The Nikon COOLPIX P1000 (COOLPIXP1000) is a superzoom bridge camera that pushes the telephoto concept to an unprecedented extreme, offering a 125x optical zoom equivalent to 24-3000mm in 35mm format. With Dynamic Fine Zoom engaged, that reach extends to a staggering 6000mm equivalent. Behind that colossal lens sits a 16-megapixel back-side illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor in 1/2.3-inch format, processed by Nikon's updated EXPEED engine for this generation.
Image stabilization is critical on a lens with this reach: the P1000 incorporates Dual Detect Optical VR, which Nikon rates at 5 stops of shake compensation. Framing relies on a 2,359K-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with 99% coverage and a 3.2-inch vari-angle screen at 921K dots, though without touch functionality. It records 4K UHD video at 30p and Full HD up to 60p, with Nikon's proprietary RAW (NRW) output, and offers specialized scene modes like Moon Mode and Bird Watching Mode aimed at its astronomy and nature audience.
Weighing 1410 grams with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity via the SnapBridge app, the P1000 is built for nature photographers, birdwatchers and amateur astrophotographers who need extreme reach without swapping lenses. Launched in 2018 at $999.95 USD, it remains one of the longest optical zoom consumer cameras ever built, though its 250-shot CIPA rating reflects the typical tradeoffs of small-sensor compacts pushed to extreme telephoto reach.
