Excellent hope all this helps !! Also thanks for watching.

Colin, glad it has help. Always give it some time. It is not an easy camera to use in all respects to DSLRs but again not the cost or the weight as well. Keep Shooting.

Excellent to hear. Thanks for the kind words.

Glad to hear that thanks..

Excellent your welcome !

Thanks for the kind words !

Hey thanks for the kind words. Yep sadly they are kind of dying out. Point and shoots. I feel most people really do not want to carry around a bunch of lenses. The expense as well you know !

Christine, thanks for the kind words. I had the p900 for years a good little camera. The P950 feels very much the same, has a much needed better view finder, more responsive ect. Thanks for subscribing.

Much thanks for watching and the sub.

Yes, really nice. To be honest the cell phone wildlife guys are an entire another story LOL ! Glad to see you are using a real camera. It will server you well !

evsbichon thanks for watching. Good to hear you are a point and shoot photographer. Hopefully we can keep the affordable small compact cameras alive ! Really hate to see them go by the way side for much more expensive gear. Thanks again.

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Thought I would share my superzoom photos - not going to Nat. Geo. anytime soon, but still... They are processed with free software. I was not really interested in photography until I discovered the superzooms - had entry level DSLR that stayed at home for the most part. I am so happy to have nature photos I am proud of. Aside, I purchased the A1000 this morning - been wanting a compact camera for awhile, but not willing to spend $1000 for one. This will work fine - thinking of butterflies, dragonflies that are generally fairly close, plus often in good light. evsphotos @ smugmug dot com Thanks again for your work - I hope to put it all to good use.

@@evsbichon Yes excited good luck with the new camera. Keep at it man !

Excellent have patients it takes time.

Yes give it time and not the camera. Not all situations will yield good result but that is with every camera.

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Thank you.

Very Nice Indeed !

i just upgraded from B700 to P950 this week. My B700 has been awesome. i backpack/travel a lot and always on the lookout for wildlife opportunities so apart from the extra 0.5kg am very excited to see what my P950 can produce. will keep my B700 for trips without so much wildlife opportunities.

Thanks for watching !

Hey thanks for watching !

You bet... good luck !

Yes I mean there is a difference between the p950 and p1000 in build quality. The manual zoom ring is great on the p1000. If I had to choose I would go all in on the p1000, even thou it is super expensive for a point and shoot. This is where we are at with photography sadly. These super x\zooms will probably get more expensive as less people want a bridge camera. The last 5 years we seen price hikes on all in one cameras along with full frame. Some would say the cheap / expensive waves of gear goes in cycles. I am not sure where we are at on this one.

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I was thinking of comparing it to a competitor that's closer to the P950 in ability - for example the Kodak AZ901, with 90x zoom. It's about a full half pound lighter. I'm thinking the P950 would be a better camera. I'm more in the price range of the Kodak, actually, but would be willing to spend more for quality. The P950 is the absolute highest I can go. Thanks so much for the videos - beautiful results with these cameras!

Thanks again

Hope it helps !

Much thanks for watching !

Excellent glad you got something out of it. Also released a new video on camera buffers. This is the biggest setback of the P1000. The dreaded camera buffer for continuous shooting.

Good Luck and thanks for watching !

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I found part 2

Ahh very complex subject that I can address in another video. Sorry this is going to be to complex to write stay tuned.

You bet thanks for subscribing !

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE You're welcome! You're very clear and you also explain things very nicely, looking forward to see your other videos. Keep it up!

Well under the best focus meaning the bird is closest to you at macro focus distance you can blur the background. What is more important than that is your background and how close it is to your bird. Meaning, I have even had full frame cameras like the a7riv and shot birds where the bird still has distracting sticks behind the bird. The p1000 can get some ok to decent bokeh if you plan out your shots. Bigger animals such as deer are really difficult to get any type of background blur unless the deer is super close and the background is like a few miles away. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.

Baka, you will need to give it time to know your camera. First thing is for you to get confidence in your camera gear. Get a perfect setup. What I suggest, get a tripod and a bright day. Extend out your lens to 3000mm, 2500mm and shoot photographs to see what you can get in perfect conditions how sharp are the photos in perfect lighting on a tripod how is the resolution with the photo. Once you get a starting point then you know if something is less than perfect it is probably you and the setting. First I know my lens is sharp. So usually it is too slow of shutter speed for me to hand hold. I need to either brace the camera better or the subject like the bird moved. First thing is first remember you are shooting at an insane zoo range. Also, make sure you are not trying to photograph too far away, heat, dust get picked up in the camera as well and kill image quality. Stick with it. I have had 2 nikon p1000 both lenses were sharp. I have had 2 p900 both lenses were sharp. My p950 lens is sharp but harder to get photos because in my opinion it is the image stability. Keep at it and remember practice practice. It is not easy using these cameras for good results but it is possible.

LOL i do have a video I never released. I might release it in the next few days stay tuned.

No problem. Wow not sure About this one to be honest. The p1000 is a big camera. If you happen to get something setup write back. I have only used it on a tripod and even then for video you get shakes at 3000mm.

David, thanks for watching. So some things to take into consideration. Weather will it be raining, wet, sand dirty,. Also will it be dark or low light. You can pick up a more solid dslr with a 300 maybe 400mm lens and a weather sealed dslr or at least a tougher camera. I notice you mentioned go pro so extreme sport came to mind and these 950 and p1000 are kind of fragile in that respect. If you can keep it clean and dry in decent light it can do the job for you. If you want to bang it around at all , wet, moist sand ect nope would look at a dslr or mirroless camera with a 100-300 lens if that is enough zoom?? Wish I could be more help...

Yes would be something that needs to be able to take with us on advertising sports but not really be using It well doing the sports . But something not too big that can fit in a bag easy and would be for both low light and day time but mostly day time . We mostly using are phones s21 ultra for its zoom but can't get best details when comes to fast moving rides at theme parks as some go up high and can get the close. So what modles should I be looking for and do you have any videos on them as I like the details you go in too

@@davidgibson6696 David wish I could be more help to you. You might not need the 2000mm zoom so you could go with more of a dslr approach for a more durable and better low light performance at almost the same price. Thinking nikon, canon with a 300mm lens ?? Low light better fast focus. I would try to purchase and test or rent something before jumping in since this seems like it could get iffy on what you want to do and the results you expect. Maybe a place that has a nice return policy ?? Just trying to help hope this makes works.

Hey Trending, yea check to make sure you are in macro mode ? Also make sure you are not on Manual Focus Mode only. I know there is a limit to how close you can focus but you should be able to do macro work with the camera. It depends on how much zoom you have zoomed out and how close you can get. At some point you will hit a break point where you have to zoom out and then you can get closer and the camera focuses. Try experimenting with the zoom to distance ratio. I have it a few limitations with the zoom to distance ratio a few times. Usually I can work around it thou by getting closer and zooming out . If I zoom all the way out I can get right on top of the subject like a dime for macro work ! Hope this helps, Also give the camera time. I after 15 years with point and shoots learn things. Take care.

Stafford Fuhs lol I don’t know what literally most stuff does I just bought it because I for some reason wanted one of the best optical zooming cameras there is even tho I’m not a photographer I think I need to try it in sunlight because I got it at 22:00 from amazon and only tried flash and no flash in my room and it seems flash images turn out stupidly better for some reason? Even tho I had a torch directly on the thing I was shooting the flash seems to idk do better quality maybe cuz the camera knows timing idk? I tried zooming into a street light and it did actually zoom close and focus so maybe it’s just my room objects and lighting it can’t focus properly Other than that all I do is have it in the auto mode like the scroll wheel thing on the green camera icon. Then Switch the uh small rotatable dial to manual focus and use the scroll wheel on the left to focus as that’s all I know what to do

not substantially better. I mean if you are getting bad results which is subjective due to users opinions. I am afraid if I suggest the a1000 you would be disappointed. The image quality is slightly better but not worth totally upgrading. If you want to make a large image quality leap look towards bigger cameras. Also watch my super zoom shoot-out as I compare images of all these cameras under perfect condition. Give your camera time and make sure it is the camera and not the auto setting messing it up.

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE thanks for the reply man, I bought the camera for zoom range and compactness. I previously had an ixus model but that seems to provide better output. It seems you only buy this camera for the zoom

ahh sorry do not have that camera 😴

I usually if I can get away from it set to -.3 or -.7 as I feel the camera over exposes a bit anyway and that lets me lower the iso down.

Correct vibration reduction is different than noise reduction. Vibration reduction stabilize your camera. Noise reduces your video noise in your image two different things

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE right how do I shut off vibration reduction or should I?

Thanks for watching

I have a cheap Sirui 1004 www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1024701-REG/sirui_bsret1004_aluminum_tripod.html It is lightweight. I think the best thing you can do is try them out. Not sponsored by them. I went to a local camera store and noted this is light weight sturdy and AFFORDABLE. Tripods can get crazy expensive. Again hate to point you in the wrong direction, best to try them out. It is what I have.

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Thanks, I looked at that exact one yesterday. Seemed great. I picked up the P1000, just playing with it for a few days to see what I think.

@@105len Give it time and believe it can work and it will.

Rita thanks for watching. so I do have other videos on settings to ge the best images. you will need to give it time to understand the exposure triangle. I think most people just need more practice. as far as moving subjects and focus. I might make a video on focus speed and low light and what settings are best. stay tuned stafford. thanks again.

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I'm torn between the P950 and D5600.. Can't decide which one to buy 😞

@@roadmattersvideos6363 :)

Thanks !

Bruce thanks for the comments and questions. So I agee these bridge cameras all seem to have weak points in them. I notice it is really difficult for guys with DSLRs because of the performance that it lacks, so a different mindset is needed. The P950 EVF is much improved way better, I hated the P900 evf was horrible in my opinion. There are 3 shooting speeds on the P950 and P1000, slow, med, fast. Problem like you mentioned is the issues with the buffer. Man I really wish they would put in a larger buffer. If I shoot med or Fast it fills up very quickly. So I have to decide do I throttle the shot or push 7 fps and try to get 7, 14, 21 shots of the animal if it leaves. If I have more time than 3 to 5 seconds I will go for the slowest continous shooting speed as to extend out my shooting. Worse thing is all these nikons once you fill up the buffer they lock up the camera ahhhhh. I will look into the canon 60xhs, I know the Panasonic z80 had like 40 to 50 jpeg buffer I miss that. The P950 is improved some over the P900 but it is not earth moving diffference. The buffer is 2 to 3 times the size but that is not saying much. I frequently fill it up and wait. That is why I shoot slow mode of like 2 fps and hope for the best. Again, I am usually always at 2000 or 3000mm so it is the only thing that will work, my ILC system tops out at 1200 to 1800mm. Thanks again, jay

I would be curious about your thoughts on the Canon SX70hs. Its EVF is much improved over the my SX60. But the SX60 has provided surprisingly good results even into the digital range of appx. 2,300mm. The optical range is the 35mm equivalent of 21-1,365mm's if I recall the stats correctly. I think this is true of the SX70 as well. I look forward to your future videos.

​@@brucegraner5901 Hey thanks for stopping in. Sorry but I really do not know much about the canon version. I did hear that the buffer is pretty good. Other than that sorry I am interested in the image quality out of that camera being 20mp !

@@brucegraner5901 I've used Canon superzooms for years and now have two SX70s. Virtually all of the images on my blog for the last year were taken with an SX70 (compressed significantly for blog posting) -- forestandfield.blogspot.com/2020/07/a-naturalists-year-2nd-quarter.html I'd strongly advise against using the camera's digital zoom, the image will be much better if you crop in post processing -- try it.

Hey I use gimp. I have a video on how to make point and shoot photos more DSLR ish with bokeh look through my videos... Gimp is free and has some nice tools.

Very very strange,,, try less zoom, really good light and if that does not help, I would be a bit worried. I use A just about all the time...

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE Problem solved - I had focus set to infinity. Now everything works fine, duh...

Hello., try this video. I captured this grouse in low light with these settings. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sM97hqljqbrcgXk.html

The concept is the same, Slow shutter speed low ISO hold tight.

a very interesting. I do not have a video on that but it is a good concept to show. hmmm maybe in the future ??

Rod once again thanks for stopping in and viewing. I had the RX10III for a bit, great camera and it really makes me consider if we really need other camera systems as it is that good. I really wish they could extend out the zoom to 900mm or 1000mm and that be a killer camera, one can wish. So to answer your question, about aperature vs shutter. I guess it depends on your camera. There are a few reasons. 1. So the Sony RX10III I noticed it was slighly sharper at F5.6 than at F4. Some lenses use to be sharper stopped down that is an old carry over from years ago. Now nost newer point and shoots they are nearly as sharp wide open so not as much reason to do that. 2. I would use Aperature Priority because sometimes I would have a bird so close I would stop down even more to get the birds body in full focus and sharp. So his tail feathers are also in focus. 3. For some reason when I shoot Nikon bridge cameras in shutter priority it was not using the widest opening or shooting wide open. So a few examples I was shooting some birds then I noticed why is this shooting at F8 i zoomed back out some. I then switch over to aperature priority and set the camera manually to 7.1. For some reason the camera did not auto adjust my aperature back down to wider opening. Not sure why, but from then on I always manually set it. Nothing wrong with using shutter priority I use it sometimes when needing to watch the movement of animals, Most my shots are of animals that are pretty still, The AF of bridge cameras are pretty bad so Static Shots for me work, Fast moving animals not so much. I hope an answered your question.

Stafford Fuhs Thanks! Certainly makes sense. I hope you do the follow up videos to this one.

@@rreichar1 I think it is possibility.

You Bet, No Problem !

@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE I would be very happy about further practical P1000 wildlife videos - if you have time for it! :)

Yes, it is an adjustment call but I normally shoot at -3 to -.7 EV so not to blow the highlight yet get a faster shutter speed or lower ISO. Hope this helps.

Many thanks for both. Curious what type of content for photography do you normally watch ? Camera, reviews, how to videos? Wildlife photography videos ? Thanks again Stafford !

Yea not really sure on that one.

Hmmm that does not seem correct but maybe there is some other setting that is interfering with the camera. You might try multiple ways. I have noticed that in filming video once you start filming you cant seem to turn on and off items like you normally should be able to do . If it is in picture mode not sure thou. I have used manual mode in all types of photography and been able to do what I want. Hope this helps.

Hello, just got off the phone with Nikon's tech support. The technician was unaware of this issue. After about 15 mins on the phone the tech told me he was going to get a P950 and discuss the issue with a tech supervisor. About 1 hr. later he returned my call and told me that the supervisor was also unaware of this. Long story short, this is how the camera is supposed to operate. It's not a big deal to switch back to auto focus to change the aperture and shutter speed, however my other cameras don't have this problem. Lumix 300 Lumix1000 M2 and Sony RX10-4 Thank you for your help.@@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE
