Q: QuestionWhy would they have such a small senor on this 3 cameras make me pass !!

Asked 7 years ago by Sheri.

• A:Answer It's physics, the small sensor size is due to the compact size of the lens in relative terms. if you were to use a 1-Inch sensor the 3000mm lens would be the size of a truck! Luckily, the science and advancements in sensor technologies and the light sensitivity of the small sensors are so good anymore that most people will not see the difference and it will only suffer in low light conditions. I shoot hobby nd pro and have cameras from Sony, Nikon, Canon and etc., I have both Nikon mega zooms the P900 and P1000 and they're both great general purpose cameras to carry when your not in the mood to carry your entire bag of gear with many different lenses. Is this a camera you could shoot pro with? No, but I have obtained some great images that I could not even think of getting even with my large 600mm Zooms for my Nikon which btw are huge lenses which require a separate case to carry them. So why the small sensor? It makes a 3000mm zoom possible on a general purpose camera that shoots outstanding photos compared to even the best pro gear a decade ago.

Q: QuestionA while back I read an article that said this camera was going to have RAW format capabilities. The specs on this site only mentions Jpeg. Could some one clarify this please??

Asked 7 years ago by Bailey.

• A:Answer Hi I have the Nikon Cool Pix P1000. Yes it has RAW format capabilities. I love this camera. Took it with me to Denal. Got some amazing pictures. I love the fact you don’t loose any clarity with the zoom. You do need a monopod or tripod if shooting lots of long range photos. It’s hard to hold steady at long range zooming. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionWhat are the benefits of preordering the camera now, vs waiting until the release date to purchase it? Thank you.

Asked 7 years ago by Mike.

• A:Answer Let's see if I can answer your question since i preordered one this morning. First is how long do you want to wait to buy one? Supply and demand will factor into this. Let's say that Best Buy orders 2,000 P-1000 from Nikon to cover one demo camera and one sells item in each of it's stores, plus supply for preorders and web store. How long is that supply of 2,000 camera going to last and how long before Best Buy can order more from Nikon? For some this plays a big roll in their perorder one for themselves. Those preordering one now, should receive them on 3 Sept. from what I am reading from the ordering page, the day the P-1000 goes on sale in stores. Next does the P-1000 fill what you want to do with it? Sure it is not the best camera out there, but I feel it is a very good deal at just under $1,000 and for what it offers in that way of use. Some of the down sides seems to be it is not water proofed so keep it out of the rain. If you are good out somewhere to shoot alot of pics or movies that day with it. You may need to carry extra batteries (do to short battery life from what I have been reading on the web) and some form of off camera storage of your pics and movies. Do your homework than deside if you want to buy now or wait to buy.

Q: QuestionWhy an expensive camera like this has only 16 megapixel....?????

Asked 7 years ago by Jimmy.

• A:Answer I’m not sure what the manufacturer’s reason was for the low pixel count but in the case of dslr’s the lower pixel count improves light gathering for the sensor. Seeing as this camera has such a long zoom I think this reasoning applies. The further you zoom in the less light gets to the sensor. It’s perhaps a balance between megapixel and useability at longer zoom ranges.

Q: QuestionHow does this camera perform with low light situations where you are at a convention and it’s dark but the actors on stage are in bright light?

Asked 6 years ago by Kimber976.

• A:Answer The P1000 has an ability to get amazingly sharp images of a variety of subjects, even in low light, due to a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture, a backside-illuminated image sensor, high ISO capability and an EXPEED 4 Image Processor. Couple those features with a zoom-in power that can reach the moon, you should have no problem capturing all the action as it happens on the stage in vivid detail.

Q: Questionwhich is the better camera, nikon p950, or the nikon p1000? Price is not the issue. Looking for performance, quality and no issues with mechanics. pls advise which on would be the better choice. I am choosing because of the zoom capability. Thank you

Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer In my opinion, the P950 is the better camera. I currently own one and I owned a P1000. The P950 is the newer model, it actually feels better in your hand. You really don't gain much with the extra length of the P1000 except for it's heavier and it just feels big and clunky. Both have quality results, I just prefer the P950.
