 MP, but I love my P900.

Thanks so much for the review! The best review of these cameras I've seen!

Thanks for your deep work and clear summary

Let me know which one you prefer - because choice of real winner in this comparison is UP TO YOU!

very good evaluation , thank you very much !!

Great video dude! Subscribed :)

Brilliant uncomplicated demo, found by accident, have now confirmed that the heavy P900 is my next choice... Thankyou

THANK YOU, or should I say "dziekuje"! I've been reading reviews all day, but this answered some questions that the others did not. Like: do you get better image quality with the B700 by giving up some of the zoom length? And yours is the first review to show side by side shots with the two cameras, which shows me that NO, the B700 does not produce sharper images, and in fact I preferred the brighter P900 shots in some cases. That helps me out so much. But also seeing the two cameras side by side helps put the size difference in perspective. I'm still a little torn and need to look into some other cameras, but the questions you answered here helped me out so much. Thanks again!

Thanks a lot for this review, it's very useful for me to decide which one. But, the P900 has GPS function will be added another credit.

Hi, a nice video. I have Nikon B-500 and I'm very happy with the camera.

Thank you. The video is very helpful 👍 Nice to meet you from Indonesia 🇮🇩

Awesome comparison! Thank you.

Thank you for the thumbs up of my comments to your video i’am always watch your video & i’am your a regular supporter subscribers & followers thank you very very much & god bless you

Didn't you forgot to mention the GPS in P900 ? I am using B700 and am pleased, even better if using monopod or tripod. The wifi and bluetooth is useful when photographing bird nests or other sensitive objects. Using an Ipad as remote control unit.

Hello I really like your video more power & god bless you

I really love your channel love from india😊

I have the P900. I use it for shooting birds using different settings in aperture mode , mostly using spot focus I get great pictures. I think it does a good job. Just take it out of Auto mode and learn about ISO , shutter speed and aperture settings. Sometimes I have to re- focus ( auto) but that's no big deal. The more I use it the more I like it. One more thing, most of the time I don't use the live view screen do every thing through the viewfinder even reviewing the pictures when I'm in the field. This saves on the battery and protected the screen.

I just got the b700 it's working good.

nice video thanks

I buy a photo camera to take photos, I wish they would just keep the two separate like it used to be, save me money on my hobby and makes what I use better at its purpose. Bugger 4k and all that malarkey. Does it take great photos of the moon? Great.

I have the b700 and so far it's not a bad camera! Aspecially the 4k quality and the biggest problems in the b700 is there is not movie manual mode, bad focus and iso range from 100 to 3200. But so far With its 60x zoom It's very good for its price !

Great Video Brother

Wonderful review. Can you do a comparision for Sony HX400V vs The Nikon P900. Which one you think is better cosidering 50x zoom is adequate for me. Also how much difference the backlit Sensors of P900 help in low light?

i've always heard anywhere that the B700 quality picture is a little bit better. I'd prefer to sacrifice a few zooming power to a better quality picture. Anyway we are atalking about a 1 2/3 sensor size, what's needed all that zoom?. Plus as already said one. RAW pictures are another featuer in it. I think that Nikon had preferred to sacrifice some zoom to a better quality picture and better videos. Build quality i've never had hands on p900 but i trust on you as you are not the first one saying it....b700 anyway is not that bad as build quality considering his weight and ingumbrance. maibe the p900 focus better and the 2.8 f helps a little little bit more but.....picture quality i think is a little bit better anyway on b700....If i do have to give a fair rate for them. is 55% to B700 vs 45% to P900. Both has pro and cons, but to be honest, sacrifice some zoom for more quality and features it is way more interesting, and cost a little bit less. From who has a P900 is not worth to upgrade to b700, but as you said, to wait another one! I give you a like anyway for the efforts, pics and tests done. ....I'm a b700 owner

This is one of my favourite video

Can please tell me what should I use to edit raw pictures coz my pc apps can't read the format even photo shop

B700 I am using since 1n half years..... Pretty good camera in video manual mode and special scene modes....... But disappointing in aperture control, setted limits are there

The difference in the zum is negligible... But the difference in price is significant. Tnx for that compare!

wow nice is the best comparison in the world

which one is better for macros (plastic aircraft scale models)?

I only have to say two bad things about the P900, it doesn't have manual settings for video and we can't adjust focus on the fly, like with Sony and Panasonic cameras. The lack of manual settings for video make it very hard to set a good indoor lighting.

Very good. Great work. Next time show how to blur the background.

Any news about the successor for the P900?

Is there any chance to my b700 everytime i switch it on says camera lens error it was accidentally droped at thesame time it was zoomed I need help please

Hi, can you tell me how to turn off audio recording when recording video? To the video was recorded without sound !!! Thank you so much.

Technically you could get "2880mm" out of the B700 when cropping that 4K video to 1080p (2x1440mm).

Nice and thank's,man !!!

Awesome video

i have b700 more options than p900 just p900 the more 20x zoom difference between them but the money is talking here :)

i own both cameras and wouldn't choose between them! p900 is noisy when zooming and auto focusing, and alot heavier especially when zoomed out completely. b700 is wifi and bluetooth and p900 is wifi only. both take very similar image and video and its actually hard to tell the difference between the 2.

I was looking for a Nikon superzoom for the eclipse to run video side-car to my Canon 400mm still camera. I seriously considered the P900 because *zoom* right? Then I read the specifications for its images. No rivals? Really? It shoots *jpg only* and no 4K. The B700 shoots RAW and 4k video and... seriously how can you say the P900 has no rivals? The *only* thing it has going for it is the increased zoom. RAW image quality will absolutely crush any jpg ever taken so... ?

Please do the review of P1100. The just released successor of P900

How long it can take video in b700?

cheers for this

Nice review! Would like a p900 for airplane contrail photography, since the zoom is just insane! I have a sigma 150-500mm for my Nikon, which i thought was cool. It probably works better in fast passed environments, but Iam missing the last range for contrail photography.

In 2018 model which canon dslr camera model is best under 50000rs with all future. Please tell me...

I have b700. Now I can say if you want zoom then obviously should go through p900. You will be satisfied. Otherwise go for DSLR. Its matter in iso, sensor and pic quality. But both camera nice unless you don't want to be go professionally. Low light pic in manual mode I'm not satisfied.

lot of work went into this video, and it has less than 200 likes. that sad

Punya saya tombol samping kanannya yg utk addjust brightness juga ga berfungsi. Ada cara utk perbaikinya?

I love videography I have p900 but you guys go with b700 bcoz it's provide you better photos then p900,p900 have only 1 advantage it's zoom but if saw both zoom difference is 10/9 very close b700

I have the B700. If you record in 4k and your just rendering to 1080p you can get an extra 2x zoom without loosing quality. Total zoom 120x. Plus if you crop a pic to the p900 size you get a little extra zoom. Its a nice camera. Might have to get the P1000 or whatever they will call it if its better.

Subscribed ! Good luck

chyba lepiej poczekać na następcę P900, oby miał RAW... w ogóle powinni zacząć wreszcie używać większych sensorów do tych megazoomów, 1/1.7" zrobiłby lepszą robotę, a skoro Nikon opatentował nowy obiektyw o jeszcze dłuższej ogniskowej niż w P900, to z większym sensorem współczynnik zoomu nie byłby aż tak drastycznie niższy...

B700 is 20MP so its actually 1800mm on P900 16MP

Please Compare Nikon b600 Vs Sony Hx400v

Really wanted the extra zoom but after testing 1440mm to 2000mm i thought i could probably live with 1440. Its not like 600 on my old camera to 1440, that's pretty big,like double the size on your lcd. Got some beans and tuna out of the cupboard that weighed almost the same as the p900 and decided on the spot to get the b700 instead :)

Had the P900 but its too heavy for fun and quick shots, need to find something else now.

Nikon b700 not available on online stores in India anymore.maybe Nikon is not making a lot of them anymore.maybe we will have an upgrade

.....molto chiaro...

can you do a test on the PASM modes please. I hear that you do not get LIVE VIEW in some of those modes. Basically you do not get to preview the changes (ISO; exposure etc) on the screen. is that true? I ask because I´m thinking of buying this camera but if those features do not work, then the camera is worthless.

When is the successor coming??

both B700 and P900 have the same image sensor 1 / 2.3-in.type, CMOS ?

I really wanted to buy the P900 but now I think I'll wait for its successor as I'm into astrophotography

Which one do you think it's better for wildlife photography? and for pictures at night? Than you!

which one support Mp4 video recording format nikon b700 or nikon p900?

P900 is the better photo camera, B700 is the better video camera. I would have liked to have heard how the microphones sounded on each of them. The reason I use a Sony HX300 instead of my Nikon P510 is the mic has too much hiss and the focus tracking is aweful, but I keep it around because it takes much sharper photos than the Sony. Nikon's ED glass is the best on consumer grade cameras.

ACE -REPORT -THKS

Nice bro 👌👌👏👏

Add canon sx60hs to this comparison if possible

I have Canon 600d Now I'm looking for zoom ability so can I get zoom lens to achieve this zoom or I have to buy b700

How to set maximum zoom range on b700

Is there any cameras which are about 100 - 200 Aus dollars more than the b700 which are better. Or is the B700 just one of the best buys on the market !

you didn't mention what the dimensions of the sensor are. How big is the sensor in each camera. Very important

If you were me, which one you'd prefer, buy this camera or a lens that can go to 100-400mm, i want to buy a lens, but when i think about it, there is a limitation in camera life, when it worn out, i have to change a new camera. But if i buy a p900 i don't have to think about expensive lens, bc it does it job. And also i wonder with this camera, can i get money from it picture, if the results of its picture is good enough, i would prefer to buy this camera than a lens that cost too much.

does b700 has bluetoot?

What would you recommend for a hobbieist?

What's better for videos ?

he tenido las dos y puedo decir que la p900 pesa demasiado y es muy grande para llevartela de paseo a hacer fotos, la b700 tiene muy buen zoom tambien y es mucho menos pesada y comoda de llevar

only price?

Will either of these cameras be decent for sit down videos for KZfaq?

SUBSCRIBED BROTHER & LIKED 😇😇

Which one is better B700 or P900

How best one tell me

I love Nikon any model

Would be nice to have Panasonic FZ80 and Canon SX60 added to this comparison.

In 2018 which canon dslr camera model is best under 50000rs. Please tell me...

I'm currently asking myself these questions Do I need 4k ? No and are big files anyway will take up alot of memory and will most probably be doing more still photography than videos Do I need raw support ? Is 335g alot of difference ? Do I need the extra 4MP ? Do I need the extra 23x zoom ? The B700 is smaller and lighter to carry around The P900 main selling point is the extra zoom and 2.8 f-stop better focus Like the idea of taking photos of birds and planes and astrophotography but most likely birds Hmmm

hi is that coolpix p900 can take milky way shots?

Do you think the technological advantage as well as the price , is p900 worth the price ? Please do reply really confused between the price to performance aspect ? And also the 4k video recording option on b700 ?? And buddy you really are helping a hell lot of people out there with this video #respect 🤘

Which camera should I take, Nikon B700 or Nikon P900 Whose camera is the best

all videos with subtitles is better ;)

vote for better optical zoom.

in Nikon camera which model is best under 50000rs. Please tell me...

I tried both a lot,p900s 1400mm has better image quality than b700s 1440mm.but b700 is really lightweight.
