It has the same 1cm macro focus distance and, like the P1000, has a 16 Megapixel sensor and provides broadly the same exposure modes and shooting features. With a range of 24-2000mm it comes close to the P1000’s range (if you reckon a shortfall of 1000mm isn’t close, in terms of angle of view, it’s less of a difference than you might think). The most obvious competitor to the P1000 is Nikon’s own COOLPIX P900. So the question you need to ask yourself is, how important is that 3000mm top end to you and how often are you likely to use it? Bear in mind some of the caveats I mentioned in my review, namely that it’s very difficult to handhold the camera and frame a subject at such a long focal length and, other than in bright conditions, at f8 you may find yourself struggling to avoid camera shake and having to shoot at higher ISO sensitivity settings. That said, there are options if you’re prepared to compromise a little and settle for something that goes long, but not quite that long. If you like the idea of a mega-zoom, but are wondering what the alternatives to the COOLPIX P1000 might be, the short answer is that you won’t find anything to match its incredible 125x range. It has a built-in flash plus a hotshoe, a socket for an external microphone, a mini HDMI port and a USB port that’s used to charge the battery in the camera. The P1000 has a nice big 3.2 inch LCD screen which is fully articulated as well as 0.39 inch 2.3 million dot OLED Electronic viewfinder. The P1000 offers 4k video recording in addition to 1080p and 720p modes and there are also high speed (slow motion) modes that playback at 2x (720p) and 4x (480p). There’s also a choice of numerous lower resolution continuous shooting options up to 120fps albeit only at VGA (640×480) resolution. It can shoot a one-second burst of full resolution frames at 7fps. The lens is optically stabilised and when shooting movies there’s the option of additional electronic image stabilisation.īeyond the lens, the COOLPIX P1000 has a comparatively small 1/2.3 inch sensor with a resolution of 16 Megapixels and can save RAW files as well as JPEGs. At the wide angle setting the maximum aperture is f2.8, closing to f8 when zoomed all the way in. Closer to home, the P1000 can focus as close as 1cm for impressive macro shots. 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 poles cropped. This is a camera that’s really all about the lens. The Nikon COOLPIX P1000 is a DSLR-styled super-zoom with a world-beating 125x zoom range.
