I rented the P1000 for a week and for birding in good light it does very well if using a tripod. But the image quality is below that of a APS-C sensor which is much larger. That said, zooming out past 2,000mm reach is crazy, but you will only get good results in good light and shooting a stationary subject. It's not the camera for shooting birds in flight. Also on hot days you will see heat waves through the EV and the sensor will pick it up and the result is a trash photo. Rent first.
Glad both are sold out. I'm $600 richer.
It is a 1/2.3" sensor, it is basically a cellphone sensor with a telephoto zoom. Honestly though, I don't think there are a lot of options for this price range as APS-C sensors with a telephoto zoom certainly would not be cheaper.

The Sony RX10 III would be better, it will never hit this price point, but if you're willing to spend about $125 more you could get it and be much happier than with the Nikon.

I purchased this. I used to own the p900. I really enjoyed the super optical zoom and image stabilization. At this price seems like a decent value for my needs.

That Sony is an excellent camera that's a nice jump up in sensor size at 1" vs the small sensor Nikon. But this Sony's max zoom is 600mm so the Nikon's reach is 3-4x more. That Sony came out in 2016 and way overdue for a upgrade, but doubt it will happen as their market for it is small.

What's a normal pic? You mean not super zoomed? Yes. Is the lens swappable? No.

The lens has a zoom range of 24mm to 3000mm so the camera is pretty versatile. But, like someone has already mentioned, you can't change lenses.

That's genius. I didn't even consider that renting was an option to try before you buy.

I love the idea of this camera but as others have mentioned the sensor is really too small (and is part of the reason the magnification is so high, you need a lot more physical glass with a larger sensor to get equivalent zoom which is possible but it's not pretty.)

right, so what you are saying is sensor should not be any bigger, which I agree. the camera is big enough. if you didn't need (we know we want) that much zoom, there are others like Sony RX10
thanks OP.
