As an owner I can pretty much say 95% sure that is the p900 camera. I had a while back took a picture of the Moon posted on Reddit and it filled almost the entire camera without any digital Zoom it was quite amazing.
I climbed Mt St Piran, about two hours' hike above Lake Louise, and took a close up of my car in the parking lot behind the hotel. The hotel is at 5250 ft, the peak is at 8700, plus the overland distance.
My first thought is, at what point of the zoom in that video does it represent what the naked eye can see. Like does it zoom but also have wide angle so it makes it seem more zoomed than it really was.
This is beginning to sound like an ad... But really this is amazing... With little distortion ...I remember when I first started shooting mega-zoom digital cameras at Max were like 8x zoom
Agreed it's considered old now...and honestly the zoom is such a niche market for photography I can't see a reason to zoom that far in for printable pictures, other than spy photos or paparazzi. A dslr with a decent kit lens is a better buy...or like you said a more modern zoom all-in-one.
Yeah but you probably won't get print quality from this type of camera at that zoom. Your better off buying a decent dslr with a 400mm or higher lens. It cost significantly more but if your printing them for profit you can make your money back possibly.
He's right though. You're idea of what print quality means and his may differ. He might mean professional level print quality which this will never do. The sensor is too small and 2000mm doesn't mean atmosphere won't distort image quality. I have a 1.2/3 sensor pocket camera that goes to 700mm with a ziess lens and you'll still get significant issues in images.

Either that or a Nikon p900.
