COOLPIX P1100 Superzoom Digital Camera | 125x Optical Zoom with Image Stabilization 16 MP 4K Ultra HD Video Wi-Fi Connectivity RAW Format and Rotating LCD Screen (Black)

This is my fourth Nikon Coolpic super zoom. The greatest cameras for bird and animal life when traveling. I have Canon Pro equipment but when hitting the road the combination of super zoom and performance in these cameras is extraordinary. I started with the P900 then two P1000’s and now a P1100. No you are not going to get a 80 meg file but if you learn how to use this camera you will get extraordinary shots you couldn’t get with anything else because of the super zoom. Don’t believe me? check out my FB page where you will see. Going on a safari to Africa this is camera you need. We do a lot of nature photography down here near Marineland in Florida. Extraordinary bird shots. The P1100 is the best del you will ever get capabilities against price and if you view the results on a new iPad your photos will blow your mind!

WE are both many decades photographers with real cameras, heavy cameras, but my wife - being smarter than me - years ago purchased a bridge camera P900 to add to her camera bag, and loved it. A few years ago, she upgraded to the newer P1000 and it's still a great camera and while it will NEVER match the quality and sharpness of a real SLR camera with sharper quality lenses, that bulky P1000 is not shabby at all. With years of using the coolpix bridge cameras, she's gotten very used to handholding the camera to get some great images. All of my life I've shot with film, then swapping over to digital cameras and "loving" having to clean the sensor, and now with my current brand of Sony digital cameras, notorious for the sensors and dust spots, I spend almost as much time cleaning sensors AS I do creating images! I finally got upset enough to buy meself a P1100, of course one up on her P1000, and yesterday went out for a first time shoot with the new P1100, and I was impressed! Not the greatest results against my current Sony A7cii and big heavy lenses, but the pleasure was in knowing I wouldn't ever have to clear off dust off a sensor, NOR filth off my images!! What will I do with all the free time I'll have now, just going out to record more memories and NOT have to clean out the filthy dirt off my images? Only my heart and SD cards know for sure!! A few first images with the P1100 below. UPDATE: Warning: the bird-watching mode does not operate as a true camera does. Even with continuous tracking, in bird mode, and focusing on a test subject, it does NOT follow the bird. With my Sony a7cii, the tracking will focus on, and following the birds in flight or not, and each image will be sharp. This does NOT seem to do that function well. It doesn't do well in focus NOR track in active mode or with shutter in continuous tracking mode. If I'm doing something wrong tell me, because I'm doing this with experience with real cameras and first-time with this bridge camera.

The zoom range is absolutely incredible (even before you hit digital zoom range). I have two minor complaints. First complaint is the controls are not consistent with higher end Nikon cameras (D850, Z7, etc). If you are used to those cameras learning the controls on the P1100 takes a bit of practice. Second some of the intermediate/advanced features are hard to get to (example Bracketing setting requires opening a menu and making 2 or 3 selections to change the setting). Video quality is very good however due to stabilization if you zoom far and don't use a tripod you get stuttering in the video scene which is an effect of the stabilization trying to compensate. Other think to be aware of is this is a lightweight camera. All plastic. It feels "delicate" and feels like it wouldn't take much to damage it vs. other Nikon cameras. The "Bird" mode works great. If you want a powerful zoom at a cheap price this is the way to go. If you want durability and advanced options, not so much there.

Love this camera. It is amazing. Funny thing is I thought the weight would be a problem, because the lighter camera I used previously was hard to hold on target; and the thought of holding more weight made me believe my waving would be even worse. But the weight actually helps steady the camera more for those critical shots. Zoom is amazing.

This single camera is able to accomplish what I used to need a bag of extra lenses and supplies besides. It is a real workhorse. I have left my more expensive and heavy equipment behind. It’s a game changer. Far away and up close pictures are a click away…

I bought this camera primarily for astrophotography: Moon and Sun (with appropriate filters!!!). With a 125x zoom, you can get excellent shots of the Moon, provided you use a very stable tripod and a remote shutter and appropriate filters. Same for the Sun. Camera: fantastic zoom capability, very good optics. Adequate functionality. Nikon is purposefully limiting the range of functions and controls available to users, particularly remote functions. Ie: the Snapbridge app is a full function app for Nikon 35mm mid and up market cameras but severly restricted for the P1100 and Nikon's user manual is purposefully vague about the limitations imposed on this camera. That said, if you are looking for a camera with good optics and a powerful zoom, this is it! I am very happy with mine.

The camera performs well overall, but this specific product has a problem with the zoom function.

Una excelente camara , fácil de usar y un zoom increíble

Gostei muito. Ótimos recursos, qualidade superior, facil de manipular.

Still getting used to the camera but so far I have no issues, yes it is a big camera but it is not as heavy as I thought it would be. A sturdy tripod is required when using the zoom at full length.

想像以上に遠くが見える。野鳥観察、撮影はこれで十分。
