Yeah, but...what do you think of the P1000?

John

I will try it when it's available, and buy it if there is not too much
noise, or shutter lag.

That thing's going to need some extraordinary IS. Or a tripod.


Or high ISO capability, and extraordinary tracking ability. I suspect
it will not be suitable for me, but I will give it a fair try.


Without a tripod (or a pretty steady support, for a stationary target)
it is going to be very difficult to use at full zoom.

A gyro stabilizer might work too.

True, or even a SteadiCam rig. But I still suspect that many purchasers
will expect to be able to use the full zoom handheld, only to be
disappointed. Focus may be tricky too. That said, some people are going
to get lucky shots. But the small sensor is the thing which would put me
off.
