Nikon VQA060EA Coolpix P1000 - Black

Camera is heavy compared to my last camera, but totally acceptable because of the ease of use and quality of pictures now at my disposal, I am so very pleased / delighted with this purchase. Amazing camera in my humble opinion, point shoot PERFECT, or you can experiment with all the manual settings and programs, i am still reading up on and learning all of its many functions, I Just wish i had this awesome piece of kit at my finger tips 20 years ago, please watch the reviews and claims for this camera on YouTube Believe me everything I tried is just like the review / claims, the Zoom is way beyond my wildest expectations! I love this Camera, Very clever Nikon and many thanks........ a Happy customer!!

What an awesome camera with phenomenal zoom! Still learning my way around the settings and yet to perfect certain photos such as that of the moon and also Jupiter - the zoom is powerful enough that you can pick up Jupiter and four it’s moons! Provided of course you can get the settings right and you have a good enough tripod. Also read that it is possible to get shots of Saturn and it’s rings, though I am yet to attempt that. A tripod is also needed for zoomed shots In general. All in all a fantastic camera, despite the £1000+ price tag.

The camera has exceeded all expectations for taking wildlife photographs, particularly birds. Even at high focal lengths I've achieved very sharp images. The colour is consistently good. It is a beast of a camera though, and quite heavy so be prepared for that. It'll never replace a top end camera with a huge telephoto lens for quality, but if you don't have thousands and thousands to spend on such lenses this is a great second best. Autofocus a bit unpredictable with complicated backgrounds.

I have had a P900 for some years so I had a good idea of the strengths and weaknesses of this style of camera. The P1000 turned out better than I had expected, the weight is less than my DSLR+Telephoto lens system and the stability is very good, it makes it a good camera when I am walking around uncertain what I might see since it will tackle most situations. I like it a lot. I thought it was overpriced initially but it is more reasonable now and for wildlife and bird photographers it is a good tool to have.

Camera optical and image quality is all they say it is. The 125 zoom works very well and the stabilzation is amazing so pictures at full zoom are possible handheld. There is also digital zoom taking the effective zoom to 500x !! Great Optical zoom Picture quality Distance flash ability to switch between viewfinder and display Not so good Mount point for tripod is poorly positioned causing poor balance (front heavy) Doesn't come with seperate battery charger Awful Battery life just taking stills. 75-100 stills and the battery need replacing. I have now brought an additional charger and 2 more batteries. My Canon SLR can take 250+ stills on a charge with no problem. This is why I've given it 4 instead of 5 stars. If you are going sight seeing for a day would recommend taking several batteries.

You are the only one who can answer that question but lets get a few things clear. This camera is fairly niche and should not be judged as an all rounder. If you want a camera for family photos or general vacation then think again. I purchased it for wildlife and because i had done my research i was pleased with it - i will tell you why. I have a dslr / lens that enables me to photograph up to 750 mm and it does a great job . it is sharp and easy to access. The problem however is that at times it is just not reaching far enough and that is where this camera comes in . If you are in a hide or on a tripod and watching say waders out on the shoreline then this camera will reach the birds that a scope will reach . At the equivalent of 3000 mm it is roughly 60x zoom on a scope. The photographs are ok at best and if you are looking to take world beating sharp images then this will not be the one for you. Stick with the DSLR and long range lens. if however you are a blogger or birder who likes to record what you see then this will do a great job. It will reach places that nor even visible from your DSLR and a new dimension of pleasure to your bird recording. Its real strength is in the video and i use that 100% of the time and if i need a photograph then i will just take a frame from the ultra high definition video. You hear photographers talk about the weight but that is rubbish. It feels like a feather compared to the dslr/ lens combination. They criticise the censor but most phone video seems all right to me and indeed this gives me great video. I went for the 1000 as opposed to the 950 as it gives me the longest reach. The further you extend the lens the harder it is to keep still and you will need a tripod or hide clamp. Even then the wind will cause camera shake so you may have to bide your time. People may wonder if this is good as an everyday birding camera and the answer to that is that it depends upon your expectations. If you are a keen photographer who enjoys taking pics of birds then it is a good back up- as i use it. If you are a keen birder however who enjoys looking through binoculars and a scope and wants to take photographs of what you see then this will do a better job for you than most digi scoping set ups. Would i buy it again? - yes

Quality of pictures are like cheap compact cameras not like a proper dslr

Great piece of kit. If you like to take photos of wildlife or anything that requires a long zoom then this is a fun piece of kit to use. I don't use it all the time, but if I'm going for a walk and want a camera that can easily catch wildlife at a long distance then I have this with me. It is quite a large piece of kit but I do not see it as a problem as I use other DLSR's that, to be honest, are heavier than this. I have read a number of reviews that talk a lot about the small sensor size, but in good light I have not had any issues capturing great shots.

Pagata circa 1.097€, non ci ho pensato due volte e ho acquistato questa fotocamera. arriva in due giorni quindi spedizione amazon eccezionale come al solito. Parlando della fotocamera, lo zoom è pazzesco... arriva in teleobiettivo a 3000mm che è già tantissimo ma se scattiamo in qualità che non sia RAW allora si puo' arrivare anche a 6000mm (250x) in zoom digitale che devo dire riesce a mantenere una ottima qualità di immagine, anche in modalità video 4K 30fps. Pesa quasi 2 chilogrammi, quindi il peso si sente moltissimo specialmente quando usiamo tutta l'escursione focale al massimo del suo potenziale, il suo peso diventa molto sbilanciato ed è per questo motivo che consiglio di acquistare un buon treppiede, altrimenti la fotocamera non sarà mai stabile con uno zoom del genere. l'unico peccato per me è il sensore così piccolo da 16 miseri megapixels che non sono mica male però mi sarei aspettato almeno dai 18 megapixels in su visto il prezzo di questa macchina ( un po' esagerato devo dire! ). Ci sono moltissime funzioni già reimpostate, come ad esempio la modalità luna, birdwatching, panoramica anche a 360 gradi, Timelapse, startrail etc... La batteria non è molto capiente, 1110mAh, dipende dall'uso che se ne fa però c'è la possibilità di collegarla all'alimentatore dato in dotazione e poter usarla mentre è in carica. In conclusione le foto ed i video vengono davvero bene, però mi sentirei di consigliarvi di non acquistare questa fotocamera a prezzo pieno, non ne vale la pena. Se la trovate con un buon sconto allora ok, altrimenti lasciate stare e optate per un'altra.

Gran zoom, muy versátil. Es un poco pesada, cámara todoterreno.

J'ai longtemps hésité avant de faire l'acquisition de ce P1000, hormis le prix (mais finalement pas si élevé compte tenu de l'amplitude gigantesque de la focale), les tests proposés par des "professionnels" lus ici et là semblaient considérer cet appareil comme un jouet pas très sérieux et aux qualités parfois discutables. Malgré ça j'ai fini par céder à la tentation. Et je je le regrette pas ! Alors certes il n'entend pas rivaliser avec des gros cailloux qui valent 10, 20 fois plus chers, mais ayant pu le tester sur le terrain à l'occasion de vacances en bord de mer je me suis régalé ! Rien ne lui échappe, ou presque. Et si à fond de zoom il est préférable d'avoir beaucoup de lumière et un bon trépied, le P1000 s'en sort bien, même à main levée si vous parvenez à maîtriser un tant soit peu vos tremblements, car le stabilisateur fait des merveilles, même s'il ne faut pas lui demander l'impossible. J'ai été agréablement surpris par la qualité des clichés (bien sûr si on réalise une autopsie numérique avec un microscope électronique on verra que leur piqué ne vaut pas celui d'objectifs hors de prix, mais bon...), des clichés qu'il est facile d'améliorer, le poids de l'appareil doit être pris en compte, mais il n'a absolument rien de rédhibitoire, l'autonomie par contre n'est pas extraordinaire et je vous recommande vivement d'investir dans des batteries de secours disponibles sur Amazon si vous ne voulez pas tomber en panne sèche au plus mauvais moment. L'écran rotatif n'est pas tactile, tant pis, le viseur est plutôt agréable, l'autofocus ne m'a pas semblé paresseux, l'appareil est plutôt bien construit mais il est certain que vous ne passerez pas inaperçu en sa compagnie car son gabarit en impose, mais je vous rappelle que vous pouvez prendre des photos de très très loin. Et n'oubliez pas que généralement ce n'est pas l'appareil qui prend de mauvaises ou de bonnes photos, c'est le photographe.

Also wie immer alles perfekt bei AMAZON, Lieferzeit alles wie vereinbart. Zum Lieferumfang sollte auche ein Benutzhandbuch dabei sein, ist es auch aber in Pl-Cz-Hu, keine Spur in deutsch. Man kann aber alles bei Nikon direkt downloaden, aber wir leben halt in Deutschland und ich möchte gerne das Origan Handbuch in deutsch haben. Jetzt hab ich die kamera eine Woche und muß sagen trotz aller zig Einstellmöglichkeiten leicht zu bedienen wegen der inteligenten Menueführung von Nikon. Ein gigantisches Zoom, die Kamerea stellt schnell scharf. Ich finde eine tolle Kamera für viele Photobereiche. Manko: sehr schwer, Akku schnell lehr, und man braucht viel Licht um beste Ergebnisse zu erzielen.

Habe mir sehr viel davon erhofft, der Superzoom in Youtube Videos ist in wirklichkeit nicht so. Der Mond ist in Videos kleiner als es in Wirklichkeit für den Betrachter ist, die ersten 600mm Brennweite gehen dafür draf den Mond so zu Filmen wie es für den Betrachter aussieht. Danach kann man sich nur noch ein Rauschendes Video vom Mond ansehen. Wer meint sich damit ein Teleskop ersatz zu Kaufen wird wie ich enttäuscht werden. Muss aber zugeben das ich ein Flugzeug von Emirates damit von Unten Filmen konnte und dies schon beeindruckend ist. Das Gerät ist gut verarbeitet, Batterie hält auch erstaunlich gut. Wer probleme mit der App hat, sollte bei seinen Smartphone bei Wlan die Automatische verbindung zu Wlan Netzwerken ausschalten. Die 5 Sterne gebe ich trotzdem da das Gerät potential hat und ich kein Fotograf bin der es 100% beurteilen kann. Ich habe nur mein empfinden zu diesem Gerät geschrieben. Leider gebe ich es an Amazon zurück da 930€ mir dann doch zuviel dafür waren.
