Wav's New Photography Hobby

Good advice.

I'm thinking not necessarily YouTube for band stuff. That will be more the purview of our band leader.

I'm thinking primarily close-in work where the camera may be only a few feet from me for my own YouTube channel.
Almost any decent still camera will get you good 4k video for that unless you are in really low light. Lighting is big! . Soundwise, if it is just talking the built in mics should be plenty for YT.
A compact digital of some sort would do the trick, depending on budget and what else you might use it for.
 
OK camera buffs, I just purchased a Nikon Coolpix P1000 with 3000mm optical zoom and an additional 3000mm digital zoom. With a total of 6000mm this is the most zoom offered on a point and click camera. Below is a link to my website where I uploaded these videos. Please take a look into space with me...

3000 mm is 118 inches or almost 10 feet, must be a heavy lens or a typo. I have a Tamron 28-300 on my Canon, maybe 300 mm?

Features​

Zoom to the moon and beyond with the most powerful lens ever put in a Nikon COOLPIX camera. 3000mm of mind-blowing reach with rock-steady VR image stabilization. 4K Ultra HD video. RAW (NRW), macro, time-lapse and Superlapse shooting. With a flip-out Vari-angle display, advanced features and point-and-shoot ease, this camera is truly out of this world.

Holy something.
Is it like stacked dirt pedals, how can they achieve 3000 mm in a pocket sized lens.
How long is the actual lens?

Remember the sensor is tiny. It is 3000mm EQUIVALENT in 35mm sensor size. Actual focal length is 4.2-539mm. Still a very impressive lens!!
