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 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. But, with patience, practice and a very steady hand, you may be able to capture unique pictures of wildlife - and even the craters on the moon.- 125x 24-3,000mm (equivalent) lens
- Excellent image stabilization
- Fully articulating LCD
- 4K UHD video
- RAW capabilities
- Bulky
- Variable image quality
- No touch screen
- Short battery life
broken
I bought this as a Christmas presents and its broken. I'm not back from holidays until the 3rd of Jan so all the memories my daughter was going to capture is gone.
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 review: A simply super superzoom
It's hard not to be gobsmacked by the P1000's 3,000mm-equivalent lens, especially in light of its (just about) three-figure price. It's an amazing technical achievement.- Stunning zoom capabilities
- Reasonable price
- Impressive photo and video performance in good light
- Image quality suffers badly in low light
- No touchscreen
- Laggy viewfinder
Phenomenal!
OMG. What a camera. Took awesome handheld pictures zoomed in on the moon one night that were phenomenal. Like a telescope more than a camera. It is very heavy but no more than a DSLR with same focal length lens. Don't understand why they can't make the lens cap with a small hole to attach a strap.
Nikon Coolpix P1000 Review (Review Nikon Coolpix P1000)
The Nikon Coolpix P1000 has the longest zoom of any fixed lens camera yet, but it takes a good deal of skill to master.- Incredible 125x (24-3,000mm) zoom range., 7fps burst., Vari-angle LCD., EVF., Raw support., 4K video., Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
- Image quality suffers at maximum zoom., Unresponsive after bursts., No weather protection., Pricey., Bulky., Screen omits touch support.
Very Happy with the camera
very happy with the P1000 yes its heavy but you do get used to it . for me it performs best on a tripod due to size some times a little slow to focus but other than that it is awesome with how close you can get to a bird or animal far away best zoom i have used- Easy to use
- Battery life
- Screen size
- Bulky
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.
What a beast
I love the 3000mm zoom, not a big fan of the weight, this thing is a beast. That being said, I am getting great photos of craters on the moon.
