The Coolpix P900 (2000mm) and P1000 (max lens zoom 3000mm up to 8000mm digital zoom). The build quality and hardware isn't that great, but the zoom capability is insane. People are even able to film Jupiter and Saturn with the P1000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I had a P900, must have been about 7 years ago now, too limited in image quality and low light performance for my taste/requirements but fun, I did a reverse airplane super zoom, I was in the plane and zoomed down to a house on the ground.

Aha, found it, wow longer ago than I remembered the video was 8 years ago, so it was probably 9 years ago I got the camera 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that they didn't put that lens in a better package. The sensor isn't that great, the build quality could be better, but on the other side I think it would make the camera so expensive and no one would buy it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To improve the image quality the sensor would have to be larger so the photosites are bigger and generate less noise, with a larger sensor the lens would no longer be the equivalent of 2000mm, you might notice that the actual focal length of the P900 lens is 4.3mm to 357mm but the field of view due to the tiny sensor is the equivalent of a 24mm to 2000mm on a full frame 35mm sensor camera that means the sensor has a crop factor of 5.6 so for example, if you put that same lens onto a 1 inch sensor camera it would then only be 11.6mm to 964mm but it's doubtful the lens has a large enough image circle to cover a 1 inch sensor. You'd get a much higher quality image by getting a larger sensor camera and putting a big lens on it, I'd still love to have a play with a Nikon P1000 though but I know I'd very quickly get fed up with Moon shots and airplane images plus the very noisy, poor quality images as that's why I got rid of my P900 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
