Epic collection , i did have all the cameras in this video except fz82 , here is my 2 cents and cameras you can try to help out if you want to make more videos like this, From all the bridge cameras , the most bang for the buck is the FZ1000 mk1 not mk 2 = the mk 2 has new features but the image quality is not good. if money is no option the king of the bridge cameras is rx10iv , the rx10iii autofocus is slow ( it will miss a lot of shots ) In the middle and all rounder p950 or p900 . for the money the p900 is better. For future videos try the Canon g3x its a nice 1` sensor camera .
Thanks for the comment. Someone else brought up the G3x the other day. My understanding is that its a slower lens than the RX10IV and autofocus is not as good and possibly not as sharp but definitely may be worth a look. Thank you.
Great comparison video. Thanks for all your hard work in testing these cameras. I have the FZ80 and use it for wildlife and have been quite surprised at the shots and video I have gotten. As with any camera, understanding it limits and playing to it's strengths is the best way to get good results. There is always a compromise to be made so choose the features that are important to you and most importantly, get out and use it.🙂
ive always ignored bridge cameras over the yrs, and bought dslr types, in the last month ive bought a Nikon p900, then a lumix fz1000 and to be honest I'm over the moon with the results ive had, have taken some great bird shots , mainly stationary birds and videos , I an looking forward to not carrying 2 camera bodies and 6 lenses around on my back this yr , cheers Shane uk
I have the FZ300 and it’s a blast. Perfect adventure camera (if the light is good enough) Have seen someone abuse it in the rain so the weather sealing seems to be the real deal. And the iZoom is impressive. I tried the RX10iv before I got my FF gear and it’s really impressive as long as the light is good enough, but the FZ300 is more fun to use and I don’t really know why.
I liked your presentation because it talked about the advantages/disadvantages when used for a particular purpose. Based on the type of pictures I want to talk I now have a much clear understanding of which cameras give me what I need. FYI: The EU law requiring all electronic devices that use a cable to charge the device must be USB-C. Products without it are not allowed to be sold in the EU. This impacts a number of the cameras reviewed.
Hi! Thank you for the presentation! The result is what we already knew, that there is no universal camera in this category. You have to choose the camera for the task at hand and then you won't get any unpleasant surprises.
Excellent video and thanks for the comparision. I just started to re-visit bridge cameras. On the secondary market they can be quite cheap and occasions you can find NOS ( never opened box) I picked up 2 Pentax bridge cameras the X-5 and the Pentax XG-1. My favorite is the X-5. Like any of these bridge cameras there are sometimes quirks and cons with them, But knowing that if you don't push the camera too hard you can get some stunning results. I was able to do client work with the X-5 having that zoom made it so much easier that to have to swich lens on a DSLR. Great content as always and thanks for sharing!
That's great to hear. Thanks for sharing that and thanks for the comment. I have heard about the Pentax cameras and I hope to look into those eventually.
Hi. I also applaud your effort with this endangered camera style. For so many people, a good cellphone is all they need. But for us explorers, a long zoom lens is a good thing to have.
Thanks so much.. ! I am just hoping that these bridge cameras will make a comeback and I have a feeling they will since there are so many people like us that miss them!
Great video as always. I recently got the RX10 IV and I love it. One thing I'll disagree with you on is the slow motion capability of the RX10 IV. Other than the RX100 IV and above, there aren't any other consumer cameras that can shoot 1000fps. I get that the quality at 1000fps is poor, but being able to shoot a bird take off at 600mm and 1000fps is unheard of in consumer electronics. I haven't played around with 120fps and 240fps on my RX10 IV, but from your videos, the quality seems to be much better. Perhaps on par with the Panasonic competition. Keep up the quality videos. You need way more subscribers and views. I turn my off adblock and give you a reload for the adsense.
Thank you sir, much appreciated. My point on the slow mo with the RX10IV really was with the "HFR" mode or what they call "super slow motion" Its very awkward to use in that it only shoots for a few seconds, takes time to render and I find the output quality to be low compared to what the Panasonics can do.. But I think slow motion is always best to do in post production anyway.
I just picked up a new open box Panasonic fz200 for $200 on e-bay and I love it, does it take as good a picture as My Nikon DSLR...... no it doesn't, but not a huge difference either. It has that 25 - 600 Leica zoom lens that is great for bird pictures and weighs less than half of the Nikon, it is a brilliant walk around camera.
I wish there is an M43 bridge camera. Actually it should not be far off. Take the Olympus EM-1 III body, with the 12-200 lens. It's around 1kg in weight. But the manufacturer can certainly make it lighter, and the lens a bit brighter if it is a fixed lens version. That would be a very capable and versatile all-in-one camera.
I had FZ300 and P900, and I use to take better videos and photos with even intelligent/extended zoom of FZ300 despite P900 had 83x optical zoom... Best value camera I guess is FZ300, I really liked and miss it's constant 2.8 aperture throughout the 600 mil zoom range...
I think they’d have to see the camera first I don’t know you can give them a call He’s very fair -you can mention you were referred by the guy on RUclips lol
Thank you for the wonderful video I'm confused between them. I like photographing people and portraits, and at the same time I like photographing the moon and planets professionally. Do you recommend the Nikon P1000?
Thanks very much for the comment. I highly recommend you watch the video I created with the link below. In that video I show the P1000 shooting a model and you can see if the results are acceptable to you! Feel free to jump to 6 minutes into the video which is the portrait section: ruclips.net/video/6mRvajfee2w/видео.html I will say that a smaller sensor camera like the P1000 cannot give you the same kind of background blur that a fast prime lens can, but it absolutely can deliver nice results.
@techtoremember8096 Thank you. I saw the video. Through watching the video, I discovered that the Sony images are better and more accurate, but unfortunately the zoom is not as strong as the Nikon
Great comparison video, well done. As I've mentioned here before, I have a Nikon B700 which is very similar in features to the P950(shorter lens, but a 20mpxl sensor). It can take decent photos and video but what drives me insane sometimes is how it loses focus in video, particularly if you're zoomed in on something. I can have the subject filling the frame but the camera can lose focus then just drift off back to minimum focus till the image is so fuzzy you can't tell what it is. If the P950 and 1000 does the same I wouldn't even consider them. I have an old Canon SX50HS that zooms quieter, locks focus faster, and holds focus much better than the B700. If the SX70 acts similar to the 50 I'd go for that. And, if I win the lottery, I would definitely buy the RX10iv. Still priced around $2200 here in Canada, IF you can find a new one. Once again a very informative and entertaining video, always worth the time to watch, thanks for sharing!
Hi! Thanks so much for the kind words. I wish I had better news about the focus of the p950 and P1000 but unfortunately, they do behave much as you described with your B700.

@@billr6983 I have the FZ80 and have had similar focus issues when shooting video. What I have found pressing the shutter button half way causes the camera to re-establish focus and if I keep holding it down the focus stays locked. Give it a try, maybe your camera will do the same.
@@jonathanmurphy2065 I have tried that but no go. On the B700 half pressing only works before I start recording. Once it starts there's no way to re-establish focus. The only way is to stop recording, refocus and pray it holds when I start recording again. I have tried manual focus but it's so clunky and hard to get accurate focus that I don't use it.
I have an SX50 and an SX60. I enjoy the SX50 more. It's like Canon got it right the first time. And it has the same advantage of the 12mp sensor with larger pixels like the FZ200 and FZ300. Also, the control panel on the back of the SX50 is the best set-up I have experienced.
Hi there! I've been thinking a lot in buying either HX400V or a A6000. My budget is really low and I really want to start with a better camera (currently I'm using a compact samsung camera 😂) I love the idea of not having to buy lenses since they're kinda expensive and watching your videos about bridge cameras is just really helpfull! You're a master when it comes to explain these cameras and maybe you're like the only youtuber that put effort in these type of content ("old" bridge cameras) thanks a lot dude!! I'm gonna try with that HX400V since the "perfect" camera doesn't exist, thanks again and sorry for my english, not my first language!
Your English sounds pretty good to me! I think you'll really like the HX400V despite it not being "perfect". Please share your experience when you get it.! Thanks for the comment
HX400V is a capable and less known camera. It's not exactly on the same league with the rest of these cameras due to its age but if you forgive the viewfinder and are willing to edit some photos, hit / miss ratio is very high on that camera in nature photography setting and that says something. Since you mentioned budget as a constraint, an alternative could be B700 which is pretty much a small P950 with many of the same features and optical quality. A hidden gem.
I am an avid/rabid HX400V user. I have a gamut of other bridge cameras that I use to varying degrees, but I am never without my HX400V. It just works better than the rest.

The only thing I've found that overpowers the zoom noise is having the camera sticking out the window while driving on the highway.
That's a good point. All these cameras make some noise when zooming so if you're shooting video in a quiet room, it will pick it up. I especially noticed it on the P950. Not sure if it was just my model or not but it seemed louder than the P1000. Agree you won't have that issue with the FZ2500. Pretty crazy about your Fuji bridge camera. Must be an old one!
@@techtoremember8096 It is indeed an older camera. Released over a decade ago as a more budget camera. I'd say the best things about it are the fact that it does _have_ video recording (not good quality), a flash (to be expected), uses SD cards (standard at the time), and a 42x zoom (best thing about it). The screen and viewfinder are low res, the focus misses in what should be ideal situations, the images are grainy at base ISO, the 1080p video is 60 fps interlaced and hardly 720p quality, new batteries (four AA) last about a half hour, and there is no RAW. I have a compact camera that's older than it is, but performs much better in every area, except it's got a 20x zoom compared to 42x. If the camera didn't have such a noisy zoom, and the focus was decent, it would be nice for recording videos with an older look.
After a long internal debate I bought the 950 iso 1000 and Im very happy with it. The stabilisation is very good. I can hand hold it even at max zoom. The only thing not good is the continuous focus. This is not a camera for BIF
Thank you so much. I just bought a brand new Sony rx10 iv 2 weeks ago. 1100 euro for last unit from Mediamark ,And I was very confused about that is a good decision or not? Now I knew
If possible can you do a video on to take photos,video of the plants with the Nikon P1000.Moon I can do great plants not so good.One more how about the best point and shoot.Mine are canon SX740 and Sony RX 100 III.
i had the fz2500 shame about the autofocus. i am looking forward to them making an updated model with the new autofocus system of the gh7 or g9 ii. i would also love a new sony rx mark 5 with an improved stabilization system and the removal of the shooting limit, and of course an autofocus system update based on the latest system. they can do it, they should just want to do it... it's a shame... with some small improvements of the latest technologies they would be perfect systems. btw, maybe panasonic will launch some new camcorders with a new face detect autofocus system... let's hope it's something good... not like hc vx3...
As stated in the beginning of the video, the qualifications were that the camera had to have an electronic viewfinder which is definitely something most photographers prefer and demand especially for wildlife and birding. There are quite a number of very old cameras and I'm sorry I could not discuss every one of them . I wish I had the time as the video already went very much overtime!
@techtoremember8096 G3 X supports two different models of attachable viewfinders from Canon (one is even articulating). It's one of the smallest, yet 1" sensor and offers 25x optical zoom, huge touch screen etc. One of my favorite cameras in this genre. I love your videos BTW.
Oh really ! Wow you know what I’m going to look into this model further Thank you !!! And I appreciate your kind words. I did not know about the external evf !!!
@@techtoremember8096 it's my pleasure. They are called EVF-DC1 and EVF-DC2. One articulates, the other OLED. Both are very good, high resolution. PS: I have all these models and more. Bridge cameras are my passion, hence me watching all your videos. If I could make a suggestion for the smaller, pocketable super zoom cameras video you will do, please try to include a rare model, A1000 from Nikon as it is the top and end of the line.
Epic collection , i did have all the cameras in this video except fz82 , here is my 2 cents and cameras you can try to help out if you want to make more videos like this,
From all the bridge cameras , the most bang for the buck is the FZ1000 mk1 not mk 2 = the mk 2 has new features but the image quality is not good.
if money is no option the king of the bridge cameras is rx10iv , the rx10iii autofocus is slow ( it will miss a lot of shots )
In the middle and all rounder p950 or p900 . for the money the p900 is better.
For future videos try the Canon g3x its a nice 1` sensor camera .

I got here pretty early for not getting a notification. Love the bridge camera, compact camera, and especially camcorder videos!
Thanks so much !!
Great review, thank you. Let's hope that bridge cameras have some sort of revival this year. 😊
Thank you ! And yes fingers are crossed !
Excellent video. Thank you for the research.
It’s worth noting that the almost identical RX10M3 is a great option on a budget for photo quality.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment and yes the RX10M3 is a great value and takes great pictures

Best small sensor Bridge is FZ300. Best 1" sensor RX10 IV

btw, maybe panasonic will launch some new camcorders with a new face detect autofocus system... let's hope it's something good... not like hc vx3...
Yes, lets hope. We've been waiting a while for this but all we can do is wait!!
It's very unfortunate that G3 X isn't in this video
As stated in the beginning of the video, the qualifications were that the camera had to have an electronic viewfinder which is definitely something most photographers prefer and demand especially for wildlife and birding. There are quite a number of very old cameras and I'm sorry I could not discuss every one of them . I wish I had the time as the video already went very much overtime!
@techtoremember8096 G3 X supports two different models of attachable viewfinders from Canon (one is even articulating). It's one of the smallest, yet 1" sensor and offers 25x optical zoom, huge touch screen etc. One of my favorite cameras in this genre. I love your videos BTW.
Oh really ! Wow you know what I’m going to look into this model further Thank you !!! And I appreciate your kind words. I did not know about the external evf !!!
@@techtoremember8096 it's my pleasure. They are called EVF-DC1 and EVF-DC2. One articulates, the other OLED. Both are very good, high resolution. PS: I have all these models and more. Bridge cameras are my passion, hence me watching all your videos. If I could make a suggestion for the smaller, pocketable super zoom cameras video you will do, please try to include a rare model, A1000 from Nikon as it is the top and end of the line.
Ah yes I actually had that model Will do ! Thanks so much for your input !
