I don't know, the nikon p1000 is ~ 3000 mm equivalent by designing the sensor+lens together.

On the other hand, it doesn't behave like a good canon ultrasonic lens with immediate focus. not at all.

The Nikon P1000 has a 539mm zoom lens with extremely small sensor: 1/2.3". And it's probably a contrast based focus system. I would not expect good results from such camera.
