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!

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…

This camera is ideal for wildlife photography because of its insane zoom capabilities, plus it's lighter and a lot more compact than lugging around a 3-foot-long lens. It shoots sharp pics even freehand at full zoom. My only complaint is the power button. It's nearly impossible to turn the camera on while wearing gloves. I may glue a small button on top to make it easier to use when it's cold. Nikon might want to take note for future designs of this camera.

I purchased this before going on a trip to Alaska. It did a great job at photographing bear, sheep, moose, fox and caribou from long distances away. The clarity is awesome. Even though is has some stability built in, when taking the zoom out to a max, you will need a tripod to keep things steady. It was great at takings video/pics from different distances. The other tourist we were with were amazed at how close I could get. I took a picture of a glazier about a half mile away, then zoomed in on it to see the crystal formation on the glazier (as if I were 50 feet 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.

I understand that professional photographers don't like this camera. Lighting has to be perfect for a 16mp shot at 3000mm (125x). I get it. But for just over a grand, the normal armature photographer, can't have anything close to this level of zoom except for spending $20,000+ for camera and lens. I will TAKE this level of photography... per the pics I have attached. The Eagle was about 125-150 yards (300 feet) away. I used a post to lean the camera on to stabilize the shot, as I didn't have my tripod. Darn good.

Not much of an upgrade from the previous version but these "Super zoom" cameras are cool for what they will do.... And this one has good video quality for my purposes. I rarely take video and am mostly taking wildlife shots just for enjoyment.

poor photo resolution even when not at high optical zoom. Apparently from what i read to achieve its very high optical zoom it had to sacrifice image quality even at lower zoom levels. I would have returned it but i was past the return date when i finally realized that the sub par image quality was the camera itself and not the lighting or settings i was using. The canon SX 70 hs while only having 1/2 the optical zoom capability compared to this nikon takes MUCH higher resolution photos
