I had the P900 and loved it. So I expected this camera to be better than that one. I was excited to get it but when I started shooting i found it to be unimpressive. Using the digital zoom. the photos came out fuzzy and the white balance wasn't quite right.. Taking closer photos yielded better results, but the white balance had to be reset every time I took a photo. I tried to get some shots of the moon. The P900 took excellent shots of the moon with lots of crisp details. The P1000, well, let's just say wasn't as good. The images turned out to be a bit fuzzy. You could see the craters but they weren't crisp like the P900. I'm attaching photos to demonstrate the zoom. The first 3 are stepping up the zoom to maximum digital zoom., The other 2 show the optical zoom which is better. I haven't learned the quirks of using this camera yet but expect it will get easier and the photos will get better. Using a tripod was a little tricky because the camera is front heavy and you attach it to the tripod in the back. The P1000 seems to be about twice as heavy as the P900 so it is clunky when trying to take photos on the fly. It is also slower than the P900. It takes a noticeable second to focus and the another to refocus and shoot and more to process the photo. I haven't tried shooting action shots but birds were difficult to capture in flight due to the slow focus and shoot. It seems it gets distracted by something that moves in front of it, like a breeze that moves the leaves in the foreground causes it to lose focus on the subject. That can be remedied by avoiding the auto setting and using a tighter matrix to focus. I will probably get used to the differences and challenges of using this camera but after using it for more than a week, I am still not impressed. There is a sharp learning curve for me. I take a lot of photos but am not professional. This is my 4th bridge camera and it is by far the steepest learning curve.Read full review
