Nikon Coolpix P1000
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 puts a mind-boggling 125x zoom in your hand for $999
With its 24-3,000mm lens, there's no doubt you'll have the biggest zoom in the room. It took a few years, but Nikon finally topped the zoom range of its own class-leading 83x 24-2,000mm zoom Coolpix P900 -- and by a lot.
Nikon's New CoolPix P1000 Has A Bananas 125x Zoom Lens
With a ridiculous 83x zoom, people have used the super long lens on Nikon's Coolpix P900 to snap pics of Saturn or pull off the kind of shots you normally only see in spy movies. But apparently that wasn't good enough, so today, Nikon is announcing the new Coolpix P1000 featuring frankly ridiculous...
Nikon COOLPIX P1000 review
The Nikon COOLPIX P1000 is a DSLR-styled super-zoom with a world-beating 125x zoom range. This is a camera that's really all about the lens. Starting at a comfortably wide 24mm, it just keeps on going, all the way to an equivalent 3000mm – that's powerful enough to take photos of the moon with the...
Nikon Coolpix P1000 review
The P1000 is a loveable beast and an optical marvel, but it's difficult to recommend. Max zoom is rarely required in real world shooting, and the optic necessitates a small sensor with underwhelming image quality.- Stunning zoom range
- Good EVF
- Excellent image stabilisation
- 4K video and RAW photos
- Average image quality
- Poor low light performance
- Big and heavy
- Focusing and VR struggle at extreme zoom
Nikon Coolpix P1000 Superzoom Camera Review: The Incredible Hulk
Superzoom cameras, like Nikon's Coolpix P1000 ($999.99) are popular because, let's face it, people who buy entry level DSLR's rarely, if ever, take the kit lenses off their cameras.
Achieving a high level of optical zoom on DSLRs and full-frame cameras typically requires using a large and heavy lens, like the ones you've probably seen being used at sporting events or for wildlife photography.
- Impressive zoom range
- Very good lens stabilisation
- Fully articulating display
- RAW and 4K support
- Heavy and bulky
- Average quality JPEGs
- Battery life could be better
- Autofocus can be sluggish
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.- 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...
- Picture quality is not so great
- Lack of Wi-Fi can be problematic
- Proper focus is difficult to obtain in the indoor lighting environment
Versatile, with limitations
I can't imagine a more versatile camera to take on long hikes, or as a travel camera. In a relatively compact and lightweight package, it combines the ability to shoot wide enough to get a good context shot of a large building, yet with enough zooming capability to zero-in on an architectural detail...
Nikon Coolpix P1000 Review: This 125x Superzoom Shoots the Moon
Even with its impressive focal range of 24mm to 3,000mm (35mm equivalent), this camera is a lot for the average photographer to handle.

- 4K UHD video
- RAW capabilities
- Bulky
- Variable image quality
- No touch screen
- Short battery life
