Great shots. The P1000 has incredible reach. Love it.
Hi John, I thought I would just add my thoughts. I use a Nikon DLSR and Fuji compact system camera. I am not a professional but I am very enthusiastic photographer. I enjoy taking wildlife shots and macro. I also do Astro photography for which I use my Nikon camera and a dedicated Atik camera. I too was fascinated by the reach of the Nikon P1000 but found myself going back and forth with various reviews that talked about the technicalities of the sensor size and the low light capabilities etc. and was almost put off buying it. But in the end I thought what the hell, I enjoy my photography and even if I didn't get on with the P1000 my wife would love it ( my wife likes bridge cameras and has a natural flare for composition...….very annoying). So I opted to take the plunge and I purchased the P1000 based on the incredible zoom. I have only had it a couple of weeks but my verdict, I love it. Most of my photography is daytime based so I don't have issues with low light noise, however I have taken shots at dusk and they have turned out very well. Its not a professional camera and it probably won't win you any prizes in a National Geographic competition but it has amazing reach and is capable of taking great images. I enjoy my photography and I enjoy the Nikon P1000. It's not going to suit everyone, but you can't deny a 3000mm reach in a £999 camera is amazing. It's not all about the test card analysis shots and the sensor size, its about how it works in practise and how it works for you. For me, I love it. I have even started to take some video of wildlife with this camera, which is something I have not done before.
Buy what is right for you John, be happy and enjoy your hobby.
I enjoy taking wildlife shots. As you can imagine the subjects don't always stop and pose for you to catch them. Back button focus set to continues focus for this type of photography is superb. It may feel strange to start with but you soon adapt. Some of my friends don't like it but if you have never used it, it is well worth a try.
These are great shots. The Milky Way over the Skyline arch is stunning.
For this shot, I think with. It's one of those shots that needs some kind of perspective and interest. I don't mean that the rock formation etc. isn't interesting but I think the presents of the people gives you a real feeling of size.
Very nice. My favourite is the first shot.
This live feed is excellent.
Hi, I haven't tried lightroom CC but I know that both lightroom classic CC and Photoshop CC 2019 both support NRW files. The fact that Adobe has deployed this codex to classic and Photoshop, I assume that it is available in all of their applications. For viewing on Windows you can download the codex from the Nikon download centre.
Good afternoon.
I came across this site purely by chance whilst looking for images taken with the Nikon P1000.
Whilst reading I found the members comments within the forum to be interesting, informative and real world.
I enjoy many types of photography from wildlife and macro and even do a bit of Astro photography.
Looking forward to joining in with the conversions and sharing some images.
All the best,
Benno
