"I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles" - The Who


The broad based test of my P1000, what it was bought for adaptability, where I could take landscapes, macro and zoom photos with one device. It won't replace a DSLR when it comes to quality but will replace my SX60 with better everything. Battery life is not very good and carrying a fully charged spare is essential if I'm out all day.

Photos from St Cyrus, Montrose Basin, Murton and two from Keptie Pond. Videos below at these links are recorded in 4K UHD and hosted on my Flickr.
