Nikon P1000 Vs Sony RX10 IV – Zooming in on MOON
When it comes to zooming in on the moon, both the Nikon P1000 and the Sony RX10 IV offer impressive capabilities, but they do so in different ways.

Nikon P1000:

The Nikon P1000 is renowned for its exceptional zoom capabilities, boasting an incredible 125x optical zoom lens, which is equivalent to 24-3000mm in 35mm terms.
With such a powerful zoom, you can get incredibly close-up shots of the moon, capturing fine details like craters and surface textures.
The P1000 also features a Moon mode, which optimizes settings for lunar photography, making it easier to capture stunning shots of the moon without having to manually adjust settings.
Sony RX10 IV:

While the RX10 IV doesn’t have as extreme zoom capability as the P1000, with a 25x optical zoom (24-600mm equivalent), it still offers a respectable reach.
Where the RX10 IV shines is in its image quality and versatility. It features a larger 1-inch sensor compared to the smaller sensor of the P1000, resulting in better image quality, especially in low light conditions.
Additionally, the RX10 IV’s faster autofocus system and continuous shooting capabilities make it easier to capture sharp images of the moon, especially if you’re interested in capturing it during phases of movement, such as during lunar eclipses.
In summary, if your primary focus is on extreme zoom capability and getting as close to the moon as possible, the Nikon P1000 might be the better choice. However, if you value image quality and versatility along with a respectable zoom range, the Sony RX10 IV could be a more well-rounded option for lunar photography.

  25. The P1000 when photographing a very bright object like the moon can operate at 100 ISO and in this way the difference in quality with a larger sensor is greatly reduced, it does not seem realistic to me that the P1000 which is operating with only the optical zoom can give such a poorly detailed image, there is something wrong, either it is not perfectly focused or the lens of that specimen has some defect, or it is not set well, check the stabilizer, the ISO etc. With the P1000 I take very sharp photos freehand.

  28. very strange result from p1000. i saw a lot of much better moon video tests with p1000, even much better than sony rx 10 in this test. why such a difference here? even in your previous moon shot p1000 looks better than here

  30. Infidel = is an Arabic word. Meaning: He is the one who hides the truth. So stop calling Muslims Infidels… YOU ARE THE Infidels! Brainless Bastards…. You are the ones who hide the Flat Eart. And you infidel bastards are hiding many truths from humanity.

  43. Should have also mentioned the aperture for the still image. At least in this demonstration, thr RX10M4 produced a much better image even with the 4x crop. The 1-inch type sensor and wider aperture, nearly 2-stop advantage over the P1000, at the long end play a big role in this, no doubt.
