Does anyone have any thoughts on the sensor in the B700 vs what is in the P900? They look to be the same size but the B700 has more pixels (21.14 vs 16.76). Is that proven to be good in the B700? Sometimes to many pixels in a small sensor results in more noise.
The B700 is listed to do 4K video so I take it that is one advantage.
Can one see improvements in an image from a B700 vs a P900 all settings being equal?
Wow, 3000mm, that is amazing if they can keep it stable. The P900 shows a lens speed of F2.8 - F6.5. Any idea of what it will be for a 3000mm?
Both cameras do have the same size sensor,your observations on the differences are correct.......
I live in hope they will add a focus system that can cope with BIF ect and a manual zoom ring.....
Mike ..... Thanks for the reply. If the only significant benefit of the B700 sensor is the 4K video, then I am fine with what I have in my P900 as I do not do video. I do not have the desire or the creative skill to do all the post editing of sound, transitions, graphics, etc to produce a good quality video. Still photos work for me.
A 3000mm lens sounds appealing if it can be stabilized and is still fast enough. Sometimes it would nice to have a little more reach when photographing small birds.
Those are some nice photos with good sharpness of the birds. Where those taken hand held (with the stabilization on) or were you braced or using a tripod?
Personally though, I'd love for the 1-inch sensor superzooms to keep developing to a point where they can hit close to 1000mm equivalent, though the lens on that would be truly massive.
The rumors have picked up again for a replacement,they say the downside could be it was going to be built in the Chinese factory Nikon just closed, also still talk of a red dot finder to go with it.
Mike,
What is a red dot finder?
Thanks.
Thanks Mike. Interesting idea. I can see the potential for following birds in flight. So basically the P900 replacement would need a hot shoe to have a place to attach the Red Dot accessory?
