Basically, I always prefer an SLR camera. The reason I bought the P1000 is for travelling, so I don't have to carry all my lenses around all the time. Yes, the photos are not quite as good in sharpness, and when there is little light available, it is also a bit more difficult. (Noise in pictures)

You actually have to ask yourself these questions:
- How much do you want to spend on your photo equipment?
--> A decent SLR with lenses costs more and you won't be able to cover this zoom range. (is not affordable, and for the lens you need a sherpa).

- Do you want to deal with the subject "photography"?
If you don't get a clear yes here, then go for the P1000. It will be sufficient for everyday situations and you don't have to ask yourself questions like which focal length with which speed should I buy for my camera. But the area of application in which the camera is strong:
- Daytime with a lot of light and you need a lot of zoom (because you don't want to get too close to the lion, for example).
- Marko shots
Weak all situations where you have little light. (Example: taking a picture of a bird in the forest after the blue hour).

I hope this helps you to decide which camera to buy.

Well, I had the P900 (predecessor model) with me on the Galapagos, as well as my SLR and a compact (Sony RX). With enough light you can take pictures with the focal length that are otherwise impossible: sensational portraits of the Galapagos lizards, we also had the chance to take pictures of Galapagos snakes, various lizards in large format and also portraits of the frigate birds and much more. In the meantime I always take the P900 with me. We even took moon photos from the boat that came out super sharp. The only thing I missed with the P900 is the P1000: RAW format. I will probably also get the P1000 as a hyperzoom, even if I use my Sony A7Riii for sports photography. Once you have this zoom range, you don't want to do without it.
