What I have found with these cameras, is that it is quite easy to end up in a shooting mode giving you really slow shutter speeds, 1/15 second , 1/30 second. Shutter priority at least forces the ISO setting and aperture to give you the best chance of a higher speed. -

Also it looks like the p950 has a smaller manual focus wheel, which might be better than the p1000 in that you won't accidentally knock it. (I use the wheel for changing exposure if I'm in auto focus) The p950 focus looks more like a binocular focus wheel, although I'm only going by the pics. -

Something I noticed when moving from the p900 to p1000, was the zoom on the p1000 moves really quick from 1500mm to 3000mm. I had it in my head that it would behave like the p900 up to 2000mm then continue to 3000mm. Instead the time the p900 would take to get to 2000, the p1000 is at 3000. It... -

It has us going down a dead end to some extent. These cameras do struggle a lot in dull conditions, or anything fast moving. Trouble is, you go to any other model and the loss of reach must be unbelievable. P1000 can take reasonable pics into the digital range, ~4000mm?! And the size / weight /... -

The video in particular, I was pointing at the birds, zooming right in, pressing record, and the screen would go blank for a second then start up with the subject seemingly incredibly sharp. I was laughing to myself how sharp and bright it was. I wasn't laughing when I realised I'd filled my... -

I think my p1000 paid for itself on a trip to Thailand.. YouTube video quality can be increased to 4k https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu3NpdzVwJ9lItFtQHZNhktKKAeg_BifP Sultan Tit was a photo, 5-10m away. Warbler was a grab from video.. I think only a couple of frames had the bird, so a... -

I had the p900, changed to a used p1000. I don't notice the image quality being worse than the p900. Don't have any regrets in changing. *The Manual focus is better, and the 4k video is really good. *The digital zoom is usable as well, especially with shutter timer and a tripod . I don't think...
