Nikon Coolpix P1000 Digital Camera Summary
The Nikon p1000 is a digital camera that lets you take your photography further than before. Featuring a stunning 125x optical zoom, this bridge camera has 5 stops of in-built stabilisation – needed when you consider this is the 35mm equivalent of a 24-3000mm zoom focal range! With an additional 250x Dynamic Fine Zoom that equates to 6000mm, you can capture the craters on the surface of the moon! In fact, the camera has scene modes specifically for moon shots.
The camera has been built to make it comfortable and practical – the zoom slider on the lens encourages you to support the lens while holding the camera steady. Custom functions allow you to personalise the experience – we love that when the lens is in AF mode, you can use the focus ring to adjust your exposure compensation, white balance or ISO.

Steady images

Always find your target
A large grip and well-positioned controls make it easy to adjust the zoom quickly and smoothly. No matter what the sky reveals, you'll be ready.
This camera's generous grip ensures a stable hold and the side zoom control lets you extend the lens with your thumb.
