Nikon quite literally aimed for the stars with the Coolpix P1000, thanks largely to its amazing telescopic abilities.


Unbelievable zoom

The zoom is astounding: The 3000mm equivalent NIKKOR ED glass lens is the most powerful ever on a Coolpix series camera and lets you explore the galaxy as well as the earth. Photograph not just the moon, but the craters, peaks and valleys that adorn its surface. Why look at a blurry Saturn when you can see the planet's rings? The Coolpix P1000 pushes technology to bold new heights so you get a close-up view of objects that are far, far away.


A stable zoom experience

The cost of extreme zoom power is the amplification of even the smallest camera movements. This issue is largely rectified by a Dual Detect Optical Vibration Reduction system which stabilizes horizontal and vertical movements.


Magical moving pictures

The Coolpix P1000 features 4K Ultra HD video combined with stereo sound, so you can create an amazing cinematic experience, based on that awesome zoom and high-quality image sensor. To help you keep control of the process, you can manually adjust things like focus and exposure.


Extraordinary fast-motion footage

The tricks keep on coming, with time-lapse and superlapse recording modes also available. Time-lapse combines still images shot at customizable intervals into a 10 second video, while Superlapse can capture video at speeds up to 30x!


Cool and compact

For all the features and awesome zoom power, the Coolpix P1000 is still a relatively compact and portable device, and one that's very easy to use thanks to a host of external control features like a smooth focus control ring, snapback subject acquisition checking and AF/MF switching.

Nikon COOLPIX P1000 Digital Camera - Brand New review

The Nikon COOLPIX P1000 is okay for sport and wildlife photography. It has an extremely long built-in zoom lens that's great for capturing incredibly far-off subjects. The image quality is also decent for its class, although image quality degrades significantly in low light.
Pros:
  • Okay image quality for its class in bright conditions., Extremely long focal length., Feels well-built., Quick shutter speed.
Cons:
  • Very big and heavy., Very poor low light performance., Continuous shooting speed is limited by buffer., Bad autofocus performance.

Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera - P1000 VQA060AA review

Without a doubt, the Nikon Coolpix P1000 is a very unique offering that has no real competition today. With its insane 24-3000mm equivalent zoom range, it is a truly versatile superzoom camera.

Disappointing

I already have a Coolpix P900 and thought it to be an amazing camera. I am a birdwatcher and the zoom blows your mind away. The quality is less at high zoom. I bought the P1000 hoping they would improve on that. I tested it day after day, and was not happy. I returned it.

Nikon COOLPIX P1000

The best feature of the Nikon Coolpix P1000 which impresses almost all the buyers is its 300mm zoom lens. They also find the body of this camera to be sturdier and the EVF bright and sharp.
Pros:
  • Hot-shoe for mounting film-making accessories
  • Manual mode provides more control over your videos
  • HDMI port for playback and recording to an external monitor
  • Time-lapse and super-lapse recording modes help create extraordinary fast-motion footage
  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity enables wireless...
Cons:
  • Picture quality is not so great
  • Lack of Wi-Fi can be problematic
  • Proper focus is difficult to obtain in the indoor lighting environment

Coolpix P1000

Bought this camera about 1 month ago learning to use it love love it. I also have a d3500 dslr I love Nikon products. This p1000 is clear sharp and captures wildlife for me and flowers which is what I love to shoot. It is amazing so far and will be even more amazing as I learn it better.

the bottom line, i didn't like the images it produced. they don't stand up to close scrutiny under any conditions. nikon needs to step up the game on the sensor and processing front before this type of system will be worth the 1k price

Camera optical and image quality is all they say it is. The 125 zoom works very well and the stabilzation is amazing so pictures at full zoom are possible handheld. There is also digital zoom taking the effective zoom to 500x !!

"Amazing zoom, no regrets"

If you're a flat earther, or simply want to see what stars look like up close without any of that fake CGI rubbish that NASA produces, then you'll want to get this camera (or the Nikon Coolpix P900 – which is quite a lot cheaper, but it does have less zoom).

Great camera Super Zoom

Purchased a month ago, and had owned the P900 before this, and besides the bigger size and weight over the P900, (it's big) the improvements over it are worth the extra cost, the zoom is epic, great pics, features and easy to use.
